The optimization for inserts into BRIN indexes added by c1ec02be1d
relies on a cache that needs to be explicitly released after calling
index_insert(). The commit however failed to invoke the cleanup in
validate_index(), which calls index_insert() indirectly through
table_index_validate_scan().
After inspecting index_insert() callers, it seems unique_key_recheck()
is missing the call too.
Fixed by adding the two missing index_insert_cleanup() calls.
The commit does two additional improvements. The aminsertcleanup()
signature is modified to have the index as the first argument, to make
it more like the other AM callbacks. And the aminsertcleanup() callback
is invoked even if the ii_AmCache is NULL, so that it can decide if the
cleanup is necessary.

We make use of this by having index_concurrently_create_copy() copy

DDL code uses tuple descriptors to pass around pg_attribute values
during table and index creation. But tuple descriptors don't include
the variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute, so they have to
be handled separately. Right now, the attoptions field is handled in
a one-off way with a separate argument passed to
InsertPgAttributeTuples(). The other affected fields of pg_attribute
are right now not needed at relation creation time.
The goal of this patch is to generalize this to allow handling
additional variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute in a
similar manner. For that, create a new struct
FormExtraData_pg_attribute, which is to be passed around in parallel
to the tuple descriptor and optionally supplies the additional
columns. Right now, this struct only contains one field for
attoptions, so no functionality is actually changed by this.

Some manual adjustments of the automatic result:
- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global

those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to

This commit changes the order of reindex on a relation so as a toast
relation is processed before its main relation.
The original order, where a rebuild was first done for the indexes on
the main table, could be a problem in the event of a corruption of a
toast index, because, as scans of a toast index may be required to
rebuild the indexes on the main relation, this could lead to failures
with REINDEX TABLE without being able to fix anything.
Rebuilding corrupted toast indexes before this change was possible but
troublesome, as it was necessary to issue a REINDEX on the toast
relation first, followed by a REINDEX on the main relation. Changing
the order of these operations should make things easier when rebuilding
corrupted indexes, as toast indexes would be rebuilt before they are
used for the indexes on the main relation.

A REINDEX INDEX done on a partitioned index builds a list of the indexes
to work on before processing its partitions in individual transactions.
When combined with a DROP of the partitioned index, there was a window
where it was possible to see some unexpected "could not open relation
with OID", synonym of relation lookup error. The code was robust enough
to handle the case where the parent relation is missing, but not the
case where an index would be gone missing.

This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row. If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios. (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.) Also, null is the semantically more correct value.
The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.
For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.
To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used. (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

Allow using multiple worker processes to build BRIN index, which until
now was supported only for BTREE indexes. For large tables this often
results in significant speedup when the build is CPU-bound.
The work is split in a simple way - each worker builds BRIN summaries on
a subset of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to
read the data, and feeds them into a shared tuplesort which sorts them
by blkno (start of the range). The leader then reads this sorted stream
of ranges, merges duplicates (which may happen if the parallel scan does
not align with BRIN pages_per_range), and adds the resulting ranges into
the index.
The number of duplicate results produced by workers (requiring merging
in the leader process) should be fairly small, thanks to how parallel
scans assign chunks to workers. The likelihood of duplicate results may
increase for higher pages_per_range values, but then there are fewer
page ranges in total. In any case, we expect the merging to be much
cheaper than summarization, so this should be a win.
Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code
used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for BRIN indexes
(e.g. uniqueness checks).
This also introduces a new index AM flag amcanbuildparallel, determining
whether to attempt to start parallel workers for the index build.

This code was sloppy about comparison of index columns that
are expressions. It didn't reliably reject cases where one
index has an expression where the other has a plain column,
and it could index off the start of the attmap array, leading
to a Valgrind complaint (though an actual crash seems unlikely).
I'm not sure that the expression-vs-column sloppiness leads
to any visible problem in practice, because the subsequent
comparison of the two expression lists would reject cases
where the indexes have different numbers of expressions
overall. Maybe we could falsely match indexes having the
same expressions in different column positions, but it'd
require unlucky contents of the word before the attmap array.
It's not too surprising that no problem has been reported
from the field. Nonetheless, this code is clearly wrong.

We create a file, so we better WAL-log it. In practice, all the
built-in index AMs and all extensions that I'm aware of write a
metapage to the init fork, which is WAL-logged, and replay of the
metapage implicitly creates the fork too. But if ambuildempty() didn't
write any page, we would miss it.
This can be seen with dummy_index_am. Set up replication, create a
'dummy_index_am' index on an unlogged table, and look at the files
created in the replica: the init fork is not created on the
replica. Dummy_index_am doesn't do anything with the relation files,
however, so it doesn't lead to any user-visible errors.

The motivation for this change is that when pg_dump dumps a
partitioned index that's marked REPLICA IDENTITY, it generates a
command sequence that applies REPLICA IDENTITY before the partitioned
index has been marked valid, causing restore to fail. We could
perhaps change pg_dump to not do it like that, but that would be
difficult and would not fix existing dump files with the problem.
There seems to be very little reason for the backend to disallow
this anyway --- the code ignores indisreplident when the index
isn't valid --- so instead let's fix it by allowing the case.
Commit 9511fb37a previously expressed a concern that allowing
indisreplident to be set on invalid indexes might allow us to
wind up in a situation where a table could have indisreplident
set on multiple indexes. I'm not sure I follow that concern
exactly, but in any case the only way that could happen is because
relation_mark_replica_identity is too trusting about the existing set
of markings being valid. Let's just rip out its early-exit code path
(which sure looks like premature optimization anyway; what are we
doing expending code to make redundant ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA
IDENTITY commands marginally faster and not-redundant ones marginally
slower?) and fix it to positively guarantee that no more than one
index is marked indisreplident.
The pg_dump failure can be demonstrated in all supported branches,
so back-patch all the way. I chose to back-patch 9511fb37a as well,
just to keep indisreplident handling the same in all branches.

There are still some alignment-related failures in the buildfarm,
which might or might not be able to be fixed quickly, but I've also
just realized that it increased the size of many WAL records by 4 bytes
because a block reference contains a RelFileLocator. The effect of that
hasn't been studied or discussed, so revert for now.
RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of
being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around:
if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error
occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this
limitation should not cause a problem in practice.
If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would
need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely
impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for
pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed
at the SQL level without worrying about overflow.
This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until
the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep
RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen
anyway. However, this patch doesn't actually change anything in
this area; it just makes it possible for a future patch to do so.

Because index creation does not go through heap_create_with_catalog() we
didn't call pgstat_create_relation(), leading to index stats of a newly
created realtion not getting dropped during rollback. To fix, move the
pgstat_create_relation() to heap_create(), which indexes do use.
Similarly, because dropping an index does not go through
heap_drop_with_catalog(), we didn't drop index stats when the transaction
dropping an index committed. Here there's no convenient common path for
indexes and relations, so index_drop() now calls pgstat_drop_relation().

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in
unique constraints should be considered equal or not. Different
implementations have different behaviors. In the SQL:202x draft, this
has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding
an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT]
DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly.
This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL. The default behavior
remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT. Making this happen in the btree code
is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to
all the places that need it.
The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard,
it's my own invention.
I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the negative
("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL behavior is the
default if the flag is false.

That's problematic when replication behavior is being driven off the
existence of a primary key: other sessions (and ours too for that

be replicated. Add a relcache invalidation to fix it.

Currently, database OIDs, relfilenodes, and tablespace OIDs can all
change when a cluster is upgraded using pg_upgrade. It seems better
to preserve them, because (1) it makes troubleshooting pg_upgrade
easier, since you don't have to do a lot of work to match up files
in the old and new clusters, (2) it allows 'rsync' to save bandwidth
when used to re-sync a cluster after an upgrade, and (3) if we ever

depends on these values.
This patch only arranges to preserve relfilenodes and tablespace

FOREIGN KEY (tenant_id, author_id) REFERENCES users ON DELETE SET NULL (author_id)
);
If a column list is specified, only those columns are set to
null/default, instead of all the columns in the foreign-key
constraint.
This is useful for multitenant or sharded schemas, where the tenant or
shard ID is included in the primary key of all tables but shouldn't be
set to null.
