So: automatic switching of xlogs....
I've written a patch to implement archive_timeout, apart from the
infrastructure required to allow archiver to use LWLocks.
If we do this, it will allow the archiver to write to shared memory and
log files in particular. People may have a robustness issue with that,
so I'd like to check before doing this.
As a result, I'm thinking: What's the minimum infrastructure I can get
away with?
I'll post to -patches what I've got, to further this discussion.
