Teodor Sigaev	1671c01650	Remove repeated test in contrib/amcheck ... Repeating these tests adds unnecessary cycles, since no improvement in test coverage is expected. Cleanup from commit 8224de4f42. Peter Geoghegan	8 years ago
Teodor Sigaev	8224de4f42	Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-tree ... This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans. Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause. In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples (tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation. The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special handling of B-tree indexes for that.

Andres Freund	7f563c09f8	Add amcheck verification of heap relations belonging to btree indexes. ... Add a new, optional, capability to bt_index_check() and bt_index_parent_check(): check that each heap tuple that should have an index entry does in fact have one. The extra checking is performed at the end of the existing nbtree checks. This is implemented by using a Bloom filter data structure. The implementation performs set membership tests within a callback (the same type of callback that each index AM registers for CREATE INDEX). The Bloom filter is populated during the initial index verification scan. Reusing the CREATE INDEX infrastructure allows the new verification option to automatically benefit from the heap consistency checks that CREATE INDEX already performs. CREATE INDEX does thorough sanity checking of HOT chains, so the new check actually manages to detect problems in heap-only tuples.

Andres Freund	7150402655	amcheck: Harden tests against concurrent autovacuums. ... The previous coding of the test was vulnerable against autovacuum triggering work on one of the tables in check_btree.sql. For the purpose of the test it's entirely sufficient to check for locks taken by the current process, so add an appropriate restriction. While touching the test, expand it to also check for locks on the underlying relations, rather than just the indexes.

Andres Freund	3717dc149e	Add amcheck extension to contrib. ... This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to verify B-Tree indexes. This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details. The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch" functions that cover multiple access methods.
