Fujii Masao 9a895462d9 Enhance pg_stat_wal_receiver view to display host and port of sender server.
Previously there was no way in the standby side to find out the host and port
of the sender server that the walreceiver was currently connected to when
multiple hosts and ports were specified in primary_conninfo. For that purpose,
this patch adds sender_host and sender_port columns into pg_stat_wal_receiver
view. They report the host and port that the active replication connection
currently uses.

Bump catalog version.

Peter Eisentraut 056a5a3f63 Allow committing inside cursor loop
Previously, committing or aborting inside a cursor loop was prohibited
because that would close and remove the cursor.  To allow that,
automatically convert such cursors to holdable cursors so they survive
commits or rollbacks.  Portals now have a new state "auto-held", which
means they have been converted automatically from pinned.  An auto-held
portal is kept on transaction commit or rollback, but is still removed
when returning to the main loop on error.

This supports all languages that have cursor loop constructs: PL/pgSQL,
PL/Python, PL/Perl.

Fujii Masao 266b6acb31 Make pg_rewind skip files and directories that are removed during server start.
The target cluster that was rewound needs to perform recovery from
the checkpoint created at failover, which leads it to remove or recreate
some files and directories that may have been copied from the source
cluster. So pg_rewind can skip synchronizing such files and directories,
and which reduces the amount of data transferred during a rewind
without changing the usefulness of the operation.

Andrew Dunstan 16828d5c02 Fast ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a non-NULL default
Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.

Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.

The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g.  catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Andrew Dunstan, heavily modified from an original patch from Serge
Rielau.

Peter Eisentraut 1944cdc982 libpq: PQhost to return active connected host or hostaddr
Previously, PQhost didn't return the connected host details when the
connection type was CHT_HOST_ADDRESS (i.e., via hostaddr).  Instead, it
returned the complete host connection parameter (which could contain
multiple hosts) or the default host details, which was confusing and
arguably incorrect.

Change this to return the actually connected host or hostaddr
irrespective of the connection type.  When hostaddr but no host was
specified, hostaddr is now returned.  Never return the original host
connection parameter, and document that PQhost cannot be relied on
before the connection is established.

PQport is similarly changed to always return the active connection port
and never the original connection parameter.

Tom Lane c515ff8d0a Doc: add example of type resolution in nested UNIONs.
Section 10.5 didn't say explicitly that multiple UNIONs are resolved
pairwise.  Since the resolution algorithm is described as taking any
number of inputs, readers might well think that a query like
"select x union select y union select z" would be resolved by
considering x, y, and z in one resolution step.  But that's not what
happens (and I think that behavior is per SQL spec).  Add an example
clarifying this point.

Tom Lane 7c91a0364f Sync up our various ways of estimating pg_class.reltuples.
VACUUM thought that reltuples represents the total number of tuples in
the relation, while ANALYZE counted only live tuples.  This can cause
"flapping" in the value when background vacuums and analyzes happen
separately.  The planner's use of reltuples essentially assumes that
it's the count of live (visible) tuples, so let's standardize on having
it mean live tuples.

Another issue is that the definition of "live tuple" isn't totally clear;
what should be done with INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples?
ANALYZE's choices in this regard are made on the assumption that if the
originating transaction commits at all, it will happen after ANALYZE
finishes, so we should ignore the effects of the in-progress transaction
--- unless it is our own transaction, and then we should count it.
Let's propagate this definition into VACUUM, too.

Likewise propagate this definition into CREATE INDEX, and into
contrib/pgstattuple's pgstattuple_approx() function.

Robert Haas e2f1eb0ee3 Implement partition-wise grouping/aggregation.
If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY
clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single
partition.  This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition.  This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.

If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results.  This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Peter Eisentraut 325f2ec555 Handle heap rewrites even better in logical decoding
Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as
part of a heap rewrite during DDL.  Those tables don't exist externally,
so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that
information.  In ab28feae2b, we worked
around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack.

This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new
field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID.  By
default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the
output plugin.  Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in
getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the
new field will help them get information about the actual table.

If a view lacks an INSTEAD OF trigger, DML on it can only work by rewriting
the command into a command on the underlying base table(s).  Then we will
fire triggers attached to those table(s), not those for the view.  This
seems appropriate from a consistency standpoint, but nowhere was the
behavior explicitly documented, so let's do that.

There was some discussion of throwing an error or warning if a statement
trigger is created on a view without creating a row INSTEAD OF trigger.
But a simple implementation of that would result in dump/restore ordering
hazards.  Given that it's been like this all along, and we hadn't heard
