I vote to make checkpoint flush unlogged tables only when the special flag
(that maybe we will introduce) is set. Unlogged tables are not flushed by
manual checkpoint. Per Robert, that's originally intentional. No dangerous
risk that may cause has been reported yet. So I don't think that we need to
change manual checkpoint so that it always flushes unlogged tables, at least
for now.
OTOH, I agree to extend manual checkpoint so that it can flush unlogged
table to shorten the time of subsequent shutdown checkpoint. For example,
we can implement something like "CHECKPOINT [ALL | PERMANENT | UNLOGGED]".
But that's a feature request. We should work on this later, not for now.
