it's session mode and the pool size is 1200 (cause I need to grantee that in the worst case we have enough slots for all possible clients), however even at the times preceding high-cpu-sys-stall, the number postmasters are like 15-20. When stall happens, it starts to raise but that's the result of DB not answering in timely manner.
as far as data - yes, I can probably clean up names and provide some data with same queries, though - we are not able to cause a stall just with those queries & pgbench; we are able to make the situation worse and stall much likely when it's overlapped with regular queries coming from our app. -- Vlad On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 10:45 AM, Merlin Moncure <mmonc...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 10:43 AM, Jeff Janes <jeff.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 7:29 AM, Vlad Marchenko <marche...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > >> update on my problem: despite pgbouncer, the problem still occures on my > >> end. > > > > As Merlin asked, how big is the pool?
