Etsuro Fujita	aa769f80ed	postgres_fdw: Fix issues with generated columns in foreign tables. ... postgres_fdw imported generated columns from the remote tables as plain columns, and caused failures like "ERROR: cannot insert a non-DEFAULT value into column "foo"" when inserting into the foreign tables, as it tried to insert values into the generated columns. To fix, we do the following under the assumption that generated columns in a postgres_fdw foreign table are defined so that they represent generated columns in the underlying remote table: * Send DEFAULT for the generated columns to the foreign server on insert or update, not generated column values computed on the local server. * Add to postgresImportForeignSchema() an option "import_generated" to include column generated expressions in the definitions of foreign tables imported from a foreign server. The option is true by default. The assumption seems reasonable, because that would make a query of the postgres_fdw foreign table return values for the generated columns that are consistent with the generated expression. While here, fix another issue in postgresImportForeignSchema(): it tried to include column generated expressions as column default expressions in the foreign table definitions when the import_default option was enabled. Per bug #16631 from Daniel Cherniy. Back-patch to v12 where generated columns were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16631-e929fe9db0ffc7cf%40postgresql.org	4 years ago
Tom Lane	5d44fff01e	In postgres_fdw, allow CASE expressions to be pushed to the remote server. ... This is simple enough except for the need to check whether CaseTestExpr nodes have a collation that is not derived from a remote Var. For that, examine the CASE's "arg" expression and then pass that info down into the recursive examination of the WHEN expressions.

Etsuro Fujita	1ec7fca859	postgres_fdw: Fix handling of pending asynchronous requests. ... A pending asynchronous request is handled by process_pending_request(), which previously not only processed an in-progress remote query but performed ExecForeignScan() to produce a tuple to return to the local server asynchronously from the result of the remote query. But that led to a server crash when executing a query or led to an "InstrStartNode called twice in a row" or "InstrEndLoop called on running node" failure when doing EXPLAIN ANALYZE of it, in cases where the plan tree for it contained multiple async-capable nodes accessing the same initplan/subplan that contained multiple async-capable nodes scanning the same foreign tables as for the parent async-capable nodes, as reported by Andrey Lepikhov. The reason is that the second step in process_pending_request() invoked when executing the initplan/subplan for one of the parent async-capable nodes caused recursive execution of the initplan/subplan for another of the parent async-capable nodes. To fix, split process_pending_request() into the two steps and postpone the second step until ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() is called for each of the pending asynchronous requests. Also, in ExecAppendAsyncEventWait() we assumed that FDWs would register at least one wait event in a WaitEventSet created there when they were called from ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() in that function, but allow FDWs to register zero wait events in the WaitEventSet; modify ExecAppendAsyncEventWait() to just return in that case. Oversight in commit 27e1f1456. Back-patch to v14 where that commit went in.

Fujii Masao	d854720df6	postgres_fdw: Tighten up allowed values for batch_size, fetch_size options. ... Previously the values such as '100$%$#$#', '9,223,372,' were accepted and treated as valid integers for postgres_fdw options batch_size and fetch_size. Whereas this is not the case with fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options for which an error is thrown. This was because endptr was not used while converting strings to integers using strtol. This commit changes the logic so that it uses parse_int function instead of strtol as it serves the purpose by returning false in case if it is unable to convert the string to integer. Note that this function also rounds off the values such as '100.456' to 100 and '100.567' or '100.678' to 101. While on this, use parse_real for fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options. Since parse_int and parse_real are being used for reloptions and GUCs, it is more appropriate to use in postgres_fdw rather than using strtol and strtod directly. Back-patch to v14.

Tom Lane	c7b7311f61	Avoid doing catalog lookups in postgres_fdw's conversion_error_callback. ... As in 50371df26, this is a bad idea since the callback can't really know what error is being thrown and thus whether or not it is safe to attempt catalog accesses. Rather than pushing said accesses into the mainline code where they'd usually be a waste of cycles, we can look at the query's rangetable instead. This change does mean that we'll be printing query aliases (if any were used) rather than the table or column's true name. But that doesn't seem like a bad thing: it's certainly a more useful definition in self-join cases, for instance. In any case, it seems unlikely that any applications would be depending on this detail, so it seems safe to change. Patch by me.

Tom Lane	8021770909	Further stabilize postgres_fdw test. ... The queries involving ft1_nopw don't stably return the same row anymore. I surmise that an autovacuum hitting "S 1"."T 1" right after the updates introduced by f61db909d/5843659d0 freed some space, changing where subsequent insertions get stored. It's only by good luck that these results were stable before, though, since a LIMIT without ORDER BY isn't well defined, and it's not like we've ever treated that table as append-only in this test script.

Tom Lane	5843659d09	Stabilize test case added by commit f61db909d. ... Buildfarm members ayu and tern have sometimes shown a different plan than expected for this query. I'd been unable to reproduce that before today, but I finally realized what is happening. If there is a concurrent open transaction (probably an autovacuum run in the buildfarm, but this can also be arranged manually), then the index entries for the rows removed by the DELETE a few lines up are not killed promptly, causing a change in the planner's estimate of the extremal value of ft2.c1, which moves the rowcount estimate for "c1 > 1100" by enough to change the join plan from nestloop to hash. To fix, change the query condition to "c1 > 1000", causing the hash plan to be preferred whether or not a concurrent open transaction exists. Since this UPDATE is tailored to be a no-op, nothing else changes.

Tomas Vondra	99cea49d65	Fix copying data into slots with FDW batching ... Commit b676ac443b optimized handling of tuple slots with bulk inserts into foreign tables, so that the slots are initialized only once and reused for all batches. The data was however copied into the slots only after the initialization, inserting duplicate values when the slot gets reused. Fixed by moving the ExecCopySlot outside the init branch. The existing postgres_fdw tests failed to catch this due to inserting data into foreign tables without unique indexes, and then checking only the number of inserted rows. This adds a new test with both a unique index and a check of inserted values.

Tomas Vondra	cb92703384	Adjust batch size in postgres_fdw to not use too many parameters ... The FE/BE protocol identifies parameters with an Int16 index, which limits the maximum number of parameters per query to 65535. With batching added to postges_fdw this limit is much easier to hit, as the whole batch is essentially a single query, making this error much easier to hit. The failures are a bit unpredictable, because it also depends on the number of columns in the query. So instead of just failing, this patch tweaks the batch_size to not exceed the maximum number of parameters.

In cases where run-time pruning isn't required, the synchronous and asynchronous subplans for an async-aware Append node determined using classify_matching_subplans() should be re-used when rescanning the node, but the previous code re-determined them using that function repeatedly each time when rescanning the node, leading to incorrect results in a normal build and an Assert failure in an Assert-enabled build as that function doesn't assume that it's called repeatedly in such cases. Fix the code as mentioned above. My oversight in commit 27e1f1456.

Tom Lane	f61db909df	Fix postgres_fdw failure with whole-row Vars of type RECORD. ... Commit 86dc90056 expects that FDWs can cope with whole-row Vars for their tables, even if the Vars are marked with vartype RECORDOID. Previously, whole-row Vars generated by the planner had vartype equal to the relevant table's rowtype OID. (The point behind this change is to enable sharing of resjunk columns across inheritance child tables.) It turns out that postgres_fdw fails to cope with this, though through bad fortune none of its test cases exposed that. Things mostly work, but when we try to read back a value of such a Var, the expected rowtype is not available to record_in(). Fortunately, it's not difficult to hack up the tupdesc that controls this process to substitute the foreign table's rowtype for RECORDOID. Thus we can solve the runtime problem while still sharing the resjunk column with other tables. Per report from Alexander Pyhalov.

Etsuro Fujita	a363bc6da9	Fix EXPLAIN ANALYZE for async-capable nodes. ... EXPLAIN ANALYZE for an async-capable ForeignScan node associated with postgres_fdw is done just by using instrumentation for ExecProcNode() called from the node's callbacks, causing the following problems: 1) If the remote table to scan is empty, the node is incorrectly considered as "never executed" by the command even if the node is executed, as ExecProcNode() isn't called from the node's callbacks at all in that case. 2) The command fails to collect timings for things other than ExecProcNode() done in the node, such as creating a cursor for the node's remote query. To fix these problems, add instrumentation for async-capable nodes, and modify postgres_fdw accordingly. My oversight in commit 27e1f1456.

Tom Lane	1273a15bf9	Disable cache clobber to avoid breaking postgres_fdw termination test. ... Commit 93f414614 improved a pre-existing test case so that it would show whether or not termination of the "remote" worker process happened. This soon exposed that, when debug_invalidate_system_caches_always (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) is enabled, no such termination occurs. That's because cache invalidation forces postgres_fdw connections to be dropped at end of transaction, so that there's no worker to terminate. There's a race condition as to whether the worker will manage to get out of the BackendStatusArray before we look, but at least on buildfarm member hyrax, it's failed twice in two attempts. Rather than re-lobotomizing the test, let's fix this by transiently disabling debug_invalidate_system_caches_always. (Hooray for that being just a GUC nowadays, rather than a compile-time option.) If this proves not to be enough to make the test stable, we can do the other thing instead. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3854538.1620081771@sss.pgh.pa.us	4 years ago
Fujii Masao	8e9ea08bae	Don't pass "ONLY" options specified in TRUNCATE to foreign data wrapper. ... Commit 8ff1c94649 allowed TRUNCATE command to truncate foreign tables. Previously the information about "ONLY" options specified in TRUNCATE command were passed to the foreign data wrapper. Then postgres_fdw constructed the TRUNCATE command to issue the remote server and included "ONLY" options in it based on the passed information. On the other hand, "ONLY" options specified in SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE have no effect when accessing or modifying the remote table, i.e., are not passed to the foreign data wrapper. So it's inconsistent to make only TRUNCATE command pass the "ONLY" options to the foreign data wrapper. Therefore this commit changes the TRUNCATE command so that it doesn't pass the "ONLY" options to the foreign data wrapper, for the consistency with other statements.

Michael Paquier	93f4146144	Simplify tests of postgres_fdw terminating connections ... The tests introduced in 32a9c0b for connections broken and re-established rely on pg_terminate_backend() for their logic. When these were introduced, this function simply sent a signal to a backend without waiting for the operation to complete, and the tests repeatedly looked at pg_stat_activity to check if the operation was completed or not. Since aaf0432, it is possible to define a timeout to make pg_terminate_backend() wait for a certain duration, so make use of it, with a timeout reasonably large enough (3min) to give enough room for the tests to pass even on slow machines. Some measurements show that the tests of postgres_fdw are much faster with this change. For example, on my laptop, they now take 4s instead of 6s.

Also it extends postgres_fdw so that it can issue TRUNCATE command to foreign servers, by adding new routine for that TRUNCATE API. The information about options specified in TRUNCATE command, e.g., ONLY, CACADE, etc is passed to FDW via API. The list of foreign tables to truncate is also passed to FDW. FDW truncates the foreign data sources that the passed foreign tables specify, based on those information. For example, postgres_fdw constructs TRUNCATE command using them and issues it to the foreign server. For performance, TRUNCATE command invokes the FDW routine for TRUNCATE once per foreign server that foreign tables to truncate belong to.

David Rowley	9eacee2e62	Add Result Cache executor node (take 2) ... Here we add a new executor node type named "Result Cache". The planner can include this node type in the plan to have the executor cache the results from the inner side of parameterized nested loop joins. This allows caching of tuples for sets of parameters so that in the event that the node sees the same parameter values again, it can just return the cached tuples instead of rescanning the inner side of the join all over again. Internally, result cache uses a hash table in order to quickly find tuples that have been previously cached. For certain data sets, this can significantly improve the performance of joins. The best cases for using this new node type are for join problems where a large portion of the tuples from the inner side of the join have no join partner on the outer side of the join. In such cases, hash join would have to hash values that are never looked up, thus bloating the hash table and possibly causing it to multi-batch. Merge joins would have to skip over all of the unmatched rows. If we use a nested loop join with a result cache, then we only cache tuples that have at least one join partner on the outer side of the join. The benefits of using a parameterized nested loop with a result cache increase when there are fewer distinct values being looked up and the number of lookups of each value is large. Also, hash probes to lookup the cache can be much faster than the hash probe in a hash join as it's common that the result cache's hash table is much smaller than the hash join's due to result cache only caching useful tuples rather than all tuples from the inner side of the join. This variation in hash probe performance is more significant when the hash join's hash table no longer fits into the CPU's L3 cache, but the result cache's hash table does. The apparent "random" access of hash buckets with each hash probe can cause a poor L3 cache hit ratio for large hash tables. Smaller hash tables generally perform better. The hash table used for the cache limits itself to not exceeding work_mem * hash_mem_multiplier in size. We maintain a dlist of keys for this cache and when we're adding new tuples and realize we've exceeded the memory budget, we evict cache entries starting with the least recently used ones until we have enough memory to add the new tuples to the cache. For parameterized nested loop joins, we now consider using one of these result cache nodes in between the nested loop node and its inner node. We determine when this might be useful based on cost, which is primarily driven off of what the expected cache hit ratio will be. Estimating the cache hit ratio relies on having good distinct estimates on the nested loop's parameters. For now, the planner will only consider using a result cache for parameterized nested loop joins. This works for both normal joins and also for LATERAL type joins to subqueries. It is possible to use this new node for other uses in the future. For example, to cache results from correlated subqueries. However, that's not done here due to some difficulties obtaining a distinct estimation on the outer plan to calculate the estimated cache hit ratio. Currently we plan the inner plan before planning the outer plan so there is no good way to know if a result cache would be useful or not since we can't estimate the number of times the subplan will be called until the outer plan is generated. The functionality being added here is newly introducing a dependency on the return value of estimate_num_groups() during the join search. Previously, during the join search, we only ever needed to perform selectivity estimations. With this commit, we need to use estimate_num_groups() in order to estimate what the hit ratio on the result cache will be. In simple terms, if we expect 10 distinct values and we expect 1000 outer rows, then we'll estimate the hit ratio to be 99%. Since cache hits are very cheap compared to scanning the underlying nodes on the inner side of the nested loop join, then this will significantly reduce the planner's cost for the join. However, it's fairly easy to see here that things will go bad when estimate_num_groups() incorrectly returns a value that's significantly lower than the actual number of distinct values. If this happens then that may cause us to make use of a nested loop join with a result cache instead of some other join type, such as a merge or hash join. Our distinct estimations have been known to be a source of trouble in the past, so the extra reliance on them here could cause the planner to choose slower plans than it did previous to having this feature. Distinct estimations are also fairly hard to estimate accurately when several tables have been joined already or when a WHERE clause filters out a set of values that are correlated to the expressions we're estimating the number of distinct value for. For now, the costing we perform during query planning for result caches does put quite a bit of faith in the distinct estimations being accurate. When these are accurate then we should generally see faster execution times for plans containing a result cache. However, in the real world, we may find that we need to either change the costings to put less trust in the distinct estimations being accurate or perhaps even disable this feature by default. There's always an element of risk when we teach the query planner to do new tricks that it decides to use that new trick at the wrong time and causes a regression. Users may opt to get the old behavior by turning the feature off using the enable_resultcache GUC. Currently, this is enabled by default. It remains to be seen if we'll maintain that setting for the release. Additionally, the name "Result Cache" is the best name I could think of for this new node at the time I started writing the patch. Nobody seems to strongly dislike the name. A few people did suggest other names but no other name seemed to dominate in the brief discussion that there was about names. Let's allow the beta period to see if the current name pleases enough people. If there's some consensus on a better name, then we can change it before the release.

It seems that something weird is going on with the tracking of cache hits and misses as highlighted by many buildfarm animals. It's not yet clear what the problem is as other parts of the plan indicate that the cache did work correctly, it's just the hits and misses that were being reported as 0. This is especially a bad time to have the buildfarm so broken, so reverting before too many more animals go red.

David Rowley	b6002a796d	Add Result Cache executor node ... Here we add a new executor node type named "Result Cache". The planner can include this node type in the plan to have the executor cache the results from the inner side of parameterized nested loop joins. This allows caching of tuples for sets of parameters so that in the event that the node sees the same parameter values again, it can just return the cached tuples instead of rescanning the inner side of the join all over again. Internally, result cache uses a hash table in order to quickly find tuples that have been previously cached. For certain data sets, this can significantly improve the performance of joins. The best cases for using this new node type are for join problems where a large portion of the tuples from the inner side of the join have no join partner on the outer side of the join. In such cases, hash join would have to hash values that are never looked up, thus bloating the hash table and possibly causing it to multi-batch. Merge joins would have to skip over all of the unmatched rows. If we use a nested loop join with a result cache, then we only cache tuples that have at least one join partner on the outer side of the join. The benefits of using a parameterized nested loop with a result cache increase when there are fewer distinct values being looked up and the number of lookups of each value is large. Also, hash probes to lookup the cache can be much faster than the hash probe in a hash join as it's common that the result cache's hash table is much smaller than the hash join's due to result cache only caching useful tuples rather than all tuples from the inner side of the join. This variation in hash probe performance is more significant when the hash join's hash table no longer fits into the CPU's L3 cache, but the result cache's hash table does. The apparent "random" access of hash buckets with each hash probe can cause a poor L3 cache hit ratio for large hash tables. Smaller hash tables generally perform better. The hash table used for the cache limits itself to not exceeding work_mem * hash_mem_multiplier in size. We maintain a dlist of keys for this cache and when we're adding new tuples and realize we've exceeded the memory budget, we evict cache entries starting with the least recently used ones until we have enough memory to add the new tuples to the cache. For parameterized nested loop joins, we now consider using one of these result cache nodes in between the nested loop node and its inner node. We determine when this might be useful based on cost, which is primarily driven off of what the expected cache hit ratio will be. Estimating the cache hit ratio relies on having good distinct estimates on the nested loop's parameters. For now, the planner will only consider using a result cache for parameterized nested loop joins. This works for both normal joins and also for LATERAL type joins to subqueries. It is possible to use this new node for other uses in the future. For example, to cache results from correlated subqueries. However, that's not done here due to some difficulties obtaining a distinct estimation on the outer plan to calculate the estimated cache hit ratio. Currently we plan the inner plan before planning the outer plan so there is no good way to know if a result cache would be useful or not since we can't estimate the number of times the subplan will be called until the outer plan is generated. The functionality being added here is newly introducing a dependency on the return value of estimate_num_groups() during the join search. Previously, during the join search, we only ever needed to perform selectivity estimations. With this commit, we need to use estimate_num_groups() in order to estimate what the hit ratio on the result cache will be. In simple terms, if we expect 10 distinct values and we expect 1000 outer rows, then we'll estimate the hit ratio to be 99%. Since cache hits are very cheap compared to scanning the underlying nodes on the inner side of the nested loop join, then this will significantly reduce the planner's cost for the join. However, it's fairly easy to see here that things will go bad when estimate_num_groups() incorrectly returns a value that's significantly lower than the actual number of distinct values. If this happens then that may cause us to make use of a nested loop join with a result cache instead of some other join type, such as a merge or hash join. Our distinct estimations have been known to be a source of trouble in the past, so the extra reliance on them here could cause the planner to choose slower plans than it did previous to having this feature. Distinct estimations are also fairly hard to estimate accurately when several tables have been joined already or when a WHERE clause filters out a set of values that are correlated to the expressions we're estimating the number of distinct value for. For now, the costing we perform during query planning for result caches does put quite a bit of faith in the distinct estimations being accurate. When these are accurate then we should generally see faster execution times for plans containing a result cache. However, in the real world, we may find that we need to either change the costings to put less trust in the distinct estimations being accurate or perhaps even disable this feature by default. There's always an element of risk when we teach the query planner to do new tricks that it decides to use that new trick at the wrong time and causes a regression. Users may opt to get the old behavior by turning the feature off using the enable_resultcache GUC. Currently, this is enabled by default. It remains to be seen if we'll maintain that setting for the release. Additionally, the name "Result Cache" is the best name I could think of for this new node at the time I started writing the patch. Nobody seems to strongly dislike the name. A few people did suggest other names but no other name seemed to dominate in the brief discussion that there was about names. Let's allow the beta period to see if the current name pleases enough people. If there's some consensus on a better name, then we can change it before the release. Please see the 2nd discussion link below for the discussion on the "Result Cache" name.

Tom Lane	86dc90056d	Rework planning and execution of UPDATE and DELETE. ... This patch makes two closely related sets of changes: 1. For UPDATE, the subplan of the ModifyTable node now only delivers the new values of the changed columns (i.e., the expressions computed in the query's SET clause) plus row identity information such as CTID. ModifyTable must re-fetch the original tuple to merge in the old values of any unchanged columns. The core advantage of this is that the changed columns are uniform across all tables of an inherited or partitioned target relation, whereas the other columns might not be. A secondary advantage, when the UPDATE involves joins, is that less data needs to pass through the plan tree. The disadvantage of course is an extra fetch of each tuple to be updated. However, that seems to be very nearly free in context; even worst-case tests don't show it to add more than a couple percent to the total query cost. At some point it might be interesting to combine the re-fetch with the tuple access that ModifyTable must do anyway to mark the old tuple dead; but that would require a good deal of refactoring and it seems it wouldn't buy all that much, so this patch doesn't attempt it. 2. For inherited UPDATE/DELETE, instead of generating a separate subplan for each target relation, we now generate a single subplan that is just exactly like a SELECT's plan, then stick ModifyTable on top of that. To let ModifyTable know which target relation a given incoming row refers to, a tableoid junk column is added to the row identity information. This gets rid of the horrid hack that was inheritance_planner(), eliminating O(N^2) planning cost and memory consumption in cases where there were many unprunable target relations. Point 2 of course requires point 1, so that there is a uniform definition of the non-junk columns to be returned by the subplan. We can't insist on uniform definition of the row identity junk columns however, if we want to keep the ability to have both plain and foreign tables in a partitioning hierarchy. Since it wouldn't scale very far to have every child table have its own row identity column, this patch includes provisions to merge similar row identity columns into one column of the subplan result. In particular, we can merge the whole-row Vars typically used as row identity by FDWs into one column by pretending they are type RECORD. (It's still okay for the actual composite Datums to be labeled with the table's rowtype OID, though.) There is more that can be done to file down residual inefficiencies in this patch, but it seems to be committable now. FDW authors should note several API changes: * The argument list for AddForeignUpdateTargets() has changed, and so has the method it must use for adding junk columns to the query. Call add_row_identity_var() instead of manipulating the parse tree directly. You might want to reconsider exactly what you're adding, too. * PlanDirectModify() must now work a little harder to find the ForeignScan plan node; if the foreign table is part of a partitioning hierarchy then the ForeignScan might not be the direct child of ModifyTable. See postgres_fdw for sample code. * To check whether a relation is a target relation, it's no longer sufficient to compare its relid to root->parse->resultRelation. Instead, check it against all_result_relids or leaf_result_relids, as appropriate.

Etsuro Fujita	27e1f14563	Add support for asynchronous execution. ... This implements asynchronous execution, which runs multiple parts of a non-parallel-aware Append concurrently rather than serially to improve performance when possible. Currently, the only node type that can be run concurrently is a ForeignScan that is an immediate child of such an Append. In the case where such ForeignScans access data on different remote servers, this would run those ForeignScans concurrently, and overlap the remote operations to be performed simultaneously, so it'll improve the performance especially when the operations involve time-consuming ones such as remote join and remote aggregation. We may extend this to other node types such as joins or aggregates over ForeignScans in the future. This also adds the support for postgres_fdw, which is enabled by the table-level/server-level option "async_capable". The default is false. Robert Haas, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Thomas Munro, and myself.

Fujii Masao	f77717b298	postgres_fdw: Fix tests for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. ... The regression tests added in commits 708d165ddb and 411ae64997 caused buildfarm failures when CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled. This commit stabilizes those tests. The foreign server connections established by postgres_fdw behaves differently depending on whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is enabled or not. If it's not enabled, those connections are cached. On the other hand, if it's enabled, when the connections are established outside transaction block, they are not cached (i.e., they are immediately closed at the end of query that established them). So the subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections() cannot list those connections and postgres_fdw_disconnect() cannot close them (because they are already closed). When the connections are established inside transaction block, they are cached whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled or not. But if it's enabled, they are immediately marked as invalid, otherwise not. This causes the subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections() to return different result in "valid" column depending on whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled or not.

Michael Paquier	a6642b3ae0	Add support for partitioned tables and indexes in REINDEX ... Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one. This extends REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned tables and indexes are then discarded). This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of relations to work on. This choice has the advantage to minimize the number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from the partition being working on. Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a leaf partition reindexed. However, this is rather limited as LOCK would cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of partitions. Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.
