When IMMV is created with DISTINCT, multiplicity of tuples is
counted and stored in  "__ivm_count__" column, which is a hidden
column of IMMV.  The value in __ivm_count__ is updated when IMMV
is maintained incrementally. A tuple in IMMV can be removed if
and only if the count becomes zero.

* [PATCH] Add hook for plugins to acquire sample rows during ANALYZE
@ 2026-05-29 12:35  Samba Siva <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 198+ messages in thread

From: Samba Siva @ 2026-05-29 12:35 UTC (permalink / raw)

- Introduced AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook for extensions to override row sampling.
- Updated analyze.c to utilize the hook if registered.
- Added tests to ensure ANALYZE completes without errors with the new hook.

From: Samba Siva @ 2026-05-29 12:35 UTC (permalink / raw)

- Introduced AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook for extensions to override row sampling.
- Updated analyze.c to utilize the hook if registered.
- Added tests to ensure ANALYZE completes without errors with the new hook.

From: Samba Siva @ 2026-05-29 12:35 UTC (permalink / raw)

- Introduced AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook for extensions to override row sampling.
- Updated analyze.c to utilize the hook if registered.
- Added tests to ensure ANALYZE completes without errors with the new hook.

From: Samba Siva @ 2026-05-29 12:35 UTC (permalink / raw)

- Introduced AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook for extensions to override row sampling.
- Updated analyze.c to utilize the hook if registered.
- Added tests to ensure ANALYZE completes without errors with the new hook.

* [PATCH] Add hook for plugins to acquire sample rows during ANALYZE

Hi all,

Attached is a patch that adds a hook, AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook, allowing extensions to override the row sampling function used during ANALYZE for regular heap relations.

Motivation

Extensions that implement horizontal scaling of tables currently have no clean way to participate in ANALYZE's row sampling. The default acquire_sample_rows() only knows how to sample the local heap, so a distributed-table extension wanting accurate statistics has to either:

maintain its own separate stats-collection machinery outside of ANALYZE entirely, or

duplicate/reimplement parts of analyze.c's sampling logic to pull rows from remote nodes.


This hook lets such an extension plug into the existing ANALYZE code path and supply its own row acquisition function, without having to reinvent stats collection or duplicate logic that already exists in core.

What the patch does

Adds AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook (typed identically to AcquireSampleRowsFunc) in vacuum.h.

In analyze.c, both analyze_rel() and acquire_inherited_sample_rows() check the hook and use it in place of acquire_sample_rows() when set.

Adds doc text in xfunc.sgml describing the hook's contract (fill rows[] up to targrows, set *totalrows).

Adds a regression test confirming ANALYZE still completes normally with the hook unset (the hook itself needs a C extension to exercise meaningfully, so this just guards against regressions in the unset case).

If you have implemented sharding using inheritance or partitioning and
FDW, the facility to fetch statistics of foreign tables from foreign
server can be useful here. IIUC, there is a limitation on using it for
inherited foreign tables, but it's worth exploring and improving for
your usecase.

Hi Ashutosh, 

If you have implemented sharding using inheritance or partitioning and 

FDW, the facility to fetch statistics of foreign tables from foreign 

server can be useful here. IIUC, there is a limitation on using it for 

inherited foreign tables, but it's worth exploring and improving for 

your usecase.


Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, this is not FDW-based sharding. The shards here are plain PostgreSQL tables distributed across the nodes like Citus, when a table is distributed, the base table remains on the coordinator and its shards spread across the workers as regular PostgreSQL heap tables.

Since there are no foreign tables involved, the FDW stats-fetching mechanism does not apply here. The base table holds no actual row data, but the shards as the real data - which is precisely the gap AcquireSampleRowsFunc_hook is meant to address.

Happy to clarify further if needed.

Thanks,
Samba Siva Reddy
