Document the deferred cursor lifecycle.

Explain why cursor construction is deferred and why each iterator pins an MVStore version. This behavior is not obvious from RecordStream.fromIterable.

H2 MVStore registerVersionUsage deregisterVersionUsage TxCounter source contract

💡 Result:

In the H2 database MVStore, registerVersionUsage and deregisterVersionUsage are critical methods used to manage the lifecycle of database versions and prevent premature garbage collection of data needed by active operations [1][2]. 1. Purpose and Mechanism MVStore is a multi-versioned storage engine [2]. When data is updated, new versions of the store are created, and older versions are periodically removed (garbage collected) to reclaim disk space [2]. If an operation, such as an iterator or a long-running read, is accessing an older version of the store that gets garbage collected, the database will throw an IllegalStateException or a "Chunk not found" error [3][2]. The registerVersionUsage method registers that an operation (e.g., a transaction or a long read) is currently using a specific store version [1][2]. It returns a TxCounter object, which acts as a reference to the store's current version and tracks the usage count [1][4]. As long as the TxCounter is held, that version (and all versions subsequent to it) are protected from being dropped by the garbage collector [1][5][2]. The deregisterVersionUsage(TxCounter) method is called to signal that the operation is finished [1]. It decrements the usage count for the associated version [1]. When the count reaches zero, the version becomes eligible for reclamation, allowing the store to safely drop it and recover disk space [1][2]. 2. TxCounter TxCounter is a simple data structure within MVStore that holds the store version along with a counter of open transactions or operations currently using that version [4]. It is the handle passed between registerVersionUsage and deregisterVersionUsage to manage the life of a specific version [1][4]. 3. Usage Pattern Developers using MVStore directly (outside of standard SQL statements) must wrap long-running operations—such as iterating over a map—in these calls to ensure data stability [5][6][2]: TxCounter version = mvStore.registerVersionUsage; try { // Perform operations (e.g., iterations, reads) } finally { mvStore.deregisterVersionUsage(version); } Failing to properly pair these calls can lead to either "Chunk not found" exceptions (if deregistered too early or not registered) or unbounded file growth (if never deregistered) [5][2]. Internal components of H2, such as the Transaction class, use this mechanism automatically to manage snapshot consistency during SQL statement execution [7][3].

Synchronize cursor creation with map shutdown.

close() and drop() release only usages already in versionUsages. A cursor can register its usage at line 146 while shutdown runs, then add it at line 147 after releaseVersionUsages() completes. The usage can remain registered and retain MVStore pages. Protect registration, insertion, and shutdown release with one lifecycle lock and a closed state. Add a deterministic concurrent test.

Permit a converged file size after close.

commitAndWaitForHousekeeping can finish compaction before Line 97. db.close() can then leave the file size unchanged. Both strict checks fail although the file has reached the intended stable size. Change < to <=. The preceding 25% assertions already enforce the growth bound.

Test the autoCompact(false) contract.

Line 126 covers only the enabled default. Add a test that configures autoCompact(false) and asserts that the built MVStoreConfig remains disabled. This protects the supported opt-out path from silently reverting to forced compaction.

Cover version release when drop() terminates active iteration.

Both tests verify close(), but the new lifecycle also releases active version usages on drop(). Add one abandoned-iteration test for each map type. Assert deregistration and NitriteIOException on later iterator access.
