It would be needed for thestate id discussed here to be persisted.
According to the code of StoredPage#releaseExclusive() method, page cache are
removed from CacheManager when the page is unlatched.
org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.data.StoredPage#releaseExclusive() :
/**
* Ensure that the page is released from the cache when it is unlatched.
*
* @see org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.data.BasePage#releaseExclusive
*
**/
protected void releaseExclusive()
{
super.releaseExclusive();
pageCache.release(this);

> Index split deadlock

> Key: DERBY-2991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2991
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 10.2.2.0, 10.3.1.4
> Environment: Windows XP, Java 6
> Reporter: Bogdan Calmac
> Attachments: derby.log, InsertSelectDeadlock.java, Repro2991.java,
> stacktraces_during_deadlock.txt

> After doing dome research on the mailing list, it appears that the index
> split deadlock is a known behaviour, so I will start by describing the
> theoretical problem first and then follow with the details of my test case.
> If you have concurrent select and insert transactions on the same table, the
> observed locking behaviour is as follows:
> - the select transaction acquires an S lock on the root block of the index
> and then waits for an S lock on some uncommitted row of the insert transaction
> - the insert transaction acquires X locks on the inserted records and if it
> needs to do an index split creates a sub-transaction that tries to acquire an
> X lock on the root block of the index
> In summary: INDEX LOCK followed by ROW LOCK + ROW LOCK followed by INDEX LOCK
> = deadlock
> In the case of my project this is an important issue (lack of concurrency
> after being forced to use table level locking) and I would like to contribute
> to the project and fix this issue (if possible). I was wondering if someone
> that knows the code can give me a few pointers on the implications of this
> issue:
> - Is this a limitation of the top-down algorithm used?
> - Would fixing it require to use a bottom up algorithm for better
> concurrency (which is certainly non trivial)?
> - Trying to break the circular locking above, I would first question why
> does the select transaction need to acquire (and hold) a lock on the root
> block of the index. Would it be possible to ensure the consistency of the
> select without locking the index?
> -----
> The attached test (InsertSelectDeadlock.java) tries to simulate a typical
> data collection application, it consists of:
> - an insert thread that inserts records in batch
> - a select thread that 'processes' the records inserted by the other thread:
> 'select * from table where id > ?'
> The derby log provides detail about the deadlock trace and
> stacktraces_during_deadlock.txt shows that the inser thread is doing an index
> split.
> The test was run on 10.2.2.0 and 10.3.1.4 with identical behaviour.
> Thanks,
