I think it is not good to have any single-purpose hooks -- a new global
variable "bool force_instrument" would be enough for the purpose ;-)
I'd like to suggest on-demand allocation of instruments instead.
PlanState->instrument is not only a runtime statstics collector, but also
represents whether instrumentation is enabled or not. However, we also
have the same information in EState->es_insrument. If we use it instread
of NULL check, we could initialize instrument fields in executor.
[src/backend/executor/execProcnode.c]
ExecProcNode(PlanState *node)
{ ... if (node->state->es_instrument) { if (node->instrument == NULL) node->instrument =
InstrAlloc(1,long_lived_memory_context); InstrStartNode(node->instrument); }
