Tom Lane	86d911ec0f	Allow index AMs to cache data across aminsert calls within a SQL command. ... It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls. This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call. (The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache, so there's little to improve there.) For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two. In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated catalog lookups are vastly more expensive. The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert. That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

Robert Haas	fa0f466d53	Log the creation of an init fork unconditionally. ... Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the benefit of possible standbys, so wal_level = minimal skipped it. But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively removes the directory that contains the new init fork. So log it always. The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database or tablespace, then create an unlogged table, then crash without checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because the it won't have been properly reset. This commit fixes that. Michael Paquier, per a report from Konstantin Knizhnik. Wording of the comments per a suggestion from me.	9 years ago
Tom Lane	ea268cdc9a	Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer. ... I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>	9 years ago
Tom Lane	d6c9e05cb7	Fix assorted bugs in contrib/bloom. ... In blinsert(), cope with the possibility that a page we pull from the notFullPage list is marked BLOOM_DELETED. This could happen if VACUUM recently marked it deleted but hasn't (yet) updated the metapage. We can re-use such a page safely, but we *must* reinitialize it so that it's no longer marked deleted. Fix blvacuum() so that it updates the notFullPage list even if it's going to update it to empty. The previous "optimization" of skipping the update seems pretty dubious, since it means that the next blinsert() will uselessly visit whatever pages we left in the list. Uniformly treat PageIsNew pages the same as deleted pages. This should allow proper recovery if a crash occurs just after relation extension. Properly use vacuum_delay_point, not assorted ad-hoc CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, in the blvacuum() main loop. Fix broken tuple-counting logic: blvacuum.c counted the number of live index tuples over again in each scan, leading to VACUUM VERBOSE reporting some multiple of the actual number of surviving index tuples after any vacuum that removed any tuples (since they'd be counted in blvacuum, maybe more than once, and then again in blvacuumcleanup, without ever zeroing the counter). It's sufficient to count them in blvacuumcleanup. stats->estimated_count is a boolean, not a counter, and we don't want to set it true, so don't add tuple counts to it. Add a couple of Asserts that we don't overrun available space on a bloom page. I don't think there's any bug there today, but the way the FreeBlockNumberArray size calculation is set up is scarily fragile, and BloomPageGetFreeSpace isn't much better. The Asserts should help catch any future mistakes. Per investigation of a report from Jeff Janes. I think the first item above may explain his report; the other changes were things I noticed while casting about for an explanation.

Tom Lane	abaffa9075	Fix contrib/bloom to work for unlogged indexes. ... blbuildempty did not do even approximately the right thing: it tried to add a metapage to the relation's regular data fork, which already has one at that point. It should look like the ambuildempty methods for all the standard index types, ie, initialize a metapage image in some transient storage and then write it directly to the init fork. To support that, refactor BloomInitMetapage into two functions. In passing, fix BloomInitMetapage so it doesn't leave the rd_options field of the index's relcache entry pointing at transient storage. I'm not sure this had any visible consequence, since nothing much else is likely to look at a bloom index's rd_options, but it's certainly poor practice. Per bug #14155 from Zhou Digoal.

Kevin Grittner	a343e223a5	Revert no-op changes to BufferGetPage() ... The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions. This change should have little or no effect on generated executable code. Motivated by the back-patching pain of Tom Lane and Robert Haas	10 years ago
Tom Lane	5713f03973	Improve API of GenericXLogRegister(). ... Rename this function to GenericXLogRegisterBuffer() to make it clearer what it does, and leave room for other sorts of "register" actions in future. Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API break. Alexander Korotkov, adjusted slightly by me	10 years ago
Tom Lane	80cf18910c	Get rid of blinsert()'s use of GenericXLogUnregister(). ... That routine is dangerous, and unnecessary once we get rid of this one caller. In passing, fix failure to clean up temp memory context, or switch back to caller's context, during slowest exit path.	10 years ago
Kevin Grittner	8b65cf4c5e	Modify BufferGetPage() to prepare for "snapshot too old" feature ... This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation, and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test needs to be made.	10 years ago
Tom Lane	a9284849b4	Clean up some stuff in new contrib/bloom module. ... Coverity complained about implicit sign-extension in the BloomPageGetFreeSpace macro, probably because sizeOfBloomTuple isn't wide enough for size calculations. No overflow is really possible as long as maxoff and sizeOfBloomTuple are small enough to represent a realistic situation, but it seems like a good idea to declare sizeOfBloomTuple as Size not int32. Add missing check on BloomPageAddItem() result, again from Coverity. Avoid core dump due to not allocating so->sign array when scan->numberOfKeys is zero. Also thanks to Coverity. Use FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER rather than declaring an array as size 1 when it isn't necessarily. Very minor beautification of related code. Unfortunately, none of the Coverity-detected mistakes look like they could account for the remaining buildfarm unhappiness with this module. It's barely possible that the FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER mistake does account for that, if it's enabling bogus compiler optimizations; but I'm not terribly optimistic. We probably still have bugs to find here.	10 years ago
Teodor Sigaev	9ee014fc89	Bloom index contrib module ... Module provides new access method. It is actually a simple Bloom filter implemented as pgsql's index. It could give some benefits on search with large number of columns. Module is a single way to test generic WAL interface committed earlier.
