Unfortunately, other emergencies have cut into my time for
finishing this for 9.5, and it seems more appropriate for a "start
of release cycle" patch than a "just before beta" patch; so look
for that in the first CF for the next release. (Of course, if
someone wants to run with it and wants to argue for 9.5, I'll do
what I can to ensure it is solid.)
The current status, as I see it, are that there are two things that
need to be done:
(1) The GUC needs to be changed from number of transactions to
time-based. This is partly done, and could probably be finished in
a couple full-time days.
(2) Every index AM needs to insert a TestForOldSnapshot() call
after each BufferGetPage() call which is used for a search or scan.
(Those used to position for inserts or other internal purposes
don't need this treatment.) The btree AM is already done, but no
other AM has been started.
