I can imagine it being a pretty common mistake to call pg_enable_data_checksums() on a 10 TB cluster, only to realize that you forgot to set the cost limit, and that it's hurting queries too much. At that point, you want to abort.
I've tried to pg_cancel_backend() and it worked.
But only if I cancel "checksum helper launcher" and then "checksum helper worker". If I cancel helper first - it spawns new.
Magnus, Daniel, is it safe to cancel worker or launcher?
BTW, I have some questions on pg_verify_chechsums.
It does not check catalog version. It it true that it will work for any?
Also, pg_verify_chechsums will stop on short reads. But we do not stop on wrong checksum, may be we should not stop on short reads either?
I agree with all of Heikki's comments.
Besides these I have no other questions, patch looks good.
Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
