    pg_stat_statements: Track number of times pgss entries were deallocated. · 9fbc3f31
    Fujii Masao authored
    If more distinct statements than pg_stat_statements.max are observed,
    pg_stat_statements entries about the least-executed statements are
    deallocated. This commit enables us to track the total number of times
    those entries were deallocated. That number can be viewed in the
    pg_stat_statements_info view that this commit adds. It's useful when
    tuning pg_stat_statements.max parameter. If it's high, i.e., the entries
    are deallocated very frequently, which might cause the performance
    regression and we can increase pg_stat_statements.max to avoid those
    frequent deallocations.
    
    The pg_stat_statements_info view is intended to display the statistics
    of pg_stat_statements module itself. Currently it has only one column
    "dealloc" indicating the number of times entries were deallocated.
    But an upcoming patch will add other columns (for example, the time
    at which pg_stat_statements statistics were last reset) into the view.
