The idea was to have a single estate field that accumulates all the JIT counters of leader as well as workers. I see that you want to delay the merging of workers and backend counters until end of query execution.

You mean the worker instrumentation doesn't get folded into the leader until the query execution end, right ? In the committed code, I see that now we merge the leader instrumentation into the combined worker instrumentation in standard_ExecutorEnd(). > This seems good for the future and for > extensions - it's not actually "linear" time that's spent doing > JIT in workers (& leader), as all of that work happens in > parallel. Being able to disentangle that seems important. Ok. Your point is: we should have the backend and workers info stored in two separate fields, and combine them only when we need it; so that we will be in a position to show combined workers-only info separately in the future. From the code, it looks like the es_jit_combined_instr stores combined workers info not just from a single Gather node, but all the Gather nodes in the plan. If we want to have separate workers info, I am not sure if it makes sense in combining workers from two separate Gather nodes; because these two sets of workers are unrelated, aren't they ? > > This needs a bit more polish tomorrow, but I'm starting to like where > this is going. Comments? Yeah, I think the plan output looks reasonable compact now. Thanks. -- Thanks, -Amit Khandekar EnterpriseDB Corporation The Postgres Database Company
