Can you signal partial completion? For example, if a trigger know that blocks of 10,000 are optimal and it sees tg_tot_num_events == 1,000,000 that it could do work every 10,000 entries, as in when: (tg_event_num % 10000) == 0 || tg_event_num == tg_tot_num_events Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <klep...@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > He who writes carelessly confesses thereby at the very outset that he does > not attach much importance to his own thoughts. -- Arthur Schopenhauer
