Perhaps, though of course it would need to be re-licensed. I'd be happy to see us pursue a snapshot cloning framework, wherever it comes from. I remain unconvinced that it should be made a hard requirement for parallel pg_dump, but of course if we can get it implemented then the point becomes moot. Let's not let this fall on the floor. Someone should pursue this, whether it's Joachim or Koichi or someone else. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
