For this, the analytic tools/users whoever wants to know the recovery
stats, will have to make connections to the database which might eat
up the total connections. Instead, the postgres emitting the stats via
a hook will be more promising. Thoughts?
A connection is the defacto interface for accessing Postgres statistics, no?
The monitoring tools have already an interface to gather database metrics via
SQL.
You are proposing to create a new way that all tools need to implement. It
seems more effort than it's worth. +1 for storing this data into the stats
system.
