Hi all, I am relaunching $subject as 10 development will begin soon. As far as I know, there is agreement that we can do something here. Among the different proposals I have found: - pg_clog renamed to pg_commit_status, pg_xact or pg_commit - pg_xlog renamed to pg_xjournal, pg_wal or pg_journal
Another idea from Stephen (https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20160826003715.gg4...@tamriel.snowman.net) would be to put everything that is temporary and not WAL-logged into a single place to facilitate the filtering work of backup tools. A straight renaming would be a simple patch (including pg_upgrade part), and if we actually do it for 10.0 it would be good to do it now instead of in 3 months. I don't mind writing a patch for it. Now, one of the things discussed as well was that we may want to still keep pg_xlog, and soft-link to pg_journal or whatever-the-new-name is to not break the existing tools. Personally, I'd prefer a hard break. That would not be complicated to fix for any tool maintainers.
