From: Peter Eisentraut Date: Tue, 9 May 2017 18:40:42 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Improve memory use in logical replication apply X-Git-Tag: REL_10_BETA1~63 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=489b96e80b96c0eda02575347654e87968f2f5f4;p=postgresql Improve memory use in logical replication apply Previously, the memory used by the logical replication apply worker for processing messages would never be freed, so that could end up using a lot of memory. To improve that, change the existing ApplyContext memory context to ApplyMessageContext and reset that after every message (similar to MessageContext used elsewhere). For consistency of naming, rename the ApplyCacheContext to ApplyContext.
