 * read_stream.c
 *	  Mechanism for accessing buffered relation data with look-ahead
 *
 * Code that needs to access relation data typically pins blocks one at a
 * time, often in a predictable order that might be sequential or data-driven.
 * Calling the simple ReadBuffer() function for each block is inefficient,
 * because blocks that are not yet in the buffer pool require I/O operations
 * that are small and might stall waiting for storage.  This mechanism looks
 * into the future and calls StartReadBuffers() and WaitReadBuffers() to read
 * neighboring blocks together and ahead of time, with an adaptive look-ahead
 * distance.
 *
 * A user-provided callback generates a stream of block numbers that is used
 * to form reads of up to io_combine_limit, by attempting to merge them with a
 * pending read.  When that isn't possible, the existing pending read is sent
 * to StartReadBuffers() so that a new one can begin to form.
 *
 * The algorithm for controlling the look-ahead distance is based on recent
 * cache hit and miss history.  When no I/O is necessary, there is no benefit
 * in looking ahead more than one block.  This is the default initial
 * assumption, but when blocks needing I/O are streamed, the distance is
 * increased rapidly to try to benefit from I/O combining and concurrency.  It
 * is reduced gradually when cached blocks are streamed.
 *
 * The main data structure is a circular queue of buffers of size
 * max_pinned_buffers plus some extra space for technical reasons, ready to be
 * returned by read_stream_next_buffer().  Each buffer also has an optional
 * variable sized object that is passed from the callback to the consumer of
 * buffers.
 *
 * Parallel to the queue of buffers, there is a circular queue of in-progress
 * I/Os that have been started with StartReadBuffers(), and for which
 * WaitReadBuffers() must be called before returning the buffer.
 *
 * For example, if the callback returns block numbers 10, 42, 43, 44, 60 in
 * successive calls, then these data structures might appear as follows:
 *
 *                          buffers buf/data       ios
 *
 *                          +----+  +-----+       +--------+
 *                          |    |  |     |  +----+ 42..44 | <- oldest_io_index
 *                          +----+  +-----+  |    +--------+
 *   oldest_buffer_index -> | 10 |  |  ?  |  | +--+ 60..60 |
 *                          +----+  +-----+  | |  +--------+
 *                          | 42 |  |  ?  |<-+ |  |        | <- next_io_index
 *                          +----+  +-----+    |  +--------+
 *                          | 43 |  |  ?  |    |  |        |
 *                          +----+  +-----+    |  +--------+
 *                          | 44 |  |  ?  |    |  |        |
 *                          +----+  +-----+    |  +--------+
 *                          | 60 |  |  ?  |<---+
 *                          +----+  +-----+
 *     next_buffer_index -> |    |  |     |
 *                          +----+  +-----+
 *
 * In the example, 5 buffers are pinned, and the next buffer to be streamed to
 * the client is block 10.  Block 10 was a hit and has no associated I/O, but
 * the range 42..44 requires an I/O wait before its buffers are returned, as
 * does block 60.
