How about having a constant sized "fastupdate" buffer, of say 100 rows
or a fixed number of pages, and when that becomes full, the next
inserter will have to pay the price of updating the index and flushing
I'm not sure that is acceptable because flushing pending list may take several
seconds in unpredictable moment.
the buffer. To keep that overhead out of the main codepath, we could
make autovacuum to flush the buffers periodically.
Do you mean that GIN sends a "smoke signal" to the autovacuum launcher process
to ask about vacuum?
