Commit 263dfba6ee introduced neon extension version 1.5, which included
some new functions and views for metrics. It didn't bump the default
neon extension number yet, so that we could still safely roll back to
the old binary if necessary. This bumps the default version.
neon extension consists of several parts:
shared preload library neon.so
-
implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.
-
walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.
-
control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.
-
remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.
-
file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.
-
relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.
SQL functions in neon--*.sql
Utility functions to expose neon specific information to user and metrics collection. This extension is created in all databases in the cluster by default.
