Yes, I expect that to help a lot. > Before, I had no patch. Now mine "isn't finished". At what point will my > ideas be reviewed without instant dismissal? If we accept your seniority > argument, then "never" because even if I finish it you'll say "Fujii was > there first". I said very clearly in my previous email that "I think that everyone is prepared to accept a limited amount of further delay in pressing forward with the main part of sync rep". In other words, I think everyone is willing to consider your ideas provided that they are submitted in a form which everyone can understand and think through sometime soon. I am not, nor do I think anyone is, saying that we don't wish to consider your ideas. I'm actually really pleased that you are only a day or two from having a working patch. It can be much easier to conceptualize a patch than to find the time to finish it (unfortunately, this problem has overtaken me rather badly in the last few weeks, which is why I have no new patches in this CommitFest) and if you can finish it up and get it out in front of everyone I expect that to be a good thing for this feature and our community. > Do we have to benchmark multiple patches to prove which is best?

I think it's definitely possible that we'll need to do some benchmarking, although I expect that people will want to read the code first. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
