Whoa. -1 from me for "consistency LSN". Consistency has to with whether the cluster has recovered up to the minimum recovery point or whatever -- that is -- questions like "am i going to run into torn pages?" and "should I expect some heap tuples to maybe be missing index tuples, or the other way around?". What I think "progress LSN" is getting at -- actually fairly well -- is whether we're getting anything *important* done, not whether we are consistent. I don't mind changing the name, but not to consistency LSN. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
