- GordonS 4y agoWon't it just... write more WAL files?
- jerrysievert 4y agoyes, until you run out of disk - it's happy to write as much as you can handle. but, disk isn't usually infinite.
- GordonS 4y agoWell of course, but I don't feel like this is a noteworthy limitation here; it applies to any form of queue that persists messages. I had imagined the GP might have been insinuating something like: a configurable number of WAL files would be written, then they'll be overwritten once all full.
