When bt_index_parent_check() is called with the heapallindexed option,
allocate a second Bloom filter to fingerprint block numbers that appear
in the downlinks of internal pages. Use Bloom filter probes when
walking the B-Tree to detect missing downlinks. This can detect subtle
problems with page deletion/VACUUM, such as corruption caused by the bug
just fixed in commit 6db4b499.
The downlink Bloom filter is bound in size by work_mem. Its optimal
size is typically far smaller than that of the regular heapallindexed
Bloom filter, especially when the index has high fan-out.

On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much
everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag
ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also
check the clause's required_relids. Otherwise we could make incorrect
decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause.
Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are
never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there
are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway.
However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather
than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort.
In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should
be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

Add several assertions that ensure that we're dealing with a pivot tuple
without non-key attributes where that's expected. Also, remove the
assertion within _bt_isequal(), restoring the v10 function signature. A
similar check will be performed for the page highkey within
_bt_moveright() in most cases. Also avoid dropping all objects within
regression tests, to increase pg_dump test coverage for INCLUDE indexes.
Rather than using infrastructure that's generally intended to be used
with reference counted heap tuple descriptors during truncation, use the
same function that was introduced to store flat TupleDescs in shared
memory (we use a temp palloc'd buffer). This isn't strictly necessary,
but seems more future-proof than the old approach. It also lets us
avoid including rel.h within indextuple.c, which was arguably a
modularity violation. Also, we now call index_deform_tuple() with the
truncated TupleDesc, not the source TupleDesc, since that's more robust,
and saves a few cycles.
In passing, fix a memory leak by pfree'ing truncated pivot tuple memory
during CREATE INDEX. Also pfree during a page split, just to be
consistent.

Spelling access(2)'s second argument as "2" is just horrid.
POSIX makes no promises as to the numeric values of W_OK and related
macros. Even if it accidentally works as intended on every supported
platform, it's still unreadable and inconsistent with adjacent code.
In passing, don't spell "NULL" as "0" either. Yes, that's legal C;
no, it's not project style.
Back-patch, just in case the unportability is real and not theoretical.
(Most likely, even if a platform had different bit assignments for
access()'s modes, there'd not be an observable behavior difference
here; but I'm being paranoid today.)
We've made multiple attempts to stabilize the plans shown by commit
1bc0100d2, with little success so far. The reason for the remaining
instability seems to be that if a transaction (such as auto-analyze)
is running concurrently with the test, then get_actual_variable_range may
return a maximum value for "T 1"."C 1" that's far away from the actual max,
as a result of our having transiently inserted such a value earlier in
the test. Because we use a non-MVCC snapshot to fetch the value (for
performance reasons), the presence of other transactions can cause that
function to return entries that are actually dead.
To fix, use a less extreme value in the earlier transient insertion, so
that whether it is visible or not won't affect the selectivity estimate.
The use of 9999 there seems to have been picked with the aid of a
dartboard anyway, rather than having a specific reason.

In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h
should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes
(and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h.
However, various frontend code was depending on it to get
TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for.
The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY,
as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up
inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of
catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a
result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And
initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.)

Traditionally, include/catalog/pg_foo.h contains extern declarations
for functions in backend/catalog/pg_foo.c, in addition to its function
as the authoritative definition of the pg_foo catalog's rowtype.
In some cases, we'd been forced to split out those extern declarations
into separate pg_foo_fn.h headers so that the catalog definitions
could be #include'd by frontend code. That problem is gone as of
commit 9c0a0de4c, so let's undo the splits to make things less
confusing.

This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause
specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in
the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to
benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have
appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE
columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans.
Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag
in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause.
In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples
(tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes
now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides
generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their
attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating
that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation.
The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special
handling of B-tree indexes for that.

This provides a newer version of adminpack which works with the newly
added default roles to support GRANT'ing to non-superusers access to
read and write files, along with related functions (unlinking files,
getting file length, renaming/removing files, scanning the log file
directory) which are supported through adminpack.
Note that new versions of the functions are required because an
environment might have an updated version of the library but still have
the old adminpack 1.0 catalog definitions (where EXECUTE is GRANT'd to
PUBLIC for the functions).
This patch also removes the long-deprecated alternative names for
functions that adminpack used to include and which are now included in
the backend, in adminpack v1.1. Applications using the deprecated names
should be updated to use the backend functions instead. Existing

Vacuum of index consists from two stages: multiple (zero of more) ambulkdelete
calls and one amvacuumcleanup call. When workload on particular table
is append-only, then autovacuum isn't intended to touch this table. However,
user may run vacuum manually in order to fill visibility map and get benefits
of index-only scans. Then ambulkdelete wouldn't be called for indexes
of such table (because no heap tuples were deleted), only amvacuumcleanup would
be called In this case, amvacuumcleanup would perform full index scan for
two objectives: put recyclable pages into free space map and update index
statistics.
This patch allows btvacuumclanup to skip full index scan when two conditions
are satisfied: no pages are going to be put into free space map and index
statistics isn't stalled. In order to check first condition, we store
oldest btpo_xact in the meta-page. When it's precedes RecentGlobalXmin, then
there are some recyclable pages. In order to check second condition we store
number of heap tuples observed during previous full index scan by cleanup.
If fraction of newly inserted tuples is less than
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor, then statistics isn't considered to be
stalled. vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor can be defined as both reloption and GUC (default).
This patch bumps B-tree meta-page version. Upgrade of meta-page is performed
"on the fly": during VACUUM meta-page is rewritten with new version. No special

Testing SvTYPE() directly is more fraught with problems than one might
think, because depending on context Perl might be storing a scalar value
in one of several forms, eg both numeric and string values. This resulted
in Perl-version-dependent buildfarm test failures. Instead use the SvTYPE
test only to distinguish non-scalar cases (AV, HV, NULL). Disambiguate
scalars by testing SvIOK, SvNOK, then SvPOK. This creates a preference
order for how we will resolve cases where the value is available in more
than one form, which seems fine to me.
Furthermore, because we're now dealing directly with a "double" value
in the SvNOK case, we can get rid of an inadequate and unportable
string-comparison test for infinities, and use isinf() instead.
(We do need some additional #include and "-lm" infrastructure to use
that in a contrib module, per prior experiences.)
In passing, prevent the regression test results from depending on DROP
CASCADE order; I've not seen that malfunction, but it's trouble waiting
to happen.

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table
using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL
statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows
a task that would other require multiple PL statements.
e.g.
MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
DO NOTHING;
MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including
column and row security enforcement, as well as support for
row, statement and transition triggers.
MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though
also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended
to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands
for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead.
MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules,
RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables.
MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.
Includes full tests and documentation, including full

Python code like float('inf') was not guaranteed to work before that,
even granting an IEEE-compliant platform.
Since there's no explicit handling of these cases in jsonb_plpython,
we're not adding any real code coverage by testing them, and thus

Add a new, optional, capability to bt_index_check() and
bt_index_parent_check(): check that each heap tuple that should have an
index entry does in fact have one. The extra checking is performed at
the end of the existing nbtree checks.
This is implemented by using a Bloom filter data structure. The
implementation performs set membership tests within a callback (the same
type of callback that each index AM registers for CREATE INDEX). The
Bloom filter is populated during the initial index verification scan.
Reusing the CREATE INDEX infrastructure allows the new verification
option to automatically benefit from the heap consistency checks that
CREATE INDEX already performs. CREATE INDEX does thorough sanity
checking of HOT chains, so the new check actually manages to detect
problems in heap-only tuples.

If the toplevel scan/join target list is parallel-safe, postpone
generating Gather (or Gather Merge) paths until after the toplevel has
been adjusted to return it. This (correctly) makes queries with
expensive functions in the target list more likely to choose a
parallel plan, since the cost of the plan now reflects the fact that
the evaluation will happen in the workers rather than the leader.
The original complaint about this problem was from Jeff Janes.
If the toplevel scan/join relation is partitioned, recursively apply
the changes to all partitions. This sometimes allows us to get rid of
Result nodes, because Append is not projection-capable but its
children may be. It also cleans up what appears to be incorrect SRF
handling from commit e2f1eb0ee30d144628ab523432320f174a2c8966: the old
code had no knowledge of SRFs for child scan/join rels.
Because we now use create_projection_path() in some cases where we
formerly used apply_projection_to_path(), this changes the ordering
of columns in some queries generated by postgres_fdw. Update
regression outputs accordingly.

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.

that it's the same as the number of tuples in the heap. (It might be
different if the index is partial.)
Fix counting of tuples in current index page, too. This error would
have led to failing to write out the final page of the index if it

Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as

so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that

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.

This allows to deduplicate some existing code, but mainly avoids some
duplication in upcoming commits.
In passing, fix variable names indicating wrong unit (seconds instead
of ms).
