Is there an existing bug in Derby which you consider to be a showstopper for

If this bug is not being actively worked on, please flag it here ASAP,
so that those looking for bugs to fix can consider it.
After 10.3 was released, we've had a high number of reports about what
seems to be corrupted databases.
In JIRA:
DERBY-2284
DERBY-2589
DERBY-3052
DERBY-3087
DERBY-3143
DERBY-3219
DERBY-3344

I'm not sure this should block the release, but I can't say I am
completely comfortable with the situation. Does anyone have ideas on how
we can track down these bugs?
Hi Knut,
I don't have any bright ideas, just some comments:
1) It looks to me as though 2284 and 2589 are 10.2 issues. They are
marked as 10.3 issues but they seem to have been logged several months
before 10.3 was released.
2) I agree that these corruptions are disturbing. We may be seeing more
of them because the engine code is getting creakier. Alternatively, we
may be seeing more of them simply because Derby usage is ticking up.
Hard to say.
3) In general I wouldn't hold up the release of incremental improvements
because some other issue hasn't been fixed. As far as I can tell, 10.4
delivers useful features and performance improvements. At first blush,
it seems to me to be a better distribution than 10.3. I would hold up
10.4 only if we had a good reason to believe that 10.4 will make the
corruption issues worse.
4) It might be worthwhile for the community to focus on bug fixing for a
couple months. That could include a concentrated effort to track down
these corruptions.
Thanks for compiling this list of issues.
Regards,
-Rick
