2. This inserts additional code in a bunch of really low-level places like heap_hot_search_buffer, heap_update, heap_delete, etc. I think what you've basically done here is create a new, in-memory heap AM and then, because we don't have an API for adding new storage managers, you've bolted it onto the existing heapam layer. That's certainly a reasonable approach for creating a PoC, but I think we actually need a real API here. Otherwise, when the next person comes along and wants to add a third heap implementation, they've got to modify all of these same places again. I don't think this code is reasonably maintainable in this form.
As I can see, you recommend to clean up the API of storage management code. I strongly agree that it's high time to do it. So, I started the discussion about refactoring and improving API of heapam and heap relations. You can find it on commitfest: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/10/700/ I'll be glad to see your thoughts on the thread. -- Anastasia Lubennikova Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
