As a temporary fix I need to write some uploaded image files to PostgreSQL
until a task server can read/process/delete them.
The problem I've run into (via server load tests that model our production
environment), is that these read/writes end up pushing the indexes used by
other queries out of memory -- causing them to be re-read from disk. These
files can be anywhere from 200k to 5MB.
... PostgreSQL doesn't have any provisions for preferring one thing or
another for storing in memory. The easiest thing I can think would be
to add memory to the machine (or configure Postgres to use more) such
that those files aren't pushing enough other pages out of memory to
have a problematic impact.
Perhaps this is just noise - but how is "just a" 5Mb file upload pushing
critical matter out of memory ? Throttle your file uploads ...
