Ok, here's another try :) With a couple more questions...
1. If I read Simon's email correctly, it implied that he wanted to see
the "free space map" message for a VACUUM even when VERBOSE is turned off.
I could just tweak it in PrintFreeSpaceMapStastics() as shown here...
but now elevel (which depended on VACUUM VERBOSE or not) is no longer
needed by PrintFreeSpaceMapStastics.
1a. Is that desired to always show this line as an INFO instead of
a DEBUG2 (which it currently is when VERBOSE is not selected)?
1b. Should I tweak vacuum.c (feels cleaner) or just freespace.c (minimal
changes).
2. If I read Simon's email correctly, it implied that he wanted to see
these new lines when you type VACUUM. This would suggest making
them INFOs. Making them INFOs would slightly contradict another
goal of wanting to see them in the LOG for automated log
grepping scripts to find, since that would require turning on INFOs
that I think commonly aren't logged. Also making them LOGs is
consistent with the checkpoint hint. I suppose they could be
made NOTICEs; but that isn't consistent with either.
