    Assignee: Yun Lee

> Unsafe use of DataInput.skipBytes() in StoredPage and StoredFieldHeader
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

>                 Key: DERBY-3941
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3941
>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Newcomer, Store
>            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
>            Assignee: Yun Lee
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Some methods in StoredFileHeader and StoredPage call 
> java.io.DataInput.skipBytes(int) with the assumption that it always skips the 
> requested number of bytes. According to the javadoc for skipBytes, it may 
> skip fewer bytes than requested, possibly 0, even if the end of the stream 
> hasn't been reached.
> The problem exists in these methods:
>   StoredFieldHeader.readFieldDataLength()
>   StoredPage.readRecordFromStream()
>   StoredPage.skipField()
>   StoredPage.readOneColumnFromPage()
>   StoredPage.readRecordFromArray()
> We should change the code so that it works correctly even if skipBytes() were 
> to skip fewer bytes than requested.
