Bug reference:      14843
Logged by:           Ben

PostgreSQL version: 10rc1
Operating system:   Linux Mint 18.2
Description:        

(first bug report here so please let me know if this can be improved)

Congrats on the new release!

I just installed v10 and am trying to re-run an ETL I had scripted. I'm
unable to run a CREATE TABLE command that works fine in 9.6 (it took 83
seconds). When I try to run it in v10 it quickly maxes out my RAM usage and
then swallows up all my virtual memory before finally  crashing
PostgreSQL.

The command takes a table with one jsonb document and creates a new table
with 3 rows: one jsonb, one text, and one timestamp. The initial table has
2.6M rows, the new table should have 4.9M rows (because of a
jsonb_array_elements() expansion). The actual query is below:

CREATE TABLE new_table as (
SELECT
    jsonb_array_elements(doc->'text'->0->'hasauthor') doc,
    doc->'text'->0->'$'->>'id' rid,
    regexp_replace(doc->>'mtime','[TZ]',' ')::timestamp mtime
FROM source_table
WHERE (doc#>'{"text",0,"hasauthor"}') IS NOT NULL)

The 2.6M jsonb documents in the source table are structured similar to
this:
