I was wondering the same thing when I first saw Kris' message. However, iff I understand what JDBC is trying to
achieve,I don't think I would call it "overly". 

@Kris

Is this a problem because JDBC is trying to detect failures as early as possible during a COPY IN?
Or, is it just JDBC's normal MO to always be reading?


Well, I've wanted to do the former (early error detection) with py-postgresql's COPY support, and I imagine getting a
readevent marking completion prior to emitting done/fail could be a snag.
