Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
|
||||
(Jan Wieck)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
|
||||
lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
|
||||
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
|
||||
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
|
||||
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
|
||||
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
|
||||
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
|
||||
conflicting request arrives.

Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
|
||||
(Jan Wieck)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
|
||||
lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
|
||||
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
|
||||
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
|
||||
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
|
||||
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
|
||||
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
|
||||
conflicting request arrives.

|

Remove some data-copying overhead that was added in 9.2 as a
|
||||
consequence of revisions in the plan caching mechanism. This
|
||||
eliminates a performance regression compared to 9.1, and also saves
|
||||
memory, especially when the query string to be executed contains many
|
||||
SQL statements.

</para>

<para>

A side benefit is that multi-statement query strings are now

processed fully serially, that is we complete execution of earlier
|
||||
statements before running parse analysis and planning on the
|
||||
following ones. This eliminates a long-standing issue, in that DDL
|
||||
that should affect the behavior of a later statement will now behave as
|
||||
expected.
