This ought to work much like C's "#elif defined(name)"; but the code
implemented it in a way equivalent to endif followed by ifdef, so that
it didn't matter whether any previous branch of the IF construct had
succeeded.  Fix that; add some test cases covering elif and nested IFs;
and improve the documentation, which also seemed a bit confused.

AFAICS the code has been like this since the feature was added in 1999

out there relying on the current behavior.  Hence, don't back-patch

We have edge-case bugs when assigning values in the last few dozen pages
before the wrap limit.  We may introduce similar bugs in the future.  At
default BLCKSZ, this makes such bugs unreachable outside of single-user

change to compensate.

pg_upgrade may fail on a cluster that was already printing "must be

This allows AM-specific knowledge to be applied during creation of
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  Specifically, the AM knows better than
core code which entries to consider as required or optional.  Giving
the latter entries the appropriate sort of dependency allows them to
be dropped without taking out the whole opclass or opfamily; which
is something we'd like to have to correct obsolescent entries in
extensions.

This callback also opens the door to performing AM-specific validity
checks during opclass creation, rather than hoping than an opclass
developer will remember to test with "amvalidate".  For the most part
I've not actually added any such checks yet; that can happen in a
follow-on patch.  (Note that we shouldn't remove any tests from
"amvalidate", as those are still needed to cross-check manually
constructed entries in the initdb data.  So adding tests to
"amadjustmembers" will be somewhat duplicative, but it seems like
a good idea anyway.)

Commit eba77534 fixed an amcheck false positive bug involving
inconsistencies in TOAST input state between table and index.  A test
case was added that verified that such an inconsistency didn't result in
a spurious corruption related error.

Test coverage from the test was accidentally lost by commit 501e41dd,
which propagated ALTER TABLE ...  SET STORAGE attstorage state to
indexes.  This broke the test because the test specifically relied on
attstorage not being propagated.  This artificially forced there to be
index tuples whose datums were equivalent to the datums in the heap
without the datums actually being bitwise equal.

Fix this by updating pg_attribute directly instead.  Commit 501e41dd
made similar changes to a test_decoding TOAST-related test case which
made the same assumption, but overlooked the amcheck test case.

Backpatch: 11-, just like commit eba77534 (and commit 501e41dd).

If a base type supports typmods, its array type does too, with the
same interpretation.  Hence changes in pg_type.typmodin/typmodout
must be propagated to the array type.

there is nothing we'd need to change.

Oversight in fe30e7eb.  Back-patch to v13 where that came in.

The new hlCover() algorithm that I introduced in commit c9b0c678
turns out to potentially take O(N^2) or worse time on long documents,
if there are many occurrences of individual query words but few or no
substrings that actually satisfy the query.  (One way to hit this
behavior is with a "common_word & rare_word" type of query.)  This
seems unavoidable given the original goal of checking every substring
of the document, so we have to back off that idea.  Fortunately, it
seems unlikely that anyone would really want headlines spanning all of
a long document, so we can avoid the worse-than-linear behavior by
imposing a maximum length of substring that we'll consider.

For now, just hard-wire that maximum length as a multiple of max_words
times max_fragments.  Perhaps at some point somebody will argue for
exposing it as a ts_headline parameter, but I'm hesitant to make such
a feature addition in a back-patched bug fix.

I also noted that the hlFirstIndex() function I'd added in that
commit was unnecessarily stupid: it really only needs to check whether
a HeadlineWordEntry's item pointer is null or not.  This wouldn't make
all that much difference in typical cases with queries having just
a few terms, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned.

In addition, add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse.
This ensures that hlCover's loop is cancellable if it manages to take
a long time, and it may protect some other TS_execute callers as well.

Back-patch to 9.6 as the previous commit was.  I also chose to add the
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call to 9.5.  The old hlCover() algorithm seems
to avoid the O(N^2) behavior, at least on the test case I tried, but
nonetheless it's not very quick on a long document.

For pg_attribute, this allows to insert at once a full set of attributes
for a relation (roughly 15% of WAL reduction in extreme cases).  For
pg_shdepend, this reduces the work done when creating new shared
dependencies from a database template.  The number of slots used for the
insertion is capped at 64kB of data inserted for both, depending on the
number of items to insert and the length of the rows involved.

More can be done for other catalogs, like pg_depend.  This part requires
a different approach as the number of slots to use depends also on the
number of entries discarded as pinned dependencies.  This is also
related to the rework or dependency handling for ALTER TABLE and CREATE
TABLE, mainly.

Add a GUC that acts as a multiplier on work_mem.  It gets applied when
sizing executor node hash tables that were previously size constrained
using work_mem alone.

The new GUC can be used to preferentially give hash-based nodes more
memory than the generic work_mem limit.  It is intended to enable admin
tuning of the executor's memory usage.  Overall system throughput and
system responsiveness can be improved by giving hash-based executor
nodes more memory (especially over sort-based alternatives, which are
often much less sensitive to being memory constrained).

The default value for hash_mem_multiplier is 1.0, which is also the
minimum valid value.  This means that hash-based nodes continue to apply
work_mem in the traditional way by default.

hash_mem_multiplier is generally useful.  However, it is being added now
due to concerns about hash aggregate performance stability for users
that upgrade to Postgres 13 (which added disk-based hash aggregation in
commit 1f39bce0).  While the old hash aggregate behavior risked
out-of-memory errors, it is nevertheless likely that many users actually
benefited.  Hash agg's previous indifference to work_mem during query
execution was not just faster; it also accidentally made aggregation
resilient to grouping estimate problems (at least in cases where this
didn't create destabilizing memory pressure).

hash_mem_multiplier can provide a certain kind of continuity with the
behavior of Postgres 12 hash aggregates in cases where the planner
incorrectly estimates that all groups (plus related allocations) will
fit in work_mem/hash_mem.  This seems necessary because hash-based
aggregation is usually much slower when only a small fraction of all
groups can fit.  Even when it isn't possible to totally avoid hash
aggregates that spill, giving hash aggregation more memory will reliably
improve performance (the same cannot be said for external sort
operations, which appear to be almost unaffected by memory availability
provided it's at least possible to get a single merge pass).

The PostgreSQL 13 release notes should advise users that increasing
hash_mem_multiplier can help with performance regressions associated
with hash aggregation.  That can be taken care of by a later commit.

Use HyperLogLog to estimate the group cardinality in a spilled
partition. This estimate is used to choose the number of partitions if
we recurse.

The previous behavior was to use the number of tuples in a spilled
partition as the estimate for the number of groups, which lead to
overpartitioning. That could cause the number of batches to be much
higher than expected (with each batch being very small), which made it
harder to interpret EXPLAIN ANALYZE results.

Backpatch: 13-, where disk-based hash aggregation was introduced.

The planner is in fact willing to use hash aggregation when work_mem is
not set high enough for everything to fit in memory.  This has been the
case since commit 1f39bce0, which added disk-based hash aggregation.

There are a few remaining cases in which hash aggregation is avoided as
a matter of policy when the planner surmises that spilling will be
necessary.  For example, callers of choose_hashed_setop() still
conservatively avoid hash aggregation when spilling is anticipated.
That doesn't seem like a good enough reason to mention hash aggregation

There were various unnecessary differences between Hash Agg's EXPLAIN

that it's better aligned to Hash Join's.

The following changes have been made:
1. Start batches counter at 1 instead of 0.
2. Always display the "Batches" property, even when we didn't spill to
   disk.
3. Use the text "Batches" instead of "HashAgg Batches" for text format.
4. Use the text "Memory Usage" instead of "Peak Memory Usage" for text
   format.
5. Include "Batches" before "Memory Usage" in both text and non-text
   formats.

In passing also modify the "Planned Partitions" property so that we show
it regardless of if the value is 0 or not for non-text EXPLAIN formats.
