Magnus Hagander 252b707bc4 Return NULL for checksum failures if checksums are not enabled
Returning 0 could falsely indicate that there is no problem. NULL
correctly indicates that there is no information about potential

Also return 0 as numbackends instead of NULL for shared objects (as no

Michael Paquier a6dcf9df4d Rework handling of invalid indexes with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
Per discussion with others, allowing REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY to work
for invalid indexes when working directly on them can have a lot of
value to unlock situations with invalid indexes without having to use a
dance involving DROP INDEX followed by an extra CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY (which would not work for indexes with constraint
dependency anyway).  This also does not create extra bloat on the
relation involved as this works on individual indexes, so let's enable
it.

Note that REINDEX TABLE CONCURRENTLY still bypasses invalid indexes as
we don't want to bloat the number of indexes defined on a relation in
the event of multiple and successive failures of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.

More regression tests are added to cover those behaviors, using an
invalid index created with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.

Fujii Masao 119dcfad98 Add vacuum_truncate reloption.
vacuum_truncate controls whether vacuum tries to truncate off
any empty pages at the end of the table. Previously vacuum always
tried to do the truncation. However, the truncation could cause
some problems; for example, ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock needs to
be taken on the table during the truncation and can cause
the query cancellation on the standby even if hot_standby_feedback
is true. Setting this reloption to false can be helpful to avoid
such problems.

Michael Paquier 249d649996 Add support TCP user timeout in libpq and the backend server
Similarly to the set of parameters for keepalive, a connection parameter
for libpq is added as well as a backend GUC, called tcp_user_timeout.

Increasing the TCP user timeout is useful to allow a connection to
survive extended periods without end-to-end connection, and decreasing
it allows application to fail faster.  By default, the parameter is 0,
which makes the connection use the system default, and follows a logic
close to the keepalive parameters in its handling.  When connecting
through a Unix-socket domain, the parameters have no effect.

Stephen Frost c46c85d459 Handle errors during GSSAPI startup better
There was some confusion over the format of the error message returned
from the server during GSSAPI startup; specifically, it was expected
that a length would be returned when, in reality, at this early stage in
the startup sequence, no length is returned from the server as part of
an error message.

Correct the client-side code for dealing with error messages sent by the
server during startup by simply reading what's available into our
buffer, after we've discovered it's an error message, and then reporting
back what was returned.

In passing, also add in documentation of the environment variable
PGGSSENCMODE which was missed previously, and adjust the code to look
for the PGGSSENCMODE variable (the environment variable change was
missed in the prior GSSMODE -> GSSENCMODE commit).

Error-handling issue discovered by Peter Eisentraut, the rest were items
discovered during testing of the error handling.

pg_rewind, and the documentation stated that a superuser is necessary.
Let's add at the same time all the details needed to create such a

A second confusion which comes a lot from users is that it is necessary
to issue a checkpoint on a freshly-promoted standby so as its control
file has up-to-date timeline information which is used by pg_rewind to
validate the operation.  Let's document that properly.  This is

Tom Lane 7bac3acab4 Add a "SQLSTATE-only" error verbosity option to libpq and psql.
This is intended for use mostly in test scripts for external tools,
which could do without cross-PG-version variations in error message
wording.  Of course, the SQLSTATE isn't guaranteed stable either, but
it should be more so than the error message text.

Note: there's a bit of an ABI change for libpq here, but it seems
OK because if somebody compiles against a newer version of libpq-fe.h,
and then tries to pass PQERRORS_SQLSTATE to PQsetErrorVerbosity()
of an older libpq library, it will be accepted and then act like
PQERRORS_DEFAULT, thanks to the way the tests in pqBuildErrorMessage3
have historically been phrased.  That seems acceptable.

On both the frontend and backend, prepare for GSSAPI encryption
support by moving common code for error handling into a separate file.
Fix a TODO for handling multiple status messages in the process.
Eliminate the OIDs, which have not been needed for some time.

Add frontend and backend encryption support functions.  Keep the
context initiation for authentication-only separate on both the
frontend and backend in order to avoid concerns about changing the
requested flags to include encryption support.

In postmaster, pull GSSAPI authorization checking into a shared
function.  Also share the initiator name between the encryption and
non-encryption codepaths.

For HBA, add "hostgssenc" and "hostnogssenc" entries that behave
similarly to their SSL counterparts.  "hostgssenc" requires either
"gss", "trust", or "reject" for its authentication.

Similarly, add a "gssencmode" parameter to libpq.  Supported values are
"disable", "require", and "prefer".  Notably, negotiation will only be
attempted if credentials can be acquired.  Move credential acquisition
into its own function to support this behavior.

Add a simple pg_stat_gssapi view similar to pg_stat_ssl, for monitoring
if GSSAPI authentication was used, what principal was used, and if
encryption is being used on the connection.

Finally, add documentation for everything new, and update existing
documentation on connection security.

This uses the progress reporting infrastructure added by c16dc1aca5,

There are two pieces to this: one is index-AM-agnostic, and the other is

reportage for parallel index builds and the separate phases that btree
index creation uses; other index AMs, which are much simpler in their
building procedures, have simplistic reporting only, but that seems
sufficient, at least for non-concurrent builds.

The index-AM-agnostic part is fairly complete, providing insight into
the CONCURRENTLY wait phases as well as block-based progress during the
index validation table scan.  (The index validation index scan requires
patching each AM, which has not been included here.)

Peter Eisentraut cc8d415117 Unified logging system for command-line programs
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error

Features:

- Program name is automatically prefixed.

- Message string does not end with newline.  This removes a common
  source of inconsistencies and omissions.

- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
  use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.

- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.

- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
  strings can be shared between different components and between
  frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
  differences.

- There is support for setting a "log level".  This is not meant to be
  user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
  verbose modes.

- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
  some level is disabled.

- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang.  Set
  PG_COLOR=auto to try it out.  Some colors are predefined, but can be
  customized by setting PG_COLORS.

- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
  simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
  context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
  pass "progname" around everywhere.

- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
  unbuffered, even on Windows.  But not all programs did that.  This
  is now done centrally.

Soft goals:

- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
  in the source code.

- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages.  For example,
  in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
  whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.

- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
  frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.

This is all just about printing stuff out.  Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits).  The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.

I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded.  One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout.  That is now
changed to stderr.

Alexander Korotkov 0a02e2ae02 GIN support for @@ and @? jsonpath operators
This commit makes existing GIN operator classes jsonb_ops and json_path_ops
support "jsonb @@ jsonpath" and "jsonb @? jsonpath" operators.  Basic idea is
to extract statements of following form out of jsonpath.

 key1.key2. ... .keyN = const

The rest of jsonpath is rechecked from heap.

Catversion is bumped.

Andres Freund 73c954d248 tableam: sample scan.
This moves sample scan support to below tableam. It's not optional as
there is, in contrast to e.g. bitmap heap scans, no alternative way to
perform tablesample queries. If an AM can't deal with the block based
API, it will have to throw an ERROR.

The tableam callbacks for this are block based, but given the current
TsmRoutine interface, that seems to be required.

The new interface doesn't require TsmRoutines to perform visibility
checks anymore - that requires the TsmRoutine to know details about
the AM, which we want to avoid.  To continue to allow taking the
returned number of tuples account SampleScanState now has a donetuples
field (which previously e.g. existed in SystemRowsSamplerData), which
is only incremented after the visibility check succeeds.

Peter Eisentraut fc22b6623b Generated columns
This is an SQL-standard feature that allows creating columns that are
computed from expressions rather than assigned, similar to a view or
materialized view but on a column basis.

This implements one kind of generated column: stored (computed on
write).  Another kind, virtual (computed on read), is planned for the
future, and some room is left for it.
