Hello,
I'm not sure this is in a sutable shape for commit fest but I
decided to register this to ride on the bus for 10.0.
> Hi, this is the 7th patch to make instrumentation work.
This a PoC patch of asynchronous execution feature, based on a
executor infrastructure Robert proposed. These patches are
rebased on the current master.
0001-robert-s-2nd-framework.patch
Roberts executor async infrastructure. Async-driver nodesregister its async-capable children and sync and data
transferaredone out of band of ordinary ExecProcNode channel. So asyncexecution no longer disturbs async-unaware node
andslows themdown.
0002-Fix-some-bugs.patch
Some fixes for 0001 to work. This is just to preserve the shapeof 0001 patch.
0003-Modify-async-execution-infrastructure.patch
The original infrastructure doesn't work when multiple foreigntables is on the same connection. This makes it work.
0004-Make-postgres_fdw-async-capable.patch
Makes postgres_fdw to work asynchronously.
0005-Use-resource-owner-to-prevent-wait-event-set-from-le.patch
This addresses a problem pointed by Robers about 0001 patch,that WaitEventSet used for async execution can leak by
errors.
0006-Apply-unlikely-to-suggest-synchronous-route-of-ExecA.patch
ExecAppend gets a bit slower by penalties of misprediction ofbranches. This fixes it by using unlikely() macro.
0007-Add-instrumentation-to-async-execution.patch
As the description above for 0001, async infrastructure conveystuples outside ExecProcNode channel so EXPLAIN ANALYZE
requiresspecialtreat to show sane results. This patch tries that.
A result of a performance measurement is in this message.
