was defined with a NULL short_desc.

Thanks!

Curious what made you do this? Do you need any parts of this soon?

I've been hacking on this a bit more, btw, just haven't gotten around to the
necessary README rephrasings... :(

Thanks!

I think I should just commit the kill_prior_tuples test, it's better than
nothing.

Greetings,

Andres Freund

The problem is starvation.  For this you really want something more like
rwlocks that do not have the writer starvation problem.  But rwlocks
have other problems too, like in this case forcing readers to wait.

What you want here is something more like a barrier where readers that
did not see that the page has BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS set get to act as though
it's not set while readers that did see that the page has
BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS set don't, and the process that did set that bit gets
to wait for the first set of readers all without blocking the second set
of readers.  That's something akin to an rwlock, but better -- in fact,
it resembles RCU.

I think there is one thing that could be improved here. The isolation
test index-killtuples (377b7ab1452) adds a new dependency:
contrib/btree_gin. contrib/btree_gist. This must be taken into
account in the makefile.

Prior to this patch, isolation tests could be carried out independently
using "make check -C src/test/isolation", but they now require make
check-world to execute successfully, otherwise this test fails with:
====
 step create_ext_btree_gist: CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist;
+ERROR:  extension "btree_gist" is not available
 step create_gist: CREATE INDEX kill_prior_tuple_gist ON kill_prior_tuple
USING gist (key);
+ERROR:  data type integer has no default operator class for access method
"gist"
 step flush: SELECT FROM pg_stat_force_next_flush();
====

Best regards,
Maxim Orlov.

It looks that the conclusion would be to move this test into its own
test module to avoid the external contrib/ dependency in
src/test/isolation/, as duplicated Makefile rules in
src/test/isolation/Makefile are unpleasant.

Thanks Sami for feedback. Few points I wanted to call out and need your
inputs on -

Supporting remote_plans options for inserts:
Only "explain insert" are executed with bind variables (verified by logging
all sqls while running make check) and while executing that on remote is
erroring out with error "there is no parameter $1". We can either NOT
support remote plans for insert statements or always use generic_plan
option on remote sql. Using "generic_plan" on remote comes with an
additional check if remote supports this option or not in case remote shard
is older postgres.
I prefer not supporting remote_plans for inserts as there is nothing much
that goes in insert statement plans unless its "insert into..select". User
can always run explain on that select separately. Appreciate your inputs on
this.

About decision which explain options we should forward to remote shard:
This is because local and remote postgres could be different and we still
need to address what all options we send in remote sql as remote shard
might not even support them. We can forward only limited options to remote
which are widely supported (pg >= 9) i.e. verbose, costs, buffers, format
only.
If we need to support all possible options, we need to query the version of
remote postgres and then prepare remote sql. Thoughts?

Regard,
Dinesh (AWS)

After looking at this a bit more, I don't think the INSERT case is the only one.

Here is an example:
```
-- Setup foreign server and table
CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;
CREATE SERVER remote_server FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw
OPTIONS (host 'localhost', port '5432', dbname 'postgres');
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR CURRENT_USER SERVER remote_server
OPTIONS (user 'postgres', password 'password');

CREATE TABLE local_table (id int, name text);
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE remote_table (
    id int,
    name text
) SERVER remote_server OPTIONS (table_name 'local_table');

postgres=# load 'postgres_fdw';
LOAD
postgres=# explain (remote_plans, verbose) select * from remote_table
where id = (select 1);
ERROR:  there is no parameter $1
CONTEXT:  remote SQL command: EXPLAIN (
        FORMAT TEXT,                                         VERBOSE
1,         COSTS 1,                                         SETTINGS
0)         SELECT id, name FROM public.local_table WHERE ((id =
$1::integer))
postgres=#

postgres=# explain (verbose) select * from remote_table where id = (select 1);
                                    QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Foreign Scan on public.remote_table  (cost=100.01..128.54 rows=7 width=36)
   Output: remote_table.id, remote_table.name
   Remote SQL: SELECT id, name FROM public.local_table WHERE ((id =
$1::integer))
   InitPlan expr_1
     ->  Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=4)
           Output: 1
(6 rows)

````

The above is due to the value of the subquery is sent as a parameter; see
`printRemoteParam`in deparse.c.

Also see this comment in deparse.c:

```
* This is used when we're just trying to EXPLAIN the remote query.
* We don't have the actual value of the runtime parameter yet, and we don't
* want the remote planner to generate a plan that depends on such a value
* anyway. Thus, we can't do something simple like "$1::paramtype".
* Instead, we emit "((SELECT null::paramtype)::paramtype)".
```

The above comment is related to the EXPLAIN being sent remotely when
use_remote_estimate is enabled. But the point is, it will not be possible to
send the runtime parameters to the remote EXPLAIN.

So "generic_plan" as a mandatory option may be the best way to proceed,
and only make the remote_plans option available to remote versions that
support this option.

Maybe others have a better way?

I think if we try to forward an option that is on the source side but not on
the remote side, it's fair to just error out with  "ERROR:
unrecognized EXPLAIN option..."

That should be acceptable, because the user will know better not to use that
option. right?

I agree, I found use of generic_plan convenient here. Attached patch 2
considers this. I have added an error message if the remote postgres server
is not compatible with options being sent. Also updated documentation with
limitations.
Thanks a lot for feedback, Sami. Please review the attached patch and share
feedback.

Subject: [PATCH] postgres_fdw: show remote EXPLAIN plans via REMOTE_PLANS
 option

Add a REMOTE_PLANS option to EXPLAIN that, for every foreign scan or
foreign modification, runs EXPLAIN on the remote server for the
corresponding remote query and prints the result in a "Remote Plans"
section keyed by the local plan node id.

The remote query that postgres_fdw sends often contains $n parameter
placeholders (parameterized foreign scans and joins, subquery outputs,
and INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), which a plain remote EXPLAIN cannot plan and
fails with "there is no parameter $1".  REMOTE_PLANS therefore forces
GENERIC_PLAN on the remote EXPLAIN, which plans such statements without
bound values.  GENERIC_PLAN is only available from PostgreSQL 16, so
REMOTE_PLANS errors out on older remote servers; the plans shown are
consequently generic.

REMOTE_PLANS cannot be combined with ANALYZE, so the ANALYZE-only EXPLAIN
options are not forwarded to the remote.  The remaining plan-shaping
options the user requested are forwarded as-is; if the remote server does
not recognize one of them it errors out with "unrecognized EXPLAIN
option".

The option is registered when postgres_fdw is loaded.

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for the patch. v2 needed rebasing, but I also went ahead and applied
my comments to v3.

1/ Forward all user options instead of hardcoding ExplainState booleans

The current approach reads individual ExplainState fields to construct the
remote EXPLAIN:

```
appendStringInfo(&explain_sql, ", VERBOSE %s", es->verbose ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");
...
.....
```

After thinking about this a bit, this creates a maintenance problem.
Any new non-ANALYZE EXPLAIN option added to core requires someone to
remember to update postgres_fdw. I previously suggested a comment
in explain_state.h to remind developers, but I think we should do
something better.

The explain_validate_options_hook already receives the user's
original option list. We save it in PgFdwExplainState and use
to construct the remote EXPLAIN SQL, skipping only remote_plans
and generic_plan.

New core EXPLAIN options will automatically be forwarded to the
remote when the user specifies them, with no postgres_fdw code
change needed. If the remote doesn't recognize an option, it errors
clearly rather than silently ignoring it.

I tested this against a PG 16 remote. EXPLAIN (REMOTE_PLANS, MEMORY)
correctly errors with "unrecognized EXPLAIN option 'memory'" since
PG 16 does not have MEMORY. This seems better than silent omission.

2/ I also made some comment improvements. Some were just too verbose.

3/ Documentation improvements

The generic plan limitation only matters when the remote SQL contains
parameter placeholders. For queries with only literals (e.g.,
WHERE id = 42), the generic plan is identical to a custom plan. The docs
should clarify this rather than making it seem like a general limitation.

I also added some concrete examples showing both cases where a literal
is used vs a parameter.

Attached is my attempt at the above. What do you think?

Subject: [PATCH v3] postgres_fdw: show remote EXPLAIN plans via REMOTE_PLANS
 option

Add a REMOTE_PLANS option to EXPLAIN that, for every foreign scan or
foreign modification, runs EXPLAIN on the remote server for the
corresponding remote query and prints the result in a "Remote Plans"
section keyed by the local plan node id.

The remote query that postgres_fdw sends often contains $n parameter
placeholders (parameterized foreign scans and joins, subquery outputs,
and INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), which a plain remote EXPLAIN cannot plan and
fails with "there is no parameter $1".  REMOTE_PLANS therefore forces
GENERIC_PLAN on the remote EXPLAIN, which plans such statements without
bound values.  GENERIC_PLAN is only available from PostgreSQL 16, so
REMOTE_PLANS errors out on older remote servers.

REMOTE_PLANS cannot be combined with ANALYZE.  All user-specified EXPLAIN
options (other than REMOTE_PLANS and GENERIC_PLAN) are forwarded to the
remote server as-is.  If the remote server does not recognize a forwarded
option, it reports an error.

The option is registered when postgres_fdw is loaded.

Just took a look and it looks great, thanks Sami for trimming down the
documentation and avoiding maintenance of version and their options. I have
moved the patch to the current commitfest PG20-2.

As discussed offline, also added a regression test that joins two foreign
tables living on different foreign servers (loopback and loopback2), which
exercises REMOTE_PLANS over multiple fdw connections.

Subject: [PATCH v4] postgres_fdw: show remote EXPLAIN plans via REMOTE_PLANS
 option

Add a REMOTE_PLANS option to EXPLAIN that, for every foreign scan or
foreign modification, runs EXPLAIN on the remote server for the
corresponding remote query and prints the result in a "Remote Plans"
section keyed by the local plan node id.

The remote query that postgres_fdw sends often contains $n parameter
placeholders (parameterized foreign scans and joins, subquery outputs,
and INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), which a plain remote EXPLAIN cannot plan and
fails with "there is no parameter $1".  REMOTE_PLANS therefore forces
GENERIC_PLAN on the remote EXPLAIN, which plans such statements without
bound values.  GENERIC_PLAN is only available from PostgreSQL 16, so
REMOTE_PLANS errors out on older remote servers.

REMOTE_PLANS cannot be combined with ANALYZE.  All user-specified EXPLAIN
options (other than REMOTE_PLANS and GENERIC_PLAN) are forwarded to the
remote server as-is.  If the remote server does not recognize a forwarded
option, it reports an error.

The option is registered when postgres_fdw is loaded.
