When processing ordered aggregates following a sort that could make use
of the abbreviated key optimization, only call the equality operator to
compare successive pairs of tuples when their abbreviated keys were not
equal.

Commit 45f6240a8fa9d355 added an assumption in ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches
and ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets that they could find all tuples in the main
hash table by iterating over the "dense storage" introduced by that patch.
However, ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket continued its old practice of simply
re-linking deleted skew tuples into the main table's hashchains. Hence,
such tuples got lost during any subsequent increase in nbatch or nbuckets,
and would never get joined, as reported in bug #13908 from Seth P.
I (tgl) think that the aforesaid commit has got multiple design issues
and should be reworked rather completely; but there is no time for that
right now, so band-aid the problem by making ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket
physically copy deleted skew tuples into the "dense storage" arena.
The added test case is able to exhibit the problem by means of fooling the
planner with a WHERE condition that it will underestimate the selectivity
of, causing the initial nbatch estimate to be too small.

investigation into the bug report.

Commit 30d7ae3c76d2de144232ae6ab328ca86b70e72c3 introduced an HJDEBUG
stanza that probably didn't compile at the time, and definitely doesn't
compile now, because it refers to a nonexistent variable. It doesn't seem
terribly useful anyway, so just get rid of it.
While I'm fooling with it, use %z modifier instead of the obsolete hack of
casting size_t to unsigned long, and include the HashJoinTable's address in
each printout so that it's possible to distinguish the activities of
multiple hashjoins occurring in one query.
Noted while trying to use HJDEBUG to investigate bug #13908. Back-patch
to 9.5, because code that doesn't compile is certainly not very helpful.

This patch doesn't put the new infrastructure to use anywhere, and
indeed it's not clear how it could ever be used for something like
postgres_fdw which has to send an SQL query and wait for a reply,
but there might be FDWs or custom scan providers that are CPU-bound,
so let's give them a way to join club parallel.

Previously, the foreign join pushdown infrastructure left the question
of security entirely up to individual FDWs, but it would be easy for
a foreign data wrapper to inadvertently open up subtle security holes
that way. So, make it the core code's job to determine which user
mapping OID is relevant, and don't attempt join pushdown unless it's
the same for all relevant relations.

The core innovation of this patch is the introduction of the concept
of a partial path; that is, a path which if executed in parallel will
generate a subset of the output rows in each process. Gathering a
partial path produces an ordinary (complete) path. This allows us to
generate paths for parallel joins by joining a partial path for one
side (which at the baserel level is currently always a Partial Seq
Scan) to an ordinary path on the other side. This is subject to
various restrictions at present, especially that this strategy seems
unlikely to be sensible for merge joins, so only nested loops and
hash joins paths are generated.
This also allows an Append node to be pushed below a Gather node in
the case of a partitioned table.
Testing revealed that early versions of this patch made poor decisions
in some cases, which turned out to be caused by the fact that the
original cost model for Parallel Seq Scan wasn't very good. So this
patch tries to make some modest improvements in that area.
There is much more to be done in the area of generating good parallel
plans in all cases, but this seems like a useful step forward.

Aggregate nodes now have two new modes: a "partial" mode where they
output the unfinalized transition state, and a "finalize" mode where
they accept unfinalized transition states rather than individual
values as input.
These new modes are not used anywhere yet, but they will be necessary
for parallel aggregation. The infrastructure also figures to be
useful for cases where we want to aggregate local data and remote
data via the FDW interface, and want to bring back partial aggregates
from the remote side that can then be combined with locally generated
partial aggregates to produce the final value. It may also be useful
even when neither FDWs nor parallelism are in play, as explained in
the comments in nodeAgg.c.

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.

The original coding read tuples from workers in round-robin fashion,
but performance testing shows that it works much better to read enough
to empty one queue before moving on to the next. I believe the
reason for this is that, with the old approach, we could easily wake
up a worker repeatedly to write only one new tuple into the shm_mq
each time. With this approach, by the time the process gets scheduled,
it has a decent chance of being able to fill the entire buffer in
one go.
Patch by me. Dilip Kumar helped with performance testing.

ExecOnConflictUpdate() passed t_ctid of the to-be-updated tuple to
ExecUpdate(). That's problematic primarily because of two reason: First
and foremost t_ctid could point to a different tuple. Secondly, and
that's what triggered the complaint by Stanislav, t_ctid is changed by
heap_update() to point to the new tuple version. The behavior of AFTER
UPDATE triggers was therefore broken, with NEW.* and OLD.* tuples
spuriously identical within AFTER UPDATE triggers.
To fix both issues, pass a pointer to t_self of a on-stack HeapTuple
instead.
Fixing this bug lead to one change in regression tests, which previously
failed due to the first issue mentioned above. There's a reasonable
expectation that test fails, as it updates one row repeatedly within one
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT statement. That is only possible if the second
update is triggered via ON CONFLICT ... SET, ON CONFLICT ... WHERE, or
by a WITH CHECK expression, as those are executed after
ExecOnConflictUpdate() does a visibility check. That could easily be
prohibited, but given it's allowed for plain UPDATEs and a rare corner
case, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

The original parallel sequential scan commit included only very limited
changes to the EXPLAIN output. Aggregated totals from all workers were
displayed, but there was no way to see what each individual worker did
or to distinguish the effort made by the workers from the effort made by
the leader.

Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.
To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

The previous coding attempts to destroy the DSM in this case, but
child nodes might have stored data there and still be holding onto
pointers in this case. So don't do that.
Also, free the reader array instead of leaking it.

When I wrote this code originally, the intention was to recompute the
remapinfo only when the tupledesc changes. This presumably only
happens once per query, but I copied the design pattern from other
DestReceivers. However, due to a silly oversight on my part,
tqueue->tupledesc never got set, leading to recomputation for every
tuple.
This should improve the performance of parallel scans that return a
significant number of tuples.

In addition, this path fills in a number of missing bits and pieces in
the parallel infrastructure. Paths and plans now have a parallel_aware
flag indicating whether whatever parallel-aware logic they have should
be engaged. It is believed that we will need this flag for a number of
path/plan types, not just sequential scans, which is why the flag is
generic rather than part of the SeqScan structures specifically.
Also, execParallel.c now gives parallel nodes a chance to initialize
their PlanState nodes from the DSM during parallel worker startup.

patch versions by Haribabu Kommi and others.

Commit 4a4e6893aa080b9094dadbe0e65f8a75fee41ac6, which introduced this
mechanism, failed to account for the fact that the RECORD pseudo-type
uses transient typmods that are only meaningful within a single
backend. Transferring such tuples without modification between two
cooperating backends does not work. This commit installs a system
for passing the tuple descriptors over the same shm_mq being used to
send the tuples themselves. The two sides might not assign the same
transient typmod to any given tuple descriptor, so we must also
substitute the appropriate receiver-side typmod for the one used by
the sender. That adds some CPU overhead, but still seems better than
being unable to pass records between cooperating parallel processes.
Along the way, move the logic for handling multiple tuple queues from
tqueue.c to nodeGather.c; tqueue.c now provides a TupleQueueReader,
which reads from a single queue, rather than a TupleQueueFunnel, which
potentially reads from multiple queues. This change was suggested
previously as a way to make sure that nodeGather.c rather than tqueue.c
had policy control over the order in which to read from queues, but
it wasn't clear to me until now how good an idea it was. typmod
mapping needs to be performed separately for each queue, and it is
much simpler if the tqueue.c code handles that and leaves multiplexing
multiple queues to higher layers of the stack.

Commit d1b7c1ffe72e86932b5395f29e006c3f503bc53d introduced a mechanism
for serializing a ParamListInfo structure to be passed to a parallel
worker. However, this mechanism failed to handle external expanded
values, as pointed out by Noah Misch. Repair.
Moreover, plpgsql_param_fetch requires adjustment because the
serialization mechanism needs it to skip evaluating unused parameters
just as we would do when it is called from copyParamList, but params
== estate->paramLI in that case. To fix, make the bms_is_member test
in that function unconditional.
Finally, have setup_param_list set a new ParamListInfo field,
paramMask, to the parameters actually used in the expression, so that
we don't try to fetch those that are not needed when serializing a
parameter list. This isn't necessary for correctness, but it makes
the performance of the parallel executor code comparable to what we
do for cases involving cursors.

Commit b0b0d84b3d663a148022e900ebfc164284a95f55 purported to make it
possible to relaunch workers using the same parallel context, but it had
an unpleasant race condition: we might reinitialize after the workers
have sent their last control message but before they have dettached the
DSM, leaving to crashes. Repair by introducing a new ParallelContext
operation, ReinitializeParallelDSM.
Adjust execParallel.c to use this new support, so that we can rescan a
Gather node by relaunching workers but without needing to recreate the
DSM.

The original Gather code failed to mark a Gather node as not able to
do projection, but it couldn't, even though it did call initialize its
projection info via ExecAssignProjectionInfo. There doesn't seem to
be any good reason for this node not to have projection capability,
so clean things up so that it does. Without this, plans using Gather
nodes might need to carry extra Result nodes to do projection.

In the previous coding, before returning from ExecutorRun, we'd shut
down all parallel workers. This was dead wrong if ExecutorRun was
called with a non-zero tuple count; it had the effect of truncating
the query output. To fix, give ExecutePlan control over whether to
enter parallel mode, and have it refuse to do so if the tuple count
is non-zero. Rewrite the Gather logic so that it can cope with being
called outside parallel mode.
Commit 7aea8e4f2daa4b39ca9d1309a0c4aadb0f7ed81b is largely to blame
for this problem, though this patch modifies some subsequently-committed
code which relied on the guarantees it purported to make.

This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating
the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual
machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized
nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if
it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter
values.
This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a
new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which
push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they
have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5,
even though the bug is not new in 9.5.

On reflection, the submitted patch didn't really work to prevent the
request size from exceeding MaxAllocSize, because of the fact that we'd
happily round nbuckets up to the next power of 2 after we'd limited it to
max_pointers. The simplest way to enforce the limit correctly is to
round max_pointers down to a power of 2 when it isn't one already.
(Note that the constraint to INT_MAX / 2, if it were doing anything useful
at all, is properly applied after that.)

Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than
MaxAllocSize, per reports from Kouhei Kaigai and others of "invalid memory
alloc request size" failures. There was discussion of allowing the array
to get larger than that by using the "huge" palloc API, but so far no proof
that that is actually a good idea, and at this point in the 9.5 cycle major
changes from old behavior don't seem like the way to go.
Fix a rather serious secondary bug in the new code, which was that it
didn't ensure nbuckets remained a power of 2 when recomputing it for the
multiple-batch case.
Clean up sloppy division of labor between ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets and
its sole call site.

A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal
number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple
stream. It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are
unavailable or haven't started up yet. It is intended to work with
the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits.
It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort
by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode
is used. In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel
leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results. So, a Gather
node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan
across two processes. Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported,
but we might want to add support for that in the future.
There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet,
so it's not quite time to break out the champagne. But we're getting
close.

This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up
parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed
in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed
down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs,
such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared.
Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of
parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as
needed.
