It's not about whether the pointers can be assigned atomically; on most hardware they can. It's about whether other processors will see that happen in the correct sequence relative to the changes in the array elements. If you like I'll have a go at rewriting the comments for this patch, because I am currently thinking that the problem is not so much with the code as with the poor explanation of what it's doing. Sometimes the author is too close to the code to understand why other people have a hard time understanding it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

You said you were currently working some more on the patch, so I'll wait for v3 and then work on it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Why do most of the runs show primary and standby as having comparable speed, but a few show the standby as much slower? The parameters for those runs don't seem obviously different from cases where it's fast. I think there might have been something else going on on the standby during those runs. Or do you think those represent cases where the mystery slowdown event happened? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
