Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a
consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain
fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb5
.
The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to
not agree with the actual index size on-disk.
Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent
compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where
the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency,
this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported
page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to
see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to
a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be
exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts.
Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in
pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't
resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.)
Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for
an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple
regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration
independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests.
The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent
root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for
a long time.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure' script in the top-level directory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. In these cases, after you have installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file. For example, $ psql -d dbname -f module.sql See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
