-<h4>Summary of Change</h4>
-
-<p>
-Abnormal shutdown may cause sequences and identity columns to leak
-unused, preallocated values.
-</p>
-
-
-
-<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>
-
-<p>
-In previous releases, abnormal shutdown could leak up to 5 unused
-values per sequence. Now abnormal shutdown can leak up to 20 unused
-values. In addition, abnormal shutdown can leak up to 20 unused values
-for each identity column as well.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-Orderly database shutdown occurs when a
-user connects to Derby using the "shutdown=true" attribute as
-described by the <i>Reference Guide</i> in the section titled "Setting attributes for the database connection URL ".
-Abnormal shutdown occurs when the JVM exits without first closing databases
-in this orderly fashion.
-</p>
-
-
-
-<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>
-
-<p>
-In previous releases, sequences leaked only 5 values apiece on
-abnormal shutdown. Now they can leak up to 20 values.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-In previous
-releases, abnormal shutdown had no effect on identity columns. Now
-they too can leak up to 20 unused values apiece on abnormal shutdown.
-</p>
-
-
-
-<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>
-
-<p>
-Derby now preallocates longer ranges of upcoming values for sequences
-and Derby now preallocates the same sized ranges for
-identity columns. Preallocation results in fewer updates to the system
-catalogs. That, in turn, can substantially boost the concurrency of
-applications which use sequences and identity columns.
-</p>
-
-
-
-<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>
-
-<p>
-Applications which shut down their databases in an orderly fashion do
-not need to make any changes. Changes are also unnecessary for
-applications which exit abnormally but which can tolerate gaps of up
-to 20 values in sequences and identity columns. Note that Derby has
-never guaranteed that sequences and identity columns won't have
-gaps. Gaps can occur for other reasons. For instance, if a transaction
-aborts or is rolled back, Derby discards sequence and
-identity values allocated during a transaction--in this situation, gaps appear
-in the sequence and identity ranges.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>
-If an application cannot tolerate gaps of this size, then Derby's
-behavior can be customized by setting the <i>derby.language.sequence.preallocator</i> property as follows:
-</p>
-
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>
-<b>A number</b> - If the property is set to be a number, then that
- number becomes the size of the preallocation ranges for all
- sequences and identity columns. Setting
- <i>derby.language.sequence.preallocator=1</i> turns off
- preallocation. This causes identity columns to behave as they
- did in previous Derby releases. This also reduces the concurrency of
- sequences.</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>A class name</b> - The property can also be set to be the name of
- a class which implements
- <i>org.apache.derby.catalog.SequencePreallocator</i>. See Derby's
- public API for the javadoc which describes this interface. The
- user-supplied implementation of <i>org.apache.derby.catalog.SequencePreallocator</i> must
- appear on the database classpath. The class can
- individually customize the size of preallocation ranges for each sequence and
- identity column.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<p>
-For more information on setting the
-<i>derby.language.sequence.preallocator</i> property, see its section
-under the <i>Reference Guide</i> topic titled "Derby property reference".
