背景
目前pgbench最大可以测试1000个连接，显然在某些时候是不够的，我们可能需要建立更多的连接进行测试。
$ pgbench -j 3000 -c 1500
invalid number of clients: "1500"
使用这里提到的方法修改一下pgbench，让它能够建立100万个连接。
PostgreSQL 11这块会改掉，使用ppoll代替select，超过1000个连接。
[trying again for 2018-01]
This patch enables building pgbench to use ppoll() instead of select()
to allow for more than (FD_SETSIZE - 10) connections. As implemented,
when using ppoll(), the only connection limitation is system resources.
The patch has been implemented to introduce a minimal of #ifdef/#ifndef
clutter in the code.
Without this patch, one is limited to '(FD_SETSIZE - 10)’ number of connections.
Example of something that fails without this patch but works with the patch:
Without the patch:
$ pgbench -j 3000 -c 1500
invalid number of clients: "1500"
With the patch:
$ pgbench -j 3000 -c 1500
starting vacuum...end.
transaction type: <builtin: TPC-B (sort of)>
