Re: [PoC PATCH] Parallel dump to /dev/null - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I made a few amendments (here's v5) and was ready to push, when I
noticed that _StartBlobs() does not seem to be doing the right thing.
Did you test this with a few large objects?

The reason I noticed is I wondered about the amount of open() calls
(plus zlib function calls) we would save by keeping an FD open to
/dev/null, rather than opening it over and over for each object -- ie.,
maybe not touch setFilePath() at all, if possible.  That looks perhaps
too invasive, so maybe not.  But do audit other callsites that may open
files.
