I appreciate you pointing out my mistake.
Attachment contains full patch set: indexTuple retail deletion, ordering
b-tree tuples by tid (provided by Peter Geoghean) and background cleaner.
In this version of background worker you can show state of the hcleaner
at the 'pg_stat_progress_cleaner' view, like VACUUM.
unlike the previous version, hcleaner check presence a block in memory
before cleanup (see RBM_NORMAL_NO_READ mode at ReadBufferExtended()
call) and do not read blocks from a disk storage (only on shutdown after
SIGTERM signal catch).
For feature demonstration you can use simple test (autovacuum = off):
pgbench -i -s 1 && psql -c $"CREATE INDEX pgbench_accounts_ext ON
public.pgbench_accounts USING btree (abalance);" && pgbench -t <n> -c 20
-j 8 -f test.pgb
where test.pgb is:
-------
\set aid random(1, 100000 * :scale)
\set delta random(-5000, 5000)
UPDATE pgbench_accounts SET abalance = abalance + :delta WHERE aid = :aid;
-------
My workstation shows:
| master | patched |
n |HEAP size | INDEX size | HEAP size | INDEX size |
---------------|-------------------------------------|
2e3 | 13 MB | 2.3 MB | 13 MB | 2.3 MB |
2e4 | 14 MB | 2.7 MB | 13 MB | 2.7 MB |
2e5 | 14 MB | 8.0 MB | 14 MB | 4.8 MB |
2e6 | 61 MB | 58. MB | 14 MB | 6.7 MB |
where HEAP size - size of 'pgbench_accounts' relation; INDEX size - size
of 'pgbench_accounts_ext' index relation.
It is demonstrates a relation 'blowing' problem and influence of
hcleaner in an excessive manner.
Some problem is regression tests modification, because hcleaner makes
physical order of tuples in relations unpredictable.
