Subject: LogicalChanges* and LogicalSubxact* wait events are never reported
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2021 14:12:20 +0900
Message-ID: <ff077840-3ab2-04dd-bbe4-4f5dfd2ad481@oss.nttdata.com> (raw)

Hi,

When I read the documents and source code of wait evens,
I found that the following wait events are never reported.

* LogicalChangesRead: Waiting for a read from a logical changes file.
* LogicalChangesWrite: Waiting for a write to a logical changes file.
* LogicalSubxactRead: Waiting for a read from a logical subxact file.
* LogicalSubxactWrite: Waiting for a write to a logical subxact file.


The wait events are introduced in the following patch.

 Add support for streaming to built-in logical replication.

I read the above discussion and found the wait events were reported at first.
But they seemed to be removed because they are not necessary because
BufFileWrite/BufFileRead are enough([1]).


If my understanding is right, it's better to remove them since they make
users confused. Please see the attached patch. I confirmed that to make
check-world passes all tests.
