Something that may be of interest to Derby as well...

Don't know if anyone caught Cliff's preso at Java One...

Anyone want to take a look at the new HashMap?

Thanks for the link, David! It looks interesting. Derby already uses
ConcurrentHashMap in the lock manager, so it should be relatively easy
to plug in a lock-free HashMap instead, I think. I'll see if I can find
time to test it out.

What would be really interesting would be if we could rewrite more of
the globally shared HashMaps in Derby (buffer manager and transaction
table come to mind) to use ConcurrentMap and provide a mechanism to
enable users to choose which implementation to use. By default, Derby
would use ConcurrentHashMap which is part of the JDK, and with a
property the users could specify that they wanted Cliff's
implementation (or someone else's).
