Multi-xacts were made durable in Postgres 9.3 (released 2013-09-09) to allow primary-key-column-only locks. 1.7 years later, we are still dealing with bugs related to this feature. Obviously, something is wrong.
There were many 9.3 minor releases containing multi-xacts fixes, and these fixes have extended into 9.4. After the first few bug-fix releases, I questioned whether we needed to revert or rework the feature, but got no positive response. Only in the past few weeks have we got additional people involved. I think we now know that our inaction didn't serve us well. The question is how can we identify chronic problems and get resources involved sooner. I feel we have been "asleep at the wheel" to some extent on this. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
