This was an oversight in commit 16828d5c. If the table is going to be
rewritten, we simply clear all the missing values from all the table's

This fixes bug #15446, reported by Dmitry Molotkov
Reviewed by Dean Rasheed
For a long time, plpgsql has allowed trigger functions to parse
references to OLD and NEW even if the current trigger event type didn't
assign a value to one or the other variable; but actually executing such
a reference would fail. The v11 changes to use "expanded records" for
DTYPE_REC variables changed the behavior so that the unassigned variable
now reads as a null composite value. While this behavioral change was
more or less unintentional, it seems that leaving it like this is better
than adding code and complexity to be bug-compatible with the old way.
The change doesn't break any code that worked before, and it eliminates
a gotcha that often required extra code to work around.
Hence, update the docs to say that these variables are "null" not
"unassigned" when not relevant to the event type. And add a regression
test covering the behavior, so that we'll notice if we ever break it
again.

This patch changes the rule for whether or not a tuple seen by ANALYZE
should be included in its sample.
When we last touched this logic, in commit 51e1445f1, we weren't
thinking very hard about tuples being UPDATEd by a long-running
concurrent transaction. In such a case, we might see the pre-image as
either LIVE or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS depending on timing; and we might see
the post-image not at all, or as INSERT_IN_PROGRESS. Since the existing
code will not sample either DELETE_IN_PROGRESS or INSERT_IN_PROGRESS
tuples, this leads to concurrently-updated rows being omitted from the
sample entirely. That's not very helpful, and it's especially the wrong
thing if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back.
The right thing seems to be to sample DELETE_IN_PROGRESS rows just as if
they were live. This makes the "sample it" and "count it" decisions the
same, which seems good for consistency. It's clearly the right thing
if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back; in effect, we are
sampling as though IN_PROGRESS transactions haven't happened yet.
Also, this combination of choices ensures maximum robustness against
the different combinations of whether and in which state we might see the
pre- and post-images of an update.
It's slightly annoying that we end up recording immediately-out-of-date
stats in the case where the transaction does commit, but on the other
hand the stats are fine for columns that didn't change in the update.
And the alternative of sampling INSERT_IN_PROGRESS rows instead seems
like a bad idea, because then the sampling would be inconsistent with
the way rows are counted for the stats report.

Isolation test suite of GIN predicate locking was criticized for being too slow,
especially under Valgrind. This commit is intended to accelerate it. Tests are
simplified in the following ways.
1) Amount of data is reduced. We're now close to the minimal amount of data,
which produces at least one posting tree and at least two pages of entry
tree.
2) Three isolation tests are merged into one.
3) Only one tuple is queried from posting tree. So, locking of index is the
same, but tuple locks are not propagated to relation lock. Also, it is
faster.
4) Test cases itself are simplified. Now each test case run just one INSERT
and one SELECT involving GIN, which either conflict or not.

At the end of recovery for the post-promotion process, a new history
file is created followed by the last partial segment of the previous
timeline. Based on the timing, the archiver would first try to archive
the last partial segment and then the history file. This can delay the
detection of a new timeline taken, particularly depending on the time it
takes to transfer the last partial segment as it delays the moment the
history file of the new timeline gets archived. This can cause promoted
standbys to use the same timeline as one already taken depending on the
circumstances if multiple instances look at archives at the same
location.
This commit changes the order of archiving so as history files are
archived in priority over other file types, which reduces the likelihood
of the same timeline being taken (still not reducing the window to
zero), and it makes the archiver behave more consistently with the
startup process doing its post-promotion business.

When a partition is detached from its parent, we acquire locks on all
attached indexes to also detach them ... but we release those locks
immediately. This is a violation of the policy of keeping locks on user

It's unclear that there are any ill effects possible, but it's clearly
wrong nonetheless. It's likely that bad behavior *is* possible, but
mostly because the relation that the index is for is only locked with
AccessShareLock, which is an older bug that shall be fixed separately.
While touching that line of code, close the index opened with

The flag for IF NOT EXISTS was only being passed down in the normal
recursing case. It's been this way since originally added in 9.6 in
commit 2cd40adb85 so backpatch back to 9.6.
Commit 40dae7ec53, which made the handling of interrupted nbtree page
splits more robust, removed an nbtree-specific end-of-recovery cleanup
step. This meant that it was no longer possible to complete an
interrupted page split during recovery. However, a reference to
recovery as a reason for using a NULL stack while inserting into a
parent page was missed. Remove the reference.
Remove a similar obsolete reference to recovery that was introduced much
more recently, as part of the btree fastpath optimization enhancement
that made it into Postgres 11 (commit 2b272734, and follow-up commits).
Backpatch: 11-, where the fastpath optimization was introduced.
"rescanratio" was computed as 1 + rescanned-tuples / total-inner-tuples,
which is sensible if it's to be multiplied by total-inner-tuples or a cost
value corresponding to scanning all the inner tuples. But in reality it
was (mostly) multiplied by inner_rows or a related cost, numbers that take
into account the possibility of stopping short of scanning the whole inner
relation thanks to a limited key range in the outer relation. This'd
still make sense if we could expect that stopping short would result in a
proportional decrease in the number of tuples that have to be rescanned.
It does not, however. The argument that establishes the validity of our
estimate for that number is independent of whether we scan all of the inner
relation or stop short, and experimentation also shows that stopping short
doesn't reduce the number of rescanned tuples. So the correct calculation
is 1 + rescanned-tuples / inner_rows, and we should be sure to multiply
that by inner_rows or a corresponding cost value.
Most of the time this doesn't make much difference, but if we have
both a high rescan rate (due to lots of duplicate values) and an outer
key range much smaller than the inner key range, then the error can
be significant, leading to a large underestimate of the cost associated
with rescanning.

The new grammar pattern of ALTER INDEX SET STATISTICS able to use column
numbers on top of the existing column names introduced by commit 5b6d13e
forgot to add support for the feature in pg_dump, so defining statistics
on index columns was missing from the dumps, potentially causing silent
planning problems with a subsequent restore.
pg_dump ought to not use column names in what it generates as these are
automatically generated by the server and could conflict with real
relation attributes with matching patterns. "expr" and "exprN", N
incremented automatically after the creation of the first one, are used
as default attribute names for index expressions, and that could easily
match what is defined in other relations, causing the dumps to fail if
some of those attributes are renamed at some point. So to avoid any

an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit

We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case,

to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a
specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure.
Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type
to use the common functions.
In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether
the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before,
that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself

The idea here is to not call recordDependencyOn for the default collation,

When GIN vacuum deletes a posting tree page, it assumes that no concurrent
searchers can access it, thanks to ginStepRight() locking two pages at once.
However, since 9.4 searches can skip parts of posting trees descending from the
root. That leads to the risk that page is deleted and reclaimed before
concurrent search can access it.
This commit prevents the risk of above by waiting for every transaction, which
might wait to reference this page, to finish. Due to binary compatibility
we can't change GinPageOpaqueData to store corresponding transaction id.
Instead we reuse page header pd_prune_xid field, which is unused in index pages.

Our support for multiple-set-clauses in UPDATE assumes that the Params
referencing a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlan will appear before that SubPlan
in the targetlist of the plan node that calculates the updated row.
(Yeah, it's a hack...) In some PG branches it's possible that a Result
node gets inserted between the primary calculation of the update tlist
and the ModifyTable node. setrefs.c did the wrong thing in this case
and left the upper-level Params as Params, causing a crash at runtime.
What it should do is replace them with "outer" Vars referencing the child
plan node's output. That's a result of careless ordering of operations
in fix_upper_expr_mutator, so we can fix it just by reordering the code.
Fix fix_join_expr_mutator similarly for consistency, even though join
nodes could never appear in such a context. (In general, it seems
likely to be a bit cheaper to use Vars than Params in such situations
anyway, so this patch might offer a tiny performance improvement.)
