Well, my proposal was to expose it, on the theory that it's useful. As we stream the WAL, we write it, so I think for all intents and purposes write == stream. But using it to convey the starting position makes more sense if you call it stream than it does if you call it write. > You propose to rename LogstreamResult.Write to .Stream, and > merge it and receiveStart? Yeah, or probably change recieveStart to be called Stream. It's representing the same thing, just in shmem instead of backend-local, so why name it differently? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
