I'm not sure if anything bad happen if parent and children are not
agree on statistics.
The requirement suggested here seems to be:
- We want to update parent's stats when any of its children gets its
stats updated. This is curucial especially for time-series
partitioning.
- However, we don't want analyze the whole-tree every time any of the
children was analyzed.
To achieve the both, stats-merging seems to the optimal solution.
Putting that aside, I had a brief look on the latest patch.
/* We only count stats for things that have storage */
- if (!RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE(relkind))
+ if (!RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE(relkind) ||
+ relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE)
{
rel->pgstat_info = NULL;
RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE(RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE) is already false.
Maybe you wanted to do "&& relkind !=" instead:p
+ /*
+ * If this relation is partitioned, we store all ancestors' oid
+ * to propagate its changed_tuples to their parents when this
+ * transaction is committed.
+ */
+ if (rel->rd_rel->relispartition && pgstat_info->ancestors == NULL)
If the relation was detached then attached to another partition within
a transaction, the ancestor list would get stale and the succeeding
modification to the relation propagates into wrong ancestors.
I think vacuum time is more appropriate to modify ancestors stats. It
seems to me that what Alvalo pointed isthe list-order-susceptible
manner of collecting children's modified tuples.
+ ? 0 /* partitioned tables don't have any data, so it's 0 */
If the comment is true, we shouldn't have non-zero t_changed_tuples,
too. I think the reason for the lines is something different.
