Alexander Korotkov 3c5db1d6b0 Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedure
pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed.  This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.

The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top.  During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.

pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held.  Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of
self-deadlock.  This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.

Catversion is bumped.

This directory contains a general purpose data structures, for use anywhere
in the backend:

binaryheap.c - a binary heap

bipartite_match.c - Hopcroft-Karp maximum cardinality algorithm for bipartite graphs

bloomfilter.c - probabilistic, space-efficient set membership testing

dshash.c - concurrent hash tables backed by dynamic shared memory areas

hyperloglog.c - a streaming cardinality estimator

ilist.c - single and double-linked lists

integerset.c - a data structure for holding large set of integers

knapsack.c - knapsack problem solver

pairingheap.c - a pairing heap

rbtree.c - a red-black tree

stringinfo.c - an extensible string type


Aside from the inherent characteristics of the data structures, there are a
few practical differences between the binary heap and the pairing heap. The
binary heap is fully allocated at creation, and cannot be expanded beyond the
allocated size. The pairing heap on the other hand has no inherent maximum
size, but the caller needs to allocate each element being stored in the heap,
while the binary heap works with plain Datums or pointers.

The linked-lists in ilist.c can be embedded directly into other structs, as
opposed to the List interface in nodes/pg_list.h.
