Fully update git head, and update back branches in ./COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml files.
2012-07-16Remove unreachable codePeter Eisentraut
The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will complain about removing this code.

2011-04-22Make GIN and GIST pass the index collation to all their support functions.Tom Lane
Experimentation with contrib/btree_gist shows that the majority of the GIST support functions potentially need collation information. Safest policy seems to be to pass it to all of them, instead of making assumptions about which ones could possibly need it.
2011-04-12Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane
Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...

2011-01-08Refactor GIN's handling of duplicate search entries.Tom Lane
The original coding could combine duplicate entries only when they originated from the same qual condition. In particular it could not combine cases where multiple qual conditions all give rise to full-index scan requests, which is an expensive case well worth optimizing. Refactor so that duplicates are recognized across all the quals.
2011-01-07Fix GIN to support null keys, empty and null items, and full index scans.Tom Lane
Per my recent proposal(s). Null key datums can now be returned by extractValue and extractQuery functions, and will be stored in the index. Also, placeholder entries are made for indexable items that are NULL or contain no keys according to extractValue. This means that the index is now always complete, having at least one entry for every indexed heap TID, and so we can get rid of the prohibition on full-index scans. A full-index scan is implemented much the same way as partial-match scans were already: we build a bitmap representing all the TIDs found in the index, and then drive the results off that. Also, introduce a concept of a "search mode" that can be requested by extractQuery when the operator requires matching to empty items (this is just as cheap as matching to a single key) or requires a full index scan (which is not so cheap, but it sure beats failing or giving wrong answers). The behavior remains backward compatible for opclasses that don't return any null keys or request a non-default search mode. Using these features, we can now make the GIN index opclass for anyarray behave in a way that matches the actual anyarray operators for &&, <@, @>, and = ... which it failed to do before in assorted corner cases. This commit fixes the core GIN code and ginarrayprocs.c, updates the documentation, and adds some simple regression test cases for the new behaviors using the array operators. The tsearch and contrib GIN opclass support functions still need to be looked over and probably fixed. Another thing I intend to fix separately is that this is pretty inefficient for cases where more than one scan condition needs a full-index search: we'll run duplicate GinScanEntrys, each one of which builds a large bitmap. There is some existing logic to merge duplicate GinScanEntrys but it needs refactoring to make it work for entries belonging to different scan keys. Note that most of gin.h has been split out into a new file gin_private.h, so that gin.h doesn't export anything that's not supposed to be used by GIN opclasses or the rest of the backend. I did quite a bit of other code beautification work as well, mostly fixing comments and choosing more appropriate names for things.

2010-10-17Fix a passel of inappropriately-named global functions in GIN.Tom Lane
The GIN code has absolutely no business exporting GIN-specific functions with names as generic as compareItemPointers() or newScanKey(); that's just trouble waiting to happen. I got annoyed about this again just now and decided to fix it. This commit ensures that all global symbols defined in access/gin/ have names including "gin" or "Gin". There were a couple of cases, like names involving "PostingItem", where arguably the names were already sufficiently nongeneric; but I figured as long as I was risking creating merge problems for unapplied GIN patches I might as well impose a uniform policy. I didn't touch any static symbol names. There might be some places where it'd be appropriate to rename some static functions to match siblings that are exported, but I'll leave that for another time.

2010-08-01Fix an additional set of problems in GIN's handling of lossy page pointers.Tom Lane
Although the key-combining code claimed to work correctly if its input contained both lossy and exact pointers for a single page in a single TID stream, in fact this did not work, and could not work without pretty fundamental redesign. Modify keyGetItem so that it will not return such a stream, by handling lossy-pointer cases a bit more explicitly than we did before. Per followup investigation of a gripe from Artur Dabrowski. An example of a query that failed given his data set is select count(*) from search_tab where (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'ee:* | dd:*')) and (to_tsvector('german', keywords ) @@ to_tsquery('german', 'aa:*')); Back-patch to 8.4 where the lossy pointer code was introduced.
2010-07-31Rewrite the key-combination logic in GIN's keyGetItem() and scanGetItem()Tom Lane
routines to make them behave better in the presence of "lossy" index pointers. The previous coding was outright incorrect for some cases, as recently reported by Artur Dabrowski: scanGetItem would fail to return index entries in cases where one index key had multiple exact pointers on the same page as another key had a lossy pointer. Also, keyGetItem was extremely inefficient for cases where a single index key generates multiple "entry" streams, such as an @@ operator with a multiple-clause tsquery. The presence of a lossy page pointer in any one stream defeated its ability to use the opclass consistentFn, resulting in probing many heap pages that didn't really need to be visited. In Artur's example case, a query like WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a & b') was about 50X slower than the theoretically equivalent WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a') AND tsvector @@ to_tsquery('b') The way that I chose to fix this was to have GIN call the consistentFn twice with both TRUE and FALSE values for the in-doubt entry stream, returning a hit if either call produces TRUE, but not if they both return FALSE. The code handles this for the case of a single in-doubt entry stream, but punts (falling back to the stupid behavior) if there's more than one lossy reference to the same page. The idea could be scaled up to deal with multiple lossy references, but I think that would probably be wasted complexity. At least to judge by Artur's example, such cases don't occur often enough to be worth trying to optimize. Back-patch to 8.4. 8.3 did not have lossy GIN index pointers, so not subject to these problems.

2009-04-05Fix infinite loop while checking of partial match in pending list.Teodor Sigaev
Improve comments. Now GIN-indexable operators should be strict. Per Tom's questions/suggestions.
2009-03-25Adjust the APIs for GIN opclass support functions to allow the extractQuery()Tom Lane
method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods. This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear contrib/btree_gin module. The APIs are still upward compatible with the definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel function definitions. catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before calling it...) Teodor Sigaev and Oleg Bartunov
2009-03-24Implement "fastupdate" support for GIN indexes, in which we try to accumulateTom Lane
multiple index entries in a holding area before adding them to the main index structure. This helps because bulk insert is (usually) significantly faster than retail insert for GIN. This patch also removes GIN support for amgettuple-style index scans. The API defined for amgettuple is difficult to support with fastupdate, and the previously committed partial-match feature didn't really work with it either. We might eventually figure a way to put back amgettuple support, but it won't happen for 8.4. catversion bumped because of change in GIN's pg_am entry, and because the format of GIN indexes changed on-disk (there's a metapage now, and possibly a pending list). Teodor Sigaev
2009-01-10Revise the TIDBitmap API to support multiple concurrent iterations over aTom Lane
bitmap. This is extracted from Greg Stark's posix_fadvise patch; it seems worth committing separately, since it's potentially useful independently of posix_fadvise.

2008-07-11Multi-column GIN indexes. Teodor SigaevTom Lane
2008-06-19Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
2008-05-16Extend GIN to support partial-match searches, and extend tsquery to supportTom Lane
prefix matching using this facility. Teodor Sigaev and Oleg Bartunov
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
2008-04-22Fix using too many LWLocks bug, reported by Craig RingerTeodor Sigaev
<craig@postnewspapers.com.au>. It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference with vacuum's deletion algorithm. Backpatch is needed.
2008-04-14Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclassTom Lane
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need 8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the index match is exact or not. Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.
2008-04-13Phase 2 of project to make index operator lossiness be determined at runtimeTom Lane
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go away in due course.
2008-04-10Replace "amgetmulti" AM functions with "amgetbitmap", in which the wholeTom Lane
indexscan always occurs in one call, and the results are returned in a TIDBitmap instead of a limited-size array of TIDs. This should improve speed a little by reducing AM entry/exit overhead, and it is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support bitmap indexes. In an only slightly related change, add support for TIDBitmaps to preserve (somewhat lossily) the knowledge that particular TIDs reported by an index need to have their quals rechecked when the heap is visited. This facility is not really used yet; we'll need to extend the forced-recheck feature to plain indexscans before it's useful, and that hasn't been coded yet. The intent is to use it to clean up 8.3's horrid @@@ kluge for text search with weighted queries. There might be other uses in future, but that one alone is sufficient reason. Heikki Linnakangas, with some adjustments by me.

2007-06-04Fix bundle bugs of GIN:Teodor Sigaev
- Fix possible deadlock between UPDATE and VACUUM queries. Bug never was observed in 8.2, but it still exist there. HEAD is more sensitive to bug after recent "ring" of buffer improvements. - Fix WAL creation: if parent page is stored as is after split then incomplete split isn't removed during replay. This happens rather rare, only on large tables with a lot of updates/inserts. - Fix WAL replay: there was wrong test of XLR_BKP_BLOCK_* for left page after deletion of page. That causes wrong rightlink field: it pointed to deleted page. - add checking of match of clearing incomplete split - cleanup incomplete split list after proceeding All of this chages doesn't change on-disk storage, so backpatch... But second point may be an issue for replaying logs from previous version.

2007-01-31Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.Teodor Sigaev
In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for nentries argument. Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found or seqscan should be used. Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.
