* Fix possible crash due to incorrect allocation context.Robert Haas2016-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit af33039317ddc4a0e38a02e2255c2bf453115fd2 aimed to reduce leakage from tqueue.c, which is good. Unfortunately, by changing the memory context in which all of gather_readnext() executes, it also changed the context in which ExecShutdownGatherWorkers executes, which is not good, because that function eventually causes a call to ExecParallelRetrieveInstrumentation, which proceeds to allocate planstate->worker_instrument in a short-lived context, causing a crash. Rushabh Lathia, reviewed by Amit Kapila and by me.
* Avoid invalidating all foreign-join cached plans when user mappings change.Tom Lane2016-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must not push down a foreign join when the foreign tables involved should be accessed under different user mappings. Previously we tried to enforce that rule literally during planning, but that meant that the resulting plans were dependent on the current contents of the pg_user_mapping catalog, and we had to blow away all cached plans containing any remote join when anything at all changed in pg_user_mapping. This could have been improved somewhat, but the fact that a syscache inval callback has very limited info about what changed made it hard to do better within that design. Instead, let's change the planner to not consider user mappings per se, but to allow a foreign join if both RTEs have the same checkAsUser value. If they do, then they necessarily will use the same user mapping at runtime, and we don't need to know specifically which one that is. Post-plan-time changes in pg_user_mapping no longer require any plan invalidation. This rule does give up some optimization ability, to wit where two foreign table references come from views with different owners or one's from a view and one's directly in the query, but nonetheless the same user mapping would have applied. We'll sacrifice the first case, but to not regress more than we have to in the second case, allow a foreign join involving both zero and nonzero checkAsUser values if the nonzero one is the same as the prevailing effective userID. In that case, mark the plan as only runnable by that userID. The plancache code already had a notion of plans being userID-specific, in order to support RLS. It was a little confused though, in particular lacking clarity of thought as to whether it was the rewritten query or just the finished plan that's dependent on the userID. Rearrange that code so that it's clearer what depends on which, and so that the same logic applies to both RLS-injected role dependency and foreign-join-injected role dependency. Note that this patch doesn't remove the other issue mentioned in the original complaint, which is that while we'll reliably stop using a foreign join if it's disallowed in a new context, we might fail to start using a foreign join if it's now allowed, but we previously created a generic cached plan that didn't use one. It was agreed that the chance of winning that way was not high enough to justify the much larger number of plan invalidations that would have to occur if we tried to cause it to happen. In passing, clean up randomly-varying spelling of EXPLAIN commands in postgres_fdw.sql, and fix a COSTS ON example that had been allowed to leak into the committed tests. This reverts most of commits fbe5a3fb7 and 5d4171d1c, which were the previous attempt at ensuring we wouldn't push down foreign joins that span permissions contexts.

* pgindent run for 9.6Robert Haas2016-06-09

* Use mul_size when multiplying by the number of parallel workers.Robert Haas2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | That way, if the result overflows size_t, you'll get an error instead of undefined behavior, which seems like a plus. This also has the effect of casting the number of workers from int to Size, which is better because it's harder to overflow int than size_t. Dilip Kumar reported this issue and provided a patch upon which this patch is based, but his version did use mul_size.
* Tweak a few more things in preparation for upcoming pgindent run.Robert Haas2016-05-03
| | | | | | | | These adjustments adjust code and comments in minor ways to prevent pgindent from mangling them. Among other things, I tried to avoid situations where pgindent would emit "a +b" instead of "a + b", and I tried to avoid having it break up inline comments across multiple lines.
* Clean up a few parallelism-related things that pgindent wants to mangle.Robert Haas2016-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In nodeFuncs.c, pgindent wants to introduce spurious indentation into the definitions of planstate_tree_walker and planstate_walk_subplans. Fix that by spreading the definition out across several lines, similar to what is already done for other walker functions in that file. In execParallel.c, in the definition of SharedExecutorInstrumentation, pgindent wants to insert more whitespace between the type name and the member name. That causes it to mangle comments later on the line. Fix by moving the comments out of line. Now that we have a bit more room, add some more details that may be useful to the next person reading this code.

* Minor optimizations based on ParallelContext having nworkers_launched.Robert Haas2016-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we didn't have nworkers_launched, so code that used parallel contexts had to be preprared for the possibility that not all of the workers requested actually got launched. But now we can count on knowing the number of workers that were successfully launched, which can shave off a few cycles and simplify some code slightly. Amit Kapila, reviewed by Haribabu Kommi, per a suggestion from Peter Geoghegan.
* Allow parallel custom and foreign scans.Robert Haas2016-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | This patch doesn't put the new infrastructure to use anywhere, and indeed it's not clear how it could ever be used for something like postgres_fdw which has to send an SQL query and wait for a reply, but there might be FDWs or custom scan providers that are CPU-bound, so let's give them a way to join club parallel. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.
* Only try to push down foreign joins if the user mapping OIDs match.Robert Haas2016-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the foreign join pushdown infrastructure left the question of security entirely up to individual FDWs, but it would be easy for a foreign data wrapper to inadvertently open up subtle security holes that way. So, make it the core code's job to determine which user mapping OID is relevant, and don't attempt join pushdown unless it's the same for all relevant relations. Per a suggestion from Tom Lane. Shigeru Hanada and Ashutosh Bapat, reviewed by Etsuro Fujita and KaiGai Kohei, with some further changes by me.
* Support parallel joins, and make related improvements.Robert Haas2016-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core innovation of this patch is the introduction of the concept of a partial path; that is, a path which if executed in parallel will generate a subset of the output rows in each process. Gathering a partial path produces an ordinary (complete) path. This allows us to generate paths for parallel joins by joining a partial path for one side (which at the baserel level is currently always a Partial Seq Scan) to an ordinary path on the other side. This is subject to various restrictions at present, especially that this strategy seems unlikely to be sensible for merge joins, so only nested loops and hash joins paths are generated. This also allows an Append node to be pushed below a Gather node in the case of a partitioned table. Testing revealed that early versions of this patch made poor decisions in some cases, which turned out to be caused by the fact that the original cost model for Parallel Seq Scan wasn't very good. So this patch tries to make some modest improvements in that area. There is much more to be done in the area of generating good parallel plans in all cases, but this seems like a useful step forward. Patch by me, reviewed by Dilip Kumar and Amit Kapila.

* Allow EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, VERBOSE) to display per-worker statistics.Robert Haas2015-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | The original parallel sequential scan commit included only very limited changes to the EXPLAIN output. Aggregated totals from all workers were displayed, but there was no way to see what each individual worker did or to distinguish the effort made by the workers from the effort made by the leader. Per a gripe by Thom Brown (and maybe others). Patch by me, reviewed by Amit Kapila.
* Avoid aggregating worker instrumentation multiple times.Robert Haas2015-11-18
| | | | Amit Kapila, per design ideas from me.
* Make sequential scans parallel-aware.Robert Haas2015-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition, this path fills in a number of missing bits and pieces in the parallel infrastructure. Paths and plans now have a parallel_aware flag indicating whether whatever parallel-aware logic they have should be engaged. It is believed that we will need this flag for a number of path/plan types, not just sequential scans, which is why the flag is generic rather than part of the SeqScan structures specifically. Also, execParallel.c now gives parallel nodes a chance to initialize their PlanState nodes from the DSM during parallel worker startup. Amit Kapila, with a fair amount of adjustment by me. Review of previous patch versions by Haribabu Kommi and others.
* Update parallel executor support to reuse the same DSM.Robert Haas2015-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b0b0d84b3d663a148022e900ebfc164284a95f55 purported to make it possible to relaunch workers using the same parallel context, but it had an unpleasant race condition: we might reinitialize after the workers have sent their last control message but before they have dettached the DSM, leaving to crashes. Repair by introducing a new ParallelContext operation, ReinitializeParallelDSM. Adjust execParallel.c to use this new support, so that we can rescan a Gather node by relaunching workers but without needing to recreate the DSM. Amit Kapila, with some adjustments by me. Extracted from latest parallel sequential scan patch.
* Add header comments to execParallel.c and nodeGather.c.Robert Haas2015-10-22

* Rewrite interaction of parallel mode with parallel executor support.Robert Haas2015-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, before returning from ExecutorRun, we'd shut down all parallel workers. This was dead wrong if ExecutorRun was called with a non-zero tuple count; it had the effect of truncating the query output. To fix, give ExecutePlan control over whether to enter parallel mode, and have it refuse to do so if the tuple count is non-zero. Rewrite the Gather logic so that it can cope with being called outside parallel mode. Commit 7aea8e4f2daa4b39ca9d1309a0c4aadb0f7ed81b is largely to blame for this problem, though this patch modifies some subsequently-committed code which relied on the guarantees it purported to make.
* Add a Gather executor node.Robert Haas2015-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple stream. It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are unavailable or haven't started up yet. It is intended to work with the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits. It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode is used. In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results. So, a Gather node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan across two processes. Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported, but we might want to add support for that in the future. There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet, so it's not quite time to break out the champagne. But we're getting close. Amit Kapila. Some designs suggestions were provided by me, and I also reviewed the patch. Single-copy mode, documentation, and other minor changes also by me.
* Parallel executor support.Robert Haas2015-09-28
This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs, such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared. Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as needed. Amit Kapila and Robert Haas
