* [PATCH 4/4] Serialize decoded tuples without flattening.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-02 14:30 UTC (permalink / raw)

So far we used to flatten the tuples produced by logical decoding in order to
write them to a temporary file. That means that all the TOASTed attributes
ended up in a single chunk of memory. The problem is that even if individual
attributes do fit into the maximum chunk size (currently 1 GB), the whole
tuple is not guaranteed to fit.

The flattening might be a problem in the future anyway, since there's an
effort to restrict the impact of REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) on the VACUUM xmin
horizon. However, as the flattening assumes scans of the TOAST relaation, the
less we restrict VACUUM, the more likely it is that the TOAST attributes
needed for the flattening won't be available at decoding time.

(This patch also removes unnecessary field 'tupdesc' from RepackDecodingState
and allocates it in the appropriate memory context.)

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access
strategy is involved this way.

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().

It should make the copying more efficient. Besides that, buffer access

This diff reverts the changes done in previous parts of the series to
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() and introduces a separate function
heap_insert_for_repack().
