When some tuple versions in an update chain are frozen due to them being older than freeze_min_age, the xmax/xmin trail can become broken. This breaks HOT (and probably other things). A subsequent VACUUM can break things in more serious ways, such as leaving orphan heap-only tuples whose root HOT redirect items were removed. This can be seen because index creation (or REINDEX) complain like ERROR: XX000: failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (0,7) in table "t" Because of relfrozenxid contraints, we cannot avoid the freezing of the early tuples, so we must cope with the results: whenever we see an Xmin of FrozenTransactionId, consider it a match for whatever the previous Xmax value was. This problem seems to have appeared in 9.3 with multixact changes, though strictly speaking it seems unrelated. Since 9.4 we have commit |

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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
