Hi,
I think it'd be good to get the changes that aren't related to
projection merged. As far as I can tell there's performance regressions
both because of the things I'd listed upthread, and due to the
projection issue. That's not obvious because because we first won
performance and then lost it again in several incremental steps.
COPY (SELECT (random() * 4)::int cat, (random()*10000)::int val FROM generate_series(1, 100000000)) TO '/tmp/data' WITH
BINARY;
BEGIN;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS fewgroups_many_rows;
CREATE TABLE fewgroups_many_rows(cat int4 not null, val int4 not null);
COPY fewgroups_many_rows FROM '/tmp/data' WITH (FORMAT BINARY, FREEZE);
COMMIT;
VACUUM FREEZE fewgroups_many_rows;
Test prep:
Test query:
SET seed=0;SELECT cat, count(*) FROM fewgroups_many_rows GROUP BY 1;
(the seed seems to reduce noise due to hashtable iv being the same)
best of six:

There's certainly some noise in here, but I think the trends are valid.

It's not this patch's fault, but none, really none, of this stuff should
be in the executor.
