| | 264 | === Postgres for cache tables === |
| | 265 | * nardberjean: dkg: may I ask you a question about postrgres and drupal cache tables? |
| | 266 | * nardberjean: I read that posgres can be configured to be faster on less important data |
| | 267 | * dkg: nardberjean: you can always ask questions here -- even though some of us might not know the answers ;) |
| | 268 | * nardberjean: so I was asking me if that would apply to cache table |
| | 269 | * dkg: yes, i recommend that cache tables be created as in-memory tables if you have enough RAM |
| | 270 | * nardberjean: well I do not know it I can do that on mf machines |
| | 271 | * nardberjean: as a member |
| | 272 | * nardberjean: I have been told that the less RAM used the better on theses machines |
| | 273 | * dkg: you might be interested in a few different points of documentation at a system level: [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/non-durability.html] |
| | 274 | * dkg: in particular, look at [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/sql-createtable.html] and "unlogged" |
| | 275 | * dkg: "the less RAM used the better" is always generally true but isn't very nuanced -- if you use less RAM by swapping everything to disk all the time to the point where no one can use the disk it seems worse to me. |
| | 276 | * dkg: in my experience, most MF/PL machines are I/O constrained, not RAM constrained. |
| | 277 | * nardberjean: well Non-Durable Settings would be good for I/O, and I could do it by myself, even if I feel the change should be made into Drupal code. |
| | 278 | * nardberjean: for RAM tables, I do not know if it is already configured on mf machines, once I will have that info, I could try to move some small cache table to it... |
| | 279 | * dkg: cool! please report on support.mayfirst.org once you tried it out -- whether you make successful progress or otherwise, sorting this out is likely to be helpful to everyone on MF/PL. :) |
| | 280 | * nardberjean: dkg: with d8 being very intense on cache, it makes it more an issue |
