Hello, I would like to contribute few points. >XLogInsertRecord(XLogRecData *rdata, XLogRecPtr fpw_lsn) > RedoRecPtr = Insert->RedoRecPtr; > } > doPageWrites = (Insert->fullPageWrites || Insert->forcePageWrites); > doPageCompression = (Insert->fullPageWrites == > FULL_PAGE_WRITES_COMPRESS);
Don't we need to initialize doPageCompression similar to doPageWrites in InitXLOGAccess? Also , in the earlier patches compression was set 'on' even when fpw GUC is 'off'. This was to facilitate compression of FPW which are forcibly written even when fpw GUC is turned off. doPageCompression in this patch is set to true only if value of fpw GUC is 'compress'. I think its better to compress forcibly written full page writes.

I am planning to run some tests to check how much compression can reduce WAL size with this new set of patches. I have been however able to check that those patches pass installcheck-world with a standby replaying the changes behind. Feel free to play with those patches...
