Thanks, this seems to address the issue - I can no longer reproduce the
crashes, allowing the benchmark to complete. I'm attaching the script I
used and spreadsheet with a summary of results.

For the cases I've tested (100k - 10M values, different compressibility,
different prefix/length values), the results are kinda mixed - many
cases got much faster (~2x), but other cases got slower too. We're
however talking about queries taking a couple of miliseconds, so in
absolute numbers the differences are small.

That does not mean the optimization is useless - but the example shared
at the beginning of this thread is quite extreme, as the values are
extremely compressible. Each value is ~38MB (in plaintext), but a table
with 100 such values has only ~40MB. Tha's 100:1 compression ratio,
which I think is not typical for real-world data sets.

The data I've used are less extreme, depending on the fraction of random
data in values.

I went through the code too. I've reworder a couple of comments and code
style issues, but there are a couple of more serious issues.


1) Why rename TOAST_COMPRESS_RAWDATA to TOAST_COMPRESS_DATA?

This seems unnecessary, and it discards the clear hint that it's about
accessing the *raw* data, and the relation to TOAST_COMPRESS_RAWSIZE.
IMHO we should keep the original naming.


2) pglz_maximum_compressed_size signatures are confusing

There are two places with pglz_maximum_compressed_size signature, and
those places are kinda out of sync when it comes to parameter names:

  int32
  pglz_maximum_compressed_size(int32 raw_slice_size,
                               int32 total_compressed_size)

  extern
  int32 pglz_maximum_compressed_size(int32 raw_slice_size,
                                     int32 raw_size);

Also, pg_lzcompress.c has no concept of a "slice" because it only deals
with simple compression, slicing is responsibility of the tuptoaster. So
we should not mix those two, not even in comments.


I propose tweaks per the attached patch - I think it makes the code
clearer, and it's mostly cosmetic stuff. But I haven't tested the
changes beyond "it compiles".
