* Improve Asserts checking relation matching in parallel scans.Tom Lane2024-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | table_beginscan_parallel and index_beginscan_parallel contain Asserts checking that the relation a worker will use in a parallel scan is the same one the leader intended. However, they were checking for relation OID match, which was not strong enough to detect the mismatch problem fixed in 126ec0bc7. What would be strong enough is to compare relfilenodes instead. Arguably, that's a saner definition anyway, since a scan surely operates on a physical relation not a logical one. Hence, store and compare RelFileLocators not relation OIDs. Also ensure that index_beginscan_parallel checks the index identity not just the table identity. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2127254.1726789524@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Add missing index_insert_cleanup callsTomas Vondra2024-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The optimization for inserts into BRIN indexes added by c1ec02be1d79 relies on a cache that needs to be explicitly released after calling index_insert(). The commit however failed to invoke the cleanup in validate_index(), which calls index_insert() indirectly through table_index_validate_scan(). After inspecting index_insert() callers, it seems unique_key_recheck() is missing the call too. Fixed by adding the two missing index_insert_cleanup() calls. The commit does two additional improvements. The aminsertcleanup() signature is modified to have the index as the first argument, to make it more like the other AM callbacks. And the aminsertcleanup() callback is invoked even if the ii_AmCache is NULL, so that it can decide if the cleanup is necessary.

* Enhance nbtree ScalarArrayOp execution.Peter Geoghegan2024-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9e8da0f7 taught nbtree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively. This works by pushing down the full context (the array keys) to the nbtree index AM, enabling it to execute multiple primitive index scans that the planner treats as one continuous index scan/index path. This earlier enhancement enabled nbtree ScalarArrayOp index-only scans. It also allowed scans with ScalarArrayOp quals to return ordered results (with some notable restrictions, described further down). Take this general approach a lot further: teach nbtree SAOP index scans to decide how to execute ScalarArrayOp scans (when and where to start the next primitive index scan) based on physical index characteristics. This can be far more efficient. All SAOP scans will now reliably avoid duplicative leaf page accesses (just like any other nbtree index scan). SAOP scans whose array keys are naturally clustered together now require far fewer index descents, since we'll reliably avoid starting a new primitive scan just to get to a later offset from the same leaf page. The scan's arrays now advance using binary searches for the array element that best matches the next tuple's attribute value. Required scan key arrays (i.e. arrays from scan keys that can terminate the scan) ratchet forward in lockstep with the index scan. Non-required arrays (i.e. arrays from scan keys that can only exclude non-matching tuples) "advance" without the process ever rolling over to a higher-order array. Naturally, only required SAOP scan keys trigger skipping over leaf pages (non-required arrays cannot safely end or start primitive index scans). Consequently, even index scans of a composite index with a high-order inequality scan key (which we'll mark required) and a low-order SAOP scan key (which we won't mark required) now avoid repeating leaf page accesses -- that benefit isn't limited to simpler equality-only cases. In general, all nbtree index scans now output tuples as if they were one continuous index scan -- even scans that mix a high-order inequality with lower-order SAOP equalities reliably output tuples in index order. This allows us to remove a couple of special cases that were applied when building index paths with SAOP clauses during planning. Bugfix commit 807a40c5 taught the planner to avoid generating unsafe path keys: path keys on a multicolumn index path, with a SAOP clause on any attribute beyond the first/most significant attribute. These cases are now all safe, so we go back to generating path keys without regard for the presence of SAOP clauses (just like with any other clause type). Affected queries can now exploit scan output order in all the usual ways (e.g., certain "ORDER BY ... LIMIT n" queries can now terminate early). Also undo changes from follow-up bugfix commit a4523c5a, which taught the planner to produce alternative index paths, with path keys, but without low-order SAOP index quals (filter quals were used instead). We'll no longer generate these alternative paths, since they can no longer offer any meaningful advantages over standard index qual paths. Affected queries thereby avoid all of the disadvantages that come from using filter quals within index scan nodes. They can avoid extra heap page accesses from using filter quals to exclude non-matching tuples (index quals will never have that problem). They can also skip over irrelevant sections of the index in more cases (though only when nbtree determines that starting another primitive scan actually makes sense). There is a theoretical risk that removing restrictions on SAOP index paths from the planner will break compatibility with amcanorder-based index AMs maintained as extensions. Such an index AM could have the same limitations around ordered SAOP scans as nbtree had up until now. Adding a pro forma incompatibility item about the issue to the Postgres 17 release notes seems like a good idea.

* Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane2024-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as well use a translatable message if we have one. Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Check if ii_AmCache is NULL in aminsertcleanupTomas Vondra2023-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug introduced by c1ec02be1d79. It may happen that the executor opens indexes on the result relation, but no rows end up being inserted. Then the index_insert_cleanup still gets executed, but passes down NULL to the AM callback. The AM callback may not expect this, as is the case of brininsertcleanup, leading to a crash. Fixed by only calling the cleanup callback if (ii_AmCache != NULL). This way the AM can simply assume to only see a valid cache.

* Simplify state managed by VACUUM.Peter Geoghegan2021-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reorganize the state struct used by VACUUM -- group related items together to make it easier to understand. Also stop relying on stack variables inside lazy_scan_heap() -- move those into the state struct instead. Doing things this way simplifies large groups of related functions whose function signatures had a lot of unnecessary redundancy. Switch over to using int64 for the struct fields used to count things that are reported to the user via log_autovacuum and VACUUM VERBOSE output. We were using double, but that doesn't seem to have any advantages. Using int64 makes it possible to add assertions that verify that the first pass over the heap (pruning) encounters precisely the same number of LP_DEAD items that get deleted from indexes later on, in the second pass over the heap. These assertions will be added in later commits. Finally, adjust the signatures of functions with IndexBulkDeleteResult pointer arguments in cases where there was ambiguity about whether or not the argument relates to a single index or all indexes. Functions now use the idiom that both ambulkdelete() and amvacuumcleanup() have always used (where appropriate): accept a mutable IndexBulkDeleteResult pointer argument, and return a result IndexBulkDeleteResult pointer to caller.

* Pass down "logically unchanged index" hint.Peter Geoghegan2021-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies any of the index's key columns. The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least within index AMs that apply the hint. Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn). This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint just yet.

* snapshot scalability: Don't compute global horizons while building snapshots.Andres Freund2020-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make GetSnapshotData() more scalable, it cannot not look at at each proc's xmin: While snapshot contents do not need to change whenever a read-only transaction commits or a snapshot is released, a proc's xmin is modified in those cases. The frequency of xmin modifications leads to, particularly on higher core count systems, many cache misses inside GetSnapshotData(), despite the data underlying a snapshot not changing. That is the most significant source of GetSnapshotData() scaling poorly on larger systems. Without accessing xmins, GetSnapshotData() cannot calculate accurate horizons / thresholds as it has so far. But we don't really have to: The horizons don't actually change that much between GetSnapshotData() calls. Nor are the horizons actually used every time a snapshot is built. The trick this commit introduces is to delay computation of accurate horizons until there use and using horizon boundaries to determine whether accurate horizons need to be computed. The use of RecentGlobal[Data]Xmin to decide whether a row version could be removed has been replaces with new GlobalVisTest* functions. These use two thresholds to determine whether a row can be pruned: 1) definitely_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs >= definitely_needed are definitely still visible. 2) maybe_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs < maybe_needed can definitely be removed GetSnapshotData() updates definitely_needed to be the xmin of the computed snapshot. When testing whether a row can be removed (with GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid()) and the tested XID falls in between the two (i.e. XID >= maybe_needed && XID < definitely_needed) the boundaries can be recomputed to be more accurate. As it is not cheap to compute accurate boundaries, we limit the number of times that happens in short succession. As the boundaries used by GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() are never reset (with maybe_needed updated by GetSnapshotData()), it is likely that further test can benefit from an earlier computation of accurate horizons. To avoid regressing performance when old_snapshot_threshold is set (as that requires an accurate horizon to be computed), heap_page_prune_opt() doesn't unconditionally call TransactionIdLimitedForOldSnapshots() anymore. Both the computation of the limited horizon, and the triggering of errors (with SetOldSnapshotThresholdTimestamp()) is now only done when necessary to remove tuples. This commit just removes the accesses to PGXACT->xmin from GetSnapshotData(), but other members of PGXACT residing in the same cache line are accessed. Therefore this in itself does not result in a significant improvement. Subsequent commits will take advantage of the fact that GetSnapshotData() now does not need to access xmins anymore. Note: This contains a workaround in heap_page_prune_opt() to keep the snapshot_too_old tests working. While that workaround is ugly, the tests currently are not meaningful, and it seems best to address them separately.

* 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.

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.

* Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

* Further cleanup of client dependencies on src/include/catalog headers.Tom Lane2018-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes (and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h. However, various frontend code was depending on it to get TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for. The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6629.1523294509@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera2018-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Allow index AMs to return either HeapTuple or IndexTuple format during IOS.Tom Lane2017-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, only IndexTuple format was supported for the output data of an index-only scan. This is fine for btree, which is just returning a verbatim index tuple anyway. It's not so fine for SP-GiST, which can return reconstructed data that's much larger than a page. To fix, extend the index AM API so that index-only scan data can be returned in either HeapTuple or IndexTuple format. There's other ways we could have done it, but this way avoids an API break for index AMs that aren't concerned with the issue, and it costs little except a couple more fields in IndexScanDescs. I changed both GiST and SP-GiST to use the HeapTuple method. I'm not very clear on whether GiST can reconstruct data that's too large for an IndexTuple, but that seems possible, and it's not much of a code change to fix. Per a complaint from Vik Fearing.

* Allow index AMs to cache data across aminsert calls within a SQL command.Tom Lane2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls. This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call. (The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache, so there's little to improve there.) For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two. In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated catalog lookups are vastly more expensive. The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert. That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

* Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane2016-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr JelĂ­nek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.
