Tomas Vondra	b676ac443b	Optimize creation of slots for FDW bulk inserts ... Commit b663a41363 introduced bulk inserts for FDW, but the handling of tuple slots turned out to be problematic for two reasons. Firstly, the slots were re-created for each individual batch. Secondly, all slots referenced the same tuple descriptor - with reasonably small batches this is not an issue, but with large batches this triggers O(N^2) behavior in the resource owner code. These two issues work against each other - to reduce the number of times a slot has to be created/dropped, larger batches are needed. However, the larger the batch, the more expensive the resource owner gets. For practical batch sizes (100 - 1000) this would not be a big problem, as the benefits (latency savings) greatly exceed the resource owner costs. But for extremely large batches it might be much worse, possibly even losing with non-batching mode. Fixed by initializing tuple slots only once (and reusing them across batches) and by using a new tuple descriptor copy for each slot.

Tom Lane	2b0ee126bb	Fix usage of "tableoid" in GENERATED expressions. ... We consider this supported (though I've got my doubts that it's a good idea, because tableoid is not immutable). However, several code paths failed to fill the field in soon enough, causing such a GENERATED expression to see zero or the wrong value. This occurred when ALTER TABLE adds a new GENERATED column to a table with existing rows, and during regular INSERT or UPDATE on a foreign table with GENERATED columns. Noted during investigation of a report from Vitaly Ustinov. Back-patch to v12 where GENERATED came in.

Tom Lane	049e1e2edb	Fix mishandling of resjunk columns in ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE tlists. ... It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present. If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns. That's fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns. This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks, including * There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or heap_update matches the table rowtype. While it's difficult to check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions that there aren't too many columns. * The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on input column numbers. Add assertions there too. * We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist. That wouldn't have caught this specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen this bug. In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with old values of the not-set columns. This adds a little complication to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable amount of now-dead code from the planner. In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to (a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent columns of the output slot. (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.) This works back to v10. In 9.6, projections work much differently and we can't cheaply give them such an option. The 9.6 version of this patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid of resjunk columns. In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table. Through a further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition. This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically crashing if more than one row has to be updated. Fix by preserving resjunk columns in that routine. (I failed to resist the temptation to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code beautification.) Per report from Andres Freund. Back-patch to all supported branches. Security: CVE-2021-32028	4 years ago

Tom Lane	a1115fa078	Postpone some more stuff out of ExecInitModifyTable. ... Delay creation of the projections for INSERT and UPDATE tuples until they're needed. This saves a pretty fair amount of work when only some of the partitions are actually touched. The logic associated with identifying junk columns in UPDATE/DELETE is moved to another loop, allowing removal of one loop over the target relations; but it didn't actually change at all.

Tom Lane	c5b7ba4e67	Postpone some stuff out of ExecInitModifyTable. ... Arrange to do some things on-demand, rather than immediately during executor startup, because there's a fair chance of never having to do them at all: * Don't open result relations' indexes until needed. * Don't initialize partition tuple routing, nor the child-to-root tuple conversion map, until needed. This wins in UPDATEs on partitioned tables when only some of the partitions will actually receive updates; with larger partition counts the savings is quite noticeable. Also, we can remove some sketchy heuristics in ExecInitModifyTable about whether to set up tuple routing. Also, remove execPartition.c's private hash table tracking which partitions were already opened by the ModifyTable node. Instead use the hash added to ModifyTable itself by commit 86dc90056. To allow lazy computation of the conversion maps, we now set ri_RootResultRelInfo in all child ResultRelInfos. We formerly set it only in some, not terribly well-defined, cases. This has user-visible side effects in that now more error messages refer to the root relation instead of some partition (and provide error data in the root's column order, too). It looks to me like this is a strict improvement in consistency, so I don't have a problem with the output changes visible in this commit.

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.

Heikki Linnakangas	6214e2b228	Fix permission checks on constraint violation errors on partitions. ... If a cross-partition UPDATE violates a constraint on the target partition, and the columns in the new partition are in different physical order than in the parent, the error message can reveal columns that the user does not have SELECT permission on. A similar bug was fixed earlier in commit 804b6b6db4. The cause of the bug is that the callers of the ExecBuildSlotValueDescription() function got confused when constructing the list of modified columns. If the tuple was routed from a parent, we converted the tuple to the parent's format, but the list of modified columns was grabbed directly from the child's RTE entry. ExecUpdateLockMode() had a similar issue. That lead to confusion on which columns are key columns, leading to wrong tuple lock being taken on tables referenced by foreign keys, when a row is updated with INSERT ON CONFLICT UPDATE. A new isolation test is added for that corner case. With this patch, the ri_RangeTableIndex field is no longer set for partitions that don't have an entry in the range table. Previously, it was set to the RTE entry of the parent relation, but that was confusing. NOTE: This modifies the ResultRelInfo struct, replacing the ri_PartitionRoot field with ri_RootResultRelInfo. That's a bit risky to backpatch, because it breaks any extensions accessing the field. The change that ri_RangeTableIndex is not set for partitions could potentially break extensions, too. The ResultRelInfos are visible to FDWs at least, and this patch required small changes to postgres_fdw. Nevertheless, this seem like the least bad option. I don't think these fields widely used in extensions; I don't think there are FDWs out there that uses the FDW "direct update" API, other than postgres_fdw. If there is, you will get a compilation error, so hopefully it is caught quickly. Backpatch to 11, where support for both cross-partition UPDATEs, and unique indexes on partitioned tables, were added. Reviewed-by: Amit Langote Security: CVE-2021-3393	4 years ago

Tomas Vondra	b663a41363	Implement support for bulk inserts in postgres_fdw ... Extends the FDW API to allow batching inserts into foreign tables. That is usually much more efficient than inserting individual rows, due to high latency for each round-trip to the foreign server. It was possible to implement something similar in the regular FDW API, but it was inconvenient and there were issues with reporting the number of actually inserted rows etc. This extends the FDW API with two new functions: * GetForeignModifyBatchSize - allows the FDW picking optimal batch size * ExecForeignBatchInsert - inserts a batch of rows at once Currently, only INSERT queries support batching. Support for DELETE and UPDATE may be added in the future. This also implements batching for postgres_fdw. The batch size may be specified using "batch_size" option both at the server and table level.

Peter Geoghegan	9dc718bdf2	Pass down "logically unchanged index" hint. ... Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies any of the index's key columns. The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least within index AMs that apply the hint. Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn). This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint just yet.

Michael Paquier	7b94e99960	Remove catalog function currtid() ... currtid() and currtid2() are an undocumented set of functions whose sole known user is the Postgres ODBC driver, able to retrieve the latest TID version for a tuple given by the caller of those functions. As used by Postgres ODBC, currtid() is a shortcut able to retrieve the last TID loaded into a backend by passing an OID of 0 (magic value) after a tuple insertion. This is removed in this commit, as it became obsolete after the driver began using "RETURNING ctid" with inserts, a clause supported since Postgres 8.2 (using RETURNING is better for performance anyway as it reduces the number of round-trips to the backend). currtid2() is still used by the driver, so this remains around for now.

Tom Lane	20d3fe9009	In INSERT/UPDATE, use the table's real tuple descriptor as target. ... Previously, ExecInitModifyTable relied on ExecInitJunkFilter, and thence ExecCleanTypeFromTL, to build the target descriptor from the query tlist. While we just checked (in ExecCheckPlanOutput) that the tlist produces compatible output, this is not a great substitute for the relation's actual tuple descriptor that's available from the relcache. For one thing, dropped columns will not be correctly marked attisdropped; it's a bit surprising that we've gotten away with that this long. But the real reason for being concerned with this is that using the table's descriptor means that the slot will have correct attrmissing data, allowing us to revert the klugy fix of commit ba9f18abd. (This commit undoes that one's changes in trigger.c, but keeps the new test case.) Thus we can solve the bogus-trigger-tuple problem with fewer cycles rather than more. No back-patch, since this doesn't fix any additional bug, and it seems somewhat more likely to have unforeseen side effects than ba9f18abd's narrow fix.

Heikki Linnakangas	6973533650	Revise child-to-root tuple conversion map management. ... Store the tuple conversion map to convert a tuple from a child table's format to the root format in a new ri_ChildToRootMap field in ResultRelInfo. It is initialized if transition tuple capture for FOR STATEMENT triggers or INSERT tuple routing on a partitioned table is needed. Previously, ModifyTable kept the maps in the per-subplan ModifyTableState->mt_per_subplan_tupconv_maps array, or when tuple routing was used, in ResultRelInfo->ri_Partitioninfo->pi_PartitionToRootMap. The new field replaces both of those. Now that the child-to-root tuple conversion map is always available in ResultRelInfo (when needed), remove the TransitionCaptureState.tcs_map field. The callers of Exec*Trigger() functions no longer need to set or save it, which is much less confusing and bug-prone. Also, as a future optimization, this will allow us to delay creating the map for a given result relation until the relation is actually processed during execution.

Heikki Linnakangas	1375422c78	Create ResultRelInfos later in InitPlan, index them by RT index. ... Instead of allocating all the ResultRelInfos upfront in one big array, allocate them in ExecInitModifyTable(). es_result_relations is now an array of ResultRelInfo pointers, rather than an array of structs, and it is indexed by the RT index. This simplifies things: we get rid of the separate concept of a "result rel index", and don't need to set it in setrefs.c anymore. This also allows follow-up optimizations (not included in this commit yet) to skip initializing ResultRelInfos for target relations that were not needed at runtime, and removal of the es_result_relation_info pointer. The EState arrays of regular result rels and root result rels are merged into one array. Similarly, the resultRelations and rootResultRelations lists in PlannedStmt are merged into one. It's not actually clear to me why they were kept separate in the first place, but now that the es_result_relations array is indexed by RT index, it certainly seems pointless. The PlannedStmt->resultRelations list is now only needed for ExecRelationIsTargetRelation(). One visible effect of this change is that ExecRelationIsTargetRelation() will now return 'true' also for the partition root, if a partitioned table is updated.

Tom Lane	2000b6c10a	Don't fetch partition check expression during InitResultRelInfo. ... Since there is only one place that actually needs the partition check expression, namely ExecPartitionCheck, it's better to fetch it from the relcache there. In this way we will never fetch it at all if the query never has use for it, and we still fetch it just once when we do need it. The reason for taking an interest in this is that if the relcache doesn't already have the check expression cached, fetching it requires obtaining AccessShareLock on the partition root. That means that operations that look like they should only touch the partition itself will also take a lock on the root. In particular we observed that TRUNCATE on a partition may take a lock on the partition's root, contributing to a deadlock situation in parallel pg_restore. As written, this patch does have a small cost, which is that we are microscopically reducing efficiency for the case where a partition has an empty check expression. ExecPartitionCheck will be called, and will go through the motions of setting up and checking an empty qual, where before it would not have been called at all. We could avoid that by adding a separate boolean flag to track whether there is a partition expression to test. However, this case only arises for a default partition with no siblings, which surely is not an interesting case in practice. Hence adding complexity for it does not seem like a good trade-off.

Tom Lane	6ef77cf46e	Further adjust EXPLAIN's choices of table alias names. ... This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan. Since the child RTEs now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit 55a1954da), the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N" appended. (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original RTEs will also have "_N" appended.) This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias, and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N". The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or MergeAppend that computes the appendrel. But below the append, Vars refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way. This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only one of them. While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees. This effectively reverts a decision made in commit 1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c. However, it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible, leaving no child PlanState to resolve Vars against. (That's not done here, but will be in the next patch.) This requires different handling of subplans and initplans than before, but is otherwise a pretty straightforward change.

Andres Freund	27cc7cd2bc	Reorder EPQ work, to fix rowmark related bugs and improve efficiency. ... In ad0bda5d24 I changed the EvalPlanQual machinery to store substitution tuples in slot, instead of using plain HeapTuples. The main motivation for that was that using HeapTuples will be inefficient for future tableams. But it turns out that that conversion was buggy for non-locking rowmarks - the wrong tuple descriptor was used to create the slot. As a secondary issue 5db6df0c0 changed ExecLockRows() to begin EPQ earlier, to allow to fetch the locked rows directly into the EPQ slots, instead of having to copy tuples around. Unfortunately, as Tom complained, that forces some expensive initialization to happen earlier. As a third issue, the test coverage for EPQ was clearly insufficient. Fixing the first issue is unfortunately not trivial: Non-locked row marks were fetched at the start of EPQ, and we don't have the type information for the rowmarks available at that point. While we could change that, it's not easy. It might be worthwhile to change that at some point, but to fix this bug, it seems better to delay fetching non-locking rowmarks when they're actually needed, rather than eagerly. They're referenced at most once, and in cases where EPQ fails, might never be referenced. Fetching them when needed also increases locality a bit. To be able to fetch rowmarks during execution, rather than initialization, we need to be able to access the active EPQState, as that contains necessary data. To do so move EPQ related data from EState to EPQState, and, only for EStates creates as part of EPQ, reference the associated EPQState from EState. To fix the second issue, change EPQ initialization to allow use of EvalPlanQualSlot() to be used before EvalPlanQualBegin() (but obviously still requiring EvalPlanQualInit() to have been done). As these changes made struct EState harder to understand, e.g. by adding multiple EStates, significantly reorder the members, and add a lot more comments. Also add a few more EPQ tests, including one that fails for the first issue above. More is needed.

Andres Freund	41f5e04aec	Fix a number of issues around modifying a previously updated row. ... This commit fixes three, unfortunately related, issues: 1) Since 5db6df0c01, the introduction of DML via tableam, it was possible to trigger "ERROR: unexpected table_lock_tuple status: 1" when updating a row that was previously updated in the same transaction - but only when the previously updated row was before updated in a concurrent transaction (and READ COMMITTED was used). The reason for that was that that case simply wasn't expected. Fixing that lead to: 2) Even before the above commit, there were error checks (introduced in 6868ed7491) preventing a row being updated by different commands within the same statement (say in a function called by an UPDATE) - but that check wasn't performed when the row was first updated in a concurrent transaction - instead the second update was silently skipped in that case. After this change we throw the same error as we'd without the concurrent transaction. 3) The error messages (introduced in 6868ed7491) preventing such updates emitted the same error message for both DELETE and UPDATE ("tuple to be updated was already modified by an operation triggered by the current command"). While that could be changed separately, it made it hard to write tests that verify the correct correct behavior of the code. This commit changes heap's implementation of table_lock_tuple() to return TM_SelfModified instead of TM_Invisible (previously loosely modeled after EvalPlanQualFetch), and teaches nodeModifyTable.c to handle that in response to table_lock_tuple() and not just in response to table_(delete|update). Additionally it fixes the wrong error message (see 3 above). The comment for table_lock_tuple() is also adjusted to state that TM_Deleted won't return information in TM_FailureData - it'll not always be available. This also adds tests to ensure that DELETE/UPDATE correctly error out when affecting a row that concurrently was modified by another transaction.

Andres Freund	5db6df0c01	tableam: Add tuple_{insert, delete, update, lock} and use. ... This adds new, required, table AM callbacks for insert/delete/update and lock_tuple. To be able to reasonably use those, the EvalPlanQual mechanism had to be adapted, moving more logic into the AM. Previously both delete/update/lock call-sites and the EPQ mechanism had to have awareness of the specific tuple format to be able to fetch the latest version of a tuple. Obviously that needs to be abstracted away. To do so, move the logic that find the latest row version into the AM. lock_tuple has a new flag argument, TUPLE_LOCK_FLAG_FIND_LAST_VERSION, that forces it to lock the last version, rather than the current one. It'd have been possible to do so via a separate callback as well, but finding the last version usually also necessitates locking the newest version, making it sensible to combine the two. This replaces the previous use of EvalPlanQualFetch(). Additionally HeapTupleUpdated, which previously signaled either a concurrent update or delete, is now split into two, to avoid callers needing AM specific knowledge to differentiate. The move of finding the latest row version into tuple_lock means that encountering a row concurrently moved into another partition will now raise an error about "tuple to be locked" rather than "tuple to be updated/deleted" - which is accurate, as that always happens when locking rows. While possible slightly less helpful for users, it seems like an acceptable trade-off. As part of this commit HTSU_Result has been renamed to TM_Result, and its members been expanded to differentiated between updating and deleting. HeapUpdateFailureData has been renamed to TM_FailureData. The interface to speculative insertion is changed so nodeModifyTable.c does not have to set the speculative token itself anymore. Instead there's a version of tuple_insert, tuple_insert_speculative, that performs the speculative insertion (without requiring a flag to signal that fact), and the speculative insertion is either made permanent with table_complete_speculative(succeeded = true) or aborted with succeeded = false). Note that multi_insert is not yet routed through tableam, nor is COPY. Changing multi_insert requires changes to copy.c that are large enough to better be done separately. Similarly, although simpler, CREATE TABLE AS and CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW are also only going to be adjusted in a later commit.

Andres Freund	c2fe139c20	tableam: Add and use scan APIs. ... Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several new abstractions are needed. Specifically: 1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from HeapScanDesc. The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been replaced with a table_ version. There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on, it's still used widely to access catalog tables. This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan, scan_getnextslot callbacks. 2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize} callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs. As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented, block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate, intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc. 3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap). The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin, reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if appropriate. Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext calls and working directly with HeapTuples). Index scans now store the result of a search in IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner. To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further callbacks have been introduced: a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign tables, etc. While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit also would have been needed to be adapted for table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile. b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a slot (which in heap's case internally has that information). Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed: I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with slots. The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

Robert Haas	898e5e3290	Allow ATTACH PARTITION with only ShareUpdateExclusiveLock. ... We still require AccessExclusiveLock on the partition itself, because otherwise an insert that violates the newly-imposed partition constraint could be in progress at the same time that we're changing that constraint; only the lock level on the parent relation is weakened. To make this safe, we have to cope with (at least) three separate problems. First, relevant DDL might commit while we're in the process of building a PartitionDesc. If so, find_inheritance_children() might see a new partition while the RELOID system cache still has the old partition bound cached, and even before invalidation messages have been queued. To fix that, if we see that the pg_class tuple seems to be missing or to have a null relpartbound, refetch the value directly from the table. We can't get the wrong value, because DETACH PARTITION still requires AccessExclusiveLock throughout; if we ever want to change that, this will need more thought. In testing, I found it quite difficult to hit even the null-relpartbound case; the race condition is extremely tight, but the theoretical risk is there. Second, successive calls to RelationGetPartitionDesc might not return the same answer. The query planner will get confused if lookup up the PartitionDesc for a particular relation does not return a consistent answer for the entire duration of query planning. Likewise, query execution will get confused if the same relation seems to have a different PartitionDesc at different times. Invent a new PartitionDirectory concept and use it to ensure consistency. This ensures that a single invocation of either the planner or the executor sees the same view of the PartitionDesc from beginning to end, but it does not guarantee that the planner and the executor see the same view. Since this allows pointers to old PartitionDesc entries to survive even after a relcache rebuild, also postpone removing the old PartitionDesc entry until we're certain no one is using it. For the most part, it seems to be OK for the planner and executor to have different views of the PartitionDesc, because the executor will just ignore any concurrently added partitions which were unknown at plan time; those partitions won't be part of the inheritance expansion, but invalidation messages will trigger replanning at some point. Normally, this happens by the time the very next command is executed, but if the next command acquires no locks and executes a prepared query, it can manage not to notice until a new transaction is started. We might want to tighten that up, but it's material for a separate patch. There would still be a small window where a query that started just after an ATTACH PARTITION command committed might fail to notice its results -- but only if the command starts before the commit has been acknowledged to the user. All in all, the warts here around serializability seem small enough to be worth accepting for the considerable advantage of being able to add partitions without a full table lock. Although in general the consequences of new partitions showing up between planning and execution are limited to the query not noticing the new partitions, run-time partition pruning will get confused in that case, so that's the third problem that this patch fixes. Run-time partition pruning assumes that indexes into the PartitionDesc are stable between planning and execution. So, add code so that if new partitions are added between plan time and execution time, the indexes stored in the subplan_map[] and subpart_map[] arrays within the plan's PartitionedRelPruneInfo get adjusted accordingly. There does not seem to be a simple way to generalize this scheme to cope with partitions that are removed, mostly because they could then get added back again with different bounds, but it works OK for added partitions. This code does not try to ensure that every backend participating in a parallel query sees the same view of the PartitionDesc. That currently doesn't matter, because we never pass PartitionDesc indexes between backends. Each backend will ignore the concurrently added partitions which it notices, and it doesn't matter if different backends are ignoring different sets of concurrently added partitions. If in the future that matters, for example because we allow writes in parallel query and want all participants to do tuple routing to the same set of partitions, the PartitionDirectory concept could be improved to share PartitionDescs across backends. There is a draft patch to serialize and restore PartitionDescs on the thread where this patch was discussed, which may be a useful place to start. Patch by me.

Andres Freund	ad0bda5d24	Store tuples for EvalPlanQual in slots, rather than as HeapTuples. ... For the upcoming pluggable table access methods it's quite inconvenient to store tuples as HeapTuples, as that'd require converting tuples from a their native format into HeapTuples. Instead use slots to manage epq tuples. To fit into that scheme, change the foreign data wrapper callback RefetchForeignRow, to store the tuple in a slot. Insist on using the caller provided slot, so it conveniently can be stored in the corresponding EPQ slot. As there is no in core user of RefetchForeignRow, that change was done blindly, but we plan to test that soon. To avoid duplicating that work for row locks, move row locks to just directly use the EPQ slots - it previously temporarily stored tuples in LockRowsState.lr_curtuples, but that doesn't seem beneficial, given we'd possibly end up with a significant number of additional slots. The behaviour of es_epqTupleSet[rti -1] is now checked by es_epqTupleSlot[rti -1] != NULL, as that is distinguishable from a slot containing an empty tuple.

As part of this work the slots used for old/new/return tuples are moved from EState into ResultRelInfo, as different updated tables might need different slots.

Andres Freund	b8d71745ea	Store table oid and tuple's tid in tuple slots directly. ... After the introduction of tuple table slots all table AMs need to support returning the table oid of the tuple stored in a slot created by said AM. It does not make sense to re-implement that in every AM, therefore move handling of table OIDs into the TupleTableSlot structure itself. It's possible that we, at a later date, might want to get rid of HeapTupleData.t_tableOid entirely, but doing so before the abstractions for table AMs are integrated turns out to be too hard, so delay that for now. Similarly, every AM needs to support the concept of a tuple identifier (tid / item pointer) for its tuples. It's quite possible that we'll generalize the exact form of a tid at a future point (to allow for things like index organized tables), but for now many parts of the code know about tids, so there's not much point in abstracting tids away. Therefore also move into slot (rather than providing API to set/get the tid associated with the tuple in a slot). Once table AM includes insert/updating/deleting tuples, the responsibility to set the correct tid after such an action will move into that. After that change, code doing such modifications, should not have to deal with HeapTuples directly anymore.
