2019-06-13postgres_fdw: Account for triggers in non-direct remote UPDATE planning.Etsuro Fujita
Previously, in postgresPlanForeignModify, we planned an UPDATE operation on a foreign table so that we transmit only columns that were explicitly targets of the UPDATE, so as to avoid unnecessary data transmission, but if there were BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers on the foreign table, those triggers might change values for non-target columns, in which case we would miss sending changed values for those columns. Prevent optimizing away transmitting all columns if there are BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers on the foreign table. This is an oversight in commit 7cbe57c34 which added triggers on foreign tables, so apply the patch all the way back to 9.4 where that came in.

2019-05-13postgres_fdw: Fix typo in comment.Etsuro Fujita
2019-04-27Avoid postgres_fdw crash for a targetlist entry that's just a Param.Tom Lane
foreign_grouping_ok() is willing to put fairly arbitrary expressions into the targetlist of a remote SELECT that's doing grouping or aggregation on the remote side, including expressions that have no foreign component to them at all. This is possibly a bit dubious from an efficiency standpoint; but it rises to the level of a crash-causing bug if the expression is just a Param or non-foreign Var. In that case, the expression will necessarily also appear in the fdw_exprs list of values we need to send to the remote server, and then setrefs.c's set_foreignscan_references will mistakenly replace the fdw_exprs entry with a Var referencing the targetlist result. The root cause of this problem is bad design in commit e7cb7ee14: it put logic into set_foreignscan_references that IMV is postgres_fdw-specific, and yet this bug shows that it isn't postgres_fdw-specific enough. The transformation being done on fdw_exprs assumes that fdw_exprs is to be evaluated with the fdw_scan_tlist as input, which is not how postgres_fdw uses it; yet it could be the right thing for some other FDW. (In the bigger picture, setrefs.c has no business assuming this for the other expression fields of a ForeignScan either.) The right fix therefore would be to expand the FDW API so that the FDW could inform setrefs.c how it intends to evaluate these various expressions. We can't change that in the back branches though, and we also can't just summarily change setrefs.c's behavior there, or we're likely to break external FDWs. As a stopgap, therefore, hack up postgres_fdw so that it won't attempt to send targetlist entries that look exactly like the fdw_exprs entries they'd produce. In most cases this actually produces a superior plan, IMO, with less data needing to be transmitted and returned; so we probably ought to think harder about whether we should ship tlist expressions at all when they don't contain any foreign Vars or Aggs. But that's an optimization not a bug fix so I left it for later. One case where this produces an inferior plan is where the expression in question is actually a GROUP BY expression: then the restriction prevents us from using remote grouping. It might be possible to work around that (since that would reduce to group-by-a-constant on the remote side); but it seems like a pretty unlikely corner case, so I'm not sure it's worth expending effort solely to improve that. In any case the right long-term answer is to fix the API as sketched above, and then revert this hack. Per bug #15781 from Sean Johnston. Back-patch to v10 where the problem was introduced.

2019-04-24postgres_fdw: Fix incorrect handling of row movement for remote partitions.Etsuro Fujita
Commit 3d956d9562 added support for update row movement in postgres_fdw. This patch fixes the following issues introduced by that commit: * When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an UPDATE subplan target rel that would be updated later, the UPDATE that used a direct modification plan modified those routed rows incorrectly because those routed rows were visible to the later UPDATE command. The right fix for this would be to have some way in postgres_fdw in which the later UPDATE command ignores those routed rows, but it seems hard to do so with the current infrastructure. For now throw an error in that case. * When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an UPDATE subplan target rel, fmstate created for the UPDATE that used a non-direct modification plan was mistakenly overridden by another fmstate created for inserting those routed rows into the partition. This caused 1) server crash when the partition would be updated later, and 2) resource leak when the partition had been already updated. To avoid that, adjust the treatment of the fmstate for the inserting. As for #1, since we would also have the incorrectness issue as mentioned above, error out in that case as well. Update the docs to mention that postgres_fdw currently does not handle the case where a remote partition chosen to insert a routed row into is also an UPDATE subplan target rel that will be updated later.

2019-02-07Ensure that foreign scans with lateral refs are planned correctly.Tom Lane
As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the relation has lateral_relids. Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake, so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally. Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid examples for external FDWs. Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to create_foreignscan_path. This shouldn't pose much of a problem for existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw). Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

2018-12-12Repair bogus EPQ plans generated for postgres_fdw foreign joins.Tom Lane
postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the outer_plan it's given for a join relation must have a NestLoop, MergeJoin, or HashJoin node at the top. That's been wrong at least since commit 4bbf6edfb (which could cause insertion of a Sort node on top) and it seems like a pretty unsafe thing to Just Assume even without that. Through blind good fortune, this doesn't seem to have any worse consequences today than strange EXPLAIN output, but it's clearly trouble waiting to happen. To fix, test the node type explicitly before touching Join-specific fields, and avoid jamming the new tlist into a node type that can't do projection. Export a new support function from createplan.c to avoid building low-level knowledge about the latter into FDWs. Back-patch to 9.6 where the faulty coding was added. Note that the associated regression test cases don't show any changes before v11, apparently because the tests back-patched with 4bbf6edfb don't actually exercise the problem case before then (there's no top-level Sort in those plans).

Commit aa09cd242 changed a condition in find_em_expr_for_rel from being a bms_equal comparison of relids to bms_is_subset, in order to support order by clauses on foreign joins. But this also allows through the degenerate case of expressions with no Vars at all (and hence empty relids), including integer constants which will be parsed unexpectedly on the remote (viz.

2018-05-01Fix interaction of foreign tuple routing with remote triggers.Robert Haas
Without these fixes, changes to the inserted tuple made by remote triggers are ignored when building local RETURNING tuples. In the core code, call ExecInitRoutingInfo at a later point from within ExecInitPartitionInfo so that the FDW callback gets invoked after the returning list has been built. But move CheckValidResultRel out of ExecInitRoutingInfo so that it can happen at an earlier stage. In postgres_fdw, refactor assorted deparsing functions to work with the RTE rather than the PlannerInfo, which saves us having to construct a fake PlannerInfo in cases where we don't have a real one. Then, we can pass down a constructed RTE that yields the correct deparse result when no real one exists. Unfortunately, this necessitates a hack that understands how the core code manages RT indexes for update tuple routing, which is ugly, but we don't have a better idea right now. Original report, analysis, and patch by Etsuro Fujita. Heavily refactored by me. Then worked over some more by Amit Langote. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/5AD4882B.10002@lab.ntt.co.jp

2018-04-20Change more places to be less trusting of RestrictInfo.is_pushed_down.Tom Lane
On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also check the clause's required_relids. Otherwise we could make incorrect decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause. Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway. However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort. In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-04-02postgres_fdw: Push down partition-wise aggregation.Robert Haas
Since commit 7012b132d07c2b4ea15b0b3cb1ea9f3278801d98, postgres_fdw has been able to push down the toplevel aggregation operation to the remote server. Commit e2f1eb0ee30d144628ab523432320f174a2c8966 made it possible to break down the toplevel aggregation into one aggregate per partition. This commit lets postgres_fdw push down aggregation in that case just as it does at the top level. In order to make this work, this commit adds an additional argument to the GetForeignUpperPaths FDW API. A matching argument is added to the signature for create_upper_paths_hook. Third-party code using either of these will need to be updated. Also adjust create_foreignscan_plan() so that it picks up the correct set of relids in this case.

2018-02-07postgres_fdw: Push down UPDATE/DELETE joins to remote servers.Robert Haas
Commit 0bf3ae88af330496517722e391e7c975e6bad219 allowed direct foreign table modification; instead of fetching each row, updating it locally, and then pushing the modification back to the remote side, we would instead do all the work on the remote server via a single remote UPDATE or DELETE command. However, that commit only enabled this optimization when join tree consisted only of the target table. This change allows the same optimization when an UPDATE statement has a FROM clause or a DELETE statement has a USING clause. This works much like ordinary foreign join pushdown, in that the tables must be on the same remote server, relevant parts of the query must be pushdown-safe, and so forth.

2018-01-17postgres_fdw: Avoid 'outer pathkeys do not match mergeclauses' error.Robert Haas
When pushing down a join to a foreign server, postgres_fdw constructs an alternative plan to be used for any EvalPlanQual rechecks that prove to be necessary. This plan is stored as the outer subplan of the Foreign Scan implementing the pushed-down join. Previously, this alternative plan could have a different nominal sort ordering than its parent, which seemed OK since there will only be one tuple per base table anyway in the case of an EvalPlanQual recheck. Actually, though, it caused a problem if that path was used as a building block for the EvalPlanQual recheck plan of a higher-level foreign join, because we could end up with a merge join one of whose inputs was not labelled with the correct sort order. Repair by injecting an extra Sort node into the EvalPlanQual recheck plan whenever it would otherwise fail to be sorted at least as well as its parent Foreign Scan. Report by Jeff Janes. Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane, who also provided the test case and comment text. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1y2G8VOVBHv3iXU2TMAj7-RyBFFW1uhkr5sm9LQ2=X35g@mail.gmail.com
2018-01-12Fix postgres_fdw to cope with duplicate GROUP BY entries.Tom Lane
Commit 7012b132d, which added the ability to push down aggregates and grouping to the remote server, wasn't careful to ensure that the remote server would have the same idea we do about which columns are the grouping columns, in cases where there are textually identical GROUP BY expressions. Such cases typically led to "targetlist item has multiple sortgroupref labels" errors. To fix this reliably, switch over to using "GROUP BY column-number" syntax rather than "GROUP BY expression" in transmitted queries, and adjust foreign_grouping_ok() to be more careful about duplicating the sortgroupref labeling of the local pathtarget.

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-04-24postgres_fdw: Fix join push down with extensionsPeter Eisentraut
Objects in an extension are shippable to a foreign server if the extension is part of the foreign server definition's shippable extensions list. But this was not properly considered in some cases when checking whether a join condition can be pushed to a foreign server and the join condition uses an object from a shippable extension. So the join would never be pushed down in those cases. So, the list of extensions needs to be made available in fpinfo of the relation being considered to be pushed down before any expressions are assessed for being shippable. Fix foreign_join_ok() to do that for a join relation. The code to save FDW options in fpinfo is scattered at multiple places. Bring all of that together into functions apply_server_options(), apply_table_options(), and merge_fdw_options(). David Rowley and Ashutosh Bapat, per report from David Rowley
2017-04-11Simplify handling of remote-qual pass-forward in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
Commit 0bf3ae88a encountered a need to pass the finally chosen remote qual conditions forward from postgresGetForeignPlan to postgresPlanDirectModify. It solved that by sticking them into the plan node's fdw_private list, which in hindsight was a pretty bad idea. In the first place, there's no use for those qual trees either in EXPLAIN or execution; indeed they could never safely be used for any post-planning purposes, because they would not get processed by setrefs.c. So they're just dead weight to carry around in the finished plan tree, plus being an attractive nuisance for somebody who might get the idea that they could be used that way. Secondly, because those qual trees (sometimes) contained RestrictInfos, they created a plan-transmission hazard for parallel query, which is how come we noticed a problem. We dealt with that symptom in commit 28b047875, but really a more straightforward and more efficient fix is to pass the data through in a new field of struct PgFdwRelationInfo. So do it that way. (There's no need to revert 28b047875, as it has sufficient reason to live anyway.) Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87tw5x4vcu.fsf@credativ.de
2017-04-11Handle restriction clause lists more uniformly in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane
Clauses in the lists retained by postgres_fdw during planning were sometimes bare boolean clauses, sometimes RestrictInfos, and sometimes a mixture of the two in the same list. The comment about that situation didn't come close to telling the full truth, either. Aside from being confusing, this had a couple of bad practical consequences: * waste of planning cycles due to inability to cache per-clause selectivity and cost estimates; * sometimes, RestrictInfos would sneak into the fdw_private list of a finished Plan node, causing failures if, for example, we tried to ship the Plan tree to a parallel worker. (It may well be that it's a bug in the parallel-query logic that we would ever try to ship such a plan to a parallel worker, but in any case this deserves to be cleaned up.) To fix, rearrange so that clause lists in PgFdwRelationInfo are always lists of RestrictInfos, and then strip the RestrictInfos at the last minute when making a Plan node. In passing do a bit of refactoring and comment cleanup in postgresGetForeignPlan and foreign_join_ok. Although the messiness here dates back at least to 9.6, there's no evidence that it causes anything worse than wasted planning cycles in 9.6, so no back-patch for now.

Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way.

2017-04-03Abstract logic to allow for multiple kinds of child rels.Robert Haas
Currently, the only type of child relation is an "other member rel", which is the child of a baserel, but in the future joins and even upper relations may have child rels. To facilitate that, introduce macros that test to test for particular RelOptKind values, and use them in various places where they help to clarify the sense of a test. (For example, a test may allow RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL either because it intends to allow child rels, or because it intends to allow simple rels.) Also, remove find_childrel_top_parent, which will not work for a child rel that is not a baserel.

2017-03-25Faster expression evaluation and targetlist projection.Andres Freund
This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation. Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation. This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier. The speed gains primarily come from: - non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead - simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without function calls - sharing some state between different sub-expressions - reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of nearly all of the previously used linked lists - more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding constant re-checks at evaluation time Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation. The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.: - basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where initialization overhead is measurable. - optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential work has already been made. - optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have been made here too. The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some backward-incompatible changes: - Function permission checks are now done during expression initialization, whereas previously they were done during execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a different array type previously didn't perform checks. - The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once during expression initialization, previously it was re-built every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior around might still change.

2017-03-16postgres_fdw: Push down FULL JOINs with restriction clauses.Robert Haas
The previous deparsing logic wasn't smart enough to produce subqueries when deparsing; make it smart enough to do that. However, we only do it that way when necessary, because it generates more complicated SQL which will be harder for any humans reading the queries to understand.

2017-03-09Fix hard-coded relkind constants in assorted other files.Tom Lane
Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. I think I've now gotten all the hard-coded references in C code. Unfortunately there's no equally convenient way to parameterize SQL files ...

2017-01-19Remove obsoleted code relating to targetlist SRF evaluation.Andres Freund
Since 69f4b9c plain expression evaluation (and thus normal projection) can't return sets of tuples anymore. Thus remove code dealing with that possibility. This will require adjustments in external code using ExecEvalExpr()/ExecProject() - that should neither be hard nor very common.

2016-10-21postgres_fdw: Push down aggregates to remote servers.Robert Haas
Now that the upper planner uses paths, and now that we have proper hooks to inject paths into the upper planning process, it's possible for foreign data wrappers to arrange to push aggregates to the remote side instead of fetching all of the rows and aggregating them locally. This figures to be a massive win for performance, so teach postgres_fdw to do it. Jeevan Chalke and Ashutosh Bapat. Reviewed by Ashutosh Bapat with additional testing by Prabhat Sahu.
