Hi,
As suggested in [1], the attached patch adds shared buffer hits to
pg_stat_io.
I remember at some point having this in the view and then removing it
but I can't quite remember what the issue was -- nor do I see a
rationale mentioned in the thread [2].
It might have had something to do with the interaction between the
now-removed "rejected" buffers column.
I am looking for input as to the order of this column in the view. I
think it should go after op_bytes since it is not relevant for
non-block-oriented IO. However, I'm not sure what the order of hits,
evictions, and reuses should be (all have to do with buffers).
While adding this, I noticed that I had made all of the IOOP columns
int8 in the view, and I was wondering if this is sufficient for hits (I
imagine you could end up with quite a lot of those).
