Hello,
I've only a very superficial understanding on your work,
please apologize if this is off topic or if this was already discussed...
Have you considered performances for cases where multiple CREATE INDEX are running in parallel?
One of our typical use case are large daily tables (50-300 Mio rows) with up to 6 index creations
that start simultaneously.
Our servers have 40-60 GB RAM , ca. 12 CPUs and we set maintenance mem to 1-2 GB for this.
If the create index themselves start using parallelism, I guess that we might need to review our workflow...
best regards,
Marc Mamin
