We have, for a very long time, allowed the same subplan (same member of the
PlannedStmt.subplans list) to be referenced by more than one SubPlan node;
this avoids problems for cases such as subplans within an IndexScan's
indxqual and indxqualorig fields. However, EXPLAIN had not gotten the memo
and would print each reference as though it were an independent identical
subplan. To fix, track plan_ids of subplans we've printed and don't print
the same plan_id twice. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
BTW: the particular case of IndexScan didn't cause visible duplication
in a plain EXPLAIN, only EXPLAIN ANALYZE, because in the former case we
short-circuit executor startup before the indxqual field is processed by
ExecInitExpr. That seems like it could easily lead to other EXPLAIN
problems in future, but it's not clear how to avoid it without breaking
the "EXPLAIN a plan using hypothetical indexes" use-case. For now I've
left that issue alone.
Although this is a longstanding bug, it's purely cosmetic (no great harm
is done by the repeat printout) and we haven't had field complaints before.
So I'm hesitant to back-patch it, especially since there is some small risk
of ABI problems due to the need to add a new field to ExplainState.
In passing, rearrange order of fields in ExplainState to be less random,
and update some obsolete comments about when/where to initialize them.

Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, conninfo is better as the column name
because it's more commonly used in PostgreSQL.

In the previous design, the GetForeignUpperPaths FDW callback hook was
called before we got around to labeling upper relations with the proper
consider_parallel flag; this meant that any upper paths created by an FDW
would be marked not-parallel-safe. While that's probably just as well
right now, we aren't going to want it to be true forever. Hence, abandon
the idea that FDWs should be allowed to inject upper paths before the core
code has gotten around to creating the relevant upper relation. (Well,
actually they still can, but it's on their own heads how well it works.)
Instead, adopt the same API already designed for create_upper_paths_hook:
we call GetForeignUpperPaths after each upperrel has been created and
populated with the paths the core planner knows how to make.

Commit 3fc6e2d7f5b652b417fa6937c34de2438d60fa9f introduced new "upper"
RelOptInfo structures but didn't set consider_parallel for them
correctly, a point I completely missed when reviewing it. Later,
commit e06a38965b3bcdaa881e7e06892d4d8ab6c2c980 made the situation
worse by doing it incorrectly for the grouping relation. Try to
straighten all of that out. Along the way, get rid of the annoying
wholePlanParallelSafe flag, which was only necessarily because of
the fact that upper planning stages didn't use paths at the time
that code was written.
The most important immediate impact of these changes is that
force_parallel_mode will provide useful test coverage in quite a few
more scenarios than it did previously, but it's also necessary
preparation for fixing some problems related to subqueries.
Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane.

Previously, workers sent data to the leader using the client encoding.
That mostly worked, but the leader the converted the data back to the
server encoding. Since not all encoding conversions are reversible,
that could provoke failures. Fix by using the database encoding for
all communication between worker and leader.
Also, while temporary changes to GUC settings, as from the SET clause
of a function, are in general OK for parallel query, changing
client_encoding this way inside of a parallel worker is not OK.
Previously, that would have confused the leader; with these changes,
it would not confuse the leader, but it wouldn't do anything either.
So refuse such changes in parallel workers.
Also, the previous code naively assumed that when it received a
NotifyResonse from the worker, it could pass that directly back to the
user. But now that worker-to-leader communication always uses the
database encoding, that's clearly no longer correct - though,
actually, the old way was always broken for V2 clients. So
disassemble and reconstitute the message instead.

In non-text output formats, parallelized aggregates were reporting
"Partial" or "Finalize" as a field named "Operation", which might be all
right in the absence of any context --- but other plan node types use that
field to report SQL-visible semantics, such as Select/Insert/Update/Delete.
So that naming choice didn't seem good to me. I changed it to "Partial
Mode".
Also, the field did not appear at all for a non-parallelized Agg plan node,
which is contrary to expectation in non-text formats. We're notionally
producing objects that conform to a schema, so the set of fields for a
given node type and EXPLAIN mode should be well-defined. I set it up to
fill in "Simple" in such cases.
Other fields that were added for parallel query, namely "Parallel Aware"
and Gather's "Single Copy", had not gotten the word on that point either.
Make them appear always in non-text output.
Also, the latter two fields were nominally producing boolean output, but
were getting it wrong, because bool values shouldn't be quoted in JSON or
YAML. Somehow we'd not needed an ExplainPropertyBool formatting subroutine
before 9.6; but now we do, so invent it.

Commit b1a9bad9e744 introduced a stats view to provide insight into the
running WAL receiver, but neglected to include the connection string in
it, as reported by Michaël Paquier. This commit fixes that omission.
(Any security-sensitive information is not disclosed).
While at it, close the mild security hole that we were exposing the
password in the connection string in shared memory. This isn't
user-accessible, but it still looks like a good idea to avoid having the
cleartext password in memory.

Previously, these commands always planned the given query and went through
executor startup before deciding not to actually run the query if WITH NO
DATA is specified. This behavior is problematic for pg_dump because it
may cause errors to be raised that we would rather not see before a
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command is issued. See for example bug #13907
from Marian Krucina. This change is not sufficient to fix that particular
bug, because we also need to tweak pg_dump to issue the REFRESH later,
but it's a necessary step on the way.
A user-visible side effect of doing things this way is that the returned
command tag for WITH NO DATA cases will now be "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW"
or "CREATE TABLE AS", not "SELECT 0". We could preserve the old behavior
but it would take more code, and arguably that was just an implementation
artifact not intended behavior anyhow.
In 9.5 and HEAD, also get rid of the static variable CreateAsReladdr, which
was trouble waiting to happen; there is not any prohibition on nested
CREATE commands.
Back-patch to 9.3 where CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW was introduced.

<-> operator now have higher predecence than & (AND) operator. This change
was motivated by unexpected difference of similar queries:
'a & b <-> c'::tsquery and 'b <-> c & a'. Before first query means
(a & b) <-> c and second one - '(b <-> c) & a', now phrase operator evaluates
first.

If there is no positional information of lexemes then phrase operator will not
fallback to AND operator. This change makes needing to modify TS_execute()
interface, because somewhere (in indexes, for example) positional information
is unaccesible and in this cases we need to force fallback to AND.

It's rather silly to make a separate pass over the tlist + HAVING qual,
and a separate set of visits to the syscache, when get_agg_clause_costs
already has all the required information in hand. This nets out as less
code as well as fewer cycles.

The original coding had three separate booleans representing partial
aggregation behavior, which was confusing, unreadable, and error-prone,
not least because the booleans weren't always listed in the same order.
It was also inadequate for the allegedly-desirable future extension to
support intermediate partial aggregation, because we'd need separate
markers for serialization and deserialization in such a case.
Merge these bools into an enum "AggSplit" to provide symbolic names for
the supported operating modes (and document what those are). By assigning
the values of the enum constants carefully, we can treat AggSplit values
as options bitmasks so that tests of what to do aren't noticeably more
expensive than before.
While at it, get rid of Aggref.aggoutputtype. That's not needed since
commit 59a3795c2 got rid of setrefs.c's special-purpose Aggref comparison
code, and it likewise seemed more confusing than helpful.
Assorted comment cleanup as well (there's still more that I want to do
in that line).
catversion bump for change in Aggref node contents. Should be the last
one for partial-aggregation changes.

Commit e06a38965's original coding for constructing the execution-time
expression tree for a combining aggregate was rather messy, involving
duplicating quite a lot of code in setrefs.c so that it could inject
a nonstandard matching rule for Aggrefs. Get rid of that in favor of
explicitly constructing a combining Aggref with a partial Aggref as input,
then allowing setref's normal matching logic to match the partial Aggref
to the output of the lower plan node and hence replace it with a Var.
In passing, rename and redocument make_partialgroup_input_target to have
some connection to what it actually does.

After pg_upgrade, it is possible that some tuples' Xmax have multixacts
corresponding to the old installation; such multixacts cannot have
running members anymore. In many code sites we already know not to read
them and clobber them silently, but at least when VACUUM tries to freeze
a multixact or determine whether one needs freezing, there's an attempt
to resolve it to its member transactions by calling GetMultiXactIdMembers,
and if the multixact value is "in the future" with regards to the
current valid multixact range, an error like this is raised:
ERROR: MultiXactId 123 has not been created yet -- apparent wraparound
and vacuuming fails. Per discussion with Andrew Gierth, it is completely
bogus to try to resolve multixacts coming from before a pg_upgrade,
regardless of where they stand with regards to the current valid
multixact range.
It's possible to get from under this problem by doing SELECT FOR UPDATE
of the problem tuples, but if tables are large, this is slow and
tedious, so a more thorough solution is desirable.
To fix, we realize that multixacts in xmax created in 9.2 and previous
have a specific bit pattern that is never used in 9.3 and later (we
already knew this, per comments and infomask tests sprinkled in various
places, but we weren't leveraging this knowledge appropriately).
Whenever the infomask of the tuple matches that bit pattern, we just
ignore the multixact completely as if Xmax wasn't set; or, in the case
of tuple freezing, we act as if an unwanted value is set and clobber it
without decoding. This guarantees that no errors will be raised, and
that the values will be progressively removed until all tables are
clean. Most callers of GetMultiXactIdMembers are patched to recognize
directly that the value is a removable "empty" multixact and avoid
calling GetMultiXactIdMembers altogether.
To avoid changing the signature of GetMultiXactIdMembers() in back
branches, we keep the "allow_old" boolean flag but rename it to
"from_pgupgrade"; if the flag is true, we always return an empty set
instead of looking up the multixact. (I suppose we could remove the
argument in the master branch, but I chose not to do so in this commit).
This was broken all along, but the error-facing message appeared first
because of commit 8e9a16ab8f7f and was partially fixed in a25c2b7c4db3.
This fix, backpatched all the way back to 9.3, goes approximately in the
same direction as a25c2b7c4db3 but should cover all cases.

When the index is predicted to need more than NBuffers buckets,
CREATE INDEX attempts to sort the index entries by hash key before
insertion, so as to reduce thrashing. This code path got broken by
commit 9f03ca915196dfc8, which overlooked that _hash_form_tuple() is not
just an alias for index_form_tuple(). The index got built anyway, but
with garbage data, so that searches for pre-existing tuples always
failed. Fix by refactoring to separate construction of the indexable
data from calling index_form_tuple().
Per bug #14210 from Daniel Newman. Back-patch to 9.5 where the
bug was introduced.

The original specification for this called for the deserialization function
to have signature "deserialize(serialtype) returns transtype", which is a
security violation if transtype is INTERNAL (which it always would be in
practice) and serialtype is not (which ditto). The patch blithely overrode
the opr_sanity check for that, which was sloppy-enough work in itself,
but the indisputable reason this cannot be allowed to stand is that CREATE
FUNCTION will reject such a signature and thus it'd be impossible for
extensions to create parallelizable aggregates.
The minimum fix to make the signature type-safe is to add a second, dummy
argument of type INTERNAL. But to lock it down a bit more and make misuse
of INTERNAL-accepting functions less likely, let's get rid of the ability
to specify a "serialtype" for an aggregate and just say that the only
useful serialtype is BYTEA --- which, in practice, is the only interesting
value anyway, due to the usefulness of the send/recv infrastructure for
this purpose. That means we only have to allow "serialize(internal)
returns bytea" and "deserialize(bytea, internal) returns internal" as
the signatures for these support functions.
In passing fix bogus signature of int4_avg_combine, which I found thanks
to adding an opr_sanity check on combinefunc signatures.

The original upper-planner-pathification design (commit 3fc6e2d7f5b652b4)
assumed that we could always determine during Path formation whether or not
we would need a Result plan node to perform projection of a targetlist.
That turns out not to work very well, though, because createplan.c still
has some responsibilities for choosing the specific target list associated
with sorting/grouping nodes (in particular it might choose to add resjunk
columns for sorting). We might not ever refactor that --- doing so would
push more work into Path formation, which isn't attractive --- and we
certainly won't do so for 9.6. So, while create_projection_path and
apply_projection_to_path can tell for sure what will happen if the subpath
is projection-capable, they can't tell for sure when it isn't. This is at
least a latent bug in apply_projection_to_path, which might think it can
apply a target to a non-projecting node when the node will end up computing
something different.
Also, I'd tied the creation of a ProjectionPath node to whether or not a
Result is needed, but it turns out that we sometimes need a ProjectionPath
node anyway to avoid modifying a possibly-shared subpath node. Callers had
to use create_projection_path for such cases, and we added code to them
that knew about the potential omission of a Result node and attempted to
adjust the cost estimates for that. That was uncertainly correct and
definitely ugly/unmaintainable.
To fix, have create_projection_path explicitly check whether a Result
is needed and adjust its cost estimate accordingly, though it creates
a ProjectionPath in either case. apply_projection_to_path is now mostly
just an optimized version that can avoid creating an extra Path node when
the input is known to not be shared with any other live path. (There
is one case that create_projection_path doesn't handle, which is pushing
parallel-safe expressions below a Gather node. We could make it do that
by duplicating the GatherPath, but there seems no need as yet.)
create_projection_plan still has to recheck the tlist-match condition,
which means that if the matching situation does get changed by createplan.c
then we'll have made a slightly incorrect cost estimate. But there seems
no help for that in the near term, and I doubt it occurs often enough,
let alone would change planning decisions often enough, to be worth
stressing about.
I added a "dummypp" field to ProjectionPath to track whether
create_projection_path thinks a Result is needed. This is not really
necessary as-committed because create_projection_plan doesn't look at the
flag; but it seems like a good idea to remember what we thought when
forming the cost estimate, if only for debugging purposes.
In passing, get rid of the target_parallel parameter added to
apply_projection_to_path by commit 54f5c5150. I don't think that's a good
idea because it involves callers in what should be an internal decision,
and opens us up to missing optimization opportunities if callers think they
don't need to provide a valid flag, as most don't. For the moment, this
just costs us an extra has_parallel_hazard call when planning a Gather.
If that starts to look expensive, I think a better solution would be to
teach PathTarget to carry/cache knowledge of parallel-safety of its
contents.

This patch provides a new implementation of the logic added by commit
137805f89 and later removed by 77ba61080. It differs from the original
primarily in expending much less effort per joinrel in large queries,
which it accomplishes by doing most of the matching work once per query not
once per joinrel. Hopefully, it's also less buggy and better commented.
The never-documented enable_fkey_estimates GUC remains gone.
There remains work to be done to make the selectivity estimates account
for nulls in FK referencing columns; but that was true of the original
patch as well. We may be able to address this point later in beta.
In the meantime, any error should be in the direction of overestimating
rather than underestimating joinrel sizes, which seems like the direction
we want to err in.

When doing partial aggregation, the args list of the upper (combining)
Aggref node is replaced by a Var representing the output of the partial
aggregation steps, which has either the aggregate's transition data type
or a serialized representation of that. However, nodeAgg.c blindly
continued to use the args list as an indication of the user-level argument
types. This broke resolution of polymorphic transition datatypes at
executor startup (though it accidentally failed to fail for the ANYARRAY
case, which is likely the only one anyone had tested). Moreover, the
constructed FuncExpr passed to the finalfunc contained completely wrong
information, which would have led to bogus answers or crashes for any case
where the finalfunc examined that information (which is only likely to be
with polymorphic aggregates using a non-polymorphic transition type).
As an independent bug, apply_partialaggref_adjustment neglected to resolve
a polymorphic transition datatype before assigning it as the output type
of the lower-level Aggref node. This again accidentally failed to fail
for ANYARRAY but would be unlikely to work in other cases.
To fix the first problem, record the user-level argument types in a
separate OID-list field of Aggref, and look to that rather than the args
list when asking what the argument types were. (It turns out to be
convenient to include any "direct" arguments in this list too, although
those are not currently subject to being overwritten.)
Rather than adding yet another resolve_aggregate_transtype() call to fix
the second problem, add an aggtranstype field to Aggref, and store the
resolved transition type OID there when the planner first computes it.
(By doing this in the planner and not the parser, we can allow the
aggregate's transition type to change from time to time, although no DDL
support yet exists for that.) This saves nothing of consequence for
simple non-polymorphic aggregates, but for polymorphic transition types
we save a catalog lookup during executor startup as well as several
planner lookups that are new in 9.6 due to parallel query planning.
In passing, fix an error that was introduced into count_agg_clauses_walker
some time ago: it was applying exprTypmod() to something that wasn't an
expression node at all, but a TargetEntry. exprTypmod silently returned
-1 so that there was not an obvious failure, but this broke the intended
sensitivity of aggregate space consumption estimates to the typmod of
varchar and similar data types. This part needs to be back-patched.

Commit 04ae11f62e643e07c411c4935ea6af46cb112aa9 removed some broken
code to apply the scan/join target to partial paths, but its theory
that this processing step is totally unnecessary turns out to be wrong.
Put similar code back again, but this time, check for parallel-safety
and avoid in-place modifications to paths that may already have been
used as part of some other path.
(This is not an entirely elegant solution to this problem; it might
be better, for example, to postpone generate_gather_paths for the
topmost scan/join rel until after the scan/join target has been
applied. But this is not the time for such redesign work.)

If you really want to vacuum every single page in the relation,
regardless of apparent visibility status or anything else, you can use
this option. In previous releases, this behavior could be achieved
using VACUUM (FREEZE), but because we can now recognize all-frozen
pages as not needing to be frozen again, that no longer works. There
should be no need for routine use of this option, but maybe bugs or
disaster recovery will necessitate its use.

The main point of doing this is to allow the cutoff to be set very small,
even zero, to allow parallel-query behavior to be tested on relatively
small tables such as we typically use in the regression tests. But it
might be of use to users too. The number-of-workers scaling behavior in
create_plain_partial_paths() is pretty ad-hoc and subject to change, so
we won't expose anything about that, but the notion of not considering
parallel query at all for tables below size X seems reasonably stable.

Commit a892234f830e832110f63fc0a2afce2fb21d1584 added a new bit per
page to the visibility map fork indicating whether the page is
all-frozen, but incorrectly assumed that if lazy_scan_heap chose to
freeze a tuple then that tuple would not need to later be frozen
again. This turns out to be false, because xmin and xmax (and
conceivably xvac, if dealing with tuples from very old releases) could
be frozen at separate times.
Thanks to Andres Freund for help in uncovering and tracking down this
issue.

currtid() and currtid2() call GetLatestSnapshot(), which fails in
parallel mode. pg_export_snapshot() calls ExportSnapshot() which
attempts to assign an XID for the current transaction if it does not
already have one; that, too, will fail in parallel mode.

The struct definition for PathTarget specifies that a NULL sortgrouprefs
pointer means no sortgroupref labels. While it's likely that there
should always be at least one labeled column in the places that were
unconditionally fetching through the pointer, it seems wiser to adhere to
the data structure specification and test first. Add a macro to make this
convenient. Per experimentation with running the regression tests with a
very small parallelization threshold --- the crash I observed may well
represent a bug elsewhere, but still this coding was not very robust.

While beneficial, both for throughput and average/worst case latency, in
a significant number of workloads, there are other workloads in which
backend_flush_after can cause significant performance regressions in
comparison to < 9.6 releases. The regression is most likely when the hot
data set is bigger than shared buffers, but significantly smaller than
the operating system's page cache.
I personally think that the benefit of enabling backend flush control is
considerably bigger than the potential downsides, but a fair argument
can be made that not regressing is more important than improving
performance/latency. As the latter is the consensus, change the default
to 0.
The other settings introduced in 428b1d6b2 do not have the same
potential for regressions, so leave them enabled.
Benchmarks leading up to changing the default have been performed by
Mithun Cy, Ashutosh Sharma and Robert Haas.

Commit b12fd41c6 added a "reltarget_has_non_vars" field to RelOptInfo,
but failed to maintain it accurately. Since its only purpose was to skip
calls to has_parallel_hazard() in the simple case where a rel's targetlist
is all Vars, and that call is really pretty cheap in that case anyway, it
seems like this is just a case of premature optimization. Let's drop the
flag and do the calls unconditionally until it's proven that we need more
smarts here.

As noted by Andres Freund, we'd accumulated quite a few similar functions
in clauses.c that examine all functions in an expression tree to see if
they satisfy some boolean test. Reduce the duplication by inventing a
function check_functions_in_node() that applies a simple callback function
to each SQL function OID appearing in a given expression node. This also
fixes some arguable oversights; for example, contain_mutable_functions()
did not check aggregate or window functions for mutability. I doubt that
that represents a live bug at the moment, because we don't really consider
mutability for aggregates; but it might someday be one.
I chose to put check_functions_in_node() in nodeFuncs.c because it seemed
like other modules might wish to use it in future. That in turn forced
moving set_opfuncid() et al into nodeFuncs.c, as the alternative was for
nodeFuncs.c to depend on optimizer/setrefs.c which didn't seem very clean.
In passing, teach contain_leaked_vars_walker() about a few more expression
node types it can safely look through, and improve the rather messy and
undercommented code in has_parallel_hazard_walker().

Since indexes are created without valid LSNs, an index created
while a snapshot older than old_snapshot_threshold existed could
cause queries to return incorrect results when those old snapshots
were used, if any relevant rows had been subject to early pruning
before the index was built. Prevent usage of a newly created index
until all such snapshots are released, for relations where this can
happen.
Questions about the interaction of "snapshot too old" with index
creation were initially raised by Andres Freund.

Transmit the leader's temp-namespace state to workers. This is important
because without it, the workers do not really have the same search path
as the leader. For example, there is no good reason (and no extant code
either) to prevent a worker from executing a temp function that the
leader created previously; but as things stood it would fail to find the
temp function, and then either fail or execute the wrong function entirely.
We still prohibit a worker from creating a temp namespace on its own.
In effect, a worker can only see the session's temp namespace if the leader
had created it before starting the worker, which seems like the right
semantics.
Also, transmit the leader's BackendId to workers, and arrange for workers
to use that when determining the physical file path of a temp relation
belonging to their session. While the original intent was to prevent such
accesses entirely, there were a number of holes in that, notably in places
like dbsize.c which assume they can safely access temp rels of other
sessions anyway. We might as well get this right, as a small down payment
on someday allowing workers to access the leader's temp tables. (With
this change, directly using "MyBackendId" as a relation or buffer backend
ID is deprecated; you should use BackendIdForTempRelations() instead.
I left a couple of such uses alone though, as they're not going to be
reachable in parallel workers until we do something about localbuf.c.)
Move the thou-shalt-not-access-thy-leader's-temp-tables prohibition down
into localbuf.c, which is where it actually matters, instead of having it
in relation_open(). This amounts to recognizing that access to temp
tables' catalog entries is perfectly safe in a worker, it's only the data
in local buffers that is problematic.
Having done all that, we can get rid of the test in has_parallel_hazard()
that says that use of a temp table's rowtype is unsafe in parallel workers.
That test was unduly expensive, and if we really did need such a
prohibition, that was not even close to being a bulletproof guard for it.
(For example, any user-defined function executed in a parallel worker
might have attempted such access.)

Such paths are unsafe. To make it cheaper to detect when this case
applies, track whether a relation's default PathTarget contains any
non-Vars. In most cases, the answer will be no, which enables us to
determine cheaply that the target list for a proposed path is
parallel-safe. However, subquery pull-up can create cases that
require us to inspect the target list more carefully.

Document these as "nearest integer >= argument" and "nearest integer <=
argument", which will hopefully be less confusing than the old formulation.
New wording is from Matlab via Dean Rasheed.
I changed the pg_description entries as well as the SGML docs. In the
back branches, this will only affect installations initdb'd in the future,
but it should be harmless otherwise.

Fix a couple of overlooked uses of "degree" terminology. Make the parallel
worker count selection logic in create_plain_partial_paths more robust (in
particular, it failed with max_parallel_workers_per_gather set to zero).
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
This terminology provoked widespread complaints. So, instead, rename
the GUC max_parallel_degree to max_parallel_workers_per_gather
(leaving room for a possible future GUC max_parallel_workers that acts
as a system-wide limit), and rename the parallel_degree reloption to
parallel_workers. Rename structure members to match.
These changes create a dump/restore hazard for users of PostgreSQL
9.6beta1 who have set the reloption (or applied the GUC using ALTER
USER or ALTER DATABASE).

This commit reverts 137805f89 as well as the associated commits 015e88942,
5306df283, and 68d704edb. We found multiple bugs in this feature, and
there was concern about possible planner slowdown (though to be fair,
exhibiting a very large slowdown proved difficult). The way forward
requires a considerable rewrite, which may or may not be possible to
accomplish in time for beta2. In my judgment reviewing the rewrite will
be easier to accomplish starting from a clean slate, so let's temporarily
revert what's there now. This also leaves us in a safe state if it turns
out to be necessary to postpone the rewrite to the next development cycle.

If we ANALYZE only selected columns of a table, we should not postpone
auto-analyze because of that; other columns may well still need stats
updates. As committed, the counter is left alone if a column list is
given, whether or not it includes all analyzable columns of the table.
Per complaint from Tomasz Ostrowski.
It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

If a Gather node has read as many tuples as it needs (for example, due
to Limit) it may detach the queue connecting it to the worker before
reading all of the worker's tuples. Rather than let the worker
continue to generate and send all of the results, have it stop after
sending the next tuple.
More could be done here to stop the worker even quicker, but this is
about as well as we can hope to do for 9.6.
This is in response to a problem report from Andreas Seltenreich.
Commit 44339b892a04e94bbb472235882dc6f7023bdc65 should be actually be
sufficient to fix that example even without this change, but it seems
better to do this, too, since we might otherwise waste quite a large
amount of effort in one or more workers.

This attempts to buy back some of whatever performance we lost from fixing
bug #14174 by inlining the initial checks in MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly()
into the callers. We can do that in a macro without creating multiple-
evaluation hazards, so it's pretty much free notationally; and the amount
of code added to callers should be minimal as well. (Testing a value can't
take many more instructions than passing it to a subroutine.)
Might as well inline DatumIsReadWriteExpandedObject() while we're at it.
This is an ABI break for callers, so it doesn't seem safe to put into 9.5,
but I see no reason not to do it in HEAD.

If a plan node output expression returns an "expanded" datum, and that
output column is referenced in more than one place in upper-level plan
nodes, we need to ensure that what is returned is a read-only reference
not a read/write reference. Otherwise one of the referencing sites could
scribble on or even delete the expanded datum before we have evaluated the
others. Commit 1dc5ebc9077ab742, which introduced this feature, supposed
that it'd be sufficient to make SubqueryScan nodes force their output
columns to read-only state. The folly of that was revealed by bug #14174
from Andrew Gierth, and really should have been immediately obvious
considering that the planner will happily optimize SubqueryScan nodes
out of the plan without any regard for this issue.
The safest fix seems to be to make ExecProject() force its results into
read-only state; that will cover every case where a plan node returns
expression results. Actually we can delegate this to ExecTargetList()
since we can recursively assume that plain Vars will not reference
read-write datums. That should keep the extra overhead down to something
minimal. We no longer need ExecMakeSlotContentsReadOnly(), which was
introduced only in support of the idea that just a few plan node types
would need to do this.
In the future it would be nice to have the planner account for this problem
and inject force-to-read-only expression evaluation nodes into only the
places where there's a risk of multiple evaluation. That's not a suitable
solution for 9.5 or even 9.6 at this point, though.

Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

The original intent in the stats collector was that we should not write out
stats data oftener than every PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL msec. Backends will not
make requests at all if they see the existing data is newer than that, and
the stats collector is supposed to disregard requests having a cutoff_time
older than its most recently written data, so that close-together requests
don't result in multiple writes. But the latter part of that got broken
in commit 187492b6c2e8cafc, so that if two backends concurrently decide
the existing stats are too old, the collector would write the data twice.
(In principle the collector's logic would still merge requests as long as
the second one arrives before we've actually written data ... but since
the message collection loop would write data immediately after processing
a single inquiry message, that never happened in practice, and in any case
the window in which it might work would be much shorter than
PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL.)
To fix, improve pgstat_recv_inquiry so that it checks whether the cutoff
time is too old, and doesn't add a request to the queue if so. This means
that we do not need DBWriteRequest.request_time, because the decision is
taken before making a queue entry. And that means that we don't really
need the DBWriteRequest data structure at all; an OID list of database
OIDs will serve and allow removal of some rather verbose and crufty code.
In passing, improve the comments in this area, which have been rather
neglected. Also change backend_read_statsfile so that it's not silently
relying on MyDatabaseId to have some particular value in the autovacuum
launcher process. It accidentally worked as desired because MyDatabaseId
is zero in that process; but that does not seem like a dependency we want,
especially with no documentation about it.
