Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-4741:
--------------------------------------
Now, heading back to Solaris after having flushed out NIO issues on Windows, I
see that Derby falls over when it gets interrupted
during transaction abort (XSTB0), as a result of receving an interrupt during a
log flush wait(LogToFile.java:4048). I saw this using InterruptedTest in the
patch. The test tries to reconnect (reboot), but eventually I can no longer get
a connection, because I hit a NullPointerException in
BaseDataFileFactory.java:639 (containerCache empty??). Cf enclosed xsbt0.log.

> When not executing on a small device VM, Derby has been using the Java NIO
> classes java.nio.clannel.* for file io.
> If thread is interrupted while executing blocking IO operations in NIO, the
> ClosedByInterruptException will get thrown. Unfortunately, Derby isn't
> current architected to retry and complete such operations (before passing on
> the interrupt), so the Derby database can be left in an inconsistent state
> and we therefore have to return a database level error. This means the
> applications can no longer access the database without a shutdown and reboot
> including a recovery.
> It would be nice if Derby could somehow detect and finish IO operations
> underway when thread interrupts happen before passing the exception on to the
> application. Derby embedded is sometimes embedded in applications that use
> Thread.interrupt to stop threads.
