Added in SQL Server version:

2017

Removed in SQL Server version:

N/A

Extended Events latch_class value:

The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 168 in 2017 RTM. After 2017 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.

Other information:

This latch can become a contention point if you have enabled ADR in a database with many concurrent DML operations. In that case, consider whether the potential benefit of ADR for rolling back long-running transactions is worth the performance hit of contention on this latch.
