correctly set. As result, killtuple() marks as dead
wrong tuple on page. Bug was introduced by me while fixing
possible duplicates during GiST index scan.
at once and ItemPointers are collected in memory.
Remove tuple's killing by killtuple() if tuple was moved to another
page - it could produce unaceptable overhead.
Backpatch up to 8.1 because the bug was introduced by GiST's concurrency support.
- full concurrency for insert/update/select/vacuum:
- select and vacuum never locks more than one page simultaneously
- select (gettuple) hasn't any lock across it's calls
- insert never locks more than two page simultaneously:
- during search of leaf to insert it locks only one page
simultaneously
- while walk upward to the root it locked only parent (may be
non-direct parent) and child. One of them X-lock, another may
be S- or X-lock
- 'vacuum full' locks index
- improve gistgetmulti
- simplify XLOG records
Fix bug in index_beginscan_internal: LockRelation may clean
rd_aminfo structure, so move GET_REL_PROCEDURE after LockRelation
2. improve vacuum for gist
- use FSM
- full vacuum:
- reforms parent tuple if it's needed
( tuples was deleted on child page or parent tuple remains invalid
after crash recovery )
- truncate index file if possible
3. fixes bugs and mistakes
external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST
API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the
public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into
gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should
be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions.
Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes
from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(),
and GISTNStrategies.
