@@ -8,41 +8,7 @@ free space to hold a tuple to be stored; or to determine that no such page
exists and the relation must be extended by one page. As of PostgreSQL 8.4
each relation has its own, extensible free space map stored in a separate
"fork" of its relation. This eliminates the disadvantages of the former
fixed-size FSM. There are two exceptions:
1. Hash indexes never have a FSM.
2. For very small tables, a 3-page relation fork would be relatively large
and wasteful, so to save space we refrain from creating the FSM if the
heap has HEAP_FSM_CREATION_THRESHOLD pages or fewer.
To locate free space in the latter case, we simply try pages directly without
knowing ahead of time how much free space they have. To maintain good
performance, we create a local in-memory map of pages to try, and only mark
every other page as available. For example, in a 3-page heap, the local map
would look like:
ANAN
0123
Pages 0 and 2 are marked "available", and page 1 as "not available".
Page 3 is beyond the end of the relation, so is likewise marked "not
available". First we try page 2, and if that doesn't have sufficient free
space we try page 0 before giving up and extending the relation. There may
be some wasted free space on block 1, but if the relation extends to 4 pages:
NANA
0123
We not only have the new page 3 at our disposal, we can now check page 1
for free space as well.
Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody deletes
all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is a useful
optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow to the same
size.
FSM data structure
------------------
fixed-size FSM.
It is important to keep the map small so that it can be searched rapidly.
Therefore, we don't attempt to record the exact free space on a page.

----
- fastroot to avoid traversing upper nodes with just 1 child
- use a different system for tables that fit into one FSM page, with a
mechanism to switch to the real thing as it grows.
