Hi, I believe it makes sense adding some more details to explain analyze output like the number of pages read/written. This will allow one to understand the workload the query puts on the server making it easier to tune queries, choose the best indices, etc.
As far as I understand, this patch is rather trivial as backend\storage\buffer collects the required information. The only thing is to add several fields to the struct Instrumentation (include\executor\instrument.h), fill them in during Instr* calls in (backend\executor\instrument.c) and update backend\commands\explain.c to report the collected data. I think think this change is going to split page access statistics by each and every execution node (much like 'actual time' is split now). Will this patch ever be accepted?
