HI The recent PostgreSQL commit changes the default TOAST compression to lz4 when LZ4 support is available, based on the rationale that LZ4 is generally more efficient than pglz in terms of CPU usage and compression ratio.Given that, should we also consider changing the default compression method used by wal_compression = on from pglz to lz4?
Currently, wal_compression = on still maps to pglz, while lz4 has to be selected explicitly with: wal_compression = lz4 If LZ4 is now considered stable and preferable enough to become the default for TOAST compression, it may be worth aligning WAL compression behavior as well, or at least discussing whether on should continue to imply pglz. Thanks
