I don't think that's good either - you're delaying transaction commit (i.e. xact becoming visible / locks being released).
Agree with that.
That also has the danger of increasing lock contention (albeit more likely to be heavyweight locks / serializable state). It'd have to be after the transaction actually committed.
Yeah, I think that would make sense, even though we will be allowing a new backend to get connected insert WAL, and get committed but after that, it will be throttled. However, if the number of max connections will be very high then even after we detected a lag there a significant amount WAL could be generated, even if we keep long-running transactions aside. But I think still it will serve the purpose of what Satya is trying to achieve.
