This commit represents a rather heavily editorialized version of
Teodor's builtin_knngist_itself-0.8.2 and builtin_knngist_proc-0.8.1
patches. I redid the opclass API to add a separate Distance method
instead of turning the Consistent method into an illogical mess,
fixed some bit-rot in the rbtree interfaces, and generally worked over
the code style and comments.
There's still no non-code documentation to speak of, but I'll work on
that separately. Some contrib-module changes are also yet to come
(right now, point <-> point is the only KNN-ified operator).

This eliminates some crufty, special-purpose code and, as a non-trivial
side benefit, allows recovery.conf parameters to be unquoted.
Dimitri Fontaine, with review and cleanup by Alvaro Herrera, Itagaki
Takahiro, and me.
This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The
ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would
have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner.
Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and
execution.
Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed
anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit.
RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call;
instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from
making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the
advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are
runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values
passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can.

to make it easier to reuse that code. There is no user-visible changes.
This is in preparation for the patch to add a new archive format, a directory,
to perform a custom-like dump but with each table being dumped to a separate
file (that in turn is a prerequisite for parallel pg_dump). This also makes it
easier to add new compression methods in the future, and makes the
pg_backup_custom.c code easier to read, when the compression-related code is
factored out.
Joachim Wieland, with heavy editorialization by me.
There were corner cases in which the planner would attempt to inline such
a function, which would result in a failure at runtime due to loss of
information about exactly what the result record type is. Fix by disabling
inlining when the function's recorded result type is RECORD. There might
be some sub-cases where inlining could still be allowed, but this is a
simple and backpatchable fix, so leave refinements for another day.
Per bug #5777 from Nate Carson.
Back-patch to all supported branches. 8.1 happens to avoid a core-dump
here, but it still does the wrong thing.
Formerly we looked up the operators associated with each index (caching
them in relcache) and then the planner looked up the btree opfamily
containing such operators in order to build the btree-centric pathkey
representation that describes the index's sort order. This is quite
pointless for btree indexes: we might as well just use the index's opfamily
information directly. That saves syscache lookup cycles during planning,
and furthermore allows us to eliminate the relcache's caching of operators
altogether, which may help in reducing backend startup time.
I added code to plancat.c to perform the same type of double lookup
on-the-fly if it's ever faced with a non-btree amcanorder index AM.
If such a thing actually becomes interesting for production, we should
replace that logic with some more-direct method for identifying the
corresponding btree opfamily; but it's not worth spending effort on now.
There is considerably more to do pursuant to my recent proposal to get rid
of sort-operator-based representations of sort orderings, but this patch
grabs some of the low-hanging fruit. I'll look at the remainder of that
work after the current commitfest.
removing an infrequently occurring race condition in Hot Standby.
An xid must be assigned before a lock appears in shared memory,
rather than immediately after, else GetRunningTransactionLocks()
may see InvalidTransactionId, causing assertion failures during
lock processing on standby.
Bug report and diagnosis by Fujii Masao, fix by me.
Basically, we want to distinguish all cases where the connection was
not made from those where it was. A convenient proxy for this is to
see if we got a message with a SQLSTATE code back from the postmaster.
This presumes that the postmaster will always send us a SQLSTATE in
a failure message, which is true for 7.4 and later postmasters in
every case except fork failure. (We could possibly complicate the
postmaster code to do something about that, but it seems not worth
the trouble, especially since pg_ctl's response for that case should
be to keep waiting anyway.)
If we did get a SQLSTATE from the postmaster, there are basically only
two cases, as per last week's discussion: ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW
and everything else. Any other error code implies that the postmaster
is in principle willing to accept connections, it just didn't like or
couldn't handle this particular request. We want to make a special
case for ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW so that "pg_ctl start -w" knows
it should keep waiting.
In passing, pick names for the enum constants that are a tad less
likely to present collision hazards in future.
1. Don't #include postgres.h in a frontend build.
2. Don't assume that the backend's symbol PGSQL_AF_INET6 has anything to do
with the constant that will be used by system library functions (because,
in point of fact, it usually doesn't). Fortunately, PGSQL_AF_INET is equal
to AF_INET, so we can just cater for both sets of values in one case
construct without fear of conflict.
This adds support for changing the schema of a conversion, operator,
operator class, operator family, text search configuration, text search
dictionary, text search parser, or text search template.
Dimitri Fontaine, with assorted corrections and other kibitzing.
Most of the functions that execute XPath queries leaked the data structures
created by libxml2. This memory would not be recovered until end of
session, so it mounts up pretty quickly in any serious use of the feature.
Per report from Pavel Stehule, though this isn't his patch.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
status, including a status where the server is running but refuses a
postgres connection.
Have pg_ctl use this new function. This fixes the case where pg_ctl
reports that the server is not running (cannot connect) but in fact it
is running.
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security
or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider
could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types
of events that might require similar treatment.
KaiGai Kohei, with minor adjustments.
Forcibly releasing all leftover buffer pins should be unnecessary now
that we have a robust ResourceOwner mechanism, and it significantly
increases the cost of process shutdown. Instead, in an assert-enabled
build, assert that no pins are held; in a non-assert-enabled build, do
nothing.
supplied, also print the IP address. This allows IPv4 and IPv6 failures
to be distinguished. Also useful when a hostname resolves to multiple
IP addresses.
Also, remove use of inet_ntoa() and use our own inet_net_ntop() in all
places, including in libpq, because it is thread-safe.
