partial page writes during recovery. These pages can also be
eliminated from point-in-time archive files.
+ o -Add ability to turn off full page writes
+ o When off, write CRC to WAL and check file system blocks
+ on recovery
+ o Write full pages during file system write and not when
+ the page is modified in the buffer cache
+
+ This allows most full page writes to happen in the background
+ writer.
+
* Reduce WAL traffic so only modified values are written rather than
entire rows?
* Add WAL index reliability improvement to non-btree indexes
