#include "access/htup.h"
Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.h This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.

Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassembly of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

/*----------
Replace the array-style TupleTable data structure with a simple List of TupleTableSlot nodes. This eliminates the need to count in advance how many Slots will be needed, which seems more than worth the small increase in the amount of palloc traffic during executor startup. The ExecCountSlots infrastructure is now all dead code, but I'll remove it in a separate commit for clarity. Per a comment from Robert Haas.

Fix an oversight in the support for storing/retrieving "minimal tuples" in TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions. Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted than before. Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced.
2009-03-30 06:08:43 +02:00
* It is also possible for a TupleTableSlot to hold both physical and minimal
* copies of a tuple. This is done when the slot is requested to provide
* the format other than the one it currently holds. (Originally we attempted
* to handle such requests by replacing one format with the other, but that
* had the fatal defect of invalidating any pass-by-reference Datums pointing
* into the existing slot contents.) Both copies must contain identical data
* payloads when this is the case.

Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in use by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

* The tupleDescriptor is simply referenced, not copied, by the TupleTableSlot
* code. The caller of ExecSetSlotDescriptor() is responsible for providing
* a descriptor that will live as long as the slot does. (Typically, both
* slots and descriptors are in per-query memory and are freed by memory
* context deallocation at query end; so it's not worth providing any extra
* mechanism to do more. However, the slot will increment the tupdesc
* reference count if a reference-counted tupdesc is supplied.)

Fix an oversight in the support for storing/retrieving "minimal tuples" in TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions.

Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassembly of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

Replace the array-style TupleTable data structure with a simple List of TupleTableSlot nodes. This eliminates the need to count in advance how many Slots will be needed, which seems more than worth the small increase in the amount of palloc traffic during executor startup. The ExecCountSlots infrastructure is now all dead code, but I'll remove it in a separate commit for clarity. Per a comment from Robert Haas.

Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in use by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.
