ERROR XSDA7 while executing query that spills to BackingStoreHashTable
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-1939
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1939
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.0, 10.1.3.2
            Reporter: A B


I have a database with a large query that's failing in Derby 10.1 with:

  ERROR XSDA7: Restore of a serializable or SQLData object of class , attempted 
to read more data than was
  originally stored

The error only occurs if I use a PreparedStatement for the query and if I 
specify a parameter marker for one particular equality operand.  If I replace 
the parameter with an actual value, the query runs without error.

I was eventually able to come up with a standalone repro that uses nonsense 
tables and a nonsense query but still demonstrates the problem.  That said, the 
error does *not* occur in Derby 10.2 or main, so it has apparently been fixed 
in those codelines.

I did some investigating and was eventually able to track the fix down to svn 
commit # 389202 (DERBY-690).  Before that checkin the query fails against 10.2, 
but after that it runs without error.  It turns out that there's one 
uncommented change in svn 389202 that seems to have fixed the problem, namely:

Index: java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/store/access/heap/HeapRowLocation.java

    }
 
     public DataValueDescriptor getNewNull() {
-        return null;
+        return new HeapRowLocation();
    }
 
To confirm I undid this one line change in the 10.3 codeline and then the query 
started failing there.  Similarly, after I made this one-line change in the 
latest 10.1 codeline, the query started running successfully.  So apparently 
this is the fix to the problem...though I don't really know why...?
