* Fix bug in detecting concurrent page splits in GiST insertHeikki Linnakangas2021-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9eb5607e699, I got the condition on checking for split or deleted page wrong: I used && instead of ||. The comment correctly said "concurrent split _or_ deletion". As a result, GiST insertion could miss a concurrent split, and insert to wrong page. Duncan Sands demonstrated this with a test script that did a lot of concurrent inserts. Backpatch to v12, where this was introduced. REINDEX is required to fix indexes that were affected by this bug.

* Fix GiST buffering build to work when there are included columns.Tom Lane2020-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit did not get the memo about which attribute count to use. This could lead to a crash if there were included columns and buffering build was chosen. (Because there are random page-split decisions elsewhere in GiST index build, the crashes are not entirely deterministic.) Back-patch to v12 where GiST gained support for included columns.

* Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v13.Tom Lane2020-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway. Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get indented.
* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.

* Implement operator class parametersAlexander Korotkov2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

* Delete empty pages in each pass during GIST VACUUM.Amit Kapila2020-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, we use to postpone deleting empty pages till the second stage of vacuum to amortize the cost of scanning internal pages. However, that can sometimes (say vacuum is canceled or errored between first and second stage) delay the pages to be recycled. Another thing is that to facilitate deleting empty pages in the second stage, we need to share the information about internal and empty pages between different stages of vacuum. It will be quite tricky to share this information via DSM which is required for the upcoming parallel vacuum patch. Also, it will bring the logic to reclaim deleted pages closer to nbtree where we delete empty pages in each pass. Overall, the advantages of deleting empty pages in each pass outweigh the advantages of postponing the same.

* Fix yet another crash in page split during GiST index creation.Heikki Linnakangas2019-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a7ee7c8513 fixed a bug in GiST page split during index creation, where we failed to re-find the position of a downlink after the page containing it was split. However, that fix was incomplete; the other call to gistinserttuples() in the same function needs to also clear 'downlinkoffnum'. Fixes bug #16134 reported by Alexander Lakhin, for real this time.

* Fix crash when a page was split during GiST index creation.Heikki Linnakangas2019-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was similar to the one that was fixed in commit 22251686f0. When we split page X and insert the downlink for the new page, the parent page might also need to be split. When that happens, the downlink offset number we remembered for X is no longer valid. We correctly called gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it, but gistFindCorrectParent() doesn't do anything if the LSN of the page hasn't changed, and we stopped updating LSNs during index build in commit 9155580fd5. The buggy codepath was taken if the page was split into three or more pages, and inserting the downlink caused the parent page to split. To fix, explicitly mark the downlink offset number as invalid, to force gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it. Fixes bug #16134 reported by Alexander Lakhin, reported again as #16162 by Andreas Kunert. Thanks to Jeff Janes, Tom Lane and Tomas Vondra for debugging.

Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

* Avoid using lcons and list_delete_first where it's easy to do so.Tom Lane2019-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, lcons was about the same speed as lappend, but with the new List implementation, that's not so; with a long List, data movement imposes an O(N) cost on lcons and list_delete_first, but not lappend. Hence, invent list_delete_last with semantics parallel to list_delete_first (but O(1) cost), and change various places to use lappend and list_delete_last where this can be done without much violence to the code logic. There are quite a few places that construct result lists using lcons not lappend. Some have semantic rationales for that; I added comments about it to a couple that didn't have them already. In many such places though, I think the coding is that way only because back in the dark ages lcons was faster than lappend. Hence, switch to lappend where this can be done without causing semantic changes. In ExecInitExprRec(), this results in aggregates and window functions that are in the same plan node being executed in a different order than before. Generally, the executions of such functions ought to be independent of each other, so this shouldn't result in visibly different query results. But if you push it, as one regression test case does, you can show that the order is different. The new order seems saner; it's closer to the order of the functions in the query text. And we never documented or promised anything about this, anyway. Also, in gistfinishsplit(), don't bother building a reverse-order list; it's easy now to iterate backwards through the original list. It'd be possible to go further towards removing uses of lcons and list_delete_first, but it'd require more extensive logic changes, and I'm not convinced it's worth it. Most of the remaining uses deal with queues that probably never get long enough to be worth sweating over. (Actually, I doubt that any of the changes in this patch will have measurable performance effects either. But better to have good examples than bad ones in the code base.)

* Detect internal GiST page splits correctly during index build.Heikki Linnakangas2019-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we descend the GiST tree during insertion, we modify any downlinks on the way down to include the new tuple we're about to insert (if they don't cover it already). Modifying an existing downlink might cause an internal page to split, if the new downlink tuple is larger than the old one. If that happens, we need to back up to the parent and re-choose a page to insert to. We used to detect that situation, thanks to the NSN-LSN interlock normally used to detect concurrent page splits, but that got broken by commit 9155580fd5. With that commit, we now use a dummy constant LSN value for every page during index build, so the LSN-NSN interlock no longer works. I thought that was OK because there can't be any other backends modifying the index during index build, but missed that the insertion itself can modify the page we're inserting to. The consequence was that we would sometimes insert the new tuple to an incorrect page, one whose downlink doesn't cover the new tuple. To fix, add a flag to the stack that keeps track of the state while descending tree, to indicate that a page was split, and that we need to retry the descend from the parent. Thomas Munro first reported that the contrib/intarray regression test was failing occasionally on the buildfarm after commit 9155580fd5. The failure was intermittent, because the gistchoose() function is not deterministic, and would only occasionally create the right circumstances for this bug to cause the failure. Patch by Anastasia Lubennikova, with some changes by me to make it work correctly also when the internal page split also causes the "grandparent" to be split.

* Convert gist to compute page level xid horizon on primary.Andres Freund2019-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to parallel development, gist added the missing conflict information in c952eae52a3, while 558a9165e08 moved that computation to the primary for the index types that already had it. Thus adapt gist to also compute on the primary, using index_compute_xid_horizon_for_tuples() instead of its own copy of the logic. This also adds pg_waldump support for XLOG_GIST_DELETE records, which previously was not properly present. Bumps WAL version.

* Generate less WAL during GiST, GIN and SP-GiST index build.Heikki Linnakangas2019-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of WAL-logging every modification during the build separately, first build the index without any WAL-logging, and make a separate pass through the index at the end, to write all pages to the WAL. This significantly reduces the amount of WAL generated, and is usually also faster, despite the extra I/O needed for the extra scan through the index. WAL generated this way is also faster to replay. For GiST, the LSN-NSN interlock makes this a little tricky. All pages must be marked with a valid (i.e. non-zero) LSN, so that the parent-child LSN-NSN interlock works correctly. We now use magic value 1 for that during index build. Change the fake LSN counter to begin from 1000, so that 1 is safely smaller than any real or fake LSN. 2 would've been enough for our purposes, but let's reserve a bigger range, in case we need more special values in the future.

* Report progress of CREATE INDEX operationsAlvaro Herrera2019-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the progress reporting infrastructure added by c16dc1aca5e0, adding support for CREATE INDEX and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. There are two pieces to this: one is index-AM-agnostic, and the other is AM-specific. The latter is fairly elaborate for btrees, including reportage for parallel index builds and the separate phases that btree index creation uses; other index AMs, which are much simpler in their building procedures, have simplistic reporting only, but that seems sufficient, at least for non-concurrent builds. The index-AM-agnostic part is fairly complete, providing insight into the CONCURRENTLY wait phases as well as block-based progress during the index validation table scan. (The index validation index scan requires patching each AM, which has not been included here.)

* tableam: Support for an index build's initial table scan(s).Andres Freund2019-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | To support building indexes over tables of different AMs, the scans to do so need to be routed through the table AM. While moving a fair amount of code, nearly all the changes are just moving code to below a callback. Currently the range based interface wouldn't make much sense for non block based table AMs. But that seems aceptable for now.

* Delete empty pages during GiST VACUUM.Heikki Linnakangas2019-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To do this, we scan GiST two times. In the first pass we make note of empty leaf pages and internal pages. At second pass we scan through internal pages, looking for downlinks to the empty pages. Deleting internal pages is still not supported, like in nbtree, the last child of an internal page is never deleted. That means that if you have a workload where new keys are always inserted to different area than where old keys are removed, the index will still grow without bound. But the rate of growth will be an order of magnitude slower than before. Author: Andrey Borodin Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/B1E4DF12-6CD3-4706-BDBD-BF3283328F60@yandex-team.ru
* tableam: Add and use scan APIs.Andres Freund2019-03-11

Specifically: 1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from HeapScanDesc. The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been replaced with a table_ version. There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on, it's still used widely to access catalog tables. This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan, scan_getnextslot callbacks. 2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize} callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs. As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented, block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate, intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc. 3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap). The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin, reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if appropriate. Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext calls and working directly with HeapTuples). Index scans now store the result of a search in IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner. To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further callbacks have been introduced: a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign tables, etc. While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit also would have been needed to be adapted for table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile. b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a slot (which in heap's case internally has that information). Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed: I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with slots. The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

* Support for INCLUDE attributes in GiST indexesAlexander Korotkov2019-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to B-tree, GiST index access method gets support of INCLUDE attributes. These attributes aren't used for tree navigation and aren't present in non-leaf pages. But they are present in leaf pages and can be fetched during index-only scan. The point of having INCLUDE attributes in GiST indexes is slightly different from the point of having them in B-tree. The main point of INCLUDE attributes in B-tree is to define UNIQUE constraint over part of attributes enabled for index-only scan. In GiST the main point of INCLUDE attributes is to use index-only scan for attributes, whose data types don't have GiST opclasses.
