I think you'll need to rethink how a transaction commits rather completely, rather than consider localized tweaks to specific functions. For one thing, the WAL record about transaction commit has already been written by XactLogCommitRecord much earlier than calling TransactionIdCommitTree. So if you were to crash at that point, it doesn't matter how much the arbiter has rejected the transaction, WAL replay would mark it as committed. Also, what about the replication origin stuff and the TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData() call? I think you need to involve the arbiter earlier, so that the commit process can be aborted earlier than those things. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
