Hey, I've just pulled and compiled the new code. I'm running a TPC-DS like test on different PostgreSQL installations, but running (max) 12queries in parallel on a server with 12cores. I've configured max_parallel_degree to 2, and I get messages that backend processes crash. I am running the same test now with 6queries in parallel, and parallel degree to 2, and they seem to work. for now. :)
This is the output I get in /var/log/messages Nov 16 20:40:05 woludwha02 kernel: postgres[22918]: segfault at 7fa3437bf104 ip 0000000000490b56 sp 00007ffdf2f083a0 error 6 in postgres[400000+5b5000] Is there something else I should get? cheers, Bert On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 6:06 PM, Jeff Janes <jeff.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 10:12 PM, Amit Kapila <amit.kapil...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 11:05 PM, Jeff Janes <jeff.ja...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> > >> On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 6:53 AM, Robert Haas <robertmh...@gmail.com> > >> wrote: > >> > > >> > I've committed most of this, except for some planner bits that I > >> > didn't like, and after a bunch of cleanup.
