partial page writes during recovery. These pages can also be

eliminated from point-in-time archive files.

o -Add ability to turn off full page writes

o When off, write CRC to WAL and check file system blocks

on recovery

o Write full pages during file system write and not when

the page is modified in the buffer cache

This allows most full page writes to happen in the background

writer.

* Reduce WAL traffic so only modified values are written rather than

entire rows?

* Add WAL index reliability improvement to non-btree indexes
