Bryan Pendleton updated DERBY-3097:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: checkNumOpens.diff

Attached is checkNumOpens.diff, a patch proposal.
This patch:
 - removes the defensive "if" statement from getColumnFromRow
 - removes the code which caught and recovered from the NPE
   in TableScanResultSet.printPosition, and replaces it with code
  which checks numOpens == 0 and uses that to decide if the
  positioning information should be printed or not.
 - adds the script from Beetle 4736 as a new regression case in
  subqueryFlattening.sql
 - updates predicatePushdown.out to reflect the new positioning output.

I think this patch is worthy of review; any feedback would be welcome.

> In BaseActivation.java there is the following code:
> protected final DataValueDescriptor getColumnFromRow(int rsNumber, int colId)
> throws StandardException {
>         if( row[rsNumber] == null)
>         {
>             /* This actually happens. NoPutResultSetImpl.clearOrderableCache 
> attempts to prefetch invariant values
>              * into a cache. This fails in some deeply nested joins. See 
> Beetle 4736 and 4880.
>              */
>             return null;
>         }
> return row[rsNumber].getColumn(colId);
> }
> During the investigation of DERBY-3033, I came to the conclusion that this 
> "if" statement is no longer necessary, and in fact is counter-productive, for 
> it makes diagnosing other problems harder by delaying the point at which data 
> structure problems are exposed as errors in the code.
> This JIRA issue requests that this code be evaluated, to determine whether or 
> not it truly is necessary, and, if it is not necessary, suggests that it 
> should be removed, to result in simpler, clearer code.
