pg_stat_databasestatistics. High number can be signal about lock issues.
Would this not use the existing stats mechanisms? If so, couldn't we do this per table? (I realize that won't handle
allcases; we'd still need a "lock_time_other" somewhere).
Also, what do you mean by 'lock'? Heavyweight? We already have some visibility there. What I wish we had was some way
toknow if we're spending a lot of time in a particular non-heavy lock. Actually measuring time probably wouldn't make
sensebut we might be able to count how often we fail initial acquisition or something.
