What kind of buckets do you have before you try to modify them? You can't modify some types of buckets.
You're not supposed to modify the data in ANY kind of bucket. Buckets are
write-once read-many. If you want to modify the data in a bucket, you
have to do a bucket read, copy the data into a new buffer, modify it, and
place the new buffer into a new bucket, replacing the old bucket.
Cliff, is this documented somewhere?
Do you have to read-modify-replace even if you don't modify the length of the data? e.g. lowercasing all the data in the bucket?
yes.
always.
you don't know what the backing store of the bucket is, and who else could be referecing it at the same time.
(shared mem/cache/memory mapped files are examples on where you don't won't to modify the data).
Thanks Cliff.
While we are at the topic of removing buckets. Is it bad if the bucket removed from bb but not destroyed? It should be automatically purged when the pool it was allocated from is cleaned up, so we get a temp memory leak (while the pool is alive). Are there any other side effects I'm not aware of? I suspect that there could be a problem with these "other" resources, which aren't memory, because of the reference counting?
