Please review it. > Nice! Some notes about this patch. 1) Could you give same test case demonstrating that microvacuum really work with patch? Finally, we should get index less growing with microvacuum. 2) Generating notices for every dead tuple would be too noisy. I suggest to replace notice with one of debug levels. + elog(NOTICE, "gistkillitems. Mark Item Dead offnum %hd, blkno %d", offnum, BufferGetBlockNumber(buffer)); 3) Please, recheck coding style. For instance, this line needs more spaces and open brace should be on the next line. + if ((scan->kill_prior_tuple)&&(so->curPageData > 0)&&(so->curPageData == so->nPageData)) { ------ Alexander Korotkov Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company
