The BAS_VACUUM ring size has been 256kB since commit d526575f introduced
the mechanism 17 years ago. Commit 1cbbee03 recently made it
configurable but retained the traditional default. The correct default
size has been debated for years, but 256kB is certainly very small.
VACUUM soon needs to write back data it dirtied only 32 blocks ago,
which usually requires flushing the WAL. New experiments in prefetching
pages for VACUUM exacerbated the problem by crashing into dirty data
even sooner. Let's make the default 2MB. That's 1.6% of the default
toy buffer pool size, and 0.2% of 1GB, which would be a considered a
small shared_buffers setting for a real system these days. Users are
still free to set the GUC to a different value.

Adds --clone/--copy-file-range options to pg_combinebackup, to allow
copying files using file cloning or copy_file_range(). These methods may
be faster than the standard block-by-block copy, but the main advantage
is that they enable various features provided by CoW filesystems.
This commit only uses these copy methods for files that did not change
and can be copied as a whole from a single backup.
These new copy methods may not be available on all platforms, in which
case the command throws an error (immediately, even if no files would be
copied as a whole). This early failure seems better than failing later
when trying to copy the first file, after performing a lot of work on
earlier files.
If the requested copy method is available, but a checksum needs to be
recalculated (e.g. because of a different checksum type), the file is
still copied using the requested method, but it is also read for the
checksum calculation. Depending on the filesystem this may be more
expensive than just performing the simple copy, but it does enable the
CoW benefits.

This commit does two things:
1) Maintains inactive_since for sync slots whenever the slot is released
just like any other regular slot.
2) Ensures the value is set to the current timestamp during the promotion
of standby to help correctly interpret the time after promotion. We don't
want the slots to appear inactive for a long time after promotion if they
haven't been synchronized recently. This would also avoid the invalidation
of such slots immediately after promotion if tomorrow we have a feature
that invalidates slots based on their inactivity time. Whoever acquires
the slot i.e. makes the slot active will reset it to NULL.

JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view
and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular
data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object
using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's
called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the
SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column
values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to
each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the
SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737c are used.
To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the
TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to
support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields.
Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN
clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract
data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here
to keep this commit of manageable size.

Presently, the archiver process restarts when an archive callback
ERRORs. To avoid this, archive module authors can use sigsetjmp(),
manage a memory context, etc., but that requires a lot of extra
code that will likely look roughly the same between modules. This
commit adds basic archive callback ERROR handling to pgarch.c so
that module authors won't ordinarily need to worry about this.
While this built-in handler attempts to clean up anything that an
archive module could conceivably have left behind, it is possible
that some modules are doing unexpected things that require
additional cleanup. Module authors should be sure to do any extra
required cleanup in a PG_CATCH block within the archiving callback.
The archiving callback is now called in a short-lived memory
context that the archiver process resets between invocations. If a
module requires longer-lived storage, it must maintain its own
memory context.
Thanks to these changes, the basic_archive module can be greatly
simplified.

pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed before starting the transaction.
This option is useful when the user makes some data changes on primary and
needs a guarantee to see these changes on standby.
The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory array sorted by LSN.
During replay of WAL waiters whose LSNs are already replayed are deleted from
the shared memory array and woken up by setting of their latches.
pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records implying a kind of
self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working in a non-atomic context,
not a function.

Break ReadBuffer() up into two steps. StartReadBuffers() and
WaitReadBuffers() give us two main advantages:
1. Multiple consecutive blocks can be read with one system call.
2. Advice (hints of future reads) can optionally be issued to the
kernel ahead of time.
The traditional ReadBuffer() function is now implemented in terms of
those functions, to avoid duplication.
A new GUC io_combine_limit is defined, and the functions for limiting
per-backend pin counts are made into public APIs. Those are provided
for use by callers of StartReadBuffers(), when deciding how many buffers
to read at once. The following commit will add a higher level mechanism
for doing that automatically with a practical interface.
With some more infrastructure in later work, StartReadBuffers() could
be extended to start real asynchronous I/O instead of just issuing
advice and leaving WaitReadBuffers() to do the work synchronously.

Previously, we used a simple array for storing dead tuple IDs during
lazy vacuum, which had a number of problems:
* The array used a single allocation and so was limited to 1GB.
* The allocation was pessimistically sized according to table size.
* Lookup with binary search was slow because of poor CPU cache and
branch prediction behavior.
This commit replaces that array with the TID store from commit
30e144287a.
Since the backing radix tree makes small allocations as needed, the
1GB limit is now gone. Further, the total memory used is now often
smaller by an order of magnitude or more, depending on the
distribution of blocks and offsets. These two features should make
multiple rounds of heap scanning and index cleanup an extremely rare
event. TID lookup during index cleanup is also several times faster,
even more so when index order is correlated with heap tuple order.
Since there is no longer a predictable relationship between the number
of dead tuples vacuumed and the space taken up by their TIDs, the
number of tuples no longer provides any meaningful insights for users,
nor is the maximum number predictable. For that reason this commit
also changes to byte-based progress reporting, with the relevant
columns of pg_stat_progress_vacuum renamed accordingly to
max_dead_tuple_bytes and dead_tuple_bytes.
For parallel vacuum, both the TID store and supplemental information
specific to vacuum are shared among the parallel vacuum workers. As
with the previous array, we don't take any locks on TidStore during
parallel vacuum since writes are still only done by the leader
process.

This patch allows pg_restore to wrap its commands into transaction
blocks, somewhat like --single-transaction, except that we commit
and start a new block after every N objects. Using this mode
with a size limit of 1000 or so objects greatly reduces the number
of transactions consumed by the restore, while preventing any
one transaction from taking enough locks to overrun the receiving
server's shared lock table.
(A value of 1000 works well with the default lock table size of
around 6400 locks. Higher --transaction-size values can be used
if one has increased the receiving server's lock table size.)
Excessive consumption of XIDs has been reported as a problem for
pg_upgrade in particular, but it could be bad for any restore; and the
change also reduces the number of fsyncs and amount of WAL generated,
so it should provide speed benefits too.
This patch does not try to make parallel workers batch the SQL
commands they issue. The trouble with doing that is that other
workers may need to see the objects a worker creates right away.
Possibly this can be improved later.
In this patch I have hard-wired pg_upgrade to use a transaction size
of 1000 divided by the number of parallel restore jobs allowed
(without that, we'd still be at risk of overrunning the shared lock
table). Perhaps there would be value in adding another pg_upgrade
option to allow user control of that, but I'm unsure that it's worth
the trouble; I think few users would use it, and any who did would see
not that much benefit compared to the default.
Patch by me, but the original idea to batch SQL commands during
restore is due to Robins Tharakan.

Allow use of BeginInternalSubTransaction() in parallel mode, so long
as the subtransaction doesn't attempt to acquire an XID or increment
the command counter. Given those restrictions, the other parallel
processes don't need to know about the subtransaction at all, so
this should be safe. The benefit is that it allows subtransactions
intended for error recovery, such as pl/pgsql exception blocks,
to be used in PARALLEL SAFE functions.
Another reason for doing this is that the API of
BeginInternalSubTransaction() doesn't allow reporting failure.
pl/python for one, and perhaps other PLs, copes very poorly with an
error longjmp out of BeginInternalSubTransaction(). The headline
feature of this patch removes the only easily-triggerable failure
case within that function. There remain some resource-exhaustion
and similar cases, which we now deal with by promoting them to FATAL
errors, so that callers need not try to clean up. (It is likely
that such errors would leave us with corrupted transaction state
inside xact.c, making recovery difficult if not impossible anyway.)
Although this work started because of a report of a pl/python crash,
we're not going to do anything about that in the back branches.
Back-patching this particular fix is obviously not very wise.
While we could contemplate some narrower band-aid, pl/python is
already an untrusted language, so it seems okay to classify this
as a "so don't do that" case.

set to 0 whenever a slot is made active/acquired and set to the current
timestamp whenever the slot is inactive/released or restored from the disk.
Note that we don't set the last_inactive_time for the slots currently being

inactive as decoding is not allowed on those.
The 'last_inactive_time' will be useful on production servers to debug and
analyze inactive replication slots. It will also help to know the lifetime
of a replication slot - one can know how long a streaming standby, logical
subscriber, or replication slot consumer is down.

directly in pg_replication_slots. A recent commit 007693f2a3 added

reverting commit 007693f2a3). The 'conflicting' column is true for
invalidation reasons 'rows_removed' and 'wal_level_insufficient' because
those make the slot conflict with recovery. When 'conflicting' is true,
one can now look at the new 'invalidation_reason' column for the reason
for the logical slot's conflict with recovery.
The new 'invalidation_reason' column will also be useful to track other

HOT updates have occurred, so it's not describing a benefit of HOT.
If it meant the latter, it was wrong because HOT doesn't allow
reclaiming the root tuple's line pointer.
This section does seems like it's intended to be more of an
informal introduction to HOT than a precise technical description
of every detail of how it works, but we still don't want it to
say things that are just not true, so update the text enough
to avoid that.
Patch by me, reviewed by James Coleman (although he would have
preferred more extensive changes) and Shubham Khanna.

This introduces the following SQL/JSON functions for querying JSON
data using jsonpath expressions:
JSON_EXISTS(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to check if it yields any values.
JSON_QUERY(), which can be used to to apply a jsonpath expression to
a JSON value to get a JSON object, an array, or a string. There are
various options to control whether multi-value result uses array
wrappers and whether the singleton scalar strings are quoted or not.
JSON_VALUE(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to return a single scalar value, producing an error if it
multiple values are matched.
Both JSON_VALUE() and JSON_QUERY() functions have options for
handling EMPTY and ERROR conditions, which can be used to specify
the behavior when no values are matched and when an error occurs
during jsonpath evaluation, respectively.

Commit cca97ce6a6 allowed dbname in pg_basebackup connstring and in this
commit we allow it to be written in postgresql.auto.conf when -R option is
used. The database name in the connection string will be used by the
logical replication slot synchronization on standby.
The dbname will be recorded only if specified explicitly in the connection
string or environment variable.
Masahiko Sawada hasn't reviewed the code in detail but endorsed the idea.

In combination with to_regtype, this allows converting a string to
the "canonicalized" form emitted by format_type. That usage requires
parsing the string twice, which is slightly annoying but not really
too expensive. We considered alternatives such as returning a record
type, but that way was notationally uglier than this, and possibly
less flexible.
Like to_regtype(), we'd rather that this return NULL for any bad
input, but the underlying type-parsing logic isn't yet capable of
not throwing syntax errors. Adjust the documentation for both
functions to point that out.
In passing, fix up a couple of nearby entries in the System Catalog
Information Functions table that had not gotten the word about our
since-v13 convention for displaying function usage examples.

The builtin C.UTF-8 locale has similar semantics to the libc locale of
the same name. That is, code point sort order (fast, memcmp-based)
combined with Unicode semantics for character operations such as
pattern matching, regular expressions, and
LOWER()/INITCAP()/UPPER(). The character semantics are based on
Unicode simple case mappings.
The builtin provider's C.UTF-8 offers several important advantages
over libc:
* faster sorting -- benefits from additional optimizations such as
abbreviated keys and varstrfastcmp_c
* faster case conversion, e.g. LOWER(), at least compared with some
libc implementations
* available on all platforms with identical semantics, and the
semantics are stable, testable, and documentable within a given
Postgres major version
Being based on memcmp, the builtin C.UTF-8 locale does not offer
natural language sort order. But it is an improvement for most use
cases that might otherwise use libc's "C.UTF-8" locale, as well as
many use cases that use libc's "C" locale.

Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)",
which is pretty uninformative. Trying to reproduce the original SQL
for the subquery is still as impractical as before, and would be
mighty verbose as well. However, we can still do better than that.
Displaying the "testexpr" when present, and adding a keyword to
indicate the SubLinkType, goes a long way toward showing what's
really going on.
In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent
subplan and initplan output Params. Instead we now print "(SubPlan
N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column
of that subplan. This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to
represent PARAM_EXTERN Params, and it's useful for the first part of
this change because it eliminates needing some other indication of
which subplan is referenced by a SubPlan that has a testexpr.
In passing, this adds simple regression test coverage of the
ROWCOMPARE_SUBLINK code paths, which were entirely unburdened
by testing before.

Based on comments from Peter Eisentraut.
* Document CREATE DATABASE ... BUILTIN_LOCALE.
* Determine required encoding based on locale name for CREATE
COLLATION. Use -1 for "C" (requires catversion bump).
* initdb output fixups.
* Make ctype_is_c a constant true for now.
* Fixups to ICU 010_create_database.pl test.

This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to
return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with
plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are
based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE
actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the
source relation may also be returned.
As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be
used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries
and COPY commands.
Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which
returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action
executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used
anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and
subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE
query's RETURNING list.
