Hi,
Recently I've heard people complaining that Postgres doesn't expose any
statistics about how many full page writes happened during some time frame.
Indeed, I couldn't find any easy way to do so, and judging from my
understanding of xloginsert.c it actually can be done per database with the
attached poc patch.
I guess it can be implemented in a more effective and optimized way, but with
what I have right now first naive pgbench tests show that slowdown is about 3%.
Before I'll dig into it more, it would be nice to hear your opinion about this
idea - does it make sense to have something like this?
