* Remove HeapBitmapScan's skip_fetch optimizationAndres Freund2025-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The optimization does not take the removal of TIDs by a concurrent vacuum into account. The concurrent vacuum can remove dead TIDs and make pages ALL_VISIBLE while those dead TIDs are referenced in the bitmap. This can lead to a skip_fetch scan returning too many tuples. It likely would be possible to implement this optimization safely, but we don't have the necessary infrastructure in place. Nor is it clear that it's worth building that infrastructure, given how limited the skip_fetch optimization is. In the backbranches we just disable the optimization by always passing need_tuples=true to table_beginscan_bm(). We can't perform API/ABI changes in the backbranches and we want to make the change as minimal as possible.

* Remove table AM callback scan_bitmap_next_blockMelanie Plageman2025-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After pushing the bitmap iterator into table-AM specific code (as part of making bitmap heap scan use the read stream API in 2b73a8cd33b7), scan_bitmap_next_block() no longer returns the current block number. Since scan_bitmap_next_block() isn't returning any relevant information to bitmap table scan code, it makes more sense to get rid of it. Now, bitmap table scan code only calls table_scan_bitmap_next_tuple(), and the heap AM implementation of scan_bitmap_next_block() is a local helper in heapam_handler.c.

* BitmapHeapScan uses the read stream APIMelanie Plageman2025-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make Bitmap Heap Scan use the read stream API instead of invoking ReadBuffer() for each block indicated by the bitmap. The read stream API handles prefetching, so remove all of the explicit prefetching from bitmap heap scan code. Now, heap table AM implements a read stream callback which uses the bitmap iterator to return the next required block to the read stream code. Tomas Vondra conducted extensive regression testing of this feature. Andres Freund, Thomas Munro, and I analyzed regressions and Thomas Munro patched the read stream API.

* Make table_scan_bitmap_next_block() async-friendlyMelanie Plageman2024-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move all responsibility for indicating a block is exhuasted into table_scan_bitmap_next_tuple() and advance the main iterator in heap-specific code. This flow control makes more sense and is a step toward using the read stream API for bitmap heap scans. Previously, table_scan_bitmap_next_block() returned false to indicate table_scan_bitmap_next_tuple() should not be called for the tuples on the page. This happened both when 1) there were no visible tuples on the page and 2) when the block returned by the iterator was past the end of the table. BitmapHeapNext() (generic bitmap table scan code) handled the case when the bitmap was exhausted. It makes more sense for table_scan_bitmap_next_tuple() to return false when there are no visible tuples on the page and table_scan_bitmap_next_block() to return false when the bitmap is exhausted or there are no more blocks in the table. As part of this new design, TBMIterateResults are no longer used as a flow control mechanism in BitmapHeapNext(), so we removed table_scan_bitmap_next_tuple's TBMIterateResult parameter. Note that the prefetch iterator is still saved in the BitmapHeapScanState node and advanced in generic bitmap table scan code. This is because 1) it was not necessary to change the prefetch iterator location to change the flow control in BitmapHeapNext() 2) modifying prefetch iterator management requires several more steps better split over multiple commits and 3) the prefetch iterator will be removed once the read stream API is used.

* BitmapHeapScan: Use correct recheck flag for skip_fetchTomas Vondra2024-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 7c70996ebf0949b142a9, BitmapPrefetch() used the recheck flag for the current block to determine whether or not it should skip prefetching the proposed prefetch block. As explained in the comment, this assumed the index AM will report the same recheck value for the future page as it did for the current page - but there's no guarantee. This only affects prefetching - if the recheck flag changes, we may prefetch blocks unecessarily and not prefetch blocks that will be needed. But we don't need to rely on that assumption - we know the recheck flag for the block we're considering prefetching, so we can use that. The impact is very limited in practice - the opclass would need to assign different recheck flags to different blocks, but none of the built-in opclasses seems to do that.

* BitmapHeapScan: Push skip_fetch optimization into table AMTomas Vondra2024-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7c70996ebf0949b142 introduced an optimization to allow bitmap scans to operate like index-only scans by not fetching a block from the heap if none of the underlying data is needed and the block is marked all visible in the visibility map. With the introduction of table AMs, a FIXME was added to this code indicating that the skip_fetch logic should be pushed into the table AM-specific code, as not all table AMs may use a visibility map in the same way. This commit resolves this FIXME for the current block. The layering violation is still present in BitmapHeapScans's prefetching code, which uses the visibility map to decide whether or not to prefetch a block. However, this can be addressed independently.

* Remove redundant snapshot copying from parallel leader to workersHeikki Linnakangas2024-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parallel query infrastructure copies the leader backend's active snapshot to the worker processes. But BitmapHeapScan node also had bespoken code to pass the snapshot from leader to the worker. That was redundant, so remove it. The removed code was analogous to the snapshot serialization in table_parallelscan_initialize(), but that was the wrong role model. A parallel bitmap heap scan is more like an independent non-parallel bitmap heap scan in each parallel worker as far as the table AM is concerned, because the coordination is done in nodeBitmapHeapscan.c, and the table AM doesn't need to know anything about it. This relies on the assumption that es_snapshot == GetActiveSnapshot(). That's not a new assumption, things would get weird if you used the QueryDesc's snapshot for visibility checks in the scans, but the active snapshot for evaluating quals, for example. This could use some refactoring and cleanup, but for now, just add some assertions.

Higher settings can be converted from the old meaning to the new with: select round(sum(OLD / n::float)) from generate_series(1, OLD) s(n); We might want to consider renaming the GUC before the next release given the change in meaning, but it's not clear that many users had set it very carefully anyway.

* tableam: bitmap table scan.Andres Freund2019-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves bitmap heap scan support to below an optional tableam callback. It's optional as the whole concept of bitmap heapscans is fairly block specific. This basically moves the work previously done in bitgetpage() into the new scan_bitmap_next_block callback, and the direct poking into the buffer done in BitmapHeapNext() into the new scan_bitmap_next_tuple() callback. The abstraction is currently somewhat leaky because nodeBitmapHeapscan.c's prefetching and visibilitymap based logic remains - it's likely that we'll later have to move more into the AM. But it's not trivial to do so without introducing a significant amount of code duplication between the AMs, so that's a project for later. Note that now nodeBitmapHeapscan.c and the associated node types are a bit misnamed. But it's not clear whether renaming wouldn't be a cure worse than the disease. Either way, that'd be best done in a separate commit.

* 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.

* Move remaining code from tqual.[ch] to heapam.h / heapam_visibility.c.Andres Freund2019-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given these routines are heap specific, and that there will be more generic visibility support in via table AM, it makes sense to move the prototypes to heapam.h (routines like HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum will not be exposed in a generic fashion, because they are too storage specific). Similarly, the code in tqual.c is specific to heap, so moving it into access/heap/ makes sense. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180703070645.wchpu5muyto5n647@alap3.anarazel.de
* 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.

* Make TupleTableSlots extensible, finish split of existing slot type.Andres Freund2018-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap, minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table access methods. To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps. I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches. There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems sufficient. There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

* Introduce notion of different types of slots (without implementing them).Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant conversion overhead. Different access methods will require different data to store tuples efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots. The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that. Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot. But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its subplans. Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps(). The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(), left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node, that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState. This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still use the same backing implementation. While this already partially invalidates the big comment in tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

* Don't require return slots for nodes without projection.Andres Freund2018-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a lot of nodes the return slot is not required. That can either be because the node doesn't do any projection (say an Append node), or because the node does perform projections but the projection is optimized away because the projection would yield an identical row. Slots aren't that small, especially for wide rows, so it's worthwhile to avoid creating them. It's not possible to just skip creating the slot - it's currently used to determine the tuple descriptor returned by ExecGetResultType(). So separate the determination of the result type from the slot creation. The work previously done internally ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() can now also be done separately with ExecInitResultTypeTL() and ExecInitResultSlot(). That way nodes that aren't guaranteed to need a result slot, can use ExecInitResultTypeTL() to determine the result type of the node, and ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo() (via ExecConditionalAssignProjectionInfo()) determines that a result slot is needed, it is created with ExecInitResultSlot(). Besides the advantage of avoiding to create slots that then are unused, this is necessary preparation for later patches around tuple table slot abstraction. In particular separating the return descriptor and slot is a prerequisite to allow JITing of tuple deforming with knowledge of the underlying tuple format, and to avoid unnecessarily creating JITed tuple deforming for virtual slots. This commit removes a redundant argument from ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL(). While this commit touches a lot of the relevant lines anyway, it'd normally still not worthwhile to cause breakage, except that aforementioned later commits will touch *all* ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() callers anyway (but fits worse thematically).

* Restore sane locking behavior during parallel query.Tom Lane2018-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9a3cebeaa changed things so that parallel workers didn't obtain any lock of their own on tables they access. That was clearly a bad idea, but I'd mistakenly supposed that it was the intended end result of the series of patches for simplifying the executor's lock management. Undo that change in relation_open(), and adjust ExecOpenScanRelation() so that it gets the correct lock if inside a parallel worker. In passing, clean up some more obsolete comments about when locks are acquired. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/468c85d9-540e-66a2-1dde-fec2b741e688@lab.ntt.co.jp
* Centralize executor's opening/closing of Relations for rangetable entries.Tom Lane2018-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create an array estate->es_relations[] paralleling the es_range_table, and store references to Relations (relcache entries) there, so that any given RT entry is opened and closed just once per executor run. Scan nodes typically still call ExecOpenScanRelation, but ExecCloseScanRelation is no more; relation closing is now done centrally in ExecEndPlan. This is slightly more complex than one would expect because of the interactions with relcache references held in ResultRelInfo nodes. The general convention is now that ResultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc does not represent a separate relcache reference and so does not need to be explicitly closed; but there is an exception for ResultRelInfos in the es_trig_target_relations list, which are manufactured by ExecGetTriggerResultRel and have to be cleaned up by ExecCleanUpTriggerState. (That much was true all along, but these ResultRelInfos are now more different from others than they used to be.) To allow the partition pruning logic to make use of es_relations[] rather than having its own relcache references, adjust PartitionedRelPruneInfo to store an RT index rather than a relation OID.

* Split ExecStoreTuple into ExecStoreHeapTuple and ExecStoreBufferHeapTuple.Andres Freund2018-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming changes introduce further types of tuple table slots, in preparation of making table storage pluggable. New storage methods will have different representation of tuples, therefore the slot accessor should refer explicitly to heap tuples. Instead of just renaming the functions, split it into one function that accepts heap tuples not residing in buffers, and one accepting ones in buffers. Previously one function was used for both, but that was a bit awkward already, and splitting will allow us to represent slot types for tuples in buffers and normal memory separately. This is split out from the patch introducing abstract slots, as this largely consists out of mechanical changes.

* Allow tupleslots to have a fixed tupledesc, use in executor nodes.Andres Freund2018-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reason for doing so is that it will allow expression evaluation to optimize based on the underlying tupledesc. In particular it will allow to JIT tuple deforming together with the expression itself. For that expression initialization needs to be moved after the relevant slots are initialized - mostly unproblematic, except in the case of nodeWorktablescan.c. After doing so there's no need for ExecAssignResultType() and ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL() anymore, as all former callers have been converted to create a slot with a fixed descriptor. When creating a slot with a fixed descriptor, tts_values/isnull can be allocated together with the main slot, reducing allocation overhead and increasing cache density a bit.

* Introduce ExecQualAndReset() helper.Andres Freund2018-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a common task to evaluate a qual and reset the corresponding expression context. Currently that requires storing the result of the qual eval, resetting the context, and then reacting on the result. As that's awkward several places only reset the context next time through a node. That's not great, so introduce a helper that evaluates and resets. It's a bit ugly that it currently uses MemoryContextReset() instead of ResetExprContext(), but that seems easier than reordering all of executor.h.
