Generally, this patch looks like a pretty straightforward adaptation
of the similar btree mechanism to hash indexes, so if it works for
btree it ought to work here, too. But I noticed a few things while
reading through it.
+ /* Get RelfileNode from relation OID */
+ rel = relation_open(htup->t_tableOid, NoLock);
+ rnode = rel->rd_node;
+ relation_close(rel, NoLock);
itup->t_tid = htup->t_self;
- _hash_doinsert(index, itup);
+ _hash_doinsert(index, itup, rnode);
This is an awfully low-level place to be doing something like this.
I'm not sure exactly where this should be happening, but not in the
per-tuple callback.
+ /*
+ * If there's nothing running on the standby we don't need to derive a
+ * full latestRemovedXid value, so use a fast path out of here. This
+ * returns InvalidTransactionId, and so will conflict with all HS
+ * transactions; but since we just worked out that that's zero people,
+ * it's OK.
+ */
+ if (CountDBBackends(InvalidOid) == 0)
+ return latestRemovedXid;
I see that this comment (and most of what surrounds it) was just
copied from the existing btree example, but isn't there a discrepancy
between the comment and the code? It says it returns
InvalidTransactionId, but it doesn't. Also, you dropped the XXX from
the btree original, and the following reachedConsistency check.
+ * Hash Index delete records can conflict with standby queries.You might
+ * think that vacuum records would conflict as well, but we've handled
But they're not called delete records in a hash index. The function
is called hash_xlog_vacuum_one_page. The corresponding btree function
is btree_xlog_delete. So this comment needs a little more updating.
+ if (IsBufferCleanupOK(bucket_buf))
+ {
+ _hash_vacuum_one_page(rel, metabuf, buf, bucket_buf,
+ (buf == bucket_buf) ? true : false,
+ hnode);
+ if (bucket_buf != buf)
+ LockBuffer(bucket_buf, BUFFER_LOCK_UNLOCK);
+
+ if (PageGetFreeSpace(page) >= itemsz)
+ break; /* OK, now we have enough space */
+ }
I might be missing something, but I don't quite see why this needs a
cleanup lock on the primary bucket page. I would think a cleanup lock
on the page we're actually modifying would suffice, and I think if
that's correct it would be a better way to go. If that's not correct,
then I think the comments needs some work.
