[jira] Commented: (DERBY-4741) Make Derby work reliably in the presence of thread interrupts

["Dag H. Wanvik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4741?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12918977#action_12918977 ] 

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.
