2018-05-18Track clearly whether to run a remote transaction in autocommit or a blockPavan Deolasee
Chi Gao and Hengbing Wang reported certain issues around transaction handling and demonstrated via xlogdump how certain transactions were getting marked committed/aborted repeatedly on a datanode. When an already committed transaction is attempted to be aborted again, it results in a PANIC. Upon investigation, this uncovered a very serious yet long standing bug in transaction handling. If the client is running in autocommit mode, we try to avoid starting a transaction block on the datanode side if only one datanode is going to be involved in the transaction. This is an optimisation to speed up short queries touching only a single node. But when the query rewriter transforms a single statement into multiple statements, we would still (and incorrectly) run each statement in an autocommit mode on the datanode. This can cause inconsistencies when one statement commits but the next statement aborts. And it may also lead to the PANIC situations if we continue to use the same global transaction identifier for the statements. This can also happen when the user invokes a user-defined function. If the function has multiple statements, each statement will run in an autocommit mode, if it's FQSed, thus again creating inconsistency if a following statement in the function fails. We now have a more elaborate mechanism to tackle autocommit and transaction block needs. The special casing for force_autocommit is now removed, thus making it more predictable. We also have specific conditions to check to ensure that we don't mixup autocommit and transaction block for the same global xid. Finally, if a query rewriter transforms a single statement into multiple statements, we run those statements in a transaction block. Together these changes should help us fix the problems.

2017-08-04hash: Increase the number of possible overflow bitmaps by 8x.Robert Haas
Per a report from AP, it's not that hard to exhaust the supply of bitmap pages if you create a table with a hash index and then insert a few billion rows - and then you start getting errors when you try to insert additional rows. In the particular case reported by AP, there's another fix that we can make to improve recycling of overflow pages, which is another way to avoid the error, but there may be other cases where this problem happens and that fix won't help. So let's buy ourselves as much headroom as we can without rearchitecting anything. The comments claim that the old limit was 64GB, but it was really only 32GB, because we didn't use all the bits in the page for bitmap bits - only the largest power of 2 that could fit after deducting space for the page header and so forth. Thus, we have 4kB per page for bitmap bits, not 8kB. The new limit is thus actually 8 times the old *real* limit but only 4 times the old *purported* limit. Since this breaks on-disk compatibility, bump HASH_VERSION. We've already done this earlier in this release cycle, so this doesn't cause any incremental inconvenience for people using pg_upgrade from releases prior to v10. However, users who use pg_upgrade to reach 10beta3 or later from 10beta2 or earlier will need to REINDEX any hash indexes again.

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

2017-04-15Avoid passing function pointers across process boundaries.Tom Lane
We'd already recognized that we can't pass function pointers across process boundaries for functions in loadable modules, since a shared library could get loaded at different addresses in different processes. But actually the practice doesn't work for functions in the core backend either, if we're using EXEC_BACKEND. This is the cause of recent failures on buildfarm member culicidae. Switch to passing a string function name in all cases. Something like this needs to be back-patched into 9.6, but let's see if the buildfarm likes it first.

2017-04-14Clean up manipulations of hash indexes' hasho_flag field.Tom Lane
Standardize on testing a hash index page's type by doing (opaque->hasho_flag & LH_PAGE_TYPE) == LH_xxx_PAGE Various places were taking shortcuts like opaque->hasho_flag & LH_BUCKET_PAGE which while not actually wrong, is still bad practice because it encourages use of opaque->hasho_flag & LH_UNUSED_PAGE which *is* wrong (LH_UNUSED_PAGE == 0, so the above is constant false). hash_xlog.c's hash_mask() contained such an incorrect test. This also ensures that we mask out the additional flag bits that hasho_flag has accreted since 9.6. pgstattuple's pgstat_hash_page(), for one, was failing to do that and was thus actively broken. Also fix assorted comments that hadn't been updated to reflect the extended usage of hasho_flag, and fix some macros that were testing just "(hasho_flag & bit)" to use the less dangerous, project-approved form "((hasho_flag & bit) != 0)". Coverity found the bug in hash_mask(); I noted the one in pgstat_hash_page() through code reading.

2017-04-04Expand hash indexes more gradually.Robert Haas
Since hash indexes typically have very few overflow pages, adding a new splitpoint essentially doubles the on-disk size of the index, which can lead to large and abrupt increases in disk usage (and perhaps long delays on occasion). To mitigate this problem to some degree, divide larger splitpoints into four equal phases. This means that, for example, instead of growing from 4GB to 8GB all at once, a hash index will now grow from 4GB to 5GB to 6GB to 7GB to 8GB, which is perhaps still not as smooth as we'd like but certainly an improvement. This changes the on-disk format of the metapage, so bump HASH_VERSION from 2 to 3. This will force a REINDEX of all existing hash indexes, but that's probably a good idea anyway. First, hash indexes from pre-10 versions of PostgreSQL could easily be corrupted, and we don't want to confuse corruption carried over from an older release with any corruption caused despite the new write-ahead logging in v10. Second, it will let us remove some backward-compatibility code added by commit 293e24e507838733aba4748b514536af2d39d7f2. Mithun Cy, reviewed by Amit Kapila, Jesper Pedersen and me.

2017-04-01BRIN de-summarizationAlvaro Herrera
When the BRIN summary tuple for a page range becomes too "wide" for the values actually stored in the table (because the tuples that were present originally are no longer present due to updates or deletes), it can be useful to remove the outdated summary tuple, so that a future summarization can install a tighter summary. This commit introduces a SQL-callable interface to do so. Author: Álvaro Herrera Reviewed-by: Eiji Seki Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170228045643.n2ri74ara4fhhfxf@alvherre.pgsql
2017-04-01BRIN auto-summarizationAlvaro Herrera
Previously, only VACUUM would cause a page range to get initially summarized by BRIN indexes, which for some use cases takes too much time since the inserts occur. To avoid the delay, have brininsert request a summarization run for the previous range as soon as the first tuple is inserted into the first page of the next range. Autovacuum is in charge of processing these requests, after doing all the regular vacuuming/ analyzing work on tables. This doesn't impose any new tasks on autovacuum, because autovacuum was already in charge of doing summarizations. The only actual effect is to change the timing, i.e. that it occurs earlier. For this reason, we don't go any great lengths to record these requests very robustly; if they are lost because of a server crash or restart, they will happen at a later time anyway. Most of the new code here is in autovacuum, which can now be told about "work items" to process. This can be used for other things such as GIN pending list cleaning, perhaps visibility map bit setting, both of which are currently invoked during vacuum, but do not really depend on vacuum taking place. The requests are at the page range level, a granularity for which we did not have SQL-level access; we only had index-level summarization requests via brin_summarize_new_values(). It seems reasonable to add SQL-level access to range-level summarization too, so add a function brin_summarize_range() to do that. Authors: Álvaro Herrera, based on sketch from Simon Riggs.

This patch optimizes this case by having the master server track which transactions took AE locks, and passes that along to the standby server in the commit/abort record.

This reverts commit ccce90b398673d55b0387b3de66639b1b30d451b. This optimization is unsafe, at least, of rollbacks and rollbacks to savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as well. Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further investigation.
2017-03-09Use group updates when setting transaction status in clog.Robert Haas
Commit 0e141c0fbb211bdd23783afa731e3eef95c9ad7a introduced a mechanism to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock, particularly WALWriteLock. Amit Kapila, with some cosmetic changes by me. Extensively reviewed, tested, and benchmarked over a period of about 15 months by Simon Riggs, Robert Haas, Andres Freund, Jesper Pedersen, and especially by Tomas Vondra and Dilip Kumar.

2017-03-08Support parallel bitmap heap scans.Robert Haas
The index is scanned by a single process, but then all cooperating processes can iterate jointly over the resulting set of heap blocks. In the future, we might also want to support using a parallel bitmap index scan to set up for a parallel bitmap heap scan, but that's a job for another day. Dilip Kumar, with some corrections and cosmetic changes by me. The larger patch set of which this is a part has been reviewed and tested by (at least) Andres Freund, Amit Khandekar, Tushar Ahuja, Rafia Sabih, Haribabu Kommi, Thomas Munro, and me.

2017-03-07hash: Refactor hash index creation.Robert Haas
The primary goal here is to move all of the related page modifications to a single section of code, in preparation for adding write-ahead logging. In passing, rename _hash_metapinit to _hash_init, since it initializes more than just the metapage. Amit Kapila. The larger patch series of which this is a part has been reviewed and tested by Álvaro Herrera, Ashutosh Sharma, Mark Kirkwood, Jeff Janes, and Jesper Pedersen.
