* In SPGiST replay, do conflict resolution before modifying the page.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | In yesterday's commit 962e0cc71e839c58fb9125fa85511b8bbb8bdbee, I added the ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot call in the wrong place. I correctly put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page --- but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page image would modify the page before kicking off any conflicting HS transactions. Oops.
* Fix race conditions associated with SPGiST redirection tuples.Tom Lane2012-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The correct test for whether a redirection tuple is removable is whether tuple's xid < RecentGlobalXmin, not OldestXmin; the previous coding failed to protect index searches being done in concurrent transactions that have no XID. This mirrors the recent fix in btree's page recycling logic made in commit d3abbbebe52eb1e59e621c880ad57df9d40d13f2. Also, WAL-log the newest XID of any removed redirection tuple on an index page, and apply ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot during InHotStandby WAL replay. This protects against concurrent Hot Standby transactions possibly needing to see the redirection tuple(s). Per my query of 2012-03-12 and subsequent discussion.

* Teach SPGiST to store nulls and do whole-index scans.Tom Lane2012-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the other major compatibility-breaking limitation of SPGiST, that it didn't store anything for null values of the indexed column, and so could not support whole-index scans or "x IS NULL" tests. The approach is to create a wholly separate search tree for the null entries, and use fixed "allTheSame" insertion and search rules when processing this tree, instead of calling the index opclass methods. This way the opclass methods do not need to worry about dealing with nulls. Catversion bump is for pg_am updates as well as the change in on-disk format of SPGiST indexes; there are some tweaks in SPGiST WAL records as well. Heavily rewritten version of a patch by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev. (The original also stored nulls separately, but it reused GIN code to do so; which required undesirable compromises in the on-disk format, and would likely lead to bugs due to the GIN code being required to work in two very different contexts.)

* Rename updateNodeLink to spgUpdateNodeLink.Tom Lane2011-12-19
| | | | | | | On reflection, the original name seems way too generic for a global symbol. A quick check shows this is the only exported function name in SP-GiST that doesn't begin with "spg" or contain "SpGist", so the rest of them seem all right.
* Add SP-GiST (space-partitioned GiST) index access method.Tom Lane2011-12-17
SP-GiST is comparable to GiST in flexibility, but supports non-balanced partitioned search structures rather than balanced trees. As described at PGCon 2011, this new indexing structure can beat GiST in both index build time and query speed for search problems that it is well matched to. There are a number of areas that could still use improvement, but at this point the code seems committable. Teodor Sigaev and Oleg Bartunov, with considerable revisions by Tom Lane
