                 Key: DERBY-5881
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5881
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 10.9.1.0
         Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) 
-x86_64
and
OpenSuse 11.3 -x86_64

            Reporter: Tony Brusseau
            Priority: Blocker


I'm trying to load a large database. After about 18 million inserts I always 
get the following error:

 Exception: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Limitation: Record of a btree 
secondary index cannot be updated or inserted due to lack of space on the page. 
 Use the parameters derby.storage.pageSize and/or 
derby.storage.pageReservedSpace to work around this limitation.
Error Code: 20000

I'm already using the maximum pageSize as stated in the documentation (32768) 
and I've bumped up the reserved space to 25%. I've also gotten rid of every 
non-essential index for loading so this is probably related to a primary key 
index (I had to leave most of them around). Our loading process is very 
non-trivial and batched so I'm not even sure which insert/index is causing the 
problem.

Problems:
1. The error message doesn't give any information about which tables/columns 
indexes are causing this problem so I have no way of knowing if i can work 
around this problem somehow.
2.The database shouldn't die saying to adjust some magic numbers with no 
guidance on how to adjust them and by how much. Even if I do adjust them, what 
is to guarantee I won't get the same error at a later date...maybe even 
sometime during production which would be extremely bad. I believe an automated 
correction to this limitation needs to be created.
