* Remove piece of code to zero out minRecoveryPoint when starting crashHeikki Linnakangas2010-02-08
| | | | | | | | | recovery. It's zeroed out whenever a checkpoint is written, so the only scenario where the removed code did anything is when you kill archive recovery, remove recovery.conf, and start up the server, so that it goes into crash recovery instead. That's a "don't do that" scenario, but it seems better to not clear minRecoveryPoint but instead update it like we do in archive recovery, which is what will now happen.
* Remove CatalogCacheFlushRelation, and the reloidattr infrastructure that wasTom Lane2010-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | needed by nothing else. The restructuring I just finished doing on cache management exposed to me how silly this routine was. Its function was to go into the catcache and blow away all entries related to a given relation when there was a relcache flush on that relation. However, there is no point in removing a catcache entry if the catalog row it represents is still valid --- and if it isn't valid, there must have been a catcache entry flush on it, because that's triggered directly by heap_update or heap_delete on the catalog row. So this routine accomplished nothing except to blow away valid cache entries that we'd very likely be wanting in the near future to help reconstruct the relcache entry. Dumb. On top of which, it required a subtle and easy-to-get-wrong attribute in syscache definitions, ie, the column containing the OID of the related relation if any. Removing that is a very useful maintenance simplification.
* Remove some more dead VACUUM-FULL-only code.Tom Lane2010-02-08
|
* Remove old-style VACUUM FULL (which was known for a little while asTom Lane2010-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity. Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby. Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last being the sticking point for Hot Standby). We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.
* Work around deadlock problems with VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on system catalogs,Tom Lane2010-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per my recent proposal. First, teach IndexBuildHeapScan to not wait for INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples to commit unless the index build is checking uniqueness/exclusion constraints. If it isn't, there's no harm in just indexing the in-doubt tuple. Second, modify VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER to suppress reverifying uniqueness/exclusion constraint properties while rebuilding indexes of the target relation. This is reasonable because these commands aren't meant to deal with corrupted-data situations. Constraint properties will still be rechecked when an index is rebuilt by a REINDEX command. This gets us out of the problem that new-style VACUUM FULL would often wait for other transactions while holding exclusive lock on a system catalog, leading to probable deadlock because those other transactions need to look at the catalogs too. Although the real ultimate cause of the problem is a debatable choice to release locks early after modifying system catalogs, changing that choice would require pretty serious analysis and is not something to be undertaken lightly or on a tight schedule. The present patch fixes the problem in a fairly reasonable way and should also improve the speed of VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER a little bit.
* Looks like we need #include <sys/stat.h> here on someTom Lane2010-02-07
| | | | platforms. Per buildfarm.
* Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodesTom Lane2010-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits: * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs. * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing shared catalogs. CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would only be visible in one database. Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed; shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared. This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap, parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid such failures during the regression tests.
* Document that archive_timeout will force new WAL files even if a singleBruce Momjian2010-02-05

* Restructure CLUSTER/newstyle VACUUM FULL/ALTER TABLE support so that swappingTom Lane2010-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of old and new toast tables can be done either at the logical level (by swapping the heaps' reltoastrelid links) or at the physical level (by swapping the relfilenodes of the toast tables and their indexes). This is necessary infrastructure for upcoming changes to support CLUSTER/VAC FULL on shared system catalogs, where we cannot change reltoastrelid. The physical swap saves a few catalog updates too. We unfortunately have to keep the logical-level swap logic because in some cases we will be adding or deleting a toast table, so there's no possibility of a physical swap. However, that only happens as a consequence of schema changes in the table, which we do not need to support for system catalogs, so such cases aren't an obstacle for that. In passing, refactor the cluster support functions a little bit to eliminate unnecessarily-duplicated code; and fix the problem that while CLUSTER had been taught to rename the final toast table at need, ALTER TABLE had not.
* Move the responsibility of writing a "unlogged WAL operation" record fromHeikki Linnakangas2010-02-03
| | | | | | heap_sync() to the callers, because heap_sync() is sometimes called even if the operation itself is WAL-logged. This eliminates the bogus unlogged records from CLUSTER that Simon Riggs reported, patch by Fujii Masao.
* Add a message type header to the CopyData messages sent from primaryHeikki Linnakangas2010-02-03
| | | | | to standby in streaming replication. While we only have one message type at the moment, adding a message type header makes this easier to extend.
* Fix unwarranted assumption that a cached rowtype would stick aroundTom Lane2010-02-03

* Assorted cleanups in preparation for using a map file to support alteringTom Lane2010-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the relfilenode of currently-not-relocatable system catalogs. 1. Get rid of inval.c's dependency on relfilenode, by not having it emit smgr invalidations as a result of relcache flushes. Instead, smgr sinval messages are sent directly from smgr.c when an actual relation delete or truncate is done. This makes considerably more structural sense and allows elimination of a large number of useless smgr inval messages that were formerly sent even in cases where nothing was changing at the physical-relation level. Note that this reintroduces the concept of nontransactional inval messages, but that's okay --- because the messages are sent by smgr.c, they will be sent in Hot Standby slaves, just from a lower logical level than before. 2. Move setNewRelfilenode out of catalog/index.c, where it never logically belonged, into relcache.c; which is a somewhat debatable choice as well but better than before. (I considered catalog/storage.c, but that seemed too low level.) Rename to RelationSetNewRelfilenode. 3. Cosmetic cleanups of some other relfilenode manipulations.
* Fix assorted poorly-thought-out message strings: use %u not %d for printingTom Lane2010-02-02

* CLUSTER specified the wrong namespace when renaming toast tables of temporaryTom Lane2010-02-02
| | | | | | | relations (they don't live in pg_toast). This caused an Assert failure in assert-enabled builds. So far as I can see, in a non-assert build it would only have messed up the checks for conflicting names, so a failure would be quite improbable but perhaps not impossible.
* Make RADIUS authentication use pg_getaddrinfo_all() to get address ofMagnus Hagander2010-02-02

* Fold FindConversion() into FindConversionByName() and remove ACL check.Robert Haas2010-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | All callers of FindConversionByName() already do suitable permissions checking already apart from this function, but this is not just dead code removal: the unnecessary permissions check can actually lead to spurious failures - there's no reason why inability to execute the underlying function should prohibit renaming the conversion, for example. (The error messages in these cases were also rather poor: FindConversion would return InvalidOid, eventually leading to a complaint that the conversion "did not exist", which was not correct.)

* Tighten integrity checks on ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... RENAME.Robert Haas2010-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a column is renamed, we recursively rename the same column in all descendent tables. But if one of those tables also inherits that column from a table outside the inheritance hierarchy rooted at the named table, we must throw an error. The previous coding correctly prohibited the rename when the parent had inherited the column from elsewhere, but overlooked the case where the parent was OK but a child table also inherited the same column from a second, unrelated parent. For now, not backpatched due to lack of complaints from the field. KaiGai Kohei, with further changes by me. Reviewed by Bernd Helme and Tom Lane.
* Augment EXPLAIN output with more details on Hash nodes.Robert Haas2010-02-01
| | | | | | We show the number of buckets, the number of batches (and also the original number if it has changed), and the peak space used by the hash table. Minor executor changes to track peak space used.

* Add string_agg aggregate functions. The one argument version concatenatesItagaki Takahiro2010-02-01

* Change regexp engine's ccondissect/crevdissect routines to perform DFATom Lane2010-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | matching before recursing instead of after. The DFA match eliminates unworkable midpoint choices a lot faster than the recursive check, in most cases, so doing it first can speed things up; particularly in pathological cases such as recently exhibited by Michael Glaesemann. In addition, apply some cosmetic changes that were applied upstream (in the Tcl project) at the same time, in order to sync with upstream version 1.15 of regexec.c. Upstream apparently intends to backpatch this, so I will too. The pathological behavior could be unpleasant if encountered in the field, which seems to justify any risk of introducing new bugs.

* Fix memory leak created by deferrable-index-constraints patches.Tom Lane2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | We need to free the OID list returned by ExecInsertIndexTuples to avoid a query-lifespan memory leak. When many rows require rechecking, this can be a significant leak --- it's even more than the space used for the queued trigger events. Dean Rasheed

* Fix race condition in win32 signal handling.Magnus Hagander2010-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | There was a race condition where the receiving pipe could be closed by the child thread if the main thread was pre-empted before it got a chance to create a new one, and the dispatch thread ran to completion during that time. One symptom of this is that rows in pg_listener could be dropped under heavy load. Analysis and original patch by Radu Ilie, with some small modifications by Magnus Hagander.
* Avoid performing encoding conversion on command tag strings during EndCommand.Tom Lane2010-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since all current and foreseeable future command tags will be pure ASCII, there is no need to do conversion on them. This saves a few cycles and also avoids polluting otherwise-pristine subtransaction memory contexts, which is the cause of the backend memory leak exhibited in bug #5302. (Someday we'll probably want to have a better method of determining whether subtransaction contexts need to be kept around, but today is not that day.) Backpatch to 8.0. The cycle-shaving aspect of this would work in 7.4 too, but without subtransactions the memory-leak aspect doesn't apply, so it doesn't seem worth touching 7.4.

* Adjust GetLockConflicts() so that it uses TopMemoryContext whenSimon Riggs2010-01-29

* Augment WAL records for btree delete with GetOldestXmin() to reduceSimon Riggs2010-01-29
| | | | | | | | false positives during Hot Standby conflict processing. Simple patch to enhance conflict processing, following previous discussions. Controlled by parameter minimize_standby_conflicts = on | off, with default off allows measurement of performance impact to see whether it should be set on all the time.
* Filter recovery conflicts based upon dboid from relfilenode of WALSimon Riggs2010-01-29
| | | | | | | | records for heap and btree. Minor change, mostly API changes to pass through the required values. This is a simple change though also provides the refactoring required for further enhancements to conflict processing using the relOid. Changes only have effect during Hot Standby.

* Fix bug in wasender's xlogid boundary handling, reported by Erik Rijkers.Heikki Linnakangas2010-01-27
| | | | | | | | LogwrtRqst.Write can be set to non-existent FF log segment, we mustn't try to send that in XLogSend(). Also fix similar bug in ReadRecord(), which I just introduced in the ReadRecord() refactoring patch.
* Make standby server continuously retry restoring the next WAL segment withHeikki Linnakangas2010-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | restore_command, if the connection to the primary server is lost. This ensures that the standby can recover automatically, if the connection is lost for a long time and standby falls behind so much that the required WAL segments have been archived and deleted in the master. This also makes standby_mode useful without streaming replication; the server will keep retrying restore_command every few seconds until the trigger file is found. That's the same basic functionality pg_standby offers, but without the bells and whistles. To implement that, refactor the ReadRecord/FetchRecord functions. The FetchRecord() function introduced in the original streaming replication patch is removed, and all the retry logic is now in a new function called XLogReadPage(). XLogReadPage() is now responsible for executing restore_command, launching walreceiver, and waiting for new WAL to arrive from primary, as required. This also changes the life cycle of walreceiver. When launched, it now only tries to connect to the master once, and exits if the connection fails, or is lost during streaming for any reason. The startup process detects the death, and re-launches walreceiver if necessary.

* Remove the default_do_language parameter, instead making DO use a hardwiredTom Lane2010-01-26
| | | | | | | | default of "plpgsql". This is more reasonable than it was when the DO patch was written, because we have since decided that plpgsql should be installed by default. Per discussion, having a parameter for this doesn't seem useful enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed unexpectedly.
* Reformat the comments in pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.confPeter Eisentraut2010-01-26
| | | | | | | These files have apparently been edited over the years by a dozen people with as many different editor settings, which made the alignment of the paragraphs quite inconsistent and ugly. I made a pass of M-q with Emacs to straighten it out.

It's not clear whether all of these cases could really occur in the field, but at least one of them is easily exposed by simple stress testing, as per my accidental discovery yesterday.
