Re: Extensible storage manager API - SMGR hook Redux - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hello!

I made a mistake during my previous rebase, I fixed that in the new v6 version.

I also added one more patch, which makes AIO callbacks (for the
startreadv functions) extensible. Without that the "read" part of the
SMGR extensibility isn't that useful, as most read calls already use
the new AIO infrastructure.

To showcase another open source use case for this extension other than
pg_tde, I also created a new simple extension, pg_smgrstat, which
provides file level IO statistics using this API:

https://github.com/dutow/pg_smgrstat/

I'm also experimenting with another extension on top of these
statistics, which implements automatic offloading to slower storage
and back, based on the usage patterns of the file. I'll share that
along with later patch updates when it's ready.
