Field Detail

MAX_CHUNK_SIZE

public static final int MAX_CHUNK_SIZE

1907584: Changed MAX_CHUNK_SIZE from 32512 to 32768. This was done to accommodate larger DB_BLOCK_SIZEs. Using 32512 would cause getBufferSize() to return 32512 for DB_BLOCK_SIZEs from 8192-32768. For these block sizes getBufferSize() should return getChunkSize(); not 32512. By using 32768 as the MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, getBufferSize() returns the correct chunk size. Please see bug for details.
