2020-04-09Further stabilize results of 019_replslot_limit.pl.Tom Lane
Depending on specific values of restart_lsn or pg_current_wal_lsn() is obviously unsafe. The previous coding tried to dodge this issue by rounding off, but that's not good enough, as shown by multiple buildfarm members. Nuke all the uses of these values except for null-ness checks, pending some credible argument why we should think something else could be usefully stable.

2020-04-09Fix default text search parser's ts_headline code for phrase queries.Tom Lane
This code could produce very poor results when asked to highlight a string based on a query using phrase-match operators. The root cause is that hlCover(), which is supposed to find a minimal substring that matches the query, was written assuming that word position is not significant. I'm only 95% convinced that its algorithm was correct even for plain AND/OR queries; but it definitely fails completely for phrase matches, causing it to possibly not identify a cover string at all. Hence, rewrite hlCover() with a less-tense algorithm that just tries all the possible substrings, earlier and shorter ones first. (This is not as bad as it sounds performance-wise, because all of the string matching has been done already: the repeated tsquery match checks boil down to pointer comparisons.) Unfortunately, since that approach produces more candidate cover strings than before, it also exposes that there were bugs in the heuristics in mark_hl_words() for selecting a best cover string. Fixes there include: * Do not apply the ShortWord filter to words that appear in the query. * Remove a misguided optimization for quickly rejecting a cover. * Fix order-of-operation bug that could cause computation of a wrong figure of merit (poslen) when shortening a cover. * Change the preference rule so that candidate headlines that do not include their whole cover string (after MaxWords trimming) are lowest priority, since they may not actually satisfy the user's query. This results in some changes in existing regression test cases, but they all seem reasonable. Note in particular that the tests involving strings like "1 2 3" were previously being affected by the ShortWord filter, masking the normal matching behavior. Per bug #16345 from Augustinas Jokubauskas; the new test cases are based on that example. Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase search was added to tsquery.

2020-04-09Fix CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED column order issuePeter Eisentraut
CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED would fail if a generated column referred to a column with a higher attribute number. This is because the column mapping mechanism created the mapping incrementally as columns are added. This was sufficient for previous uses of that mechanism (omitting dropped columns), and it also happened to work if generated columns only referred to columns with lower attribute numbers, but here it failed. This fix is to build the attribute mapping in a separate loop before processing the columns in detail.

2020-04-08Stabilize incremental_sort testsTomas Vondra
The test never did ANALYZE on the test table, so the plans depended on various defaults (e.g. number of groups being 200). This worked most of the time, but with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS the autoanalyze often managed to build accurate stats, changing the plan. Fixed by increasing the size of test tables a bit, making the Sort a bit more expensive than Incremental Sort. The tests were constructed to test transitions in the Incremental Sort algorithm, and this change does not break that.

2020-04-08Allow partitionwise join to handle nested FULL JOIN USING cases.Tom Lane
This case didn't work because columns merged by FULL JOIN USING are represented in the parse tree by COALESCE expressions, and the logic for recognizing a partitionable join failed to match upper-level join clauses to such expressions. To fix, synthesize suitable COALESCE expressions and add them to the nullable_partexprs lists. This is pretty ugly and brute-force, but it gets the job done. (I have ambitions of rethinking the way outer-join output Vars are represented, so maybe that will provide a cleaner solution someday. For now, do this.)

2020-04-08Allow partitionwise joins in more cases.Etsuro Fujita
Previously, the partitionwise join technique only allowed partitionwise join when input partitioned tables had exactly the same partition bounds. This commit extends the technique to some cases when the tables have different partition bounds, by using an advanced partition-matching algorithm introduced by this commit. For both the input partitioned tables, the algorithm checks whether every partition of one input partitioned table only matches one partition of the other input partitioned table at most, and vice versa. In such a case the join between the tables can be broken down into joins between the matching partitions, so the algorithm produces the pairs of the matching partitions, plus the partition bounds for the join relation, to allow partitionwise join for computing the join. Currently, the algorithm works for list-partitioned and range-partitioned tables, but not hash-partitioned tables. See comments in partition_bounds_merge().

Replication slots are useful to retain data that may be needed by a replication system.

2020-04-07Adjust bytea get_bit/set_bit to use int8 not int4 for bit numbering.Tom Lane
Since the existing bit number argument can't exceed INT32_MAX, it's not possible for these functions to manipulate bits beyond the first 256MB of a bytea value. Lift that restriction by redeclaring the bit number arguments as int8 (which requires a catversion bump, hence is not back-patchable). The similarly-named functions for bit/varbit don't really have a problem because we restrict those types to at most VARBITMAXLEN bits; hence leave them alone. While here, extend the encode/decode functions in utils/adt/encode.c to allow dealing with values wider than 1GB. This is not a live bug or restriction in current usage, because no input could be more than 1GB, and since none of the encoders can expand a string more than 4X, the result size couldn't overflow uint32. But it might be desirable to support more in future, so make the input length values size_t and the potential-output-length values uint64. Also add some test cases to improve the miserable code coverage of these functions.

2020-04-07Consider Incremental Sort paths at additional placesTomas Vondra
Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from considering Incremental Sort too. This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not benefit from Incremental Sort yet.

2020-04-07Introduce xid8-based functions to replace txid_XXX.Thomas Munro
The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to users as int8. Now that we have an SQL type xid8 for FullTransactionId, define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and pg_current_snapshot() based on that. Keep the old functions around too, for now. It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness, and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally and share the code for both.

2020-04-06Implement Incremental SortTomas Vondra
Incremental Sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases when the input is already sorted by a prefix of the requested sort keys. For example when the relation is already sorted by (key1, key2) and we need to sort it by (key1, key2, key3) we can simply split the input rows into groups having equal values in (key1, key2), and only sort/compare the remaining column key3. This has a number of benefits: - Reduced memory consumption, because only a single group (determined by values in the sorted prefix) needs to be kept in memory. This may also eliminate the need to spill to disk. - Lower startup cost, because Incremental Sort produce results after each prefix group, which is beneficial for plans where startup cost matters (like for example queries with LIMIT clause). We consider both Sort and Incremental Sort, and decide based on costing. The implemented algorithm operates in two different modes: - Fetching a minimum number of tuples without check of equality on the prefix keys, and sorting on all columns when safe. - Fetching all tuples for a single prefix group and then sorting by comparing only the remaining (non-prefix) keys. We always start in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch into the second mode if we believe it's beneficial - the goal is to minimize the number of unnecessary comparions while keeping memory consumption below work_mem. This is a very old patch series. The idea was originally proposed by Alexander Korotkov back in 2013, and then revived in 2017. In 2018 the patch was taken over by James Coleman, who wrote and rewrote most of the current code. There were many reviewers/contributors since 2013 - I've done my best to pick the most active ones, and listed them in this commit message.

2020-04-04Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN. Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

2020-04-03Fix bugs in gin_fuzzy_search_limit processing.Tom Lane
entryGetItem()'s three code paths each contained bugs associated with filtering the entries for gin_fuzzy_search_limit. The posting-tree path failed to advance "advancePast" after having decided to filter an item. If we ran out of items on the current page and needed to advance to the next, what would actually happen is that entryLoadMoreItems() would re-load the same page. Eventually, the random dropItem() test would accept one of the same items it'd previously rejected, and we'd move on --- but it could take awhile with small gin_fuzzy_search_limit. To add insult to injury, this case would inevitably cause entryLoadMoreItems() to decide it needed to re-descend from the root, making things even slower. The posting-list path failed to implement gin_fuzzy_search_limit filtering at all, so that all entries in the posting list would be returned. The bitmap-result path used a "gotitem" variable that it failed to update in the one place where it'd actually make a difference, ie at the one "continue" statement. I think this was unreachable in practice, because if we'd looped around then it shouldn't be the case that the entries on the new page are before advancePast. Still, the "gotitem" variable was contributing nothing to either clarity or correctness, so get rid of it. Refactor all three loops so that the termination conditions are more alike and less unreadable. The code coverage report showed that we had no coverage at all for the re-descend-from-root code path in entryLoadMoreItems(), which seems like a very bad thing, so add a test case that exercises it. We also had exactly no coverage for gin_fuzzy_search_limit, so add a simplistic test case that at least hits those code paths a little bit. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2020-04-02Improve stability fix for partition_aggregate test.Tom Lane
Instead of disabling autovacuum on these test tables, adjust the partition boundaries so that the child partitions are not all the same size. That should cause the planner to use a predictable ordering of the per-partition scan nodes even in cases where autovacuum causes the rowcount estimates to be off a bit. Moreover, this also lets these tests show that the planner does properly order the tables in descending size order, something that wasn't being proven before. The pagg_tab1 and pagg_tab2 partitions are still all the same size, but that should be fine, because those tables are so small that (1) autovacuum won't fire on them, and (2) even if it did, it couldn't change the reltuples value --- with only one page, it can't see just part of the relation.

2020-04-02Attempt to stabilize partitionwise_aggregate testDavid Rowley
In b07642dbc, we added code to trigger autovacuums based on the number of INSERTs into a table. This seems to have cause some destabilization of the regression tests. Likely this is due to an autovacuum triggering mid-test and (per theory from Tom Lane) one of the test's queries causes autovacuum to skip some number of pages, resulting in the reltuples estimate changing. The failure that this is attempting to fix is around the order of subnodes in an Append. Since the planner orders these according to the subnode cost, then it's possible that a small change in the reltuples value changes the subnode's cost enough that it swaps position with one of its fellow subnodes. The failure here only seems to occur on slower buildfarm machines. In this case, lousyjack, which seems have taken over 8 minutes to run just the partitionwise_aggregate test. Such a slow run would increase the chances that the autovacuum launcher would trigger a vacuum mid-test. Faster machines run this test in sub second time, so have a much smaller window for an autovacuum to trigger. Here we fix this by disabling autovacuum on all tables created in the test. Additionally, this reverts the change made in the partitionwise_aggregate test in 2dc16efed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2020-04-02Add SQL functions for Unicode normalizationPeter Eisentraut
This adds SQL expressions NORMALIZE() and IS NORMALIZED to convert and check Unicode normal forms, per SQL standard. To support fast IS NORMALIZED tests, we pull in a new data file DerivedNormalizationProps.txt from Unicode and build a lookup table from that, using techniques similar to ones already used for other Unicode data. make update-unicode will keep it up to date. We only build and use these tables for the NFC and NFKC forms, because they are too big for NFD and NFKD and the improvement is not significant enough there.

2020-04-02Collect statistics about SLRU cachesTomas Vondra
There's a number of SLRU caches used to access important data like clog, commit timestamps, multixact, asynchronous notifications, etc. Until now we had no easy way to monitor these shared caches, compute hit ratios, number of reads/writes etc. This commit extends the statistics collector to track this information for a predefined list of SLRUs, and also introduces a new system view pg_stat_slru displaying the data. The list of built-in SLRUs is fixed, but additional SLRUs may be defined in extensions. Unfortunately, there's no suitable registry of SLRUs, so this patch simply defines a fixed list of SLRUs with entries for the built-in ones and one entry for all additional SLRUs. Extensions adding their own SLRU are fairly rare, so this seems acceptable. This patch only allows monitoring of SLRUs, not tuning. The SLRU sizes are still fixed (hard-coded in the code) and it's not entirely clear which of the SLRUs might need a GUC to tune size. In a way, allowing us to determine that is one of the goals of this patch. Bump catversion as the patch introduces new functions and system view.

2020-03-31Still another try at stabilizing stats_ext test results.Tom Lane
The stats_ext test is not expecting that autovacuum will touch any of its tables; an expectation falsified by commit b07642dbc. Although I'm suspicious that there's something else going on that makes extended stats estimates not 100% reproducible, it's pretty easy to demonstrate that there are places in this test that fail if an autovacuum updates the table's stats unexpectedly. Hence, revert the band-aid changes made by 2dc16efed and 24566b359 in favor of summarily disabling autovacuum for all the tables that this test checks estimated rowcounts for. Also remove an evidently obsolete comment at the head of the test. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

2020-03-30Implement operator class parametersAlexander Korotkov
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

2020-03-30Allow using Unix-domain sockets on Windows in testsPeter Eisentraut
The test suites currently don't use Unix-domain sockets on Windows. This optionally allows enabling that by setting the environment variable PG_TEST_USE_UNIX_SOCKETS. This should currently be considered experimental. In particular, pg_regress.c contains some comments that the cleanup code for Unix-domain sockets doesn't work correctly under Windows, which hasn't been an problem until now. But it's good enough for locally supervised testing of the functionality.

Following up on 2dc16efed, petalura has suffered some additional failures in stats_ext which again appear to be around the timing of an autovacuum during the test, causing instability in the row estimates. Again, let's fix this by explicitly performing a VACUUM on the table and not leave it to happen by chance of an autovacuum pass.

Put the temporary socket directory under TMPDIR, if that environment variable is set, instead of the hardcoded /tmp. This allows running the tests if there is no /tmp at all (for example on Windows, although running the tests with Unix-domain sockets is not enabled on Windows yet). We also use TMPDIR everywhere else /tmp is hardcoded, so this makes the behavior consistent.

2020-03-29Attempt to fix unstable regression testsDavid Rowley
b07642dbc added code to trigger autovacuums based on the number of inserts into a table. This seems to have caused some regression test results to destabilize. I suspect this is due to autovacuum triggering a vacuum sometime after the test's ANALYZE run and perhaps reltuples is ending up being set to a slightly different value as a result. Attempt to resolve this by running a VACUUM ANALYZE on the affected table instead of just ANALYZE. pg_class.reltuples will still get set to whatever ANALYZE chooses but we should no longer get the proceeding autovacuum overriding that. The overhead this adds to each test's runtime seems small enough not to worry about. I measure 3-4% on stats_ext and can't measure any change in partition_aggregate. I'm unable to recreate the issue locally, so this is a bit of a blind fix.

2020-03-28Improve the performance and accuracy of numeric sqrt() and ln().Dean Rasheed
Instead of using Newton's method to compute numeric square roots, use the Karatsuba square root algorithm, which performs better for numbers of all sizes. In practice, this is 3-5 times faster for inputs with just a few digits and up to around 10 times faster for larger inputs. Also, the new algorithm guarantees that the final digit of the result is correctly rounded, since it computes an integer square root with truncation, containing at least 1 extra decimal digit before rounding. The former algorithm would occasionally round the wrong way because it rounded both the intermediate and final results. In addition, arrange for sqrt_var() to explicitly support negative rscale values (rounding before the decimal point). This allows the argument reduction phase of ln_var() to be optimised for large inputs, since it only needs to compute square roots with a few more digits than the final ln() result, rather than computing all the digits before the decimal point. For very large inputs, this can be many thousands of times faster. In passing, optimise div_var_fast() in a couple of places where it was doing unnecessary work.

2020-03-28Enable Unix-domain sockets support on WindowsPeter Eisentraut
As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on Windows. But it's not automatically detected by configure because it looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that. So we just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure result. Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard location. In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows. Adding support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line or with a run-time test. The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix. The previous code passed "localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether. We instead need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect. The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on Windows. This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c. The TAP tests don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

2020-03-28Prevent functional dependency estimates from exceeding column estimates.Dean Rasheed
Formerly we applied a functional dependency "a => b with dependency degree f" using the formula P(a,b) = P(a) * [f + (1-f)*P(b)] This leads to the possibility that the combined selectivity P(a,b) could exceed P(b), which is not ideal. The addition of support for IN and OR clauses (commits 8f321bd16c and ccaa3569f5) would seem to make this more likely, since the user-supplied values in such clauses are not necessarily compatible with the functional dependency. Mitigate this by using the formula P(a,b) = f * Min(P(a), P(b)) + (1-f) * P(a) * P(b) instead, which guarantees that the combined selectivity is less than each column's individual selectivity. Logically, this is modifies the part of the formula that accounts for dependent rows to handle cases where P(a) > P(b), whilst not changing the second term which accounts for independent rows. Additionally, this refactors the way that functional dependencies are applied, so now dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() estimates both the implying clauses and the implied clauses for each functional dependency (formerly only the implied clauses were estimated), and now all clauses for each attribute are taken into account (formerly only one clause for each implied attribute was estimated). This removes the previously built-in assumption that only equality clauses will be seen, which is no longer true, and opens up the possibility of applying functional dependencies to more general clauses.
