This function is written as though Gather doesn't project; but it does.
Even if it did not project, though, we must use build_path_tlist to ensure
that the output columns receive correct sortgroupref labeling.

Commit ccd8f97922 gave us the ability to
request that the remote side sort the data, and, later, commit
e4106b2528 gave us the ability to
request that the remote side perform the join for us rather than doing
it locally. But we could not do both things at the same time: a
remote SQL query that had an ORDER BY clause would never be a join.
This commit adds that capability.

Refactor so that the internal APIs in planner.c deal in PathTargets not
targetlists, and establish a more regular structure for deriving the
targets needed for successive steps.
There is more that could be done here; calculating the eval costs of each
successive target independently is both inefficient and wrong in detail,
since we won't actually recompute values available from the input node's
tlist. But it's no worse than what happened before the pathification
rewrite. In any case this seems like a good starting point for considering
how to handle Konstantin Knizhnik's function-evaluation-postponement patch.
Python's allocator does some low-level tricks for efficiency;
unfortunately they trigger valgrind errors. Those tricks can be disabled
making instrumentation easier; but few people testing postgres will have
such a build of python. So add broad suppressions of the resulting
errors.
See also https://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Misc/README.valgrind
This possibly will suppress valid errors, but without it it's basically
impossible to use valgrind with plpython code.

Backpatch: 9.4, where we started to maintain valgrind suppressions
Instead of having planner.c compute a groupColIdx array and store it in
GroupingSetsPaths, make create_groupingsets_plan() find the grouping
columns by searching in the child plan node's tlist. Although that's
probably a bit slower for create_groupingsets_plan(), it's more like
the way every other plan node type does this, and it provides positive
confirmation that we know which child output columns we're supposed to be
grouping on. (Indeed, looking at this now, I'm not at all sure that it
wasn't broken before, because create_groupingsets_plan() isn't demanding
an exact tlist match from its child node.) Also, this allows substantial
simplification in planner.c, because it no longer needs to compute the
groupColIdx array at all; no other cases were using it.
I'd intended to put off this refactoring until later (like 9.7), but
in view of the likely bug fix and the need to rationalize planner.c's
tlist handling so we can do something sane with Konstantin Knizhnik's
function-evaluation-postponement patch, I think it can't wait.
Struct QL_HELP used to be defined as static in the sql_help.h header
file, which is included in sql_help.c and help.c, thus creating two
separate instances of the struct. This causes a warning from GCC 6,
because the struct is not used in sql_help.c.
Instead, declare the struct as extern in the header file and define it
in sql_help.c. This also allows making a bunch of functions static
because they are no longer needed outside of sql_help.c.

I passed the wrong "root" struct to create_pathtarget in build_minmax_path.
Since the subroot is a clone of the outer root, this would not cause any
serious problems, but it would waste some cycles because
set_pathtarget_cost_width would not have access to Var width estimates
set up while running query_planner on the subroot.

This patch removes some redundant cost calculations that I left for later
cleanup in commit 3fc6e2d7f5. There's now a uniform policy that the
make_foo() convenience functions don't do any cost calculations. Most of
their callers copy costs from the source Path node, and for those that
don't, the calculation in the make_foo() function wasn't necessarily right
anyhow. (make_result() was particularly a mess, as it was serving multiple
callers using cost calcs designed for only the first one or two that had
ever existed.) Aside from saving a few cycles, this ensures that what
EXPLAIN prints matches the costs we used for planning purposes. It does
not change any planner decisions, since the decisions are already made.
Without this fix, it inevitably bombs out with "ERROR: failed to
initialize transaction_read_only to 0". Repair.

Commit a892234f83 added a second bit per
page to the visibility map, which still seems like a good idea, but it
also added a second page-level bit alongside PD_ALL_VISIBLE to track
whether the visibility map bit was set. That no longer seems like a
clever plan, because we don't really need that bit for anything. We
always clear both bits when the page is modified anyway.

As originally committed, get_controlfile() used a non-standard approach
to error logging. Make it consistent with the majority of error logging
done in src/common.
Applies to master only.
Coverity and inspection for the issue addressed in fd45d16f found some
questionable code.
Specifically coverity noticed that the wrong length was added in
ReorderBufferSerializeChange() - without immediate negative consequences
as the variable isn't used afterwards. During code-review and testing I
noticed that a bit of space was wasted when allocating tuple bufs in
several places. Thirdly, the debug memset()s in
ReorderBufferGetTupleBuf() reduce the error checking valgrind can do.

I've been saying we needed to do this for more than five years, and here it
finally is. This patch removes the ever-growing tangle of spaghetti logic
that grouping_planner() used to use to try to identify the best plan for
post-scan/join query steps. Now, there is (nearly) independent
consideration of each execution step, and entirely separate construction of
Paths to represent each of the possible ways to do that step. We choose
the best Path or set of Paths using the same add_path() logic that's been
used inside query_planner() for years.
In addition, this patch removes the old restriction that subquery_planner()
could return only a single Plan. It now returns a RelOptInfo containing a
set of Paths, just as query_planner() does, and the parent query level can
use each of those Paths as the basis of a SubqueryScanPath at its level.
This allows finding some optimizations that we missed before, wherein a
subquery was capable of returning presorted data and thereby avoiding a
sort in the parent level, making the overall cost cheaper even though
delivering sorted output was not the cheapest plan for the subquery in
isolation. (A couple of regression test outputs change in consequence of
that. However, there is very little change in visible planner behavior
overall, because the point of this patch is not to get immediate planning
benefits but to create the infrastructure for future improvements.)
There is a great deal left to do here. This patch unblocks a lot of
planner work that was basically impractical in the old code structure,
such as allowing FDWs to implement remote aggregation, or rewriting
plan_set_operations() to allow consideration of multiple implementation
orders for set operations. (The latter will likely require a full
rewrite of plan_set_operations(); what I've done here is only to fix it
to return Paths not Plans.) I have also left unfinished some localized
refactoring in createplan.c and planner.c, because it was not necessary
to get this patch to a working state.

As written, this would accept e.g. 123e9 as a function name. Aside
from being mildly astonishing, that would come back to haunt us if
we ever try to add float constants to the expression syntax. Insist
that function names start with letters (or at least non-digits).
In passing reset yyline as well as yycol when starting a new expression.
This variable is useless since it's used nowhere, but if we're going
to have it we should have it act sanely.
In c8f621c43 I forgot to account for MAXALIGN when allocating a new
tuplebuf in ReorderBufferGetTupleBuf(). That happens to currently not
cause active problems on a number of platforms because the affected
pointer is already aligned, but others, like ppc and hppa, trigger this
in the regression test, due to a debug memset clearing memory.
Fix that.
Backpatch: 9.4, like the previous commit.
There were two places in spell.c that supposed that they could search
for a location in a string produced by lowerstr() and then transpose
the offset into the original string. But this fails completely if
lowerstr() transforms any characters into characters of different byte
length, as can happen in Turkish UTF8 for instance.
We'd added some comments about this coding in commit 51e78ab4ff,
but failed to realize that it was not merely confusing but wrong.
Coverity complained about this code years ago, but in such an opaque
fashion that nobody understood what it was on about. I'm not entirely
sure that this issue *is* what it's on about, actually, but perhaps
this patch will shut it up -- and in any case the problem is clear.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
isdigit(), isspace(), etc are likely to give surprising results if passed a
signed char. We should always cast the argument to unsigned char to avoid
that. Error in commit d78a7d9c7f, found by buildfarm member gaur.
When decoding the old version of an UPDATE or DELETE change, and if that
tuple was bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, we either Assert'ed out, or
failed in more subtle ways in non-assert builds. Normally individual
tuples aren't bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, with big datums toasted.
But that's not the case for the old version of a tuple for logical
decoding; the replica identity is logged as one piece. With the default
replica identity btree limits that to small tuples, but that's not the
case for FULL.
Change the tuple buffer infrastructure to separate allocate over-large
tuples, instead of always going through the slab cache.
This unfortunately requires changing the ReorderBufferTupleBuf
definition, we need to store the allocated size someplace. To avoid
requiring output plugins to recompile, don't store HeapTupleHeaderData
directly after HeapTupleData, but point to it via t_data; that leaves
rooms for the allocated size. As there's no reason for an output plugin
to look at ReorderBufferTupleBuf->t_data.header, remove the field. It
was just a minor convenience having it directly accessible.

Somehow I managed to flip the order of restoring old & new tuples when
de-spooling a change in a large transaction from disk. This happens to
only take effect when a change is spooled to disk which has old/new
versions of the tuple. That only is the case for UPDATEs where he
primary key changed or where replica identity is changed to FULL.
The tests didn't catch this because either spooled updates, or updates
that changed primary keys, were tested; not both at the same time.
Found while adding tests for the following commit.
Backpatch: 9.4, where logical decoding was added
Logical decoding's reorderbuffer keeps transactions in an LSN ordered
list for efficiency. To make that's efficiently possible upper-level
xids are forced to be logged before nested subtransaction xids. That
only works though if these records are all looked at: Unfortunately we
didn't do so for e.g. row level locks, which are otherwise uninteresting
for logical decoding.
This could lead to errors like:
"ERROR: subxact logged without previous toplevel record".
It's not sufficient to just look at row locking records, the xid could
appear first due to a lot of other types of records (which will trigger
the transaction to be marked logged with MarkCurrentTransactionIdLoggedIfAny).
So invent infrastructure to tell reorderbuffer about xids seen, when
they'd otherwise not pass through reorderbuffer.c.

Previously recovery_min_apply_delay was applied even before recovery
had reached consistency. This could cause us to wait a long time
unexpectedly for read-only connections to be allowed. It's problematic
because the standby was useless during that wait time.
This patch changes recovery_min_apply_delay so that it's applied once
the database has reached the consistent state. That is, even if the delay
is set, the standby tries to replay WAL records as fast as possible until
it has reached consistency.

Historically, the wait_for_stats() function in this test has simply checked
for a report of an indexscan on tenk2, corresponding to the last command
issued before we expect stats updates to appear. However, with parallel
query that indexscan could be done by a parallel worker that will emit
its stats counters to the collector before the session's main backend does
(a full second before, in fact, thanks to the "pg_sleep(1.0)" added by
commit 957d08c81f). That leaves a sizable window in which an
autovacuum-triggered write of the stats files would present a state in
which the indexscan on tenk2 appears to have been done, but none of the
write updates performed by the test have been. This is evidently the
explanation for intermittent failures seen by me and on buildfarm member
mandrill.
To fix, we should check separately for both the tenk2 seqscan and indexscan
counts, since those might be reported by different processes that could be
delayed arbitrarily on an overloaded test machine. And we need to check
for at least one update-related count. If we ever allow parallel workers
to do writes, this will get even more complicated ... but in view of all
the other hard problems that will entail, I don't feel a need to solve this
one today.

Originally, we didn't have nworkers_launched, so code that used parallel
contexts had to be preprared for the possibility that not all of the
workers requested actually got launched. But now we can count on knowing
the number of workers that were successfully launched, which can shave
off a few cycles and simplify some code slightly.
