Deadlocks accessing DB metadata
-------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-3693
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3693
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JDBC
    Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3, 10.3.3.0, 10.3.2.1
         Environment: Linux amd64 or Windows 32bit
            Reporter: Svata Dedic


My code changes DB structure (create a column), then immediately after setting 
autocommit back to true, the code rescans the DB metadata
DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(catalog, schemaName, tableName, null);

I am sometimes getting a deadlock with these operations:

2008-04-16 19:50:47.833 GMT Thread[Default RequestProcessor,1,system] (XID = 
569844), (SESSIONID = 2), (DATABASE = /..../a3/.config/localdb/db), (DRDAID = 
null), Cleanup action starting 2008-04-16 19:50:47.833 GMT Thread[Default 
RequestProcessor,1,system] (XID = 569844), (SESSIONID = 2),  (DATABASE = 
/..../IJCProjects/a3/.config/localdb/db), (DRDAID = null), Failed Statement is: 
EXECUTE STATEMENT SYS."getColumns" ERROR 40XL2: A lock could not be obtained 
within the time requested.

The lockTable dump is:

I've seen the deadlock occur during several get-metadata operations 
(getImportedKeys, ...), each time waiting on the SYSSTATEMENTS apparently 
because of internally constructed PreparedStatement. The lock eventually times 
out and the locked out operation completes without error.

When the deadlock occurs, the "real" SQL into systables is being compiled (I 
traced this sql to be the value of "getColumns" key in 
org/apache/derby/impl/jdbc/metadata.properties file):
---------%<-----------------------%<--------------
Begin compiling prepared statement: SELECT CAST ('' AS VARCHAR(128)) AS 
PKTABLE_CAT, S.SCHEMANAME AS PKTABLE_SCHEM, TABLENAME AS
PKTABLE_NAME, COLS.COLUMNNAME AS PKCOLUMN_NAME, CAST ('' AS VARCHAR(128)) AS 
FKTABLE_CAT, FKTABLE_SCHEM, FKTABLE_NAME, FKCOLUMN_NAME, CAST ...
---------%<-----------------------%<--------------
