Since we no longer require AccessExclusiveLock to add a partition,
the executor may see that a partitioned table has more partitions
than the planner saw. ExecCreatePartitionPruneState's code for
matching up the partition lists in such cases was faulty, and would
misbehave if the planner had successfully pruned any partitions from
the query. (Thus, trouble would occur only if a partition addition
happens concurrently with a query that uses both static and dynamic
partition pruning.) This led to an Assert failure in debug builds,
and probably to crashes or query misbehavior in production builds.
To repair the bug, just explicitly skip zeroes in the plan's
relid_map[] list. I also made some cosmetic changes to make the code
more readable (IMO anyway). Also, convert the cross-checking Assert
to a regular test-and-elog, since it's now apparent that this logic
is more fragile than one would like.
Currently, there's no way to repeatably exercise this code, except
with manual use of a debugger to stop the backend between planning
and execution. Hence, no test case in this patch. We oughta do
something about that testability gap, but that's for another day.

It was possible for the logic used by backward scans (which must reason
about concurrent page splits/deletions in its own peculiar way) to
become confused when running on a replica. Concurrent replay of a WAL
record that describes the second phase of page deletion could cause
_bt_walk_left() to get confused. btree_xlog_unlink_page() simply failed
to adhere to the same locking protocol that we use on the primary, which
is obviously wrong once you consider these two disparate functions
together. This bug is present in all stable branches.
More concretely, the problem was that nothing stopped _bt_walk_left()
from observing inconsistencies between the deletion's target page and
its original sibling pages when running on a replica. This is true even
though the second phase of page deletion is supposed to work as a single
atomic action. Queries running on replicas raised "could not find left
sibling of block %u in index %s" can't-happen errors when they went back
to their scan's "original" page and observed that the page has not been
marked deleted (even though it really was concurrently deleted).
There is no evidence that this actually happened in the real world. The
issue came to light during unrelated feature development work. Note
that _bt_walk_left() is the only code that cares about the difference
between a half-dead page and a fully deleted page that isn't also
exclusively used by nbtree VACUUM (unless you include contrib/amcheck
code). It seems very likely that backward scans are the only thing that
could become confused by the inconsistency. Even amcheck's complex
bt_right_page_check_scankey() dance was unaffected.
To fix, teach btree_xlog_unlink_page() to lock the left sibling, target,
and right sibling pages in that order before releasing any locks (just
like _bt_unlink_halfdead_page()). This is the simplest possible
approach. There doesn't seem to be any opportunity to be more clever
about lock acquisition in the REDO routine, and it hardly seems worth
the trouble in any case.
This fix might enable contrib/amcheck verification of leaf page sibling
links with only an AccessShareLock on the relation. An amcheck patch
from Andrey Borodin was rejected back in January because it clashed with
btree_xlog_unlink_page()'s lax approach to locking pages. It now seems
likely that the real problem was with btree_xlog_unlink_page(), not the
patch.
This is a low severity, low likelihood bug, so no backpatch.

Add a documenting assertion that's similar to the nearby assertion added
by commit cd8c73a3. This conveys that the entire call to _bt_pagedel()
does no work if it isn't possible to get a descent stack for the initial
scanblkno page.
A moment's examination of these queries is sufficient to see that
they do not produce duplicate rows, unless perhaps there's
catalog corruption. Using DISTINCT anyway is inefficient and
confusing; moreover it sets a poor example for anyone who
refers to psql -E output to see how to query the catalogs.
This ought to work much like C's "#elif defined(name)"; but the code
implemented it in a way equivalent to endif followed by ifdef, so that
it didn't matter whether any previous branch of the IF construct had
succeeded. Fix that; add some test cases covering elif and nested IFs;
and improve the documentation, which also seemed a bit confused.
AFAICS the code has been like this since the feature was added in 1999
(commit b57b0e044). So while it's surely wrong, there might be code
out there relying on the current behavior. Hence, don't back-patch

This allows AM-specific knowledge to be applied during creation of
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. Specifically, the AM knows better than
core code which entries to consider as required or optional. Giving
the latter entries the appropriate sort of dependency allows them to
be dropped without taking out the whole opclass or opfamily; which
is something we'd like to have to correct obsolescent entries in

This callback also opens the door to performing AM-specific validity
checks during opclass creation, rather than hoping than an opclass
developer will remember to test with "amvalidate". For the most part
I've not actually added any such checks yet; that can happen in a

The new hlCover() algorithm that I introduced in commit c9b0c678d
turns out to potentially take O(N^2) or worse time on long documents,
if there are many occurrences of individual query words but few or no
substrings that actually satisfy the query. (One way to hit this
behavior is with a "common_word & rare_word" type of query.) This
seems unavoidable given the original goal of checking every substring
of the document, so we have to back off that idea. Fortunately, it
seems unlikely that anyone would really want headlines spanning all of
a long document, so we can avoid the worse-than-linear behavior by
imposing a maximum length of substring that we'll consider.
For now, just hard-wire that maximum length as a multiple of max_words
times max_fragments. Perhaps at some point somebody will argue for
exposing it as a ts_headline parameter, but I'm hesitant to make such
a feature addition in a back-patched bug fix.
I also noted that the hlFirstIndex() function I'd added in that
commit was unnecessarily stupid: it really only needs to check whether
a HeadlineWordEntry's item pointer is null or not. This wouldn't make
all that much difference in typical cases with queries having just
a few terms, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned.
In addition, add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse.
This ensures that hlCover's loop is cancellable if it manages to take
a long time, and it may protect some other TS_execute callers as well.
Back-patch to 9.6 as the previous commit was. I also chose to add the
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call to 9.5. The old hlCover() algorithm seems

For pg_attribute, this allows to insert at once a full set of attributes
for a relation (roughly 15% of WAL reduction in extreme cases). For
pg_shdepend, this reduces the work done when creating new shared
dependencies from a database template. The number of slots used for the
insertion is capped at 64kB of data inserted for both, depending on the
number of items to insert and the length of the rows involved.
More can be done for other catalogs, like pg_depend. This part requires
a different approach as the number of slots to use depends also on the
number of entries discarded as pinned dependencies. This is also
related to the rework or dependency handling for ALTER TABLE and CREATE
TABLE, mainly.

Add a GUC that acts as a multiplier on work_mem. It gets applied when
sizing executor node hash tables that were previously size constrained
using work_mem alone.
The new GUC can be used to preferentially give hash-based nodes more
memory than the generic work_mem limit. It is intended to enable admin
tuning of the executor's memory usage. Overall system throughput and
system responsiveness can be improved by giving hash-based executor
nodes more memory (especially over sort-based alternatives, which are
often much less sensitive to being memory constrained).
The default value for hash_mem_multiplier is 1.0, which is also the
minimum valid value. This means that hash-based nodes continue to apply
work_mem in the traditional way by default.
hash_mem_multiplier is generally useful. However, it is being added now
due to concerns about hash aggregate performance stability for users
that upgrade to Postgres 13 (which added disk-based hash aggregation in
commit 1f39bce0). While the old hash aggregate behavior risked
out-of-memory errors, it is nevertheless likely that many users actually
benefited. Hash agg's previous indifference to work_mem during query
execution was not just faster; it also accidentally made aggregation
resilient to grouping estimate problems (at least in cases where this
didn't create destabilizing memory pressure).
hash_mem_multiplier can provide a certain kind of continuity with the
behavior of Postgres 12 hash aggregates in cases where the planner
incorrectly estimates that all groups (plus related allocations) will
fit in work_mem/hash_mem. This seems necessary because hash-based
aggregation is usually much slower when only a small fraction of all
groups can fit. Even when it isn't possible to totally avoid hash
aggregates that spill, giving hash aggregation more memory will reliably
improve performance (the same cannot be said for external sort
operations, which appear to be almost unaffected by memory availability
provided it's at least possible to get a single merge pass).
The PostgreSQL 13 release notes should advise users that increasing
hash_mem_multiplier can help with performance regressions associated
with hash aggregation. That can be taken care of by a later commit.

In the case of range partitioning, get_steps_using_prefix() assumes that
the passed-in prefix list contains at least one clause for each of the
partition keys earlier than one specified in the passed-in
step_lastkeyno, but the caller (ie, gen_prune_steps_from_opexps())
didn't take it into account, which led to a server crash or incorrect

at least one clause for each of the earlier partition keys in the case
of range partitioning.
While at it, fix some other issues:
* The list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix() is allowed to contain
multiple clauses for the same partition key, as described in the
comment for that function, but that function actually assumed that the
list contained just a single clause for each of middle partition keys,
which led to an assertion failure when the list contained multiple
clauses for such partition keys. Update that function to match the

* In the case of hash partitioning, partition keys are allowed to be
NULL, in which case the list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix()
contains no clauses for NULL partition keys, but that function treats
that case as like the case of range partitioning, which led to the
assertion failure. Update the assertion test to take into account
NULL partition keys in the case of hash partitioning.
* Fix a typo in a comment in get_steps_using_prefix_recurse().
* gen_partprune_steps() failed to detect self-contradiction from
strict-qual clauses and an IS NULL clause for the same partition key
in some cases, producing incorrect partition-pruning steps, which led
to incorrect results of partition pruning, but didn't cause any

Previously we would allocate blocks to parallel workers during a parallel
sequential scan 1 block at a time. Since other workers were likely to
request a block before a worker returns for another block number to work
on, this could lead to non-sequential I/O patterns in each worker which
could cause the operating system's readahead to perform poorly or not at
all.
Here we change things so that we allocate consecutive "chunks" of blocks
to workers and have them work on those until they're done, at which time
we allocate another chunk for the worker. The size of these chunks is
based on the size of the relation.
Initial patch here was by Thomas Munro which showed some good improvements
just having a fixed chunk size of 64 blocks with a simple ramp-down near
the end of the scan. The revisions of the patch to make the chunk size
based on the relation size and the adjusted ramp-down in powers of two was
done by me, along with quite extensive benchmarking to determine the
optimal chunk sizes.
For the most part, benchmarks have shown significant performance
improvements for large parallel sequential scans on Linux, FreeBSD and
Windows using SSDs. It's less clear how this affects the performance of
cloud providers. Tests done so far are unable to obtain stable enough
performance to provide meaningful benchmark results. It is possible that
this could cause some performance regressions on more obscure filesystems,
so we may need to later provide users with some ability to get something
closer to the old behavior. For now, let's leave that until we see that
it's really required.

For a parallel group leader, this means that the field would always be
set after it participated at least once in parallel query, and after
more discussions this could be confusing if using for example a

In binary COPY from frontend, there's no per-call fread(), and this
patch introduces an extra layer of memcpy'ing, but it still manages
to eke out a small win. Apparently, the control-logic overhead in
CopyGetData() is enough to be worth avoiding for small fetches.

Making these leakproof seems helpful since (for example) if you have a
function f(int8) that is leakproof, you don't want it to effectively
become non-leakproof when you apply it to an int4 or int2 column.
But that's what happens today, since the implicit up-coercion will
not be leakproof.
Most of the coercion functions that visibly can't throw errors are
functions that convert numeric datatypes to other, wider ones.
Notable is that float4_numeric and float8_numeric can be marked
leakproof; before commit a57d312a7 they could not have been.
I also marked the functions that coerce strings to "name" as leakproof;
that's okay today because they truncate silently, but if we ever
reconsidered that behavior then they could no longer be leakproof.
I desisted from marking rtrim1() as leakproof; it appears so right now,
but the code seems a little too complex and perhaps subject to change,
since it's shared with other SQL functions.

Commit 85c9d347 addressed a similar problem for Gather and Gather
Merge nodes but forgot to account for nodes above parallel nodes. This
still works for nodes above Gather node because we shut down the workers
for Gather node as soon as there are no more tuples. We can do a similar
thing for Gather Merge as well but it seems better to account for stats
during nodes shutdown after completing the execution.
