* Allow fractional input values for integer GUCs, and improve rounding logic.Tom Lane2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically guc.c has just refused examples like set work_mem = '30.1GB', but it seems more useful for it to take that and round off the value to some reasonable approximation of what the user said. Just rounding to the parameter's native unit would work, but it would lead to rather silly-looking settings, such as 31562138kB for this example. Instead let's round to the nearest multiple of the next smaller unit (if any), producing 30822MB. Also, do the units conversion math in floating point and round to integer (if needed) only at the end. This produces saner results for inputs that aren't exact multiples of the parameter's native unit, and removes another difference in the behavior for integer vs. float parameters. In passing, document the ability to use hex or octal input where it ought to be documented. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1798.1552165479@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Give up on testing guc.c's behavior for "infinity" inputs.Tom Lane2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Further buildfarm testing shows that on the machines that are failing ac75959cd's test case, what we're actually getting from strtod("-infinity") is a syntax error (endptr == value) not ERANGE at all. This test case is not worth carrying two sets of expected output for, so just remove it, and revert commit b212245f9's misguided attempt to work around the platform dependency.

* Ensure sufficient alignment for ParallelTableScanDescData in BTShared.Andres Freund2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously ParallelTableScanDescData was just a member in BTShared, but after c2fe139c2 that doesn't guarantee sufficient alignment as specific AMs might (are likely to) need atomic variables in the struct. One might think that MAXALIGNing would be sufficient, but as a comment in shm_toc_allocate() explains, that's not enough. For now, copy the hack described there. For parallel sequential scans no such change is needed, as its allocations go through shm_toc_allocate(). An alternative approach would have been to allocate the parallel scan descriptor in a separate TOC entry, but there seems little benefit in doing so. Per buildfarm member dromedary.

* tableam: Add and use scan APIs.Andres Freund2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several new abstractions are needed. 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.

* In guc.c, ignore ERANGE errors from strtod().Tom Lane2019-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead, just proceed with the infinity or zero result that it should return for overflow/underflow. This avoids a platform dependency, in that various versions of strtod are inconsistent about whether they signal ERANGE for a value that's specified as infinity.

Per discussion, it seems like what we should do instead is to reduce the default value of autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay by the same factor. That's functionally equivalent as long as the platform can accurately service the smaller delay request, which should be true on anything released in the last 10 years or more. And smaller, more-closely-spaced delays are better in terms of providing a steady I/O load. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28720.1552101086@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Convert [autovacuum_]vacuum_cost_delay into floating-point GUCs.Tom Lane2019-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change makes it possible to specify sub-millisecond delays, which work well on most modern platforms, though that was not true when the cost-delay feature was designed. To support this without breaking existing configuration entries, improve guc.c to allow floating-point GUCs to have units. Also, allow "us" (microseconds) as an input/output unit for time-unit GUCs. (It's not allowed as a base unit, at least not yet.) Likewise change the autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay reloption to be floating-point; this forces a catversion bump because the layout of StdRdOptions changes. This patch doesn't in itself change the default values or allowed ranges for these parameters, and it should not affect the behavior for any already-allowed setting for them.

* Include GUC's unit, if it has one, in out-of-range error messages.Tom Lane2019-03-10

Some of the changes here assume that float GUCs can have units, which isn't true just yet, but will be shortly. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3811.1552169665@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Disallow NaN as a value for floating-point GUCs.Tom Lane2019-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | None of the code that uses GUC values is really prepared for them to hold NaN, but parse_real() didn't have any defense against accepting such a value. Treat it the same as a syntax error. I haven't attempted to analyze the exact consequences of setting any of the float GUCs to NaN, but since they're quite unlikely to be good, this seems like a back-patchable bug fix. Note: we don't need an explicit test for +-Infinity because those will be rejected by existing range checks. I added a regression test for that in HEAD, but not older branches because the spelling of the value in the error message will be platform-dependent in branches where we don't always use port/snprintf.c.

* Support for INCLUDE attributes in GiST indexesAlexander Korotkov2019-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to B-tree, GiST index access method gets support of INCLUDE attributes. These attributes aren't used for tree navigation and aren't present in non-leaf pages. But they are present in leaf pages and can be fetched during index-only scan. The point of having INCLUDE attributes in GiST indexes is slightly different from the point of having them in B-tree. The main point of INCLUDE attributes in B-tree is to define UNIQUE constraint over part of attributes enabled for index-only scan. In GiST the main point of INCLUDE attributes is to use index-only scan for attributes, whose data types don't have GiST opclasses.

* Tighten use of OpenTransientFile and CloseTransientFileMichael Paquier2019-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes two sets of issues related to the use of transient files in the backend: 1) OpenTransientFile() has been used in some code paths with read-write flags while read-only is sufficient, so switch those calls to be read-only where necessary. These have been reported by Joe Conway. 2) When opening transient files, it is up to the caller to close the file descriptors opened. In error code paths, CloseTransientFile() gets called to clean up things before issuing an error. However in normal exit paths, a lot of callers of CloseTransientFile() never actually reported errors, which could leave a file descriptor open without knowing about it. This is an issue I complained about a couple of times, but never had the courage to write and submit a patch, so here we go. Note that one frontend code path is impacted by this commit so as an error is issued when fetching control file data, making backend and frontend to be treated consistently.

* Fix handling of targetlist SRFs when scan/join relation is known empty.Tom Lane2019-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we introduced separate ProjectSetPath nodes for application of set-returning functions in v10, we inadvertently broke some cases where we're supposed to recognize that the result of a subquery is known to be empty (contain zero rows). That's because IS_DUMMY_REL was just looking for a childless AppendPath without allowing for a ProjectSetPath being possibly stuck on top. In itself, this didn't do anything much worse than produce slightly worse plans for some corner cases. Then in v11, commit 11cf92f6e rearranged things to allow the scan/join targetlist to be applied directly to partial paths before they get gathered. But it inserted a short-circuit path for dummy relations that was a little too short: it failed to insert a ProjectSetPath node at all for a targetlist containing set-returning functions, resulting in bogus "set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set" errors, as reported in bug #15669 from Madelaine Thibaut. The best way to fix this mess seems to be to reimplement IS_DUMMY_REL so that it drills down through any ProjectSetPath nodes that might be there (and it seems like we'd better allow for ProjectionPath as well). While we're at it, make it look at rel->pathlist not cheapest_total_path, so that it gives the right answer independently of whether set_cheapest has been done lately. That dependency looks pretty shaky in the context of code like apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths, and even if it's not broken today it'd certainly bite us at some point. (Nastily, unsafe use of the old coding would almost always work; the hazard comes down to possibly looking through a dangling pointer, and only once in a blue moon would you find something there that resulted in the wrong answer.) It now looks like it was a mistake for IS_DUMMY_REL to be a macro: if there are any extensions using it, they'll continue to use the old inadequate logic until they're recompiled, after which they'll fail to load into server versions predating this fix. Hopefully there are few such extensions. Having fixed IS_DUMMY_REL, the special path for dummy rels in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths is unnecessary as well as being wrong, so we can just drop it. Also change a few places that were testing for partitioned-ness of a planner relation but not using IS_PARTITIONED_REL for the purpose; that seems unsafe as well as inconsistent, plus it required an ugly hack in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths. In passing, save a few cycles in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths by skipping processing of pre-existing paths for partitioned rels, and do some cosmetic cleanup and comment adjustment in that function. I renamed IS_DUMMY_PATH to IS_DUMMY_APPEND with the intention of breaking any code that might be using it, since in almost every case that would be wrong; IS_DUMMY_REL is what to be using instead. In HEAD, also make set_dummy_rel_pathlist static (since it's no longer used from outside allpaths.c), and delete is_dummy_plan, since it's no longer used anywhere. Back-patch as appropriate into v11 and v10. Tom Lane and Julien Rouhaud Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15669-02fb3296cca26203@postgresql.org
* Allow ATTACH PARTITION with only ShareUpdateExclusiveLock.Robert Haas2019-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We still require AccessExclusiveLock on the partition itself, because otherwise an insert that violates the newly-imposed partition constraint could be in progress at the same time that we're changing that constraint; only the lock level on the parent relation is weakened. To make this safe, we have to cope with (at least) three separate problems. First, relevant DDL might commit while we're in the process of building a PartitionDesc. If so, find_inheritance_children() might see a new partition while the RELOID system cache still has the old partition bound cached, and even before invalidation messages have been queued. To fix that, if we see that the pg_class tuple seems to be missing or to have a null relpartbound, refetch the value directly from the table. We can't get the wrong value, because DETACH PARTITION still requires AccessExclusiveLock throughout; if we ever want to change that, this will need more thought. In testing, I found it quite difficult to hit even the null-relpartbound case; the race condition is extremely tight, but the theoretical risk is there. Second, successive calls to RelationGetPartitionDesc might not return the same answer. The query planner will get confused if lookup up the PartitionDesc for a particular relation does not return a consistent answer for the entire duration of query planning. Likewise, query execution will get confused if the same relation seems to have a different PartitionDesc at different times. Invent a new PartitionDirectory concept and use it to ensure consistency. This ensures that a single invocation of either the planner or the executor sees the same view of the PartitionDesc from beginning to end, but it does not guarantee that the planner and the executor see the same view. Since this allows pointers to old PartitionDesc entries to survive even after a relcache rebuild, also postpone removing the old PartitionDesc entry until we're certain no one is using it. For the most part, it seems to be OK for the planner and executor to have different views of the PartitionDesc, because the executor will just ignore any concurrently added partitions which were unknown at plan time; those partitions won't be part of the inheritance expansion, but invalidation messages will trigger replanning at some point. Normally, this happens by the time the very next command is executed, but if the next command acquires no locks and executes a prepared query, it can manage not to notice until a new transaction is started. We might want to tighten that up, but it's material for a separate patch. There would still be a small window where a query that started just after an ATTACH PARTITION command committed might fail to notice its results -- but only if the command starts before the commit has been acknowledged to the user. All in all, the warts here around serializability seem small enough to be worth accepting for the considerable advantage of being able to add partitions without a full table lock. Although in general the consequences of new partitions showing up between planning and execution are limited to the query not noticing the new partitions, run-time partition pruning will get confused in that case, so that's the third problem that this patch fixes. Run-time partition pruning assumes that indexes into the PartitionDesc are stable between planning and execution. So, add code so that if new partitions are added between plan time and execution time, the indexes stored in the subplan_map[] and subpart_map[] arrays within the plan's PartitionedRelPruneInfo get adjusted accordingly. There does not seem to be a simple way to generalize this scheme to cope with partitions that are removed, mostly because they could then get added back again with different bounds, but it works OK for added partitions. This code does not try to ensure that every backend participating in a parallel query sees the same view of the PartitionDesc. That currently doesn't matter, because we never pass PartitionDesc indexes between backends. Each backend will ignore the concurrently added partitions which it notices, and it doesn't matter if different backends are ignoring different sets of concurrently added partitions. If in the future that matters, for example because we allow writes in parallel query and want all participants to do tuple routing to the same set of partitions, the PartitionDirectory concept could be improved to share PartitionDescs across backends. There is a draft patch to serialize and restore PartitionDescs on the thread where this patch was discussed, which may be a useful place to start. Patch by me.

* Don't reuse slots between root and partition in ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE.Andres Freund2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now the the slot to store the conflicting tuple, and the result of the ON CONFLICT SET, where reused between partitions. That necessitated changing slots descriptor when switching partitions. Besides the overhead of switching descriptors on a slot (which requires memory allocations and prevents JITing), that's importantly also problematic for tableam. There individual partitions might belong to different tableams, needing different kinds of slots. In passing also fix ExecOnConflictUpdate to clear the existing slot at exit. Otherwise that slot could continue to hold a pin till the query ends, which could be far too long if the input data set is large, and there's no further conflicts. While previously also problematic, it's now more important as there will be more such slots when partitioned.

* tableam: introduce table AM infrastructure.Andres Freund2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine). No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this commit, that'll be done in following commits. Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done incrementally. Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work, without a lot of benefit. Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods, i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to a constant struct. Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour still needs to be fine tuned. For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a behaviour without a compatibility break. Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

* Increase the default vacuum_cost_limit from 200 to 2000Andrew Dunstan2019-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original 200 default value was set back in f425b605f4e when the cost delay settings were first added. Hardware has improved quite a bit since then and we've also made improvements such as sorting buffers during checkpoints (9cd00c457e6) which should result in less random writes. This low default value was reportedly causing problems with badly configured servers and in the absence of a native method to remove excessive bloat from tables without incurring an AccessExclusiveLock, this often made cleaning up the damage caused by badly configured auto-vacuums difficult. It seems more likely that someone will notice that auto-vacuum is running too quickly than too slowly, so let's go all out and multiple the default value for the setting by 10. With the default vacuum_cost_page_dirty and autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay (assuming a page size of 8192 bytes), this allows autovacuum a theoretical maximum dirty write rate of around 39MB/s instead of just 3.9MB/s.

* Scan GiST indexes in physical order during VACUUM.Heikki Linnakangas2019-03-05

* Improve performance of index-only scans with many index columns.Tom Lane2019-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | StoreIndexTuple was a loop over index_getattr, which is O(N^2) if the index columns are variable-width, and the performance impact is already quite visible at ten columns. The obvious move is to replace that with a call to index_deform_tuple ... but that's *also* a loop over index_getattr. Improve it to be essentially a clone of heap_deform_tuple. (There are a few other places that loop over all index columns with index_getattr, and perhaps should be changed likewise, but most of them don't seem performance-critical. Anyway, the rest would mostly only be interested in the index key columns, which there aren't likely to be so many of. Wide index tuples are a new thing with INCLUDE.)

* Further fixing for multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.Dean Rasheed2019-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, rewriteTargetListIU() generated a list of attribute numbers from the targetlist, which were passed to rewriteValuesRTE(), which expected them to contain the same number of entries as there are columns in the VALUES RTE, and to be in the same order. That was fine when the target relation was a table, but for an updatable view it could be broken in at least three different ways --- rewriteTargetListIU() could insert additional targetlist entries for view columns with defaults, the view columns could be in a different order from the columns of the underlying base relation, and targetlist entries could be merged together when assigning to elements of an array or composite type. As a result, when recursing to the base relation, the list of attribute numbers generated from the rewritten targetlist could no longer be relied upon to match the columns of the VALUES RTE. We got away with that prior to 41531e42d3 because it used to always be the case that rewriteValuesRTE() did nothing for the underlying base relation, since all DEFAULTS had already been replaced when it was initially invoked for the view, but that was incorrect because it failed to apply defaults from the base relation. Fix this by examining the targetlist entries more carefully and picking out just those that are simple Vars referencing the VALUES RTE. That's sufficient for the purposes of rewriteValuesRTE(), which is only responsible for dealing with DEFAULT items in the VALUES RTE. Any DEFAULT item in the VALUES RTE that doesn't have a matching simple-Var-assignment in the targetlist is an error which we complain about, but in theory that ought to be impossible. Additionally, move this code into rewriteValuesRTE() to give a clearer separation of concerns between the 2 functions. There is no need for rewriteTargetListIU() to know about the details of the VALUES RTE. While at it, fix the comment for rewriteValuesRTE() which claimed that it doesn't support array element and field assignments --- that hasn't been true since a3c7a993d5 (9.6 and later). Back-patch to all supported versions, with minor differences for the pre-9.6 branches, which don't support array element and field assignments to the same column in multi-row VALUES lists.

* Consider only relations part of partition trees in partition functionsMichael Paquier2019-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the partition functions so as tables and indexes which are not part of partition trees are handled the same way as what is done for undefined objects and unsupported relkinds: pg_partition_tree() returns no rows and pg_partition_root() returns a NULL result. Hence, partitioned tables, partitioned indexes and relations whose flag pg_class.relispartition is set are considered as valid objects to process. Previously, tables and indexes not included in a partition tree were processed the same way as a partition or a partitioned table, which caused the functions to return inconsistent results for inherited tables, especially when inheriting from multiple tables.

* Teach optimizer's predtest.c more things about ScalarArrayOpExpr.Tom Lane2019-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, make it possible to prove/refute "x IS NULL" and "x IS NOT NULL" predicates from a clause involving a ScalarArrayOpExpr even when we are unable or unwilling to deconstruct the expression into an AND/OR tree. This avoids a former unexpected degradation of plan quality when the size of an ARRAY[] expression or array constant exceeded the arbitrary MAX_SAOP_ARRAY_SIZE limit. For IS-NULL proofs, we don't really care about the values of the individual array elements; at most, we care whether there are any, and for some common cases we needn't even know that. The main user-visible effect of this is to let the optimizer recognize applicability of partial indexes with "x IS NOT NULL" predicates to queries with "x IN (array)" clauses in some cases where it previously failed to recognize that. The structure of predtest.c is such that a bunch of related proofs will now also succeed, but they're probably much less useful in the wild.

* Store tuples for EvalPlanQual in slots, rather than as HeapTuples.Andres Freund2019-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the upcoming pluggable table access methods it's quite inconvenient to store tuples as HeapTuples, as that'd require converting tuples from a their native format into HeapTuples. Instead use slots to manage epq tuples. To fit into that scheme, change the foreign data wrapper callback RefetchForeignRow, to store the tuple in a slot. Insist on using the caller provided slot, so it conveniently can be stored in the corresponding EPQ slot. As there is no in core user of RefetchForeignRow, that change was done blindly, but we plan to test that soon. To avoid duplicating that work for row locks, move row locks to just directly use the EPQ slots - it previously temporarily stored tuples in LockRowsState.lr_curtuples, but that doesn't seem beneficial, given we'd possibly end up with a significant number of additional slots. The behaviour of es_epqTupleSet[rti -1] is now checked by es_epqTupleSlot[rti -1] != NULL, as that is distinguishable from a slot containing an empty tuple.

* Clear the local map when not used.Amit Kapila2019-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit b0eaa4c51b, we use a local map of pages to find the required space for small relations. We do clear this map when we have found a block with enough free space, when we extend the relation, or on transaction abort so that it can be used next time. However, we miss to clear it when we didn't find any pages to try from the map which leads to an assertion failure when we later tried to use it after relation extension. In the passing, I have improved some comments in this area.
