I took a look at the latest patch set. + <entry role="catalog_table_entry"><para role="column_definition"> + <structfield>indexes_total</structfield> <type>bigint</type> + </para> + <para> + The number of indexes to be processed in the + <literal>vacuuming indexes</literal> + or <literal>cleaning up indexes</literal> phase. It is set to + <literal>0</literal> when vacuum is not in any of these phases. + </para></entry>
Could we avoid resetting it to 0 unless INDEX_CLEANUP was turned off or failsafe kicked in? It might be nice to know how many indexes the vacuum intends to process. I don't feel too strongly about this, so if it would add a lot of complexity, it might be okay as is. BTreeShmemInit(); SyncScanShmemInit(); AsyncShmemInit(); + vacuum_worker_init(); Don't we also need to add the size of the hash table to CalculateShmemSize()? + * A command type can optionally define a callback function + * which will derive Datum values rather than use values + * directly from the backends progress array. I think this can be removed. -- Nathan Bossart Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com
