2019-04-02Report progress of CREATE INDEX operationsAlvaro Herrera
This uses the progress reporting infrastructure added by c16dc1aca5e0, adding support for CREATE INDEX and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. There are two pieces to this: one is index-AM-agnostic, and the other is AM-specific. The latter is fairly elaborate for btrees, including reportage for parallel index builds and the separate phases that btree index creation uses; other index AMs, which are much simpler in their building procedures, have simplistic reporting only, but that seems sufficient, at least for non-concurrent builds. The index-AM-agnostic part is fairly complete, providing insight into the CONCURRENTLY wait phases as well as block-based progress during the index validation table scan. (The index validation index scan requires patching each AM, which has not been included here.)

2019-04-02Add support for partial TOAST decompressionStephen Frost
When asked for a slice of a TOAST entry, decompress enough to return the slice instead of decompressing the entire object. For use cases where the slice is at, or near, the beginning of the entry, this avoids a lot of unnecessary decompression work. This changes the signature of pglz_decompress() by adding a boolean to indicate if it's ok for the call to finish before consuming all of the source or destination buffers.

2019-04-01Unified logging system for command-line programsPeter Eisentraut
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs. Features: - Program name is automatically prefixed. - Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common source of inconsistencies and omissions. - Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes. - I converted error message strings to use %m where possible. - As a result of the above several points, more translatable message strings can be shared between different components and between frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace differences. - There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or verbose modes. - Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at some level is disabled. - Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be customized by setting PG_COLORS. - Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to pass "progname" around everywhere. - Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This is now done centrally. Soft goals: - Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting in the source code. - Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example, in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code whether a message was meant as an error or just an info. - Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging frameworks such as log4j and Python logging. This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that. Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit, and I adapted those. I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now changed to stderr.

2019-04-01Throw error in jsonb_path_match() when result is not single booleanAlexander Korotkov
jsonb_path_match() checks if jsonb document matches jsonpath query. Therefore, jsonpath query should return single boolean.

2019-03-28Add basic infrastructure for 64 bit transaction IDs.Thomas Munro
Instead of inferring epoch progress from xids and checkpoints, introduce a 64 bit FullTransactionId type and use it to track xid generation. This fixes an unlikely bug where the epoch is reported incorrectly if the range of active xids wraps around more than once between checkpoints. The only user-visible effect of this commit is to correct the epoch used by txid_current() and txid_status(), also visible with pg_controldata, in those rare circumstances. It also creates some basic infrastructure so that later patches can use 64 bit transaction IDs in more places. The new type is a struct that we pass by value, as a form of strong typedef. This prevents the sort of accidental confusion between TransactionId and FullTransactionId that would be possible if we were to use a plain old uint64.

2019-03-25Improve planner's selectivity estimates for inequalities on CTID.Tom Lane
We were getting just DEFAULT_INEQ_SEL for comparisons such as "ctid >= constant", but it's possible to do a lot better if we don't mind some assumptions about the table's tuple density being reasonably uniform. There are already assumptions much like that elsewhere in the planner, so that hardly seems like much of an objection. Extracted from a patch set that also proposes to introduce a special executor node type for such queries.

2019-03-23Accept XML documents when xmloption = content, as required by SQL:2006+.Tom Lane
Previously we were using the SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow this, but that creates a serious dump/restore gotcha: there is no setting of xmloption that will allow all valid XML data. Hence, switch to the 2006 definition. Since libxml doesn't accept <!DOCTYPE> directives in the mode we use for CONTENT parsing, the implementation is to detect <!DOCTYPE> in the input and switch to DOCUMENT parsing mode. This should not cost much, because <!DOCTYPE> should be close to the front of the input if it's there at all. It's possible that this causes the error messages for malformed input to be slightly different than they were before, if said input includes <!DOCTYPE>; but that does not seem like a big problem. In passing, buy back a few cycles in parsing of large XML documents by not doing strlen() of the whole input in parse_xml_decl(). Back-patch because dump/restore failures are not nice. This change shouldn't break any cases that worked before, so it seems safe to back-patch.

2019-03-22Collations with nondeterministic comparisonPeter Eisentraut
This adds a flag "deterministic" to collations. If that is false, such a collation disables various optimizations that assume that strings are equal only if they are byte-wise equal. That then allows use cases such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive comparisons or handling of strings with different Unicode normal forms. This functionality is only supported with the ICU provider. At least glibc doesn't appear to have any locales that work in a nondeterministic way, so it's not worth supporting this for the libc provider. The term "deterministic comparison" in this context is from Unicode Technical Standard #10 (https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Deterministic_Comparison). This patch makes changes in three areas: - CREATE COLLATION DDL changes and system catalog changes to support this new flag. - Many executor nodes and auxiliary code are extended to track collations. Previously, this code would just throw away collation information, because the eventually-called user-defined functions didn't use it since they only cared about equality, which didn't need collation information. - String data type functions that do equality comparisons and hashing are changed to take the (non-)deterministic flag into account. For comparison, this just means skipping various shortcuts and tie breakers that use byte-wise comparison. For hashing, we first need to convert the input string to a canonical "sort key" using the ICU analogue of strxfrm().

2019-03-20Make heap TID a tiebreaker nbtree index column.Peter Geoghegan
Make nbtree treat all index tuples as having a heap TID attribute. Index searches can distinguish duplicates by heap TID, since heap TID is always guaranteed to be unique. This general approach has numerous benefits for performance, and is prerequisite to teaching VACUUM to perform "retail index tuple deletion". Naively adding a new attribute to every pivot tuple has unacceptable overhead (it bloats internal pages), so suffix truncation of pivot tuples is added. This will usually truncate away the "extra" heap TID attribute from pivot tuples during a leaf page split, and may also truncate away additional user attributes. This can increase fan-out, especially in a multi-column index. Truncation can only occur at the attribute granularity, which isn't particularly effective, but works well enough for now. A future patch may add support for truncating "within" text attributes by generating truncated key values using new opclass infrastructure. Only new indexes (BTREE_VERSION 4 indexes) will have insertions that treat heap TID as a tiebreaker attribute, or will have pivot tuples undergo suffix truncation during a leaf page split (on-disk compatibility with versions 2 and 3 is preserved). Upgrades to version 4 cannot be performed on-the-fly, unlike upgrades from version 2 to version 3. contrib/amcheck continues to work with version 2 and 3 indexes, while also enforcing stricter invariants when verifying version 4 indexes. These stricter invariants are the same invariants described by "3.1.12 Sequencing" from the Lehman and Yao paper. A later patch will enhance the logic used by nbtree to pick a split point. This patch is likely to negatively impact performance without smarter choices around the precise point to split leaf pages at. Making these two mostly-distinct sets of enhancements into distinct commits seems like it might clarify their design, even though neither commit is particularly useful on its own. The maximum allowed size of new tuples is reduced by an amount equal to the space required to store an extra MAXALIGN()'d TID in a new high key during leaf page splits. The user-facing definition of the "1/3 of a page" restriction is already imprecise, and so does not need to be revised. However, there should be a compatibility note in the v12 release notes.

2019-03-20Refactor nbtree insertion scankeys.Peter Geoghegan
Use dedicated struct to represent nbtree insertion scan keys. Having a dedicated struct makes the difference between search type scankeys and insertion scankeys a lot clearer, and simplifies the signature of several related functions. This is based on a suggestion by Andrey Lepikhov. Streamline how unique index insertions cache binary search progress. Cache the state of in-progress binary searches within _bt_check_unique() for later instead of having callers avoid repeating the binary search in an ad-hoc manner. This makes it easy to add a new optimization: _bt_check_unique() now falls out of its loop immediately in the common case where it's already clear that there couldn't possibly be a duplicate. The new _bt_check_unique() scheme makes it a lot easier to manage cached binary search effort afterwards, from within _bt_findinsertloc(). This is needed for the upcoming patch to make nbtree tuples unique by treating heap TID as a final tiebreaker column. Unique key binary searches need to restore lower and upper bounds. They cannot simply continue to use the >= lower bound as the offset to insert at, because the heap TID tiebreaker column must be used in comparisons for the restored binary search (unlike the original _bt_check_unique() binary search, where scankey's heap TID column must be omitted).

2019-03-19Fix bug in support for collation attributes on older ICU versionsPeter Eisentraut
Unrecognized attribute names are supposed to be ignored. But the code would error out on an unrecognized attribute value even if it did not recognize the attribute name. So unrecognized attributes wouldn't really be ignored unless the value happened to be one that matched a recognized value. This would break some important cases where the attribute would be processed by ucol_open() directly. Fix that and add a test case. The restructured code should also avoid compiler warnings about initializing a UColAttribute value to -1, because the type might be an unsigned enum. (reported by Andres Freund)
2019-03-18Fix optimization of foreign-key on update actionsPeter Eisentraut
In RI_FKey_pk_upd_check_required(), we check among other things whether the old and new key are equal, so that we don't need to run cascade actions when nothing has actually changed. This was using the equality operator. But the effect of this is that if a value in the primary key is changed to one that "looks" different but compares as equal, the update is not propagated. (Examples are float -0 and 0 and case-insensitive text.) This appears to violate the SQL standard, and it also behaves inconsistently if in a multicolumn key another key is also updated that would cause the row to compare as not equal. To fix, if we are looking at the PK table in ri_KeysEqual(), then do a bytewise comparison similar to record_image_eq() instead of using the equality operators. This only makes a difference for ON UPDATE CASCADE, but for consistency we treat all changes to the PK the same. For the FK table, we continue to use the equality operators.

2019-03-15Further reduce memory footprint of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing.Tom Lane
Some buildfarm members using CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS have been having OOM problems of late. Commit 2455ab488 addressed this problem by recovering space transiently used within RelationBuildPartitionDesc, but it turns out that leaves quite a lot on the table, because other subroutines of RelationBuildDesc also leak memory like mad. Let's move the temp-context management into RelationBuildDesc so that leakage from the other subroutines is also recovered. I examined this issue by arranging for postgres.c to dump the size of MessageContext just before resetting it in each command cycle, and then running the update.sql regression test (which is one of the two that are seeing buildfarm OOMs) with and without CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. Before 2455ab488, the peak space usage with CCA was as much as 250MB. That patch got it down to ~80MB, but with this patch it's about 0.5MB, and indeed the space usage now seems nearly indistinguishable from a non-CCA build. RelationBuildDesc's traditional behavior of not worrying about leaking transient data is of many years' standing, so I'm pretty hesitant to change that without more evidence that it'd be useful in a normal build. (So far as I can see, non-CCA memory consumption is about the same with or without this change, whuch if anything suggests that it isn't useful.) Hence, configure the patch so that we recover space only when CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS or CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined. However, that choice can be overridden at compile time, in case somebody would like to do some performance testing and try to develop evidence for changing that decision. It's possible that we ought to back-patch this change, but in the absence of back-branch OOM problems in the buildfarm, I'm not in a hurry to do that.

2019-03-15Enable parallel query with SERIALIZABLE isolation.Thomas Munro
Previously, the SERIALIZABLE isolation level prevented parallel query from being used. Allow the two features to be used together by sharing the leader's SERIALIZABLEXACT with parallel workers. An extra per-SERIALIZABLEXACT LWLock is introduced to make it safe to share, and new logic is introduced to coordinate the early release of the SERIALIZABLEXACT required for the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE optimization, as follows: The first backend to observe the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag (set by some other transaction) will 'partially release' the SERIALIZABLEXACT, meaning that the conflicts and locks it holds are released, but the SERIALIZABLEXACT itself will remain active because other backends might still have a pointer to it. Whenever any backend notices the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag, it clears its own MySerializableXact variable and frees local resources so that it can skip SSI checks for the rest of the transaction. In the special case of the leader process, it transfers the SERIALIZABLEXACT to a new variable SavedSerializableXact, so that it can be completely released at the end of the transaction after all workers have exited. Remove the serializable_okay flag added to CreateParallelContext() by commit 9da0cc35, because it's now redundant.

2019-03-12Add support for hyperbolic functions, as well as log10().Tom Lane
The SQL:2016 standard adds support for the hyperbolic functions sinh(), cosh(), and tanh(). POSIX has long required libm to provide those functions as well as their inverses asinh(), acosh(), atanh(). Hence, let's just expose the libm functions to the SQL level. As with the trig functions, we only implement versions for float8, not numeric. For the moment, we'll assume that all platforms actually do have these functions; if experience teaches otherwise, some autoconf effort may be needed. SQL:2016 also adds support for base-10 logarithm, but with the function name log10(), whereas the name we've long used is log(). Add aliases named log10() for the float8 and numeric versions.

2019-03-11Allow fractional input values for integer GUCs, and improve rounding logic.Tom Lane
Historically guc.c has just refused examples like set work_mem = '30.1GB', but it seems more useful for it to take that and round off the value to some reasonable approximation of what the user said. Just rounding to the parameter's native unit would work, but it would lead to rather silly-looking settings, such as 31562138kB for this example. Instead let's round to the nearest multiple of the next smaller unit (if any), producing 30822MB. Also, do the units conversion math in floating point and round to integer (if needed) only at the end. This produces saner results for inputs that aren't exact multiples of the parameter's native unit, and removes another difference in the behavior for integer vs. float parameters. In passing, document the ability to use hex or octal input where it ought to be documented. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1798.1552165479@sss.pgh.pa.us
