Hi,

Here are some comments for the new version patches.

1)
+       TempTablespacePath(tempdirpath, tablespace);
+       snprintf(path, MAXPGPATH, "%s/%s%lu.%u.sharedfileset",
+                        tempdirpath, PG_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX,
+                        (unsigned long) fileset->creator_pid, fileset->number);

do we need to use different filename for shared and un-shared fileset ?

2)
I think we can remove or adjust the following comments in sharedfileset.c.

----
 * SharedFileSets can be used by backends when the temporary files need to be
 * opened/closed multiple times and the underlying files need to survive across
 * transactions.
----
 * We can also use this interface if the temporary files are used only by
 * single backend but the files need to be opened and closed multiple times
 * and also the underlying files need to survive across transactions.  For
----

3)
The 0002 patch still used the word "shared fileset" in some places, I think we
should change it to "fileset".

4)
-extern File SharedFileSetCreate(SharedFileSet *fileset, const char *name);
-extern File SharedFileSetOpen(SharedFileSet *fileset, const char *name,
-                                                         int mode);
-extern bool SharedFileSetDelete(SharedFileSet *fileset, const char *name,
-                                                               bool 
error_on_failure);
 extern void SharedFileSetDeleteAll(SharedFileSet *fileset);
-extern void SharedFileSetUnregister(SharedFileSet *input_fileset);

I noticed the patch delete part of public api, is it better to keep the old api 
and
let them invoke new api internally ? Having said that, I didn’t find any open 
source
extension use these old api, so it might be fine to delete them.

Best regards,
Hou zj
