Yes, please do. Best with a short description of what the workload is, so we know what areas have been tested how. Just one word of caution: I'd be careful deploying betas into production. Even leaving possible bugs aside, while they&#

Hm, that should have gotten better with 11 (shared parallel hashjoin), but even before, there's plenty plans where parallelism is possible (by e.g. building the hashtable for a hashjoin over the smaller table(s) in each worker). Any ch

That should already have been improved a lot over the last few versions. Which version did you observe this with last, and if it was PG 10 or PG11, what type of query was this?

The pluggable table storage abstraction in v12 is one major stepping stone towards zheap. Another major piece (general undo infrastructure), is being discussed on the PG development list right now.

That doesn't sound normal. Those lists are pretty much tiny compared to a lot of other data stored in postgres. So there must have been something else going on. It'd be cool if you could report details of the problem you had.

jsonpath does allow a lot more complicated expressions than before. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions-json.html#FU... for example, and also https://www.depesz.com/2019/03

Indeed, that's one of the major reasons to introduce the tablem ("table access method") infrastructure. Interest in integrating at least one form of columnar storage is another.

It's indeed not that easy to quantify. A lot of indexes get considerably smaller - whether and how much that increases performance hugely depends on whether that means your workload afterwards fits into memory. It also depends hugely w

You can. But sometimes you can't drop indexes without further consequences. It might be e.g. a primary key, or a unique index used to enforce uniqueness on the referred-to side of a foreign key. You can work around those, but that requ

Would probably need a good bit of extra fuel for course corrections too. I'd imagine that a lot of ablative material gassing off on the side close to the earth would have course impact. And influence aerodynamics.

And they announced it while they thought the attention was elsewhere (due to the Muller report release), and in an easy to miss manner (as an update to a blog post). Very trust inspiring.
