Hi hackers,
while working on the new system catalog pg_wait_event (see [1]) I noticed that some wait
events are currently "duplicated":
postgres=# select wait_event_name,count(*) from pg_wait_event group by wait_event_name having count(*) > 1;
wait_event_name | count
-----------------+-------
SyncRep | 2
WALWrite | 2
(2 rows)
Indeed:
SynRep currently appears in "IPC" and "LWLock" (see [2])
WALWrite currently appears in "IO" and "LWLock" (see [2])
I think that can lead to confusion and it would be better to avoid duplicate wait event
name across Wait Class (and so fix those 2 ones above), what do you think?
