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.
2010-08-01Rewrite the rbtree routines so that an RBNode is the first field of theTom Lane
struct representing a tree entry, rather than being a separately allocated piece of storage. This API is at least as clean as the old one (if not more so --- there were some bizarre choices in there) and it permits a very substantial memory savings, on the order of 2X in ginbulk.c's usage. Also, fix minor memory leaks in code called by ginEntryInsert, in particular in ginInsertValue and entryFillRoot, as well as ginEntryInsert itself. These leaks resulted in the GIN index build context continuing to bloat even after we'd filled it to maintenance_work_mem and started to dump data out to the index. In combination these fixes restore the GIN index build code to honoring the maintenance_work_mem limit about as well as it did in 8.4. Speed seems on par with 8.4 too, maybe even a bit faster, for a non-pathological case in which HEAD was formerly slower. Back-patch to 9.0 so we don't have a performance regression from 8.4.
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.

2010-02-11Generic implementation of red-black binary tree. It's planned to use inTeodor Sigaev
several places, but for now only GIN uses it during index creation. Using self-balanced tree greatly speeds up index creation in corner cases with preordered data.
2010-02-09Fix bug in GIN WAL redo cleanup function: don't free fake relcache entryHeikki Linnakangas
while it's still being used. Backpatch to 8.4, where the fake relcache method was introduced.
2010-02-08Remove old-style VACUUM FULL (which was known for a little while asTom Lane
VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity. Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby. Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last being the sticking point for Hot Standby). We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.

2009-12-19Allow read only connections during recovery, known as Hot Standby.Simon Riggs
Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record. New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far. This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required. Simon Riggs, with significant and lengthy review by Heikki Linnakangas, including streamlined redesign of snapshot creation and two-phase commit. Important contributions from Florian Pflug, Mark Kirkwood, Merlin Moncure, Greg Stark, Gianni Ciolli, Gabriele Bartolini, Hannu Krosing, Robert Haas, Tatsuo Ishii, Hiroyuki Yamada plus support and feedback from many other community members.
2009-11-13Fix multicolumn GIN's wrong results with fastupdate enabled.Teodor Sigaev
User-defined consistent functions believes the check array contains at least one true element which was not a true for scanning pending list. Per report from Yury Don <yura@vpcit.ru>
2009-10-02Make sure that GIN fast-insert and regular code paths enforce the sameTom Lane
tuple size limit. Improve the error message for index-tuple-too-large so that it includes the actual size, the limit, and the index name. Sync with the btree occurrences of the same error. Back-patch to 8.4 because it appears that the out-of-sync problem is occurring in the field. Teodor and Tom
2009-09-15Fix two distinct errors in creation of GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE xlog records.Tom Lane
In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on, because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes off a WAL replay failure was certain. The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch. In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the errors were always in the conservative direction.) Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.
2009-07-29Support deferrable uniqueness constraints.Tom Lane
The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts, but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case is a TODO item. Dean Rasheed

provided by Andrew.
2009-06-06Improve the IndexVacuumInfo/IndexBulkDeleteResult API to allow somewhat saneTom Lane
behavior in cases where we don't know the heap tuple count accurately; in particular partial vacuum, but this also makes the API a bit more useful for ANALYZE. This patch adds "estimated_count" flags to both structs so that an approximate count can be flagged as such, and adjusts the logic so that approximate counts are not used for updating pg_class.reltuples. This fixes my previous complaint that VACUUM was putting ridiculous values into pg_class.reltuples for indexes. The actual impact of that bug is limited, because the planner only pays attention to reltuples for an index if the index is partial; which probably explains why beta testers hadn't noticed a degradation in plan quality from it. But it needs to be fixed. The whole thing is a bit messy and should be redesigned in future, because reltuples now has the potential to drift quite far away from reality when a long period elapses with no non-partial vacuums. But this is as good as it's going to get for 8.4.
2009-06-06Fix a serious bug introduced into GIN in 8.4: now that MergeItemPointers()Tom Lane
is supposed to remove duplicate heap TIDs, we have to be sure to reduce the tuple size and posting-item count accordingly in addItemPointersToTuple(). Failing to do so resulted in the effective injection of garbage TIDs into the index contents, ie, whatever happened to be in the memory palloc'd for the new tuple. I'm not sure that this fully explains the index corruption reported by Tatsuo Ishii, but the test case I'm using no longer fails.
2009-05-19Fix bug #4814 (wrong subscript in consistent-function call), and add someTom Lane
minimal regression test coverage for matchPartialInPendingList().
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
2009-03-24Install a search tree depth limit in GIN bulk-insert operations, to preventTom Lane
them from degrading badly when the input is sorted or nearly so. In this scenario the tree is unbalanced to the point of becoming a mere linked list, so insertions become O(N^2). The easiest and most safely back-patchable solution is to stop growing the tree sooner, ie limit the growth of N. We might later consider a rebalancing tree algorithm, but it's not clear that the benefit would be worth the cost and complexity. Per report from Sergey Burladyan and an earlier complaint from Heikki. Back-patch to 8.2; older versions didn't have GIN indexes.
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
2009-01-20Add a new option to RestoreBkpBlocks() to indicate if a cleanup lock shouldHeikki Linnakangas
be used instead of the normal exclusive lock, and make WAL redo functions responsible for calling RestoreBkpBlocks(). They know better what kind of a lock they need. At the moment, this just moves things around with no functional change, but makes the hot standby patch that's under review cleaner.
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.
2009-01-05Change the reloptions machinery to use a table-based parser, and provideAlvaro Herrera
a more complete framework for writing custom option processing routines by user-defined access methods. Catalog version bumped due to the general API changes, which are going to affect user-defined "amoptions" routines.
2009-01-01Update copyright for 2009.Bruce Momjian
2008-11-19Rethink the way FSM truncation works. Instead of WAL-logging FSMHeikki Linnakangas
truncations in FSM code, call FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel from smgr_redo. To make that cleaner from modularity point of view, move the WAL-logging one level up to RelationTruncate, and move RelationTruncate and all the related WAL-logging to new src/backend/catalog/storage.c file. Introduce new RelationCreateStorage and RelationDropStorage functions that are used instead of calling smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink directly. Move the pending rel deletion stuff from smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink to the new functions. This leaves smgr.c as a thin wrapper around md.c; all the transactional stuff is now in storage.c. This will make it easier to add new forks with similar truncation logic, like the visibility map.
2008-11-13Prevent synchronous scan during GIN index build, because GIN is optimizedTom Lane
for inserting tuples in increasing TID order. It's not clear whether this fully explains Ivan Sergio Borgonovo's complaint, but simple testing confirms that a scan that doesn't start at block 0 can slow GIN build by a factor of three or four. Backpatch to 8.3. Sync scan didn't exist before that.
2008-11-03Clean up the messy semantics (not to mention inefficiency) of PageGetTempPageTom Lane
by splitting it into three functions with better-defined behaviors. Zdenek Kotala
2008-10-31Unite ReadBufferWithFork, ReadBufferWithStrategy, and ZeroOrReadBufferHeikki Linnakangas
functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file, and the new page is "torn". Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.
2008-10-20Remove mark/restore support in GIN and GiST indexes.Teodor Sigaev
Per Tom's comment. Also revome useless GISTScanOpaque->flags field.
2008-10-06Index FSMs needs to be vacuumed as well. Report by Jeff Davis.Heikki Linnakangas
2008-09-30Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, theHeikki Linnakangas
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM). This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation. Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.

2008-07-08Minor improvements to the Gin internal documentation.Neil Conway
2008-07-04Fix initialization of GinScanEntryData.partialMatchTeodor Sigaev
2008-06-29Remove unnecessary coziness of GIN code with datum copying. Now thatTom Lane
space is tracked via GetMemoryChunkSpace, there's really no advantage to duplicating datumCopy's innards here. This is one bit of my toast indirection patch that should go in anyway.
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.
2008-06-12Refactor XLogOpenRelation() and XLogReadBuffer() in preparation for relationHeikki Linnakangas
forks. XLogOpenRelation() and the associated light-weight relation cache in xlogutils.c is gone, and XLogReadBuffer() now takes a RelFileNode as argument, instead of Relation. For functions that still need a Relation struct during WAL replay, there's a new function called CreateFakeRelcacheEntry() that returns a fake entry like XLogOpenRelation() used to.
2008-06-08Move BufferGetPageSize and BufferGetPage from bufpage.h to bufmgr.h. It isAlvaro Herrera
more logical that way, and also it reduces the amount of unnecessary includes in bufpage.h, which is widely used. Zdenek Kotala. My previous patch to bufpage.h should also have credited him as author, but I forgot (sorry about that).
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
2008-05-16Persuade GIN to react to control-C in a reasonable amount of timeTom Lane
while building a GIN index.
2008-05-12Put back bufmgr.h in bufpage.h -- it is needed by some macros.Alvaro Herrera
Remove #include bufmgr.h from (most?) source files which already include bufpage.h.
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.
2008-03-20Make source code READMEs more consistent. Add CVS tags to all README files.Bruce Momjian
