      Suppress -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning in new LIMIT WITH TIES code. · 35cb574a
      Tom Lane authored
      The placement of the fall-through comment in this code appears not to
      work to suppress the warning in recent gcc.  Move it to the bottom of
      the case group, and add an assertion that we didn't get there through
      some other code path.  Also improve wording of nearby comments.

      Optimize RelationFindReplTupleSeq() for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. · 328c7099
      Noah Misch authored
      Specifically, remember lookup_type_cache() results instead of retrieving
      them once per comparison.  Under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, this reduced
      src/test/subscription/t/001_rep_changes.pl elapsed time by an order of
      magnitude, which reduced check-world elapsed time by 9%.

      When WalSndCaughtUp, sleep only in WalSndWaitForWal(). · 42168581
      Noah Misch authored
      Before sleeping, WalSndWaitForWal() sends a keepalive if MyWalSnd->write
      < sentPtr.  That is important in logical replication.  When the latest
      physical LSN yields no logical replication messages (a common case),
      that keepalive elicits a reply, and processing the reply updates
      pg_stat_replication.replay_lsn.  WalSndLoop() lacks that; when
      WalSndLoop() slept, replay_lsn advancement could stall until
      wal_receiver_status_interval elapsed.  This sometimes stalled
      src/test/subscription/t/001_rep_changes.pl for up to 10s.

      Make EXPLAIN report maximum hashtable usage across multiple rescans. · 969f9d0b
      Tom Lane authored
      Before discarding the old hash table in ExecReScanHashJoin, capture
      its statistics, ensuring that we report the maximum hashtable size
      across repeated rescans of the hash input relation.  We can repurpose
      the existing code for reporting hashtable size in parallel workers
      to help with this, making the patch pretty small.  This also ensures
      that if rescans happen within parallel workers, we get the correct
      maximums across all instances.

      Clear dangling pointer to avoid bogus EXPLAIN printout in a corner case. · 5c27bce7
      Tom Lane authored
      ExecReScanHashJoin will destroy the join's hash table if it expects
      that the inner relation will produce different rows on rescan.
      Up to now it's not bothered to clear the additional pointer to that
      hash table that exists in the child HashState node.  However, it's
      possible for the query to terminate without building a fresh hash
      table (this happens if the outer relation is found to be empty
      during the final rescan).  So we can end with a dangling pointer
      to a deleted hash table.  That was harmless originally, but since
      9.0 EXPLAIN ANALYZE has used that pointer to print hash table
      statistics.  In debug builds this reproducibly results in garbage
      statistics.  In non-debug builds there's frequently no ill effects,
      but in principle one could get wrong EXPLAIN ANALYZE output, or
      perhaps even a crash if free() has released the hashtable memory
      back to the OS.
      
      To fix, just make sure we clear the additional pointer when destroying
      the hash table.  In problematic cases, EXPLAIN ANALYZE will then print
      no hashtable statistics (reverting to its pre-9.0 behavior).  This isn't
      ideal, but since the problem manifests only in unusual corner cases,
      it's hard to justify taking any risks to do better in the back
      branches.  A follow-on patch will improve matters in HEAD.

      Add a DEBUG1 message indicating that verification of the index structure
      is underway.  Also reduce the severity level of the existing "tree

      Any B-Tree index with more than a couple of levels will generally also
      have so many pages that the per-page DEBUG2 messages will become
      completely unmanageable.

      Further stabilize results of 019_replslot_limit.pl. · e083fa34
      Tom Lane authored
      Depending on specific values of restart_lsn or pg_current_wal_lsn()
      is obviously unsafe.  The previous coding tried to dodge this issue
      by rounding off, but that's not good enough, as shown by multiple
      buildfarm members.  Nuke all the uses of these values except for
      null-ness checks, pending some credible argument why we should think
      something else could be usefully stable.

      Further cleanup of ts_headline code. · 2e0e409e
      Tom Lane authored
      Suppress a probably-meaningless uninitialized-variable warning
      (induced by my previous patch, I'm sorry to say).
      
      Improve mark_hl_fragments()'s test for overlapping cover strings:
      it failed to consider the possibility that the current string is
      strictly within another one.  That's unlikely given the preceding
      splitting into MaxWords fragments, but I don't think it's impossible.

      Fix default text search parser's ts_headline code for phrase queries. · c9b0c678
      Tom Lane authored
      This code could produce very poor results when asked to highlight a
      string based on a query using phrase-match operators.  The root cause
      is that hlCover(), which is supposed to find a minimal substring that
      matches the query, was written assuming that word position is not
      significant.  I'm only 95% convinced that its algorithm was correct even
      for plain AND/OR queries; but it definitely fails completely for phrase
      matches, causing it to possibly not identify a cover string at all.
      
      Hence, rewrite hlCover() with a less-tense algorithm that just tries
      all the possible substrings, earlier and shorter ones first.  (This is
      not as bad as it sounds performance-wise, because all of the string
      matching has been done already: the repeated tsquery match checks
      boil down to pointer comparisons.)
      
      Unfortunately, since that approach produces more candidate cover
      strings than before, it also exposes that there were bugs in the
      heuristics in mark_hl_words() for selecting a best cover string.
      Fixes there include:
      * Do not apply the ShortWord filter to words that appear in the query.
      * Remove a misguided optimization for quickly rejecting a cover.
      * Fix order-of-operation bug that could cause computation of a
      wrong figure of merit (poslen) when shortening a cover.
      * Change the preference rule so that candidate headlines that do not
      include their whole cover string (after MaxWords trimming) are lowest
      priority, since they may not actually satisfy the user's query.
      
      This results in some changes in existing regression test cases,
      but they all seem reasonable.  Note in particular that the tests
      involving strings like "1 2 3" were previously being affected by
      the ShortWord filter, masking the normal matching behavior.
      
      Per bug #16345 from Augustinas Jokubauskas; the new test cases are
      based on that example.  Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase search was
      added to tsquery.

      Cosmetic improvements for default text search parser's ts_headline code. · b10f8bb9
      Tom Lane authored
      This code was woefully unreadable and under-commented.  Try to improve
      matters by adding comments, using some macros to make complicated
      if-tests more readable, using boolean type where appropriate, etc.
      There are a couple of tiny coding improvements too, but this commit
      includes (I hope) no behavioral change.
      
      Nonetheless, back-patch as far as 9.6, because a followup bug-fixing
      commit depends on this.

      Fix CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED column order issue · e92e4a2b
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING GENERATED would fail if a generated column
      referred to a column with a higher attribute number.  This is because
      the column mapping mechanism created the mapping incrementally as
      columns are added.  This was sufficient for previous uses of that
      mechanism (omitting dropped columns), and it also happened to work if
      generated columns only referred to columns with lower attribute
      numbers, but here it failed.
      
      This fix is to build the attribute mapping in a separate loop before
      processing the columns in detail.

      If there is already a backup_manifest file in the database cluster,

      buffer usage stats and leader backend to accumulate that stats at the
      end of the operation.  This will allow pg_stat_statements to display
