Dead/unreachable code in OpenConglomerate.lockPositionForWrite()
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4685
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4685
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 10.7.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


OpenConglomerate.lockPositionForWrite() contains this code twice:

            if (!waitForLock)
            {
                // throw lock timeout error.
                throw StandardException.newException(SQLState.LOCK_TIMEOUT);
            }

The second occurrence of this code can never end up throwing an exception, 
since waitForLock is guaranteed to be true there because of the identical check 
a couple of lines above. (Judging by the similar method lockPositionForRead(), 
it is probably the first check that should be removed, so that the latch on the 
page is released before the exception is thrown.)

Also, the method is always called with forInsert==false, so the forInsert 
parameter can be removed. (I also suspect that the method doesn't work 
correctly if ever used in an insert operation, since it calls 
latchPage(RowPosition) which will unlatch the page if the row isn't found on 
the page, and I assume that a row that is about to be inserted does not exist 
yet.)
