Alvaro Herrera	ecf741cfae	Stabilize postgres_fdw test ... The test fails when RESET statement_timeout takes longer than 10ms. Avoid the problem by using SET LOCAL instead. Overall, this test is not ideal: 10ms could be shorter than the time to have sent the query to the "remote" server, so it's possible that on some machines this test doesn't actually witness a remote query being cancelled. We may want to improve on this someday by using some other testing technique, but for now it's better than nothing. I verified manually that one round of remote cancellation occurs when this runs on my machine.

Alvaro Herrera	2466d6654f	libpq-be-fe-helpers.h: wrap new cancel APIs ... Commit 61461a300c introduced new functions to libpq for cancelling queries. This commit introduces a helper function that backend-side libraries and extensions can use to invoke those. This function takes a timeout and can itself be interrupted while it is waiting for a cancel request to be sent and processed, instead of being blocked. This replaces the usage of the old functions in postgres_fdw and dblink. Finally, it also adds some test coverage for the cancel support in postgres_fdw.

David Rowley	66c0185a3d	Allow planner to use Merge Append to efficiently implement UNION ... Until now, UNION queries have often been suboptimal as the planner has only ever considered using an Append node and making the results unique by either using a Hash Aggregate, or by Sorting the entire Append result and running it through the Unique operator. Both of these methods always require reading all rows from the union subqueries. Here we adjust the union planner so that it can request that each subquery produce results in target list order so that these can be Merge Appended together and made unique with a Unique node. This can improve performance significantly as the union child can make use of the likes of btree indexes and/or Merge Joins to provide the top-level UNION with presorted input. This is especially good if the top-level UNION contains a LIMIT node that limits the output rows to a small subset of the unioned rows as cheap startup plans can be used.

Tom Lane	fd0398fcb0	Improve EXPLAIN's display of SubPlan nodes and output parameters. ... Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)", which is pretty uninformative. Trying to reproduce the original SQL for the subquery is still as impractical as before, and would be mighty verbose as well. However, we can still do better than that. Displaying the "testexpr" when present, and adding a keyword to indicate the SubLinkType, goes a long way toward showing what's really going on. In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent subplan and initplan output Params. Instead we now print "(SubPlan N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column of that subplan. This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to represent PARAM_EXTERN Params, and it's useful for the first part of this change because it eliminates needing some other indication of which subplan is referenced by a SubPlan that has a testexpr. In passing, this adds simple regression test coverage of the ROWCOMPARE_SUBLINK code paths, which were entirely unburdened by testing before. Tom Lane and Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Aleksander Alekseev. Thanks to Chantal Keller for raising the question of whether this area couldn't be improved.

David Rowley	c399248b3b	Fix deparsing of Consts in postgres_fdw ORDER BY ... For UNION ALL queries where a union child query contained a foreign table, if the targetlist of that query contained a constant, and the top-level query performed an ORDER BY which contained the column for the constant value, then postgres_fdw would find the EquivalenceMember with the Const and then try to produce an ORDER BY containing that Const. This caused problems with INT typed Consts as these could appear to be requests to order by an ordinal column position rather than the constant value. This could lead to either an error such as: ERROR: ORDER BY position <int const> is not in select list or worse, if the constant value is a valid column, then we could just sort by the wrong column altogether. Here we fix this issue by just not including these Consts in the ORDER BY clause. In passing, add a new section for testing ORDER BY in the postgres_fdw tests and move two existing tests which were misplaced in the WHERE clause testing section into it.

Alexander Korotkov	9f13376396	Pull up ANY-SUBLINK with the necessary lateral support. ... For ANY-SUBLINK, we adopted a two-stage pull-up approach to handle different types of scenarios. In the first stage, the sublink is pulled up as a subquery. Because of this, when writing this code, we did not have the ability to perform lateral joins, and therefore, we were unable to pull up Var with varlevelsup=1. Now that we have the ability to use lateral joins, we can eliminate this limitation.

David Rowley	b262ad440e	Add better handling of redundant IS [NOT] NULL quals ... Until now PostgreSQL has not been very smart about optimizing away IS NOT NULL base quals on columns defined as NOT NULL. The evaluation of these needless quals adds overhead. Ordinarily, anyone who came complaining about that would likely just have been told to not include the qual in their query if it's not required. However, a recent bug report indicates this might not always be possible. Bug 17540 highlighted that when we optimize Min/Max aggregates the IS NOT NULL qual that the planner adds to make the rewritten plan ignore NULLs can cause issues with poor index choice. That particular case demonstrated that other quals, especially ones where no statistics are available to allow the planner a chance at estimating an approximate selectivity for can result in poor index choice due to cheap startup paths being prefered with LIMIT 1. Here we take generic approach to fixing this by having the planner check for NOT NULL columns and just have the planner remove these quals (when they're not needed) for all queries, not just when optimizing Min/Max aggregates. Additionally, here we also detect IS NULL quals on a NOT NULL column and transform that into a gating qual so that we don't have to perform the scan at all. This also works for join relations when the Var is not nullable by any outer join. This also helps with the self-join removal work as it must replace strict join quals with IS NOT NULL quals to ensure equivalence with the original query.

Alexander Korotkov	824dbea3e4	Add support for deparsing semi-joins to contrib/postgres_fdw ... SEMI-JOIN is deparsed as the EXISTS subquery. It references outer and inner relations, so it should be evaluated as the condition in the upper-level WHERE clause. The signatures of deparseFromExprForRel() and deparseRangeTblRef() are revised so that they can add conditions to the upper level. PgFdwRelationInfo now has a hidden_subquery_rels field, referencing the relids used in the inner parts of semi-join. They can't be referred to from upper relations and should be used internally for equivalence member searches. The planner can create semi-join, which refers to inner rel vars in its target list. However, we deparse semi-join as an exists() subquery. So we skip the case when the target list references to inner rel of semi-join.

David Rowley	cac169d686	Increase DEFAULT_FDW_TUPLE_COST from 0.01 to 0.2 ... 0.01 was unrealistically low as it's the same as the default cpu_tuple_cost and 10x cheaper than the default parallel_tuple_cost. It's hard to imagine a situation where fetching a tuple from a foreign server would be cheaper than fetching one from a parallel worker. After some experimentation on a loopback server, somewhere between 0.15 and 0.3 seems more realistic. Here we split the difference and set it to 0.2. This will cause operations that reduce the number of tuples (e.g. aggregation) to be more likely to take place on the foreign server. Adjusting this causes some plan changes in the postgres_fdw regression tests. This is because penalizing each Path with the additional tuple costs causes some dilution of the costs of the other operations being charged for and results in various paths appearing to be closer to the same costs such that add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR is more likely to see two paths as costing (fuzzily) the same. This isn't ideal, but it shouldn't be reason enough to use artificially low costs. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvopVjjfh5c1Ed2HRvDdfom2dEpMwwiu5-f1AnmYprJngA@mail.gmail.com	2 years ago

This was disabled in commit 6f80a8d9c due to the lack of support for handling of pseudoconstant quals assigned to replaced joins in createplan.c. To re-allow it, this patch adds the support by 1) modifying the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs so that if they represent foreign and custom scans replacing a join with a scan, they store the list of RestrictInfo nodes to apply to the join, as in JoinPaths, and by 2) modifying create_scan_plan() in createplan.c so that it uses that list in that case, instead of the baserestrictinfo list, to get pseudoconstant quals assigned to the join, as mentioned in the commit message for that commit. Important item for the release notes: this is non-backwards-compatible since it modifies the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs, as mentioned above, and changes the argument lists for FDW helper functions create_foreignscan_path(), create_foreign_join_path(), and create_foreign_upper_path().

To fix, we could add the support by 1) modifying the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs to store the list of RestrictInfo nodes to apply to the join, as in JoinPaths, if they represent foreign and custom scans replacing a join with a scan, and by 2) modifying create_scan_plan() in createplan.c to use that list in that case, instead of the baserestrictinfo list, to get pseudoconstant quals assigned to the join; but #1 would cause an ABI break.

Tom Lane	53fe7e6cb8	Harden postgres_fdw tests against unexpected cache flushes. ... postgres_fdw will close its remote session if an sinval cache reset occurs, since it's possible that that means some FDW parameters changed. We had two tests that were trying to ensure that the session remains alive by setting debug_discard_caches = 0; but that's not sufficient. Even though the tests seem stable enough in the buildfarm, they flap a lot under CI. In the first test, which is checking the ability to recover from a lost connection, we can stabilize the results by just not caring whether pg_terminate_backend() finds a victim backend. If a reset did happen, there won't be a session to terminate anymore, but the test can proceed anyway. (Arguably, we are then not testing the unintentional-disconnect case, but as long as that scenario is exercised in most runs I think it's fine; testing the reset-driven case is of value too.) In the second test, which is trying to verify the application_name displayed in pg_stat_activity by a remote session, we had a race condition in that the remote session might go away before we can fetch its pg_stat_activity entry. We can close that race and make the test more certainly test what it intends to by arranging things so that the remote session itself fetches its pg_stat_activity entry (based on PID rather than a somewhat-circular assumption about the application name). Both tests now demonstrably pass under debug_discard_caches = 1, so we can remove that hack. Back-patch into relevant back branches.

Tom Lane	47bb9db759	Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable. ... The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea.

Tom Lane	8d83a5d0a2	Remove redundant grouping and DISTINCT columns. ... Avoid explicitly grouping by columns that we know are redundant for sorting, for example we need group by only one of x and y in SELECT ... WHERE x = y GROUP BY x, y This comes up more often than you might think, as shown by the changes in the regression tests. It's nearly free to detect too, since we are just piggybacking on the existing logic that detects redundant pathkeys. (In some of the existing plans that change, it's visible that a sort step preceding the grouping step already didn't bother to sort by the redundant column, making the old plan a bit silly-looking.) To do this, build processed_groupClause and processed_distinctClause lists that omit any provably-redundant sort items, and consult those not the originals where relevant. This means that within the planner, one should usually consult root->processed_groupClause or root->processed_distinctClause if one wants to know which columns are to be grouped on; but to check whether grouping or distinct-ing is happening at all, check non-NIL-ness of parse->groupClause or parse->distinctClause. This is comparable to longstanding rules about handling the HAVING clause, so I don't think it'll be a huge maintenance problem. nodeAgg.c also needs minor mods, because it's now possible to generate AGG_PLAIN and AGG_SORTED Agg nodes with zero grouping columns.

The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might.

Tomas Vondra	8ad51b5f44	Sample postgres_fdw tables remotely during ANALYZE ... When collecting ANALYZE sample on foreign tables, postgres_fdw fetched all rows and performed the sampling locally. For large tables this means transferring and immediately discarding large amounts of data. This commit allows the sampling to be performed on the remote server, transferring only the much smaller sample. The sampling is performed using the built-in TABLESAMPLE methods (system, bernoulli) or random() function, depending on the remote server version. Remote sampling can be enabled by analyze_sampling on the foreign server and/or foreign table, with supported values 'off', 'auto', 'system', 'bernoulli' and 'random'. The default value is 'auto' which uses either 'bernoulli' (TABLESAMPLE method) or 'random' (for remote servers without TABLESAMPLE support).	3 years ago

Etsuro Fujita	594f8d3776	Allow batching of inserts during cross-partition updates. ... Commit 927f453a9 disallowed batching added by commit b663a4136 to be used for the inserts performed as part of cross-partition updates of partitioned tables, mainly because the previous code in nodeModifyTable.c couldn't handle pending inserts into foreign-table partitions that are also UPDATE target partitions. But we don't have such a limitation anymore (cf. commit ffbb7e65a), so let's allow for this by removing from execPartition.c the restriction added by commit 927f453a9 that batching is only allowed if the query command type is CMD_INSERT. In postgres_fdw, since commit 86dc90056 changed it to effectively disable cross-partition updates in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to insert rows into is also an UPDATE target partition, allow batching in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to do so is *not* also an UPDATE target partition. This is enabled by the "batch_size" option added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default. This patch also adjusts the test case added by commit 927f453a9 to confirm that the inserts performed as part of a cross-partition update of a partitioned table indeed uses batching.

David Rowley	4a29eabd1d	Remove pessimistic cost penalization from Incremental Sort ... When incremental sorts were added in v13 a 1.5x pessimism factor was added to the cost modal. Seemingly this was done because the cost modal only has an estimate of the total number of input rows and the number of presorted groups. It assumes that the input rows will be evenly distributed throughout the presorted groups. The 1.5x pessimism factor was added to slightly reduce the likelihood of incremental sorts being used in the hope to avoid performance regressions where an incremental sort plan was picked and turned out slower due to a large skew in the number of rows in the presorted groups. An additional quirk with the path generation code meant that we could consider both a sort and an incremental sort on paths with presorted keys. This meant that with the pessimism factor, it was possible that we opted to perform a sort rather than an incremental sort when the given path had presorted keys. Here we remove the 1.5x pessimism factor to allow incremental sorts to have a fairer chance at being chosen against a full sort. Previously we would generally create a sort path on the cheapest input path (if that wasn't sorted already) and incremental sort paths on any path which had presorted keys. This meant that if the cheapest input path wasn't completely sorted but happened to have presorted keys, we would create a full sort path *and* an incremental sort path on that input path. Here we change this logic so that if there are presorted keys, we only create an incremental sort path, and create sort paths only when a full sort is required. Both the removal of the cost pessimism factor and the changes made to the path generation make it more likely that incremental sorts will now be chosen. That, of course, as with teaching the planner any new tricks, means an increased likelihood that the planner will perform an incremental sort when it's not the best method. Our standard escape hatch for these cases is an enable_* GUC. enable_incremental_sort already exists for this. This came out of a report by Pavel Luzanov where he mentioned that the master branch was choosing to perform a Seq Scan -> Sort -> Group Aggregate for his query with an ORDER BY aggregate function. The v15 plan for his query performed an Index Scan -> Group Aggregate, of course, the aggregate performed the final sort internally in nodeAgg.c for the aggregate's ORDER BY. The ideal plan would have been to use the index, which provided partially sorted input then use an incremental sort to provide the aggregate with the sorted input. This was not being chosen due to the pessimism in the incremental sort cost modal, so here we remove that and rationalize the path generation so that sort and incremental sort plans don't have to needlessly compete. We assume that it's senseless to ever use a full sort on a given input path where an incremental sort can be performed.

Etsuro Fujita	ffbb7e65a8	Fix handling of pending inserts in nodeModifyTable.c. ... Commit b663a4136, which allowed FDWs to INSERT rows in bulk, added to nodeModifyTable.c code to flush pending inserts to the foreign-table result relation(s) before completing processing of the ModifyTable node, but the code failed to take into account the case where the INSERT query has modifying CTEs, leading to incorrect results. Also, that commit failed to flush pending inserts before firing BEFORE ROW triggers so that rows are visible to such triggers. In that commit we scanned through EState's es_tuple_routing_result_relations or es_opened_result_relations list to find the foreign-table result relations to which pending inserts are flushed, but that would be inefficient in some cases. So to fix, 1) add a List member to EState to record the insert-pending result relations, and 2) modify nodeModifyTable.c so that it adds the foreign-table result relation to the list in ExecInsert() if appropriate, and flushes pending inserts properly using the list where needed. While here, fix a copy-and-pasteo in a comment in ExecBatchInsert(), which was added by that commit. Back-patch to v14 where that commit appeared.

Tom Lane	a5fc46414d	Avoid making commutatively-duplicate clauses in EquivalenceClasses. ... When we decide we need to make a derived clause equating a.x and b.y, we already will re-use a previously-made clause "a.x = b.y". But we might instead have "b.y = a.x", which is perfectly usable because equivclass.c has never promised anything about the operand order in clauses it builds. Saving construction of a new RestrictInfo doesn't matter all that much in itself --- but because we cache selectivity estimates and so on per-RestrictInfo, there's a possibility of saving a fair amount of duplicative effort downstream. Hence, check for commutative matches as well as direct ones when seeing if we have a pre-existing clause. This changes the visible clause order in several regression test cases, but they're all clearly-insignificant changes. Checking for the reverse operand order is simple enough, but if we wanted to check for operator OID match we'd need to call get_commutator here, which is not so cheap. I concluded that we don't really need the operator check anyway, so I just removed it. It's unlikely that an opfamily contains more than one applicable operator for a given pair of operand datatypes; and if it does they had better give the same answers, so there seems little need to insist that we use exactly the one select_equality_operator chose. Using the current core regression suite as a test case, I see this change reducing the number of new join clauses built by create_join_clause from 9673 to 5142 (out of 26652 calls). So not quite 50% savings, but pretty close to it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/78062.1666735746@sss.pgh.pa.us	3 years ago

Etsuro Fujita	97da48246d	Allow batch insertion during COPY into a foreign table. ... Commit 3d956d956 allowed the COPY, but it's done by inserting individual rows to the foreign table, so it can be inefficient due to the overhead caused by each round-trip to the foreign server. To improve performance of the COPY in such a case, this patch allows batch insertion, by extending the multi-insert machinery in CopyFrom() to the foreign-table case so that we insert multiple rows to the foreign table at once using the FDW callback routine added by commit b663a4136. This patch also allows this for postgres_fdw. It is enabled by the "batch_size" option added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default. When doing batch insertion, we update progress of the COPY command after performing the FDW callback routine, to count rows not suppressed by the FDW as well as a BEFORE ROW INSERT trigger. For consistency, this patch changes the timing of updating it for plain tables: previously, we updated it immediately after adding each row to the multi-insert buffer, but we do so only after writing the rows stored in the buffer out to the table using table_multi_insert(), which I think would be consistent even with non-batching mode, because in that mode we update it after writing each row out to the table using table_tuple_insert().

Tom Lane	f4c7c410ee	Revert "Optimize order of GROUP BY keys". ... This reverts commit db0d67db24 and several follow-on fixes. The idea of making a cost-based choice of the order of the sorting columns is not fundamentally unsound, but it requires cost information and data statistics that we don't really have. For example, relying on procost to distinguish the relative costs of different sort comparators is pretty pointless so long as most such comparator functions are labeled with cost 1.0. Moreover, estimating the number of comparisons done by Quicksort requires more than just an estimate of the number of distinct values in the input: you also need some idea of the sizes of the larger groups, if you want an estimate that's good to better than a factor of three or so. That's data that's often unknown or not very reliable. Worse, to arrive at estimates of the number of calls made to the lower-order-column comparison functions, the code needs to make estimates of the numbers of distinct values of multiple columns, which are necessarily even less trustworthy than per-column stats. Even if all the inputs are perfectly reliable, the cost algorithm as-implemented cannot offer useful information about how to order sorting columns beyond the point at which the average group size is estimated to drop to 1. Close inspection of the code added by db0d67db2 shows that there are also multiple small bugs. These could have been fixed, but there's not much point if we don't trust the estimates to be accurate in-principle. Finally, the changes in cost_sort's behavior made for very large changes (often a factor of 2 or so) in the cost estimates for all sorting operations, not only those for multi-column GROUP BY. That naturally changes plan choices in many situations, and there's precious little evidence to show that the changes are for the better. Given the above doubts about whether the new estimates are really trustworthy, it's hard to summon much confidence that these changes are better on the average. Since we're hard up against the release deadline for v15, let's revert these changes for now. We can always try again later. Note: in v15, I left T_PathKeyInfo in place in nodes.h even though it's unreferenced. Removing it would be an ABI break, and it seems a bit late in the release cycle for that.

Etsuro Fujita	9320cfdd06	postgres_fdw: Avoid 'variable not found in subplan target list' error. ... The tlist of the EvalPlanQual outer plan for a ForeignScan node is adjusted to produce a tuple whose descriptor matches the scan tuple slot for the ForeignScan node. But in the case where the outer plan contains an extra Sort node, if the new tlist contained columns required only for evaluating PlaceHolderVars or columns required only for evaluating local conditions, this would cause setrefs.c to fail with the error. The cause of this is that when creating the outer plan by injecting the Sort node into an alternative local join plan that could emit such extra columns as well, we fail to arrange for the outer plan to propagate them up through the Sort node, causing setrefs.c to fail to match up them in the new tlist to what is available from the outer plan.

David Rowley	1349d2790b	Improve performance of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates ... ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggreagtes have, since implemented in Postgres, been executed by always performing a sort in nodeAgg.c to sort the tuples in the current group into the correct order before calling the transition function on the sorted tuples. This was not great as often there might be an index that could have provided pre-sorted input and allowed the transition functions to be called as the rows come in, rather than having to store them in a tuplestore in order to sort them once all the tuples for the group have arrived. Here we change the planner so it requests a path with a sort order which supports the most amount of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions and add new code to the executor to allow it to support the processing of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates where the tuples are already sorted in the correct order. Since there can be many ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates in any given query level, it's very possible that we can't find an order that suits all of these aggregates. The sort order that the planner chooses is simply the one that suits the most aggregate functions. We take the most strictly sorted variation of each order and see how many aggregate functions can use that, then we try again with the order of the remaining aggregates to see if another order would suit more aggregate functions. For example: SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY a,b) ... would request the sort order to be {a, b} because {a} is a subset of the sort order of {a,b}, but; SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY c) ... would just pick a plan ordered by {a} (we give precedence to aggregates which are earlier in the targetlist). SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY b),agg3(a ORDER BY b) ... would choose to order by {b} since two aggregates suit that vs just one that requires input ordered by {a}.

Tom Lane	31e5b50292	postgres_fdw: be more wary about shippability of reg* constants. ... Don't consider a constant of regconfig or other reg* types to be shippable unless it refers to a built-in object, or an object in an extension that's been marked shippable. Without this restriction, we're too likely to send a constant that will fail to parse on the remote server. For the regconfig type only, consider OIDs up to 16383 to be "built in", rather than the normal cutoff of 9999. Otherwise the initdb-created text search configurations will be considered unshippable, which is unlikely to make anyone happy. It's possible that this new restriction will de-optimize queries that were working satisfactorily before. Users can restore any lost performance by making sure that objects that can be expected to exist on the remote side are in shippable extensions. However, that's not a change that people are likely to be happy about having to make after a minor-release update.
