Add deduplication to nbtree. Deduplication reduces the storage overhead of duplicates in indexes that use the standard nbtree index access method. The deduplication process is applied lazily, after the point where opportunistic deletion of LP_DEAD-marked index tuples occurs. Deduplication is only applied at the point where a leaf page split would otherwise be required. New posting list tuples are formed by merging together existing duplicate tuples. The physical representation of the items on an nbtree leaf page is made more space efficient by deduplication, but the logical contents of the page are not changed. Even unique indexes make use of deduplication as a way of controlling bloat from duplicates whose TIDs point to different versions of the same logical table row. The lazy approach taken by nbtree has significant advantages over a GIN style eager approach. Most individual inserts of index tuples have exactly the same overhead as before. The extra overhead of deduplication is amortized across insertions, just like the overhead of page splits. The key space of indexes works in the same way as it has since commit dd299df8 (the commit that made heap TID a tiebreaker column). Testing has shown that nbtree deduplication can generally make indexes with about 10 or 15 tuples for each distinct key value about 2.5X - 4X smaller, even with single column integer indexes (e.g., an index on a referencing column that accompanies a foreign key). The final size of single column nbtree indexes comes close to the final size of a similar contrib/btree_gin index, at least in cases where GIN's posting list compression isn't very effective. This can significantly improve transaction throughput, and significantly reduce the cost of vacuuming indexes. A new index storage parameter (deduplicate_items) controls the use of deduplication. The default setting is 'on', so all new B-Tree indexes automatically use deduplication where possible. This decision will be reviewed at the end of the Postgres 13 beta period. There is a regression of approximately 2% of transaction throughput with synthetic workloads that consist of append-only inserts into a table with several non-unique indexes, where all indexes have few or no repeated values. The underlying issue is that cycles are wasted on unsuccessful attempts at deduplicating items in non-unique indexes. There doesn't seem to be a way around it short of disabling deduplication entirely. Note that deduplication of items in unique indexes is fairly well targeted in general, which avoids the problem there (we can use a special heuristic to trigger deduplication passes in unique indexes, since we're specifically targeting "version bloat"). Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_vacuum changed. No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since the representation of posting list tuples works in a way that's backwards compatible with version 4 indexes (i.e. indexes built on PostgreSQL 12). However, users must still REINDEX a pg_upgrade'd index to use deduplication, regardless of the Postgres version they've upgraded from. This is the only way to set the new nbtree metapage flag indicating that deduplication is generally safe.

Phase 2 of pgindent updates. 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.

Skip full index scan during cleanup of B-tree indexes when possible Vacuum of index consists from two stages: multiple (zero of more) ambulkdelete calls and one amvacuumcleanup call. When workload on particular table is append-only, then autovacuum isn't intended to touch this table. However, user may run vacuum manually in order to fill visibility map and get benefits of index-only scans. Then ambulkdelete wouldn't be called for indexes of such table (because no heap tuples were deleted), only amvacuumcleanup would be called In this case, amvacuumcleanup would perform full index scan for two objectives: put recyclable pages into free space map and update index statistics. This patch allows btvacuumclanup to skip full index scan when two conditions are satisfied: no pages are going to be put into free space map and index statistics isn't stalled. In order to check first condition, we store oldest btpo_xact in the meta-page. When it's precedes RecentGlobalXmin, then there are some recyclable pages. In order to check second condition we store number of heap tuples observed during previous full index scan by cleanup. If fraction of newly inserted tuples is less than vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor, then statistics isn't considered to be stalled. vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor can be defined as both reloption and GUC (default). This patch bumps B-tree meta-page version. Upgrade of meta-page is performed "on the fly": during VACUUM meta-page is rewritten with new version. No special handling in pg_upgrade is required.

Make heap TID a tiebreaker nbtree index column. 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.

Make heap TID a tiebreaker nbtree index column. 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.

Harmonize nbtree page split point code. An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright tuples. The variables that represent split points contained a field called firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple, but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing. Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by _bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we describe nbtree page split point state. Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split(). Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.

Add deduplication to nbtree. Deduplication reduces the storage overhead of duplicates in indexes that use the standard nbtree index access method. The deduplication process is applied lazily, after the point where opportunistic deletion of LP_DEAD-marked index tuples occurs. Deduplication is only applied at the point where a leaf page split would otherwise be required. New posting list tuples are formed by merging together existing duplicate tuples. The physical representation of the items on an nbtree leaf page is made more space efficient by deduplication, but the logical contents of the page are not changed. Even unique indexes make use of deduplication as a way of controlling bloat from duplicates whose TIDs point to different versions of the same logical table row. The lazy approach taken by nbtree has significant advantages over a GIN style eager approach. Most individual inserts of index tuples have exactly the same overhead as before. The extra overhead of deduplication is amortized across insertions, just like the overhead of page splits. The key space of indexes works in the same way as it has since commit dd299df8 (the commit that made heap TID a tiebreaker column). Testing has shown that nbtree deduplication can generally make indexes with about 10 or 15 tuples for each distinct key value about 2.5X - 4X smaller, even with single column integer indexes (e.g., an index on a referencing column that accompanies a foreign key). The final size of single column nbtree indexes comes close to the final size of a similar contrib/btree_gin index, at least in cases where GIN's posting list compression isn't very effective. This can significantly improve transaction throughput, and significantly reduce the cost of vacuuming indexes. A new index storage parameter (deduplicate_items) controls the use of deduplication. The default setting is 'on', so all new B-Tree indexes automatically use deduplication where possible. This decision will be reviewed at the end of the Postgres 13 beta period.

Compute XID horizon for page level index vacuum on primary. Previously the xid horizon was only computed during WAL replay. That had two major problems: 1) It relied on knowing what the table pointed to looks like. That was easy enough before the introducing of tableam (we knew it had to be heap, although some trickery around logging the heap relfilenodes was required). But to properly handle table AMs we need per-database catalog access to look up the AM handler, which recovery doesn't allow. 2) Not knowing the xid horizon also makes it hard to support logical decoding on standbys. When on a catalog table, we need to be able to conflict with slots that have an xid horizon that's too old. But computing the horizon by visiting the heap only works once consistency is reached, but we always need to be able to detect conflicts. There's also a secondary problem, in that the current method performs redundant work on every standby. But that's counterbalanced by potentially computing the value when not necessary (either because there's no standby, or because there's no connected backends). Solve 1) and 2) by moving computation of the xid horizon to the primary and by involving tableam in the computation of the horizon. To address the potentially increased overhead, increase the efficiency of the xid horizon computation for heap by sorting the tids, and eliminating redundant buffer accesses. When prefetching is available, additionally perform prefetching of buffers. As this is more of a maintenance task, rather than something routinely done in every read only query, we add an arbitrary 10 to the effective concurrency - thereby using IO concurrency, when not globally enabled. That's possibly not the perfect formula, but seems good enough for now. Bumps WAL format, as latestRemovedXid is now part of the records, and the heap's relfilenode isn't anymore.
