                 Key: DERBY-4515
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4515
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JDBC
    Affects Versions: 10.6.0.0
            Reporter: Kristian Waagan
            Assignee: Kristian Waagan
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 10.6.0.0


The usage of the method DataValueDescriptor.setValue(InputStream stream, int 
length) is unclear. The intended use seems to be to pass on the known length of 
an input stream set from the JDBC-layer (i.e. setBinaryStream).
There seems to be two distinct cases:
 - the logical length of the stream is known
 - the logical length of the stream is not known

Using -1 when the length is not known seems to be an established pattern.
