What if we implement assign_pgstat_fetch_consistency() and execute
pgstat_clear_snapshot() in it when the mode switch happens (to avoid
possible inconsistency between the GUC and the current pgstat state)?
If snapshots in different modes contain different data sets, will such
behaviour be unexpected for a user?
For example, if a user performs:
SET LOCAL stats_fetch_consistency = snapshot;
{some-actions-1}
SET LOCAL stats_fetch_consistency = none;
{some-actions-2}
SET LOCAL stats_fetch_consistency = snapshot;
{some-actions-3}
Should she expect that some-actions-1, some-actions-2 will be
reflected in the snapshot at the end?
Best regards,
Alexander
