* [PATCH v47 7/9] Fix a few problems in index build progress reporting. @ 2026-03-27 15:50 Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 329+ messages in thread From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-03-27 15:50 UTC (permalink / raw) First, index_build() should not update the progress when being driven by REPACK, because the progress reporting infractructure cannot handle status of two commands at the same time. So far, REPACK with the CONCURRENTLY option neglected this problem altogether, but even the existing REPACK wasn't consistent enough: even if the 'progress' variable in repack_index() was false, it didn't pass the value to index_build(). Second, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) should not set PROGRESS_REPACK_PHASE to PROGRESS_REPACK_PHASE_FINAL_CLEANUP in rebuild_relation() because it calls finish_heap_swap() anyway (via rebuild_relation_finish_concurrent()), which does the same thing. --- src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c | 2 +- src/backend/catalog/heap.c | 3 ++- src/backend/catalog/index.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++---- src/backend/catalog/toasting.c | 3 ++- src/backend/commands/indexcmds.c | 1 + src/include/catalog/index.h | 4 +++- 6 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c b/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c index 38ef683d4c7..60fb7051830 100644 --- a/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c +++ b/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c @@ -1183,7 +1183,7 @@ build_indices(void) heap = table_open(ILHead->il_heap, NoLock); ind = index_open(ILHead->il_ind, NoLock); - index_build(heap, ind, ILHead->il_info, false, false); + index_build(heap, ind, ILHead->il_info, false, false, false); index_close(ind, NoLock); table_close(heap, NoLock); diff --git a/src/backend/catalog/heap.c b/src/backend/catalog/heap.c index 5748aa9a1a9..ae6b7cda3dd 100644 --- a/src/backend/catalog/heap.c +++ b/src/backend/catalog/heap.c @@ -3570,7 +3570,8 @@ RelationTruncateIndexes(Relation heapRelation) /* Initialize the index and rebuild */ /* Note: we do not need to re-establish pkey setting */ - index_build(heapRelation, currentIndex, indexInfo, true, false); + index_build(heapRelation, currentIndex, indexInfo, true, false, + true); /* We're done with this index */ index_close(currentIndex, NoLock); diff --git a/src/backend/catalog/index.c b/src/backend/catalog/index.c index b86ad73c626..bac8d527ae5 100644 --- a/src/backend/catalog/index.c +++ b/src/backend/catalog/index.c @@ -715,6 +715,9 @@ UpdateIndexRelation(Oid indexoid, * already exists. * INDEX_CREATE_PARTITIONED: * create a partitioned index (table must be partitioned) + * INDEX_CREATE_REPORT_PROGRESS: + * update the backend's progress information during index build. + * constr_flags: flags passed to index_constraint_create * (only if INDEX_CREATE_ADD_CONSTRAINT is set) * allow_system_table_mods: allow table to be a system catalog @@ -760,6 +763,7 @@ index_create(Relation heapRelation, bool invalid = (flags & INDEX_CREATE_INVALID) != 0; bool concurrent = (flags & INDEX_CREATE_CONCURRENT) != 0; bool partitioned = (flags & INDEX_CREATE_PARTITIONED) != 0; + bool progress = (flags & INDEX_CREATE_REPORT_PROGRESS) != 0; char relkind; TransactionId relfrozenxid; MultiXactId relminmxid; @@ -1276,7 +1280,8 @@ index_create(Relation heapRelation, } else { - index_build(heapRelation, indexRelation, indexInfo, false, true); + index_build(heapRelation, indexRelation, indexInfo, false, true, + progress); } /* @@ -1438,6 +1443,12 @@ index_create_copy(Relation heapRelation, bool concurrently, stattargets[i].isnull = isnull; } + /* + * Note: The current callers do not need INDEX_CREATE_REPORT_PROGRESS.

* [PATCH] REPACK CONCURRENTLY: Initialize the range table more honestly @ 2026-07-03 10:47 Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 329+ messages in thread From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-07-03 10:47 UTC (permalink / raw) We were skipping a bunch of things that are mostly unnecessary for REPACK. However, one thing that seems would be better to pass closer to truth, is the updatedCols bitmapset in the range table entry for the repacked table. Cons up an RTE and install it into the EState. This only has an effect on btree indexes, because certain operations are optimized in the case of unchanged columns; and even then, correctnesss is not being compromised. The values we pass after this commit are not fully trustworthy either, because we simply say "all columns were updated" for all insert/updates, regardless of whether their values were actually modified or not. However, this way we err to the side of caution rather than to the opposite direction as we were originally doing. This could be refined in the future, but there's a trade-off: determining whether the column was in fact updated could be expensive.
