Attached v4 patches with the requested fixes.
Sorry for being late, but the tests took a lot of time.
create table t1 as select i, md5(random()::text) from
generate_series(0,400000000) as i;
create index md5_idx ON t1(md5);
update t1 set md5 = md5((random() * (100 + 500))::text);
vacuum;
Patched vacuum used 2.9Gb of memory and vacuumed the index in one pass,
while for old version it took three passes (1GB+1GB+0.9GB).
Vacuum duration results:
vanilla:
LOG: duration: 4359006.327 ms statement: vacuum verbose t1;
patched:
LOG: duration: 3076827.378 ms statement: vacuum verbose t1;
We can see 30% vacuum speedup. I should note that this case can be
considered
as favorable to vanilla vacuum: the table is not that big, it has just
one index
and disk used is a fast fusionIO. We can expect even more gain on slower
disks.
Thank you again for the patch. Hope to see it in 10.0.
