2014-03-23Do jsonb regression test input in the conventional way.Andrew Dunstan
This should make the buildfarm happier.
2014-03-23Introduce jsonb, a structured format for storing json.Andrew Dunstan
The new format accepts exactly the same data as the json type. However, it is stored in a format that does not require reparsing the orgiginal text in order to process it, making it much more suitable for indexing and other operations. Insignificant whitespace is discarded, and the order of object keys is not preserved. Neither are duplicate object keys kept - the later value for a given key is the only one stored. The new type has all the functions and operators that the json type has, with the exception of the json generation functions (to_json, json_agg etc.) and with identical semantics. In addition, there are operator classes for hash and btree indexing, and two classes for GIN indexing, that have no equivalent in the json type. This feature grew out of previous work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, which was intended to provide similar facilities to a nested hstore type, but which in the end proved to have some significant compatibility issues. Authors: Oleg Bartunov, Teodor Sigaev, Peter Geoghegan and Andrew Dunstan. Review: Andres Freund
2014-03-23Offer triggers on foreign tables.Noah Misch
This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore. This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking for a RETURNING clause. In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable. Ronan Dunklau, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei; some additional hacking by me.
2014-03-23Improve comments about AfterTriggerBeginQuery() query level usage.Noah Misch
2014-03-23Address ccvalid/ccnoinherit in TupleDesc support functions.Noah Misch
equalTupleDescs() neglected both of these ConstrCheck fields, and CreateTupleDescCopyConstr() neglected ccnoinherit. At this time, the only known behavior defect resulting from these omissions is constraint exclusion disregarding a CHECK constraint validated by an ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT statement issued earlier in the same transaction. Back-patch to 9.2, where these fields were introduced.
2014-03-21Fix thinkos in GinLogicValue enum.Heikki Linnakangas
It was incorrectly declared as global variable, not an enum type, and the comments for GIN_FALSE and GIN_TRUE were backwards.
2014-03-21Fix build with LWLOCK_STATS or dtrace.Heikki Linnakangas
Also fix the name of the dtrace probe for LWLockAcquireOrWait(). The function was renamed from LWLockWaitUntilFree to LWLockAqcuireOrWait, but the dtrace probe was neglected. Pointed out by Andres Freund and the buildfarm.

2014-03-21Properly check for readdir/closedir() failuresBruce Momjian
Clear errno before calling readdir() and handle old MinGW errno bug while adding full test coverage for readdir/closedir failures. Backpatch through 8.4.
2014-03-21Replace the XLogInsert slots with regular LWLocks.Heikki Linnakangas
The special feature the XLogInsert slots had over regular LWLocks is the insertingAt value that was updated atomically with releasing backends waiting on it. Add new functions to the LWLock API to do that, and replace the slots with LWLocks. This reduces the amount of duplicated code. (There's still some duplication, but at least it's all in lwlock.c now.) Reviewed by Andres Freund.
2014-03-20Again fix initialization of auto-tuned effective_cache_size.Tom Lane
The previous method was overly complex and underly correct; in particular, by assigning the default value with PGC_S_OVERRIDE, it prevented later attempts to change the setting in postgresql.conf, as noted by Jeff Janes. We should just assign the default value with source PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT, which will have the desired priority relative to the boot_val as well as user-set values. There is still a gap in this method: if there's an explicit assignment of effective_cache_size = -1 in the postgresql.conf file, and that assignment appears before shared_buffers is assigned, the code will substitute 4 times the bootstrap default for shared_buffers, and that value will then persist (since it will have source PGC_S_FILE). I don't see any very nice way to avoid that though, and it's not a case to be expected in practice. The existing comments in guc-file.l look forward to a redesign of the DYNAMIC_DEFAULT mechanism; if that ever happens, we should consider this case as one of the things we'd like to improve.
2014-03-20libpq: pass a memory allocation failure error up to PQconndefaults()Bruce Momjian
Previously user name memory allocation failures were ignored and the default user name set to NULL.
2014-03-19Setup error context callback for transaction lock waitsAlvaro Herrera
With this in place, a session blocking behind another one because of tuple locks will get a context line mentioning the relation name, tuple TID, and operation being done on tuple. For example: LOG: process 11367 still waiting for ShareLock on transaction 717 after 1000.108 ms DETAIL: Process holding the lock: 11366. Wait queue: 11367. CONTEXT: while updating tuple (0,2) in relation "foo" STATEMENT: UPDATE foo SET value = 3; Most usefully, the new line is displayed by log entries due to log_lock_waits, although of course it will be printed by any other log message as well.

2014-03-19Fix memory leak during regular expression execution.Tom Lane
For a regex containing backrefs, pg_regexec() might fail to free all the sub-DFAs that were created during execution, resulting in a permanent (session lifespan) memory leak. Problem was introduced by me in commit 587359479acbbdc95c8e37da40707e37097423f5. Per report from Sandro Santilli; diagnosis by Greg Stark.

2014-03-18Remove rm_safe_restartpoint machinery.Heikki Linnakangas
It is no longer used, none of the resource managers have multi-record actions that would make it unsafe to perform a restartpoint. Also don't allow rm_cleanup to write WAL records, it's also no longer required. Move the call to rm_cleanup routines to make it more symmetric with rm_startup.

2014-03-18Make the handling of interrupted B-tree page splits more robust.Heikki Linnakangas
Splitting a page consists of two separate steps: splitting the child page, and inserting the downlink for the new right page to the parent. Previously, we handled the case that you crash in between those steps with a cleanup routine after the WAL recovery had finished, which finished the incomplete split. However, that doesn't help if the page split is interrupted but the database doesn't crash, so that you don't perform WAL recovery. That could happen for example if you run out of disk space. Remove the end-of-recovery cleanup step. Instead, when a page is split, the left page is marked with a new INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag, and when the downlink is inserted to the parent, the flag is cleared again. If an insertion sees a page with the flag set, it knows that the split was interrupted for some reason, and inserts the missing downlink before proceeding. I used the same approach to fix GIN and GiST split algorithms earlier. This was the last WAL cleanup routine, so we could get rid of that whole machinery now, but I'll leave that for a separate patch. Reviewed by Peter Geoghegan.

2014-03-18Rewrite comment for shm_mq_receive_bytes.Robert Haas
The comment and the code diverged at some point before the initial commit of this feature, and I failed to notice. Noted by Tom Lane.
2014-03-18Fix relcache reference leak in refresh_by_match_merge().Tom Lane
One path through the loop over indexes forgot to do index_close(). Rather than adding a fourth call, restructure slightly so that there's only one. In passing, get rid of an unnecessary syscache lookup: the pg_index struct for the index is already available from its relcache entry. Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi, though this is a bit different from his suggested patch. This is new code in HEAD, so no need for back-patch.
2014-03-18Improve shm_mq portability around MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF and sizeof(Size).Robert Haas
Revise the original decision to expose a uint64-based interface and use Size everywhere possible. Avoid assuming that MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is 8, or making any assumption about the relationship between that value and sizeof(Size). If MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is bigger, we'll now insert padding after the length word; if it's smaller, we are now prepared to read and write the length word in chunks. Per discussion with Tom Lane.
2014-03-18Fix pg_dumpall option parsing: -i doesn't take an argument.Tom Lane
This used to work properly, but got fat-fingered in commit 3dee636e0404885d07885d41c0d70e50c784f324. Per bug #9620 from Nicolas Payart.

2014-03-18Make it easy to detach completely from shared memory.Robert Haas
The new function dsm_detach_all() can be used either by postmaster children that don't wish to take any risk of accidentally corrupting shared memory; or by forked children of regular backends with the same need. This patch also updates the postmaster children that already do PGSharedMemoryDetach() to do dsm_detach_all() as well. Per discussion with Tom Lane.
2014-03-17During index build, check and elog (not just Assert) for broken HOT chain.Tom Lane
The recently-fixed bug in WAL replay could result in not finding a parent tuple for a heap-only tuple. The existing code would either Assert or generate an invalid index entry, neither of which is desirable. Throw a regular error instead.

2014-03-17Fix bug in clean shutdown of walsender that pg_receiving is connecting to.Fujii Masao
On clean shutdown, walsender waits for all WAL to be replicated to a standby, and exits. It determined whether that replication had been completed by checking whether its sent location had been equal to a standby's flush location. Unfortunately this condition never becomes true when the standby such as pg_receivexlog which always returns an invalid flush location is connecting to walsender, and then walsender waits forever. This commit changes walsender so that it just checks a standby's write location if a flush location is invalid. Back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for this exists.

2014-03-16Fix advertised dispsize for libpq's sslmode connection parameter.Tom Lane
"8" was correct back when "disable" was the longest allowed value, but since "verify-full" was added, it should be "12". Given the lack of complaints, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody is actually using these values ... but still, if they're in the API, they should be right. Noticed while pursuing a different problem. It's been wrong for quite a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2014-03-14Fix race condition in B-tree page deletion.Heikki Linnakangas
In short, we don't allow a page to be deleted if it's the rightmost child of its parent, but that situation can change after we check for it. Problem ------- We check that the page to be deleted is not the rightmost child of its parent, and then lock its left sibling, the page itself, its right sibling, and the parent, in that order. However, if the parent page is split after the check but before acquiring the locks, the target page might become the rightmost child, if the split happens at the right place. That leads to an error in vacuum (I reproduced this by setting a breakpoint in debugger): ERROR: failed to delete rightmost child 41 of block 3 in index "foo_pkey" We currently re-check that the page is still the rightmost child, and throw the above error if it's not. We could easily just give up rather than throw an error, but that approach doesn't scale to half-dead pages. To recap, although we don't normally allow deleting the rightmost child, if the page is the *only* child of its parent, we delete the child page and mark the parent page as half-dead in one atomic operation. But before we do that, we check that the parent can later be deleted, by checking that it in turn is not the rightmost child of the grandparent (potentially recursing all the way up to the root). But the same situation can arise there - the grandparent can be split while we're not holding the locks. We end up with a half-dead page that we cannot delete. To make things worse, the keyspace of the deleted page has already been transferred to its right sibling. As the README points out, the keyspace at the grandparent level is "out-of-whack" until the half-dead page is deleted, and if enough tuples with keys in the transferred keyspace are inserted, the page might get split and a downlink might be inserted into the grandparent that is out-of-order. That might not cause any serious problem if it's transient (as the README ponders), but is surely bad if it stays that way. Solution -------- This patch changes the page deletion algorithm to avoid that problem. After checking that the topmost page in the chain of to-be-deleted pages is not the rightmost child of its parent, and then deleting the pages from bottom up, unlink the pages from top to bottom. This way, the intermediate stages are similar to the intermediate stages in page splitting, and there is no transient stage where the keyspace is "out-of-whack". The topmost page in the to-be-deleted chain doesn't have a downlink pointing to it, like a page split before the downlink has been inserted. This also allows us to get rid of the cleanup step after WAL recovery, if we crash during page deletion. The deletion will be continued at next VACUUM, but the tree is consistent for searches and insertions at every step. This bug is old, all supported versions are affected, but this patch is too big to back-patch (and changes the WAL record formats of related records). We have not heard any reports of the bug from users, so clearly it's not easy to bump into. Maybe backpatch later, after this has had some field testing. Reviewed by Kevin Grittner and Peter Geoghegan.
2014-03-13Prevent interrupts while reporting non-ERROR elog messages.Tom Lane
This should eliminate the risk of recursive entry to syslog(3), which appears to be the cause of the hang reported in bug #9551 from James Morton. Arguably, the real problem here is auth.c's willingness to turn on ImmediateInterruptOK while executing fairly wide swaths of backend code. We may well need to work at narrowing the code ranges in which the authentication_timeout interrupt is enabled. For the moment, though, this is a cheap and reasonably noninvasive fix for a field-reported failure; the other approach would be complex and not necessarily bug-free itself. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-03-13Allow psql to print COPY command status in more cases.Tom Lane
Previously, psql would print the "COPY nnn" command status only for COPY commands executed server-side. Now it will print that for frontend copies too (including \copy). However, we continue to suppress the command status for COPY TO STDOUT, since in that case the copy data has been routed to the same place that the command status would go, and there is a risk of the status line being mistaken for another line of COPY data. Doing that would break existing scripts, and it doesn't seem worth the benefit --- this case seems fairly analogous to SELECT, for which we also suppress the command status.

2014-03-13Avoid transaction-commit race condition while receiving a NOTIFY message.Tom Lane
Use TransactionIdIsInProgress, then TransactionIdDidCommit, to distinguish whether a NOTIFY message's originating transaction is in progress, committed, or aborted. The previous coding could accept a message from a transaction that was still in-progress according to the PGPROC array; if the client were fast enough at starting a new transaction, it might fail to see table rows added/updated by the message-sending transaction. Which of course would usually be the point of receiving the message. We noted this type of race condition long ago in tqual.c, but async.c overlooked it. The race condition probably cannot occur unless there are multiple NOTIFY senders in action, since an individual backend doesn't send NOTIFY signals until well after it's done committing. But if two senders commit in close succession, it's certainly possible that we could see the second sender's message within the race condition window while responding to the signal from the first one. Per bug #9557 from Marko Tiikkaja. This patch is slightly more invasive than what he proposed, since it removes the now-redundant TransactionIdDidAbort call. Back-patch to 9.0, where the current NOTIFY implementation was introduced.

2014-03-12Only WAL-log the modified portion in an UPDATE, if possible.Heikki Linnakangas
When a row is updated, and the new tuple version is put on the same page as the old one, only WAL-log the part of the new tuple that's not identical to the old. This saves significantly on the amount of WAL that needs to be written, in the common case that most fields are not modified.

2014-03-12Allow opclasses to provide tri-valued GIN consistent functions.Heikki Linnakangas
With the GIN "fast scan" feature, GIN can skip items without fetching all the keys for them, if it can prove that they don't match regardless of those keys. So far, it has done the proving by calling the boolean consistent function with all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for the unfetched keys, but since that's O(n^2), it becomes unfeasible with more than a few keys. We can avoid calling consistent with all the combinations, if we can tell the operator class implementation directly which keys are unknown. This commit includes a triConsistent function for the built-in array and tsvector opclasses. Alexander Korotkov, with some changes by me.
