Tom Lane	ca129e58c0	Fix regression tests to use only global names beginning with "regress_". ... In commit 18555b132 we tentatively established a rule that regression tests should use names containing "regression" for databases, and names starting with "regress_" for all other globally-visible object names, so as to circumscribe the side-effects that "make installcheck" could have on an existing installation. However, no enforcement mechanism was created, so it's unsurprising that some new violations have crept in since then. In fact, a whole new *category* of violations has crept in, to wit we now also have globally-visible subscription and replication origin names, and "make installcheck" could very easily clobber user-created objects of those types. So it's past time to do something about this. This commit sanitizes the tests enough that they will pass (i.e. not generate any visible warnings) with the enforcement mechanism I'll add in the next commit. There are some TAP tests that still trigger the warnings, but the warnings do not cause test failure. Since these tests do not actually run against a pre-existing installation, there's no need to worry whether they could conflict with user-created objects. The problem with rolenames.sql testing special role names like "user" is still there, and is dealt with only very cosmetically in this patch (by hiding the warnings :-(). What we actually need to do to be safe is to take that test script out of "make installcheck" altogether, but that seems like material for a separate patch.

Andres Freund	3dbb317d32	Fix potential assertion failure when reindexing a pg_class index. ... When reindexing individual indexes on pg_class it was possible to either trigger an assertion failure: TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(!ReindexIsProcessingIndex(((index)->rd_id))) That's because reindex_index() called SetReindexProcessing() - which enables an asserts ensuring no index insertions happen into the index - before calling RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). That not correct for indexes on pg_class, because RelationSetNewRelfilenode() updates the relevant pg_class row, which needs to update the indexes. The are two reasons this wasn't noticed earlier. Firstly the bug doesn't trigger when reindexing all of pg_class, as reindex_relation has code "hiding" all yet-to-be-reindexed indexes. Secondly, the bug only triggers when the the update to pg_class doesn't turn out to be a HOT update - otherwise there's no index insertion to trigger the bug. Most of the time there's enough space, making this bug hard to trigger. To fix, move RelationSetNewRelfilenode() to before the SetReindexProcessing() (and, together with some other code, to outside of the PG_TRY()). To make sure the error checking intended by SetReindexProcessing() is more robust, modify CatalogIndexInsert() to check ReindexIsProcessingIndex() even when the update is a HOT update. Also add a few regression tests for REINDEXing of system catalogs. The last two improvements would have prevented some of the issues fixed in 5c1560606d from being introduced in the first place.

Andres Freund	e9edc1ba0b	Fix logical decoding error when system table w/ toast is repeatedly rewritten. ... Repeatedly rewriting a mapped catalog table with VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER could cause logical decoding to fail with: ERROR, "could not map filenode \"%s\" to relation OID" To trigger the problem the rewritten catalog had to have live tuples with toasted columns. The problem was triggered as during catalog table rewrites the heap_insert() check that prevents logical decoding information to be emitted for system catalogs, failed to treat the new heap's toast table as a system catalog (because the new heap is not recognized as a catalog table via RelationIsLogicallyLogged()). The relmapper, in contrast to the normal catalog contents, does not contain historical information. After a single rewrite of a mapped table the new relation is known to the relmapper, but if the table is rewritten twice before logical decoding occurs, the relfilenode cannot be mapped to a relation anymore. Which then leads us to error out. This only happens for toast tables, because the main table contents aren't re-inserted with heap_insert(). The fix is simple, add a new heap_insert() flag that prevents logical decoding information from being emitted, and accept during decoding that there might not be tuple data for toast tables. Unfortunately that does not fix pre-existing logical decoding errors. Doing so would require not throwing an error when a filenode cannot be mapped to a relation during decoding, and that seems too likely to hide bugs. If it's crucial to fix decoding for an existing slot, temporarily changing the ERROR in ReorderBufferCommit() to a WARNING appears to be the best fix.

Andres Freund	d6fa44fce7	Add skip-empty-xacts option to test_decoding for use in the regression tests. ... The regression tests for contrib/test_decoding regularly failed on postgres instances that were very slow. Either because the hardware itself was slow or because very expensive debugging options like CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS were used. The reason they failed was just that some additional transactions were decoded. Analyze and vacuum, triggered by autovac. To fix just add a option to test_decoding to only display transactions in which a change was actually displayed. That's not pretty because it removes information from the tests; but better than constantly failing tests in very likely harmless ways. Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

Robert Haas	b89e151054	Introduce logical decoding. ... This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is, inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them. It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system, and to perform filtering. Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream changes via walsender.
