Rework some of the checks for bad TOAST chunks to be a bit simpler
and easier to understand. These checks verify that (1) we get all
and only the chunk numbers we expect to see and (2) each chunk has
the expected size. However, the existing code was a bit hard to
understand, at least for me; try to make it clearer.
As part of that, have toast_fetch_datum_slice check the relationship
between endchunk and totalchunks only with an Assert() rather than
checking every chunk number against both values. There's no need to
check that relationship in production builds because it's not a
function of whether on-disk corruption is present; it's just a
question of whether the code does the right math.
Also, have toast_fetch_datum_slice() use ereport(ERROR) rather than
elog(ERROR). Commit fd6ec93bf8 made
the two functions inconsistent with each other.
Rename assorted variables for better clarity and consistency, and
move assorted variables from function scope to the function's main
loop. Remove a few variables that are used only once entirely.
Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut.

This Assert thought that an overflowed transaction can never get registered
for the group update. But that is not true, because even when the number
of children for a transaction got reduced, the overflow flag is not
changed. And, for group update, we only care about the current number of
children for a transaction that is being committed.
Based on comments by Andres Freund, remove a redundant Assert in
TransactionIdSetPageStatus as we already had a static Assert for the same
condition a few lines earlier.

The bug was similar to the one that was fixed in commit 22251686f0. When
we split page X and insert the downlink for the new page, the parent page
might also need to be split. When that happens, the downlink offset number
we remembered for X is no longer valid. We correctly called
gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it, but gistFindCorrectParent() doesn't
do anything if the LSN of the page hasn't changed, and we stopped updating
LSNs during index build in commit 9155580fd5. The buggy codepath was taken
if the page was split into three or more pages, and inserting the downlink
caused the parent page to split. To fix, explicitly mark the downlink
offset number as invalid, to force gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it.

Error messages referring to incorrect WAL segment names could have been
generated for a fsync() failure or when creating a new segment at the
end of recovery.
XLogFileNameP() is a wrapper routine able to build a palloc'd string for
a WAL segment name, which is used for error string generation. There
were several code paths where it gets called in a critical section,
where memory allocation is not allowed. This results in triggering
an assertion failure instead of generating the wanted error message.
Another, more annoying, problem is that if the allocation to generate
the WAL segment name fails on OOM, then the failure would be escalated
to a PANIC.
This removes the routine and all its callers are replaced with a logic
using a fixed-size buffer. This way, all the existing mistakes are
fixed and future ones are prevented.

XLogReader, walsender and pg_waldump all had their own routines to read
data from WAL files to memory, with slightly different approaches
according to the particular conditions of each environment. There's a
lot of commonality, so we can refactor that into a single routine
WALRead in XLogReader, and move the differences to a separate (simpler)
callback that just opens the next WAL-segment. This results in a
clearer (ahem) code flow.
The error reporting needs are covered by filling in a new error-info
struct, WALReadError, and it's the caller's responsibility to act on it.
The backend has WALReadRaiseError() to do so.
We no longer ever need to seek in this interface; switch to using

This reworks the reloption parsing and build of a couple of index AMs by

already done for BRIN, GIN and GiST (which actually has a fillfactor
parameter), but not for hash, B-tree and SPGiST which relied on
StdRdOptions due to an overlap with the default option set.
This saves a couple of bytes for rd_options in each relcache entry with

between all index AMs. While on it, add a couple of AssertMacro() calls
to make sure that utility macros to grab values of reloptions are used

If LISTEN is the only action in a serializable-mode transaction,
and the session was not previously listening, and the notify queue
is not empty, predicate.c reported an assertion failure. That
happened because we'd acquire the transaction's initial snapshot
during PreCommit_Notify, which was called *after* predicate.c
expects any such snapshot to have been established.
To fix, just swap the order of the PreCommit_Notify and
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure calls during CommitTransaction.
This will imply holding the notify-insertion lock slightly longer,
but the difference could only be meaningful in serializable mode,
which is an expensive option anyway.
It appears that this is just an assertion failure, with no
consequences in non-assert builds. A snapshot used only to scan
the notify queue could not have been involved in any serialization
conflicts, so there would be nothing for
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure to do except assign it a
prepareSeqNo and set the SXACT_FLAG_PREPARED flag. And given no
conflicts, neither of those omissions affect the behavior of
ReleasePredicateLocks. This admittedly once-over-lightly analysis
is backed up by the lack of field reports of trouble.

Previously DROP DATABASE generated as many XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL records
as the number of tablespaces that the database to drop uses. This caused
the scans of shared_buffers as many times as the number of the tablespaces
during recovery because WAL replay of one XLOG_DBASE_DROP record needs
that full scan. This could make the recovery time longer especially
when shared_buffers is large.
This commit changes DROP DATABASE so that it generates only one
XLOG_DBASE_DROP record, and registers the information of all the tablespaces

nbtree index builds once stashed the "minimum key" for a page, which was
used as the basis of the pivot tuple that gets placed in the next level
up (i.e. the tuple that stores the downlink to the page in question).
It doesn't quite work that way anymore, so the "minimum key" terminology
now seems misleading (these days the minimum key is actually a straight
copy of the high key from the left sibling, which is a distinct thing in
subtle but important ways). Rename this concept to "low key". This
name is a lot clearer given that there is now a sharp distinction
between pivot and non-pivot tuples. Also remove comments that describe
obsolete details about how the minimum key concept used to work.
Rather than generating the minus infinity item for the leftmost page on
a level by copying the new item and truncating that copy, simply
allocate a small buffer. The old approach confusingly created the
impression that the new item had some kind of significance. This was
another artifact of how things used to work before commits 8224de4f and
dd299df8.

XLogFindNextRecord() that pg_waldump -s calls mistakenly handled

As the code stands, nEntries counts the number of ginEntryInsert()
calls, so that's what you end up with at the end of a GIN index build.
However, ginvacuumcleanup() recomputes nEntries as the number of
surviving leaf tuples, and that's generally consistent with the way that
gincostestimate() uses the value. So let's clearly define nEntries
as the number of leaf tuples, and therefore adjust ginEntryInsert() to
increment it only when we make a new one, not when we add TIDs into an
existing tuple or posting tree.
In practice this inconsistency probably has little impact, so I don't

recovery_min_apply_delay parameter is intended for use with streaming

with recovery_min_apply_delay enabled always failed, and caused assertion

which caused the failure.

Commit 4d0e994eed added support for partial TOAST decompression, so the
decompression is interrupted after producing the requested prefix. For

That however only deals with decompression - the whole compressed entry
was still fetched and re-assembled, even though the compression used
only a small fraction of it. This commit improves that by computing how
much compressed data may be needed to decompress the requested prefix,
and then fetches only the necessary part.
We always need to fetch a bit more compressed data than the requested
(uncompressed) prefix, because the prefix may not be compressible at all
and pglz itself adds a bit of overhead. That means this optimization is
most effective when the requested prefix is much smaller than the whole
