    Postgresql's buffer manager has parts where it's showing its age. We'll discuss how it currently works, what problems there are, and what attempts are in progress to rectify its weaknesses.

    • Lookups in the buffer cache are expensive
    • The buffer mapping table is organized as a hash table, which makes efficient implementations of prefetching, write coalescing, dropping of cache contents hard
    • Relation extension scales badly
    • Cache replacement is inefficient
    • Cache replacement replaces the wrong buffers

    Multicorn is a generic Foreign Data Wrapper which goal is to simplify development of FDWs by writing them in Python.

    We will see:

    • what is an FDW what Multicorn is trying to solve how to use it, with a brief tour of the FDWs shipping with Multicorn.
    • how to write your own FDW in python, including the new 9.5 IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA api.
    • the internals: what Multicorn is doing for you behind the scenes, and what it doesn't

    After a presentation of FDWs in general, and what the Multicorn extension really is, we will take a look at some of the FDWs bundled with Multicorn.

    Then, a complete tour of the Multicorn API will teach you how to write a FDW in python, including the following features:

    • using the table definition
    • WHERE clauses push-down
    • output columns restrictions
    • influencing the planner
    • writing to a foreign table
    • IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA
    • ORDER BY clauses pushdown
    • transaction management

    This will be a hands-on explanation, with code snippets allowing you to build your own FDW in python from scratch.
