Previously, when selecting the transaction to evict during logical decoding, we check all transactions to find the largest transaction. This could lead to a significant replication lag especially in the case where there are many subtransactions. This commit improves the eviction algorithm in ReorderBuffer using the max-heap with transaction size as the key to efficiently find the largest transaction. The max-heap starts with empty. While the max-heap is empty, we don't do anything for the max-heap when updating the memory counter. Therefore, we get the largest transaction in O(N) time, where N is the number of transactions including top-level transactions and subtransactions. We build the max-heap just before selecting the largest transactions if the number of transactions being decoded is higher than the threshold, MAX_HEAP_TXN_COUNT_THRESHOLD. After building the max-heap, we also update the max-heap when updating the memory counter. The intention is to efficiently find the largest transaction in O(1) time instead of incurring the cost of memory counter updates (O(log N)). Once the number of transactions got lower than the threshold, we reset the max-heap. The performance benchmark results showed significant speed up (more than x30 speed up on my machine) in decoding a transaction with 100k subtransactions, whereas there is no visible overhead in other cases.

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.
