In a bug report back in November [1] a subthread explored why parallel
query is excluded any time we have "Plan nodes which reference a
correlated SubPlan". Amit's understanding was that the reasoning had
to do with inability to easily pass (potentially variable length)
Param values between workers.

However a decent-sized subset of this kind of query doesn't actually
require that we communicate between workers. If the Subplan executes
per-tuple within the worker then there's no reason I can see why it
needs to be marked parallel unsafe. Amit concurred but noted that
identifying that subset of plans is the difficult part (as is usually
the case!)

At the time I'd started work on an approach to handle this case and
hoped to "post about it in a new thread later this week." That didn't
happen, but here we are now, and I finally have this patch cleaned up
enough to share.

The basic idea is that we need to track (both on nodes and relations)
not only whether that node or rel is parallel safe but also whether
it's parallel safe assuming params are rechecked in the using context.
That allows us to delay making a final decision until we have
sufficient context to conclude that a given usage of a Param is
actually parallel safe or unsafe.

The first patch in this series was previously posted in the thread
"Consider parallel for lateral subqueries with limit" [2] and is
required as a precursor for various test cases to work here.

The second patch implements the core of the series. It results in
parallel query being possible for subplans that execute entirely
within the context of a parallel worker for cases where that subplan
is in the target, a LATERAL JOIN, or the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses.

The final patch notes several places where we set e.g.
rel->consider_parallel but setting the corresponding new value
rel->consider_parallel_recheckng_params wasn't yet necessary. It shows
opportunity either for further improvement or concluding certain cases
can't benefit and should be left unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] Parallel query support for basic correlated subqueries

Not all Params are inherently parallel-unsafe, but we can't know whether
they're parallel-safe up-front: we need contextual information for a
given path shape. Here we delay the final determination of whether or
not a Param is parallel-safe by initially verifying that it is minimally
parallel-safe for things that are inherent (e.g., no parallel-unsafe
functions or relations involved) and later re-checking that a given
usage is contextually safe (e.g., the Param is for correlation that can
happen entirely within a parallel worker (as opposed to needing to pass
values between workers).

Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] Allow parallel LATERAL subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET

The code that determined whether or not a rel should be considered for
parallel query excluded subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET. That's correct in
the general case: as the comment notes that'd mean we have to guarantee
ordering (and claims it's not worth checking that) for results to be
consistent across workers. However there's a simpler case that hasn't
been considered: LATERAL subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET don't fall under
the same reasoning since they're executed (when not converted to a JOIN)
per tuple anyway, so consistency of results across workers isn't a
factor.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] Parallel query support for basic correlated subqueries

Not all Params are inherently parallel-unsafe, but we can't know whether
they're parallel-safe up-front: we need contextual information for a
given path shape. Here we delay the final determination of whether or
not a Param is parallel-safe by initially verifying that it is minimally
parallel-safe for things that are inherent (e.g., no parallel-unsafe
functions or relations involved) and later re-checking that a given
usage is contextually safe (e.g., the Param is for correlation that can
happen entirely within a parallel worker (as opposed to needing to pass
values between workers).

Hi,
For v2-0002-Parallel-query-support-for-basic-correlated-subqu.patch :

+    * is when we're going to execute multiple partial parths in parallel

parths -> paths

        if (index->amcanparallel &&
-           rel->consider_parallel && outer_relids == NULL &&
-           scantype != ST_BITMAPSCAN)
+               rel->consider_parallel && outer_relids == NULL &&
+               scantype != ST_BITMAPSCAN)

the change above seems unnecessary since the first line of if condition
doesn't change.
Similar comment for the next hunk.

+            * It's not a partial path; it'a a full path that is executed
as a subquery.

it'a a -> it's a

+           /* rel->consider_parallel_rechecking_params = false; */
+           /* rel->partial_pathlist = NIL; */

The commented code can be taken out.

Cheers

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] Allow parallel LATERAL subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET

The code that determined whether or not a rel should be considered for
parallel query excluded subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET. That's correct in
the general case: as the comment notes that'd mean we have to guarantee
ordering (and claims it's not worth checking that) for results to be
consistent across workers. However there's a simpler case that hasn't
been considered: LATERAL subqueries with LIMIT/OFFSET don't fall under
the same reasoning since they're executed (when not converted to a JOIN)
per tuple anyway, so consistency of results across workers isn't a
factor.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] Parallel query support for basic correlated subqueries

Not all Params are inherently parallel-unsafe, but we can't know whether
they're parallel-safe up-front: we need contextual information for a
given path shape. Here we delay the final determination of whether or
not a Param is parallel-safe by initially verifying that it is minimally
parallel-safe for things that are inherent (e.g., no parallel-unsafe
functions or relations involved) and later re-checking that a given
usage is contextually safe (e.g., the Param is for correlation that can
happen entirely within a parallel worker (as opposed to needing to pass
values between workers).

Jaime,

I noticed on 3-October you moved this into "waiting on author"; I
don't see anything waiting in this thread, however. Am I missing
something?

I'm planning to change it back to "needs review".

Thanks,
James

As a preliminary comment, it would be quite useful to get Tom Lane's
opinion on this, since it's not an area I understand especially well,
and I think he understands it better than anyone.

I don't really understand what you mean by "assuming params are
rechecked in the using context." However, I think that a possibly
better approach to this whole area would be to try to solve the
problem by putting limits on where you can insert a Gather node.
Consider:

Nested Loop
-> Seq Scan on x
-> Index Scan on y
   Index Cond: y.q = x.q

If you insert a Gather node atop the Index Scan, necessarily changing
it to a Parallel Index Scan, then you need to pass values around. For
every value we get for x.q, we would need to start workers, sending
them the value of x.q, and they do a parallel index scan working
together to find all rows where y.q = x.q, and then exit. We repeat
this for every tuple from x.q. In the absence of infrastructure to
pass those parameters, we can't put the Gather there. We also don't
want to, because it would be really slow.

If you insert the Gather node atop the Seq Scan or the Nested Loop, in
either case necessarily changing the Seq Scan to a Parallel Seq Scan,
you have no problem. If you put it on top of the Nested Loop, the
parameter will be set in the workers and used in the workers and
everything is fine. If you put it on top of the Seq Scan, the
parameter will be set in the leader -- by the Nested Loop -- and used
in the leader, and again you have no problem.

So in my view of the world, the parameter just acts as an additional
constraint on where Gather nodes can be placed. I don't see that there
are any parameters that are unsafe categorically -- they're just
unsafe if the place where they are set is on a different side of the
Gather from the place where they are used. So I don't understand --
possibly just because I'm dumb -- the idea behind
consider_parallel_rechecking_params, because that seems to be making a
sort of overall judgement about the safety or unsafety of the
parameter on its own merits, rather than thinking about the Gather
placement.

When I last worked on this, I had hoped that extParam or allParam
would be the thing that would answer the question: are there any
parameters used under this node that are not also set under this node?
But I seem to recall that neither seemed to be answering precisely
that question, and the lousy naming of those fields and limited
documentation of their intended purpose did not help.

FWIW, I've never been very happy with those fields either.  IIRC the
design in that area was all Vadim's, but to the extent that there's
any usable documentation of extParam/allParam, it was filled in by me
while trying to understand what Vadim did.  If somebody wants to step
up and do a rewrite to make the planner's Param management more useful
or at least easier to understand, I think that'd be great.

But anyway: yeah, those fields as currently constituted don't help
much.  They tell you which Params are consumed by this node or its
subnodes, but not where those Params came from.  The planner's
plan_params and outer_params fields might be more nearly the right
thing, but I'm not sure they're spot-on either, nor that they're
up-to-date at the point where you'd want to make decisions about
Gather safety.

One thing I discovered when I was looking at this a few years ago is
that there was only one query in the regression tests where extParam
and allParam were not the same. The offending query was select 1 =
all(select (select 1)), and the resulting plan has a Materialize node
with an attached InitPlan. For that Materialize node, extParam = {}
and allParam = {$0}, with $0 also being the output parameter of the
InitPlan attached that that Materialize node. In every other node in
that plan and in every node of every other plan generated by the
regression tests, the values were identical. So it's extremely niche
that these fields are even different from each other, and it's unclear
to me that we really need both of them.

What's also interesting is that extParam is computed (by
finalize_plan) as plan->extParam = bms_del_members(plan->extParam,
initSetParam). So I think it mostly ends up that extParam for a node
is not exactly all the parameters that anything under that node cares
about, but rather - approximately - all the things that anything under
that node cares about that aren't also set someplace under that node.
If it were exactly that, I think it would be perfect for our needs
here: if the set of things used but not set below the current level is
empty, it's OK to insert a Gather node; otherwise, it's not, at least,
not unless we find a way to pipe parameters from the leader into the
workers. But I think there's some reason that I no longer remember why
it's not exactly that, and therefore the idea doesn't work.

One problem I do remember is that attaching initplans at the top of
each subquery level as we presently do is really not good for this
kind of thing. Suppose you have several levels of Nested Loop and
someplace down in the plan you reference an InitPlan. The planner sees
no harm in attaching the InitPlan at the top level, which makes it
unsafe to put the Gather any place but at the top level. If you
attached the InitPlan to the lowest node in the plan tree that is high
enough to be above all the places that use the value from that
parameter, you could potentially shift the Gather down the plan tree,
which would be great if, for example, there's exactly one
parallel-restricted join and the rest are parallel-safe. The best plan
might be to do all the other joins under a Gather and then perform the
parallel-restricted join above it.

But I found it very hard to figure out how to rejigger the logic that
places InitPlans to be more intelligent, and eventually gave up.

Yeah, I've had that nagging feeling about them too.  But ISTR trying to
reduce them to one value years ago, and finding that it didn't quite work,
or at least would result in more subquery-re-evaluation than we do today.
You have to dig into what the executor uses these values for to really
grok them.  I'm afraid that that detail is all swapped out right now, so
I can't say much more.

I had to read through this several times before I understood the point
(not your fault, this is, as you note, a complicated area). I *think*
if I grok it properly you're effectively describing what this patch
results in conceptually (but possibly solving it from a different
direction).

As I understand the current code, parallel plans are largely chosen
based not on where it's safe to insert a Gather node but rather by
determining if a given path is parallel safe. Through that lens params
are a bit of an odd man out -- they aren't inherently unsafe in the
way a parallel-unsafe function is, but they can only be used in
parallel plans under certain conditions (whether because of project
policy, performance, or missing infrastructure).

Under that paradigm the existing consider_parallel and parallel_safe
boolean values imply everything is about whether a plan is inherently
parallel safe. Thus the current doesn't have the context to handle the
nuance of params (as they are not inherently parallel-safe or unsafe).

Introducing consider_parallel_rechecking_params and
parallel_safe_ignoring_params allows us to keep more context on params
and make a more nuanced decision at the proper level of the plan. This
is what I mean by "rechecked in the using context", though I realize
now that both "recheck" and "context" are overloaded terms in the
project, so don't describe the concept particularly clearly. When a
path relies on params we can only make a final determination about its
parallel safety if we know whether or not the current parallel node
can provide the param's value. We don't necessarily know that
information until we attempt to generate a full parallel node in the
plan (I think what you're describing as "inserting a Gather node")
since the param may come from another node in the plan. These new
values allow us to do that by tracking tentatively parallel-safe
subplans (given proper Gather node placement) and delaying the
parallel-safety determination until the point at which a param is
available (or not).

Is that a more helpful framing of what my goal is here?

I don't really know anything about extParam or allParam, so I can't
offer any insight here.

So I think I agree with you here. But I don't like all of this
"ignoring_params" stuff and I don't see why it's necessary. Say we
don't have both parallel_safe and parallel_safe_ignoring_params. Say
we just have parallel_safe. If the plan will be parallel safe if the
params are available, we label it parallel safe. If the plan will not
be parallel safe even if the params are available, we say it's not
parallel safe. Then, when we get to generate_gather_paths(), we don't
generate any paths if there are required parameters that are not
available. What's wrong with that approach?

Maybe it's clearer to say this: I feel like one extra Boolean is
either too much or too little. I think maybe it's not even needed. But
if it is needed, then why just a bool instead of, say, a Bitmapset of
params that are needed, or something?

I'm sort of speaking from intuition here rather than sure knowledge. I
might be totally wrong.

This entry has been waiting on author input for a while (our current
threshold is roughly two weeks), so I've marked it Returned with
Feedback.

Once you think the patchset is ready for review again, you (or any
interested party) can resurrect the patch entry by visiting

    https://commitfest.postgresql.org/38/3246/

and changing the status to "Needs Review", and then changing the
status again to "Move to next CF". (Don't forget the second step;
hopefully we will have streamlined this in the near future!)

Thanks,
--Jacob

I've finally gotten around to checking this out, and the issue was an
"explain analyze" test that had actual loops different on FreeBSD.
There doesn't seem to be a way to disable loop output, but instead of
processing the explain output with e.g. a function (as we do some
other places) to remove the offending and unnecessary output I've just
removed the "analyze" (as I don't believe it was actually necessary).

Attached is an updated patch series. In this version I've removed the
"parallelize some subqueries with limit" patch since discussion is
proceeding in the spun off thread. The first patch adds additional
tests so that you can see how those new tests change with the code
changes in the 2nd patch in the series. As before the final patch in
the series includes changes where we may also want to verify
correctness but don't have a test demonstrating the need.

Thanks,
James Coleman

Hi James:

Very nice to find this topic, I am recently working on this topic [1] as 
well without finding this topic has been discussed before. I just go
through this thread and find it goes with a different direction with mine.
would you mind to check my soluation to see is there any case I can't
cover? I suggested this because my soluation should be much easier than
yours. But I'm not suprised to know I'm miss some obvious keypoint.

I had a detailed explaination for this plan change in [1] and I think
this could be amazing gain no matter which way we go finally.

Hello! 
I was going through the previous conversations for this particular patch and it seems that this patch failed some tests previously? 
Imo we should move it to the next CF so that the remaining issues can be resolved accordingly.

So I guess the question here is whether this is thought to be ready
for serious review or whether it is still thought to need work. If the
latter, it should be marked RwF until that happens -- if the former,
then we should try to review it rather than letting it languish
forever.

I think we should move this patch to the next CF as I believe that work is still going on resolving the last reported bug.

We shouldn't just keep pushing this forward to the next CF. It's been
idle since July. If it needs more work, mark it RwF and it can be
reopened when there's something for a reviewer to do.

I don't follow the "Idle since July" since it just hasn't received
review since then, so there's been nothing to reply to.

That being said, Vignesh's note in January about a now-failing test is
relevant activity, and I've just today responded to that, so I'm
changing the status back from Waiting on Author to Needs Review.

James Coleman

It wasn't clear to me if you thought that the patch was ready for
review since July, or if it was waiting on you since July. Those are
quite different, IMV.

Thanks for noting this here.

I've finally had a chance to look at this, and I don't believe there's
any real failure here, merely drift of how the planner works on master
resulting in this query now being eligible for a different plan shape.

I was a bit wary at first because the changing test query is one I'd
previously referenced in [1] as likely exposing the bug I'd fixed
where params where being used across worker boundaries. However
looking at the diff in the patch at that point (v10) that particular
test query formed a different plan shape (there were two gather nodes
being created, and params crossing between them).

But in the current revision of master with the current patch applied
that's no longer true: we have a Gather node, and the Subplan using
the param is properly under that Gather node, and the param should be
being both generated and consumed within the same worker process.

So I've updated the patch to show that plan change as part of the diff.

See attached v12

James Coleman

Subject: [PATCH v12 2/2] Parallelize correlated subqueries

When params are provided at the current query level (i.e., are generated
within a single worker and not shared across workers) we can safely
execute these in parallel.

We accomplish this by tracking the PARAM_EXEC params that are needed for
a rel to be safely executed in parallel and only inserting a Gather node
if that set is empty.

Hmm ... so the question this raises for me is: was that test intended
to verify behavior of params being passed across workers?  If so,
haven't you broken the point of the test?  This doesn't mean that
your code change is wrong; but I think maybe you need to find a way
to modify that test case so that it still tests what it's meant to.
This is a common hazard when changing the planner's behavior.

I'd been thinking it was covered by another test I'd added in 0001,
but looking at it again that test doesn't exercise parallel append
(though it does exercise a different case of cross-worker param
usage), so I'll add another test for the parallel append behavior.

Regards,
James Coleman
