I think you've discovered a planner regression.
Simplified test case using the regression database:
explain select * from tenk1 a, tenk1 b
where (a.ten = b.ten and (a.unique1 = 100 or a.unique1 = 101))
or (a.hundred = b.hundred and a.unique1 = 42);
7.4:
Nested Loop (cost=0.00..2219.74 rows=4 width=488)
Join Filter: ((("outer".hundred = "inner".hundred) OR ("outer".ten = "inner".ten)) AND (("outer".unique1 = 42) OR
("outer".ten= "inner".ten)) AND (("outer".hundred = "inner".hundred) OR ("outer".unique1 = 100) OR ("outer".unique1 =
101)))
-> Index Scan using tenk1_unique1, tenk1_unique1, tenk1_unique1 on tenk1 a (cost=0.00..18.04 rows=3 width=244)
Index Cond: ((unique1 = 42) OR (unique1 = 100) OR (unique1 = 101))
-> Seq Scan on tenk1 b (cost=0.00..458.24 rows=10024 width=244)
(5 rows)
8.0:
Nested Loop (cost=810.00..6671268.00 rows=2103 width=488)
Join Filter: ((("outer".ten = "inner".ten) AND (("outer".unique1 = 100) OR ("outer".unique1 = 101))) OR
(("outer".hundred= "inner".hundred) AND ("outer".unique1 = 42)))
-> Seq Scan on tenk1 a (cost=0.00..458.00 rows=10000 width=244)
-> Materialize (cost=810.00..1252.00 rows=10000 width=244)
-> Seq Scan on tenk1 b (cost=0.00..458.00 rows=10000 width=244)
(5 rows)
Note the failure to pull out the unique1 conditions from the join clause
and use them with the index. I didn't bother to do EXPLAIN ANALYZE;
this plan obviously sucks compared to the other.
8.1:
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(!restriction_is_or_clause((RestrictInfo *) orarg))", File: "indxpath.c", Line: 479)
LOG: server process (PID 12201) was terminated by signal 6
server closed the connection unexpectedly
Oh dear.
