Tom Lane 3454876314 Fix hash table size estimation error in choose_hashed_distinct().
We should account for the per-group hashtable entry overhead when
considering whether to use a hash aggregate to implement DISTINCT.  The
comparable logic in choose_hashed_grouping() gets this right, but I think
I omitted it here in the mistaken belief that there would be no overhead
if there were no aggregate functions to be evaluated.  This can result in
more than 2X underestimate of the hash table size, if the tuples being
aggregated aren't very wide.  Per report from Tomas Vondra.

This bug is of long standing, but per discussion we'll only back-patch into
9.3.  Changing the estimation behavior in stable branches seems to carry too
much risk of destabilizing plan choices for already-tuned applications.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
