Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-2967:
-------------------------------------------

I read the Oct 11 patch in the commit log and I have a question about 
checkEquality(). Sorry that I didn't comment before.

It looks like checkEquality() will create two String objects and two 
CollationElementIterator objects per character we want to check. This sounds 
overly expensive to me. Do you think there is a cheaper way to achieve the same?

I have a couple of ideas which may or may not work:

a) We could use the compare() method instead of iterators. It caches and reuses 
the iterators across calls and therefore it might be more efficient. It would 
also simplify the code, since the else clause in checkEquality() could be 
rewritten to:

} else {//dealing with territory based character string
    return collator.compare(new String(pat, pLoc, 1), new String(val, vLoc, 1)) 
== 0:
}

b) To eliminate *both* the String allocations and the CollationElementIterator 
allocations, I think we could allocate one CollationElementIterator for each 
string (as opposed to each character) and use setOffset()/getOffset() to ensure 
that we work on one character at a time.
