With all due respect to Alvaro et al, I can't imagine that that will
make it into 7.4. (I have no confidence that PITR or Win32 native port
will make it either...)

I'd think it's still at least as useful as clusterdb. Why, are you

I took a quick glance at this.
It boils down to essentially an:
1) ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN DEFAULT
2) UPDATE .. SET = IF IS NOT NULL;
3) Add including NOT NULL, CHECK, Foreign Key, etc. each
of which will do it's own confirmation pass on the values inserted into
the table by step 2 for t

Isn't the index growth problem solved in this release? I think that is
a killer feature that solves a big problem

Peer Directs relied on Visual C C++ code to handle it, and it didn't
look pretty. I am not sure how hard it is going to be to get that
working properly.

Also, keep in mind writes to O_DIRECT devices have to wait for the data

Not sure. We are petty deep in the backend code allowing CreateProcess
