Last year we were discussing some details on progress reporting, and
some people suggested that instead of printing a single percentage, we
should let each type of activity print out whatever metrics it has that
would allow an experienced DBA to track the progress. Effectively, this
is what this patch is trying to do.
So how about adding a column to pg_stat_activity, progress_metrics or
something like that, and add that information there.
