Implement Incremental Sort
Incremental Sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases when
the input is already sorted by a prefix of the requested sort keys. For
example when the relation is already sorted by (key1, key2) and we need
to sort it by (key1, key2, key3) we can simply split the input rows into
groups having equal values in (key1, key2), and only sort/compare the
remaining column key3.
This has a number of benefits:
- Reduced memory consumption, because only a single group (determined by
values in the sorted prefix) needs to be kept in memory. This may also
eliminate the need to spill to disk.
- Lower startup cost, because Incremental Sort produce results after each
prefix group, which is beneficial for plans where startup cost matters
(like for example queries with LIMIT clause).
We consider both Sort and Incremental Sort, and decide based on costing.
The implemented algorithm operates in two different modes:
- Fetching a minimum number of tuples without check of equality on the
prefix keys, and sorting on all columns when safe.
- Fetching all tuples for a single prefix group and then sorting by
comparing only the remaining (non-prefix) keys.
We always start in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch into
the second mode if we believe it's beneficial - the goal is to minimize
the number of unnecessary comparions while keeping memory consumption
below work_mem.
This is a very old patch series. The idea was originally proposed by
Alexander Korotkov back in 2013, and then revived in 2017. In 2018 the
patch was taken over by James Coleman, who wrote and rewrote most of the
current code.
There were many reviewers/contributors since 2013 - I've done my best to

Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.
To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.
Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain
dropped relations until end of transaction.

Generate backup manifests for base backups, and validate them.
A manifest is a JSON document which includes (1) the file name, size,
last modification time, and an optional checksum for each file backed
up, (2) timelines and LSNs for whatever WAL will need to be replayed
to make the backup consistent, and (3) a checksum for the manifest
itself. By default, we use CRC-32C when checksumming data files,
because we are trying to detect corruption and user error, not foil an
adversary. However, pg_basebackup and the server-side BASE_BACKUP
command now have options to select a different algorithm, so users
wanting a cryptographic hash function can select SHA-224, SHA-256,
SHA-384, or SHA-512. Users not wanting file checksums at all can
disable them, or disable generating of the backup manifest altogether.
Using a cryptographic hash function in place of CRC-32C consumes
significantly more CPU cycles, which may slow down backups in some
cases.
A new tool called pg_validatebackup can validate a backup against the
manifest. If no checksums are present, it can still check that the
right files exist and that they have the expected sizes. If checksums
are present, it can also verify that each file has the expected
checksum. Additionally, it calls pg_waldump to verify that the
expected WAL files are present and parseable. Only plain format

Fix bugs in gin_fuzzy_search_limit processing.
entryGetItem()'s three code paths each contained bugs associated
with filtering the entries for gin_fuzzy_search_limit.
The posting-tree path failed to advance "advancePast" after having
decided to filter an item. If we ran out of items on the current
page and needed to advance to the next, what would actually happen
is that entryLoadMoreItems() would re-load the same page. Eventually,
the random dropItem() test would accept one of the same items it'd
previously rejected, and we'd move on --- but it could take awhile
with small gin_fuzzy_search_limit. To add insult to injury, this
case would inevitably cause entryLoadMoreItems() to decide it needed
to re-descend from the root, making things even slower.
The posting-list path failed to implement gin_fuzzy_search_limit
filtering at all, so that all entries in the posting list would
be returned.
The bitmap-result path used a "gotitem" variable that it failed to
update in the one place where it'd actually make a difference, ie
at the one "continue" statement. I think this was unreachable in
practice, because if we'd looped around then it shouldn't be the
case that the entries on the new page are before advancePast.
Still, the "gotitem" variable was contributing nothing to either
clarity or correctness, so get rid of it.
Refactor all three loops so that the termination conditions are
more alike and less unreadable.
The code coverage report showed that we had no coverage at all for
the re-descend-from-root code path in entryLoadMoreItems(), which

Improve stability fix for partition_aggregate test.
Instead of disabling autovacuum on these test tables, adjust the
partition boundaries so that the child partitions are not all the
same size. That should cause the planner to use a predictable
ordering of the per-partition scan nodes even in cases where
autovacuum causes the rowcount estimates to be off a bit.
Moreover, this also lets these tests show that the planner does
properly order the tables in descending size order, something
that wasn't being proven before.
The pagg_tab1 and pagg_tab2 partitions are still all the same
size, but that should be fine, because those tables are so small

ba79cb5dc with an integer log_parameter_max_length_on_error,
adding the ability to specify how many bytes to trim each logged

For backwards compatibility with prior releases,
log_parameter_max_length defaults to -1 (log in full), while
log_parameter_max_length_on_error defaults to 0 (no logging).
Per discussion, log_parameter_max_length is SUSET since the DBA should

Attempt to stabilize partitionwise_aggregate test
In
b07642dbc, we added code to trigger autovacuums based on the number of
INSERTs into a table. This seems to have cause some destabilization of
the regression tests. Likely this is due to an autovacuum triggering
mid-test and (per theory from Tom Lane) one of the test's queries causes
autovacuum to skip some number of pages, resulting in the reltuples
estimate changing.
The failure that this is attempting to fix is around the order of subnodes
in an Append. Since the planner orders these according to the subnode
cost, then it's possible that a small change in the reltuples value changes
the subnode's cost enough that it swaps position with one of its fellow
subnodes.
The failure here only seems to occur on slower buildfarm machines. In this
case, lousyjack, which seems have taken over 8 minutes to run just
the partitionwise_aggregate test. Such a slow run would increase the
chances that the autovacuum launcher would trigger a vacuum mid-test.
Faster machines run this test in sub second time, so have a much smaller
window for an autovacuum to trigger.
Here we fix this by disabling autovacuum on all tables created in the test.

this patch simply defines a fixed list of SLRUs with entries for the
built-in ones and one entry for all additional SLRUs. Extensions adding
their own SLRU are fairly rare, so this seems acceptable.
This patch only allows monitoring of SLRUs, not tuning. The SLRU sizes

Check equality semantics for unique indexes on partitioned tables.
We require the partition key to be a subset of the set of columns
being made unique, so that physically-separate indexes on the different
partitions are sufficient to enforce the uniqueness constraint.
The existing code checked that the listed columns appear, but did not
inquire into the index semantics, which is a serious oversight given
that different index opclasses might enforce completely different
notions of uniqueness.
Ideally, perhaps, we'd just match the partition key opfamily to the
index opfamily. But hash partitioning uses hash opfamilies which we
can't directly match to btree opfamilies. Hence, look up the equality
operator in each family, and accept if it's the same operator. This
should be okay in a fairly general sense, since the equality operator
ought to precisely represent the opfamily's notion of uniqueness.
A remaining weak spot is that we don't have a cross-index-AM notion of
which opfamily member is "equality". But we know which one to use for
hash and btree AMs, and those are the only two that are relevant here
at present. (Any non-core AMs that know how to enforce equality are
out of luck, for now.)

Improve selectivity estimation for assorted match-style operators.
Quite a few matching operators such as JSONB's @> used "contsel" and
"contjoinsel" as their selectivity estimators. That was a bad idea,
because (a) contsel is only a stub, yielding a fixed default estimate,
and (b) that default is 0.001, meaning we estimate these operators as
five times more selective than equality, which is surely pretty silly.
There's a good model for improving this in ltree's ltreeparentsel():
for any "var OP constant" query, we can try applying the operator
to all of the column's MCV and histogram values, taking the latter
as being a random sample of the non-MCV values. That code is
actually 100% generic, except for the question of exactly what
default selectivity ought to be plugged in when we don't have stats.
Hence, migrate the guts of ltreeparentsel() into the core code, provide
wrappers "matchingsel" and "matchingjoinsel" with a more-appropriate
default estimate, and use those for the non-geometric operators that
formerly used contsel (mostly JSONB containment operators and tsquery
matching).
Also apply this code to some match-like operators in hstore, ltree, and
pg_trgm, including the former users of ltreeparentsel as well as ones
that improperly used contsel. Since commit

Still another try at stabilizing stats_ext test results.
The stats_ext test is not expecting that autovacuum will touch
any of its tables; an expectation falsified by commit
b07642dbc.
Although I'm suspicious that there's something else going on that
makes extended stats estimates not 100% reproducible, it's pretty
easy to demonstrate that there are places in this test that fail
if an autovacuum updates the table's stats unexpectedly.
Hence, revert the band-aid changes made by

this test checks estimated rowcounts for.

Improve the message logged when recovery is paused.
When recovery target is reached and recovery is paused because of
recovery_target_action=pause, executing pg_wal_replay_resume() causes
the standby to promote, i.e., the recovery to end. So, in this case,
the previous message "Execute pg_wal_replay_resume() to continue"

Fix lquery's NOT handling, and add ability to quantify non-'*' items.
The existing implementation of the ltree ~ lquery match operator is
sufficiently complex and undocumented that it's hard to tell exactly
what it does. But one thing it clearly gets wrong is the combination
of NOT symbols (!) and '*' symbols. A pattern such as '*.!foo.*'
should, by any ordinary understanding of regular expression behavior,
match any ltree that has at least one label that's not "foo". As best
we can tell by experimentation, what it's actually matching is any
ltree in which *no* label is "foo". That's surprising, and not at all
what the documentation says.
Now, that's arguably a useful behavior, so if we rewrite to fix the
bug we should provide some other way to get it. To do so, add the
ability to attach lquery quantifiers to non-'*' items as well as '*'s.
Then the pattern '!foo{,}' expresses "any ltree in which no label is
foo". For backwards compatibility, the default quantifier for non-'*'
items has to be "{1}", although the default for '*' items is '{,}'.
I wouldn't have done it like that in a green field, but it's not
totally horrible.
Armed with that, rewrite checkCond() from scratch. Treating '*' and
non-'*' items alike makes it simpler, not more complicated, so that
the function actually gets a lot shorter than it was.

Revert "Skip redundant anti-wraparound vacuums"
This reverts commit
2aa6e33, that added a fast path to skip
anti-wraparound and non-aggressive autovacuum jobs (these have no sense
as anti-wraparound implies aggressive). With a cluster using a high
amount of relations with a portion of them being heavily updated, this
could cause autovacuum to lock down, with autovacuum workers attempting
repeatedly those jobs on the same relations for the same database, that
just kept being skipped. This lock down can be solved with a manual
VACUUM FREEZE.
Justin King has reported one environment where the issue happened, and
Julien Rouhaud and I have been able to reproduce it in a second
environment. With a very aggressive autovacuum_freeze_max_age,
triggering those jobs with pgbench is a matter of minutes, and hitting
the lock down is a lot harder (my local tests failed to do that).
Note that anti-wraparound and non-aggressive jobs can only be triggered
on a subset of shared catalogs:
- pg_auth_members
- pg_authid
- pg_database
- pg_replication_origin
- pg_shseclabel
- pg_subscription
- pg_tablespace
While the lock down was possible down to v12, the root cause of those
jobs is a much older issue, which needs more analysis.

Implement operator class parameters
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.
This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.
In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.
This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize
signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.
Catversion is bumped.

Be more careful about extracting encoding from locale strings on Windows.
GetLocaleInfoEx() can fail on strings that setlocale() was perfectly
happy with. A common way for that to happen is if the locale string
is actually a Unix-style string, say "et_EE.UTF-8". In that case,
what's after the dot is an encoding name, not a Windows codepage number;
blindly treating it as a codepage number led to failure, with a fairly
silly error message. Hence, check to see if what's after the dot is
all digits, and if not, treat it as a literal encoding name rather than
a codepage number. This will do the right thing with many Unix-style
locale strings, and produce a more sensible error message otherwise.
Somewhat independently of that, treat a zero (CP_ACP) result from
GetLocaleInfoEx() as meaning that we must use UTF-8 encoding.
