Hi, all.
I think we should set the minimum version of PostgreSQL required for
Evergreen 3.14 to PostgreSQL 13. This is me speaking as a member of the
3.14 release team, and as the person who usually works on adding
installation support for new PostgreSQL releases in Evergreen.
According to the PostgreSQL versioning policy, Pg 10 & 11 are out of
community support, and Pg 12 community support ends on November 14, 2024.
See https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
I think that continuing to support obsolete database versions is holding
us back, and many of the optimization tricks we've added for those older
releases would no longer be needed. In my testing on the same hardware
an unoptimized PostgreSQL 16 database is generally faster than an
optimized PostgreSQL 10 database. This is with production data, but not
a production work load.
Just my, $2.00 (inflation),
Jason Stephenson
