Scan protection handle could be cached in BasePage
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-2878
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2878
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Performance, Store
    Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


Each time a leaf node in a B-tree is visited in an index scan, a scan 
protection row is locked and unlocked. Both the lock operation and the unlock 
operation will allocate a new RecordId object representing the scan protection 
row (the unlock operation additionally allocates a PageKey object for the 
RecordId). Since the scan protection handle created will be identical (seen 
from equals()) each time it is created for a page, it would make sense to cache 
it in BasePage. Then we only need to allocate the protection handle for a page 
once for as long as it stays in the page cache. This would save three object 
allocations per single-record lookup via index.
