to have a go at it. Please let me know your thoughts, if you have any.
Apparently, nobody has any thoughts, but here's an updated patch set
anyway. The main change, other than rebasing, is that I did a bunch
more documentation work on the main patch (0005). I'm much happier
with it now, although I expect it may need more adjustments here and
there as outstanding design questions get settled.
After some thought, I think that it should be fine to commit 0001 and
0002 as independent refactoring patches, and I plan to go ahead and do
that pretty soon unless somebody objects.
0001 looks pretty good to me. The only thing I find a little troublesome
is the repeated construction of file names with/without segment numbers
in ResetUnloggedRelationsInDbspaceDir(), .e.g.:
+ if (segno == 0)
+ snprintf(dstpath, sizeof(dstpath), "%s/%u",
+ dbspacedirname, relNumber);
+ else
+ snprintf(dstpath, sizeof(dstpath), "%s/%u.%u",
+ dbspacedirname, relNumber,
segno);
If this happened three times I'd definitely want a helper function, but
even with two I think it would be a bit nicer.
0002 is definitely a good idea. FWIW pgBackRest does this conversion but
also errors if it does not succeed. We have never seen a report of this
error happening in the wild, so I think it must be pretty rare if it
does happen.
