Thanks everyone for the analysis downthread. Here's a test case that provokes the crash faster. Initialize with
create table brin_test (a text); create index on brin_test using brin (a) with (pages_per_range = 1); Then in one psql, run this: select brin_summarize_new_values('brin_test_a_idx') \watch 0.1 and a pgbench running a script with this line (one client is enough): insert into brin_test values (repeat(chr(ascii('A') + int4(random() * 61)), int4(random() * 200))); It crashes in 10-20 seconds for me. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
