2019-05-17Restructure creation of run-time pruning steps.Tom Lane
Previously, gen_partprune_steps() always built executor pruning steps using all suitable clauses, including those containing PARAM_EXEC Params. This meant that the pruning steps were only completely safe for executor run-time (scan start) pruning. To prune at executor startup, we had to ignore the steps involving exec Params. But this doesn't really work in general, since there may be logic changes needed as well --- for example, pruning according to the last operator's btree strategy is the wrong thing if we're not applying that operator. The rules embodied in gen_partprune_steps() and its minions are sufficiently complicated that tracking their incremental effects in other logic seems quite impractical. Short of a complete redesign, the only safe fix seems to be to run gen_partprune_steps() twice, once to create executor startup pruning steps and then again for run-time pruning steps. We can save a few cycles however by noting during the first scan whether we rejected any clauses because they involved exec Params --- if not, we don't need to do the second scan. In support of this, refactor the internal APIs in partprune.c to make more use of passing information in the GeneratePruningStepsContext struct, rather than as separate arguments. This is, I hope, the last piece of our response to a bug report from Alan Jackson. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in.

2019-02-09Allow to reset execGrouping.c style tuple hashtables.Andres Freund
This has the advantage that the comparator expression, the table's slot, etc do not have to be rebuilt. Additionally the simplehash.h hashtable within the tuple hashtable now keeps its previous size and doesn't need to be reallocated. That both reduces allocator overhead, and improves performance in cases where the input estimation was off by a significant factor. To avoid an API/ABI break, the new parameter is exposed via the new BuildTupleHashTableExt(), and BuildTupleHashTable() now is a wrapper around the former, that continues to allocate the table itself in the tablecxt. Using this fixes performance issues discovered in the two bugs referenced. This commit however has not converted the callers, that's done in a separate commit.

2018-09-25Collect JIT instrumentation from workers.Andres Freund
Previously, when using parallel query, EXPLAIN (ANALYZE)'s JIT compilation timings did not include the overhead from doing so on the workers. Fix that. We do so by simply aggregating the cost of doing JIT compilation on workers and the leader together. Arguably that's not quite accurate, because the total time spend doing so is spent in parallel - but it's hard to do much better. For additional detail, when VERBOSE is specified, the stats for workers are displayed separately.

2018-09-15Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks.Tom Lane
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is, uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals. But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the CASE test depends on a column that was just updated. This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case. To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches. It was convenient to use the new-in-v11 ExecEvalParamExecParams function to implement this, but I didn't like either its name or the specifics of its API, so revise that. Back-patch all the way. Rather than rewrite the patch to avoid depending on bms_next_member() in the oldest branches, I chose to back-patch that function into 9.4 and 9.3. (This isn't the first time back-patches have needed that, and it exhausted my patience.) I also chose to back-patch some test cases added by commits 71404af2a and 342a1ffa2 into 9.4 and 9.3, so that the 9.x versions of eval-plan-qual.spec are all the same. Andrew Gierth diagnosed the problem and contributed the added test cases, though the actual code changes are by me.

2018-09-07Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish().Tom Lane
This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another, perhaps without knowing that it does so. Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users. Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited. Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for an inner user. Now it's consistent. Report and fix suggestion by Chapman Flack, actual patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/9fa25bef-2e4f-1c32-22a4-3ad0723c4a17@anastigmatix.net
2018-08-01Fix run-time partition pruning for appends with multiple source rels.Tom Lane
The previous coding here supposed that if run-time partitioning applied to a particular Append/MergeAppend plan, then all child plans of that node must be members of a single partitioning hierarchy. This is totally wrong, since an Append could be formed from a UNION ALL: we could have multiple hierarchies sharing the same Append, or child plans that aren't part of any hierarchy. To fix, restructure the related plan-time and execution-time data structures so that we can have a separate list or array for each partitioning hierarchy. Also track subplans that are not part of any hierarchy, and make sure they don't get pruned. Per reports from Phil Florent and others. Back-patch to v11, since the bug originated there. David Rowley, with a lot of cosmetic adjustments by me; thanks also to Amit Langote for review.

2018-06-13Fix up run-time partition pruning's use of relcache's partition data.Tom Lane
The previous coding saved pointers into the partitioned table's relcache entry, but then closed the relcache entry, causing those pointers to nominally become dangling. Actual trouble would be seen in the field only if a relcache flush occurred mid-query, but that's hardly out of the question. While we could fix this by copying all the data in question at query start, it seems better to just hold the relcache entry open for the whole query. While at it, improve the handling of support-function lookups: do that once per query not once per pruning test. There's still something to be desired here, in that we fail to exploit the possibility of caching data across queries in the fn_extra fields of the relcache's FmgrInfo structs, which could happen if we just used those structs in-place rather than copying them. However, combining that with the possibility of per-query lookups of cross-type comparison functions seems to require changes in the APIs of a lot of the pruning support functions, so it's too invasive to consider as part of this patch. A win would ensue only for complex partition key data types (e.g. arrays), so it may not be worth the trouble. David Rowley and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17850.1528755844@sss.pgh.pa.us

2018-06-11Don't needlessly check the partition contraint twiceAlvaro Herrera
Starting with commit f0e44751d717, ExecConstraints was in charge of running the partition constraint; commit 19c47e7c8202 modified that so that caller could request to skip that checking depending on some conditions, but that commit and 15ce775faa42 together introduced a small bug there which caused ExecInsert to request skipping the constraint check but have this not be honored -- in effect doing the check twice. This could have been fixed in a very small patch, but on further analysis of the involved function and its callsites, it turns out to be simpler to give the responsibility of checking the partition constraint fully to the caller, and return ExecConstraints to its original (pre-partitioning) shape where it only checked tuple descriptor-related constraints. Each caller must do partition constraint checking on its own schedule, which is more convenient after commit 2f178441044 anyway.

2018-06-10Improve run-time partition pruning to handle any stable expression.Tom Lane
The initial coding of the run-time-pruning feature only coped with cases where the partition key(s) are compared to Params. That is a bit silly; we can allow it to work with any non-Var-containing stable expression, as long as we take special care with expressions containing PARAM_EXEC Params.

2018-05-03Fix SPI error cleanup and memory leakPeter Eisentraut
Since the SPI stack has been moved from TopTransactionContext to TopMemoryContext, setting _SPI_stack to NULL in AtEOXact_SPI() leaks memory. In fact, we don't need to do that anymore: We just leave the allocated stack around for the next SPI use. Also, refactor the SPI cleanup so that it is run both at transaction end and when returning to the main loop on an exception. The latter is necessary when a procedure calls a COMMIT or ROLLBACK command that itself causes an error.

2018-04-07Support partition pruning at execution timeAlvaro Herrera
Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query quals that appear in the parsed query. This is good but limiting, as there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to further prune partitions. This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match. We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support additionally includes: 1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to scan. 2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which partitions match the value from the initplan. Partition pruning is performed in two ways. When Params external to the plan are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append subplans during the initialization of the executor. This allows us to bypass the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution then the pruning of these subplans must wait. Subplans which are eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN output. In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed. If a certain Append subplan was never executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution timing area will state "(never executed)". Whereas, if, for example in the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times. This is due to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a parameter which was found to match the partition key changes. This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable. This allows us to translate a list of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be included to satisfy the clause list.

2018-04-07Raise error when affecting tuple moved into different partition.Andres Freund
When an update moves a row between partitions (supported since 2f178441044b), our normal logic for following update chains in READ COMMITTED mode doesn't work anymore. Cross partition updates are modeled as an delete from the old and insert into the new partition. No ctid chain exists across partitions, and there's no convenient space to introduce that link. Not throwing an error in a partitioned context when one would have been thrown without partitioning is obviously problematic. This commit introduces infrastructure to detect when a tuple has been moved, not just plainly deleted. That allows to throw an error when encountering a deletion that's actually a move, while attempting to following a ctid chain. The row deleted as part of a cross partition update is marked by pointing it's t_ctid to an invalid block, instead of self as a normal update would. That was deemed to be the least invasive and most future proof way to represent the knowledge, given how few infomask bits are there to be recycled (there's also some locking issues with using infomask bits). External code following ctid chains should be updated to check for moved tuples. The most likely consequence of not doing so is a missed error.

2018-03-26JIT tuple deforming in LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund
Performing JIT compilation for deforming gains performance benefits over unJITed deforming from compile-time knowledge of the tuple descriptor. Fixed column widths, NOT NULLness, etc can be taken advantage of. Right now the JITed deforming is only used when deforming tuples as part of expression evaluation (and obviously only if the descriptor is known). It's likely to be beneficial in other cases, too. By default tuple deforming is JITed whenever an expression is JIT compiled. There's a separate boolean GUC controlling it, but that's expected to be primarily useful for development and benchmarking. Docs will follow in a later commit containing docs for the whole JIT feature. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170901064131.tazjxwus3k2w3ybh@alap3.anarazel.de

It seems likely that the same failure could occur for CustomScan plans and perhaps some FDW plan types, so that leaving this to be treated as an internal error with an obscure message isn't as good an idea as it first seemed. Hence, add a bit of heaptuple.c infrastructure to let us deliver a more on-topic message. I chose to make the message match what you get for the case where execCurrentOf can't identify the target scan node at all, "cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"". Perhaps it should be different, but we can always adjust that later. In the future, it might be nice to provide hooks that would let custom scan providers and/or FDWs deal with this in other ways; but that's not a suitable topic for a back-patchable bug fix. It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Yugo Nagata and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180201013349.937dfc5f.nagata@sraoss.co.jp
2018-03-14Support INOUT arguments in proceduresPeter Eisentraut
In a top-level CALL, the values of INOUT arguments will be returned as a result row. In PL/pgSQL, the values are assigned back to the input arguments. In other languages, the same convention as for return a record from a function is used. That does not require any code changes in the PL implementations.

2018-02-22Be lazier about partition tuple routing.Robert Haas
It's not necessary to fully initialize the executor data structures for partitions to which no tuples are ever routed. Consider, for example, an INSERT statement that inserts only one row: it only cares about the partition to which that one row is routed. The new function ExecInitPartitionInfo performs the initialization in question only when a particular partition is about to receive a tuple. This includes creating, validating, and saving a pointer to the ResultRelInfo, setting up for speculative insertions, translating WCOs and initializing the resulting expressions, translating returning lists and building the appropriate projection information, and setting up a tuple conversion map. One thing that's not deferred is locking the child partitions; that seems desirable but would need more thought. Still, testing shows that this makes single-row inserts significantly faster on a table with many partitions without harming the bulk-insert case.

2018-02-20Use platform independent type for TupleTableSlot->tts_off.Andres Freund
Previously tts_off was, for unknown reasons, of type long. For one that's unnecessary as tuples are restricted in length, for another long would be a bad choice of type even if that weren't the case, as it's not reliably wider than an int. Also HeapTupleHeader->t_len is a uint32. This is split off from a larger patch implementing JITed tuple deforming. Seems like an independent improvement, as tiny as it is. Author: Andres Freund
2018-02-16Allow tupleslots to have a fixed tupledesc, use in executor nodes.Andres Freund
The reason for doing so is that it will allow expression evaluation to optimize based on the underlying tupledesc. In particular it will allow to JIT tuple deforming together with the expression itself. For that expression initialization needs to be moved after the relevant slots are initialized - mostly unproblematic, except in the case of nodeWorktablescan.c. After doing so there's no need for ExecAssignResultType() and ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL() anymore, as all former callers have been converted to create a slot with a fixed descriptor. When creating a slot with a fixed descriptor, tts_values/isnull can be allocated together with the main slot, reducing allocation overhead and increasing cache density a bit.

This has a performance benefit on own, although not hugely so. The primary benefit is that it will allow for to JIT tuple deforming and comparator invocations.

2018-02-15Revert "Do execGrouping.c via expression eval machinery."Andres Freund
This reverts commit 773aec7aa98abd38d6d9435913bb8e14e392c274. There's an unresolved issue in the reverted commit: It only creates one comparator function, but in for the nodeSubplan.c case we need more (c.f. FindTupleHashEntry vs LookupTupleHashEntry calls in nodeSubplan.c). This isn't too difficult to fix, but it's not entirely trivial either. The fact that the issue only causes breakage on 32bit systems shows that the current test coverage isn't that great. To avoid turning half the buildfarm red till those two issues are addressed, revert.

2018-01-29Introduce ExecQualAndReset() helper.Andres Freund
It's a common task to evaluate a qual and reset the corresponding expression context. Currently that requires storing the result of the qual eval, resetting the context, and then reacting on the result. As that's awkward several places only reset the context next time through a node. That's not great, so introduce a helper that evaluates and resets. It's a bit ugly that it currently uses MemoryContextReset() instead of ResetExprContext(), but that seems easier than reordering all of executor.h.

2018-01-22Transaction control in PL proceduresPeter Eisentraut
In each of the supplied procedural languages (PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Python, PL/Tcl), add language-specific commit and rollback functions/commands to control transactions in procedures in that language. Add similar underlying functions to SPI. Some additional cleanup so that transaction commit or abort doesn't blow away data structures still used by the procedure call. Add execution context tracking to CALL and DO statements so that transaction control commands can only be issued in top-level procedure and block calls, not function calls or other procedure or block calls. - SPI Add a new function SPI_connect_ext() that is like SPI_connect() but allows passing option flags. The only option flag right now is SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC. A nonatomic SPI connection can execute transaction control commands, otherwise it's not allowed. This is meant to be passed down from CALL and DO statements which themselves know in which context they are called. A nonatomic SPI connection uses different memory management. A normal SPI connection allocates its memory in TopTransactionContext. For nonatomic connections we use PortalContext instead. As the comment in SPI_connect_ext() (previously SPI_connect()) indicates, one could potentially use PortalContext in all cases, but it seems safest to leave the existing uses alone, because this stuff is complicated enough already. SPI also gets new functions SPI_start_transaction(), SPI_commit(), and SPI_rollback(), which can be used by PLs to implement their transaction control logic. - portalmem.c Some adjustments were made in the code that cleans up portals at transaction abort. The portal code could already handle a command *committing* a transaction and continuing (e.g., VACUUM), but it was not quite prepared for a command *aborting* a transaction and continuing. In AtAbort_Portals(), remove the code that marks an active portal as failed. As the comment there already predicted, this doesn't work if the running command wants to keep running after transaction abort. And it's actually not necessary, because pquery.c is careful to run all portal code in a PG_TRY block and explicitly runs MarkPortalFailed() if there is an exception. So the code in AtAbort_Portals() is never used anyway. In AtAbort_Portals() and AtCleanup_Portals(), we need to be careful not to clean up active portals too much. This mirrors similar code in PreCommit_Portals(). - PL/Perl Gets new functions spi_commit() and spi_rollback() - PL/pgSQL Gets new commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK. Update the PL/SQL porting example in the documentation to reflect that transactions are now possible in procedures. - PL/Python Gets new functions plpy.commit and plpy.rollback. - PL/Tcl Gets new commands commit and rollback.

2018-01-19Allow UPDATE to move rows between partitions.Robert Haas
When an UPDATE causes a row to no longer match the partition constraint, try to move it to a different partition where it does match the partition constraint. In essence, the UPDATE is split into a DELETE from the old partition and an INSERT into the new one. This can lead to surprising behavior in concurrency scenarios because EvalPlanQual rechecks won't work as they normally did; the known problems are documented. (There is a pending patch to improve the situation further, but it needs more review.)

2018-01-09Expression evaluation based aggregate transition invocation.Andres Freund
Previously aggregate transition and combination functions were invoked by special case code in nodeAgg.c, evaluating input and filters separately using the expression evaluation machinery. That turns out to not be great for performance for several reasons: - repeated expression evaluations have some cost - the transition functions invocations are poorly predicted, as commonly there are multiple aggregates in a query, resulting in the same call-stack invoking different functions. - filter and input computation had to be done separately - the special case code made it hard to implement JITing of the whole transition function invocation Address this by building one large expression that computes input, evaluates filters, and invokes transition functions. This leads to moderate speedups in queries bottlenecked by aggregate computations, and enables large speedups for similar cases once JITing is done. There's potential for further improvement: - It'd be nice if we could simplify the somewhat expensive aggstate->all_pergroups lookups. - right now there's still an advance_transition_function invocation in nodeAgg.c, leading to some code duplication.
