[Proposal] vacuumdb --schema only

От
Gilles Darold
Дата:
Hi,


When we want to vacuum and/or analyze all tables in a dedicated schema, 
let's say pg_catalog for example, there is no easy way to do that. The 
VACUUM command doesn't allow it so we have to use \gexec or a SQL script 
to do that. We have an external command vacuumdb that could be used to 
simplify this task. For example the following command can be used to 
clean all tables stored in the pg_catalog schema:

     vacuumdb --schema pg_catalog -d foo

The attached patch implements that. Option -n | --schema can be used 
multiple time and can not be used together with options -a or -t.


Common use cases are an application that creates lot of temporary 
objects then drop them which can bloat a lot the catalog or which have 
heavy work in some schemas only. Of course the good practice is to find 
the bloated tables and execute VACUUM on each table but if most of the 
tables in the schema are regularly bloated the use of the vacuumdb 
--schema script can save time.


I do not propose to extend the VACUUM and ANALYZE commands because their 
current syntax doesn't allow me to see an easy way to do that and also 
because I'm not really in favor of such change. But if there is interest 
in improving these commands I will be pleased to do that, with the 
syntax suggested.


Best regards,

Yes, thanks.

I suggest there should also be an --exclude-schema.

I think this would be easy with the parenthesized syntax.
I'm not suggesting to do it there, though.

This gives much better flexibility to users.

Ok, I will add it too.

Yes this is what I've though, something a la EXPLAIN, for example : 
"VACUUM (ANALYZE, SCHEMA foo)" but this is a change in the VACUUM syntax 
that needs to keep the compatibility with the current syntax. We will 
have two syntax something like "VACUUM ANALYZE FULL dbname" and "VACUUM 
(ANALYZE, FULL) dbname". The other syntax "problem" is to be able to use 
multiple schema values in the VACUUM command, perhaps "VACUUM (ANALYZE, 
SCHEMA (foo,bar))".

Thanks, will be fixed in next patch version.

Attached a new patch version that adds the -N | --exclude-schema option
to the vacuumdb command as suggested. Documentation updated too.


I will add this patch to the commitfest unless there is cons about
adding these options.

It's odd that schema_exclusion is a global var, but schemas/excluded are not.

Also, it seems unnecessary to have two schemas vars, since they can't be used
together.  Maybe there's a better way than what I did in 003.

It's preferred to write cell != NULL

Maybe it's clearer to write this with =ANY() / != ALL() ?

I wondered whether my patches were improvements, and it occurred to me that
your patch didn't fail if the specified schema didn't exist.  That's arguably
preferable, but that's the pre-existing behavior for tables.  So I think the
behavior of my patch is more consistent.

$ ./src/bin/scripts/vacuumdb -h /tmp -d postgres --table foo

I took a look at the v4 patch.

'git-apply' complains about whitespace errors:

    warning: 18 lines add whitespace errors.

+    printf(_("  -N, --exclude-schema=PATTERN    do NOT vacuum tables in the specified schema(s)\n"));

I'm personally -1 for the --exclude-schema option.  I don't see any
existing "exclude" options in vacuumdb, and the uses for such an option
seem rather limited.  If we can point to specific use-cases for this
option, I might be willing to change my vote.

+   <para>
+    To clean all tables in the <literal>Foo</literal> and <literal>bar</literal> schemas
+    only in a database named <literal>xyzzy</literal>:
+<screen>
+<prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>vacuumdb --schema='"Foo"' --schema='bar' xyzzy</userinput>
+</screen></para>

nitpicks: I think the phrasing should be "To only clean tables in the...".
Also, is there any reason to use a schema name with a capital letter as an
example?  IMO that just adds unnecessary complexity to the example.

+$node->issues_sql_like(
+    [ 'vacuumdb', '--schema', '"Foo"', 'postgres' ],
+    qr/VACUUM "Foo".*/,
+    'vacuumdb --schema schema only');

IIUC there should only be one table in the schema.  Can we avoid matching
"*" and check for the exact command instead?

I think there should be a few more test cases.  For example, we should test
using -n and -N at the same time, and we should test what happens when
those options are used for missing schemas.

+    /*
+     * When filtering on schema name, filter by table is not allowed.
+     * The schema name can already be set to a fqdn table name.
+     */
+    if (tbl_count && (schemas.head != NULL))
+    {
+        pg_log_error("cannot vacuum all tables in schema(s) and specific table(s) at the same time");
+        exit(1);
+    }

I think there might be some useful refactoring we can do that would
simplify adding similar options in the future.  Specifically, can we have a
global variable that stores the type of vacuumdb command (e.g., all,
tables, or schemas)?  If so, perhaps the tables list could be renamed and
reused for schemas (and any other objects that need listing in the future).

+        if (schemas != NULL && schemas->head != NULL)
+        {
+            appendPQExpBufferStr(&catalog_query,
+                                 " AND c.relnamespace");
+            if (schema_is_exclude == TRI_YES)
+                appendPQExpBufferStr(&catalog_query,
+                                    " OPERATOR(pg_catalog.!=) ALL (ARRAY[");
+            else if (schema_is_exclude == TRI_NO)
+                appendPQExpBufferStr(&catalog_query,
+                                    " OPERATOR(pg_catalog.=) ANY (ARRAY[");
+
+            for (cell = schemas->head; cell != NULL; cell = cell->next)
+            {
+                appendStringLiteralConn(&catalog_query, cell->val, conn);
+
+                if (cell->next != NULL)
+                    appendPQExpBufferStr(&catalog_query, ", ");
+            }
+
+            /* Finish formatting schema filter */
+            appendPQExpBufferStr(&catalog_query, "]::pg_catalog.regnamespace[])\n");
+        }

IMO we should use a CTE for specified schemas like we do for the specified
tables.  I wonder if we could even have a mostly-shared CTE code path for
all vacuumdb commands with a list of names.

-    /*
-     * If no tables were listed, filter for the relevant relation types.  If
-     * tables were given via --table, don't bother filtering by relation type.
-     * Instead, let the server decide whether a given relation can be
-     * processed in which case the user will know about it.
-     */
-    if (!tables_listed)
+    else
     {
+        /*
+         * If no tables were listed, filter for the relevant relation types.  If
+         * tables were given via --table, don't bother filtering by relation type.
+         * Instead, let the server decide whether a given relation can be
+         * processed in which case the user will know about it.
+         */

nitpick: This change seems unnecessary.

I noticed upthread that there was some discussion around adding a way to
specify a schema in VACUUM and ANALYZE commands.  I think this patch is
useful even if such an option is eventually added, as we'll still want
vacuumdb to obtain the full list of tables to process so that it can
effectively parallelize.

I suggested it because I would consider using it, even though I don't currently
use the vacuumdb script at all.  I think this would allow partially
retiring/simplifying our existing vacuum script.

We 1) put all our partitions in a separate "child" schema (so \d is more
usable), and also 2) put some short-lived tables into their own schemas.  Some
of those tables may only exist for ~1 day so I'd perfer to neither vacuum nor
analyze them (they're only used for SELECT *).  But there can be a lot of them,
so a nightly job could do something like vacuumdb --schema public or vacuumdb
--exclude-schema ephemeral.

Everything would be processed nightly using vacuumdb --min-xid (to keep the
monitoring system happy).

The non-partitioned tables could be vacuumed nightly (without min-xid), with
--exclude ephemeral.

The partitioned tables could be processed monthly with vacuumdb --analyze.

I'd also want to be able to run vacuumdb --analyze nightly, but I'd want to
exclude the schema with short-lived tables.   I'd also need a way to exclude
our partitioned tables from nightly analyze (they should run monthly only).

Maybe this could share something with this patch:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/2573/
pg_dump - read data for some options from external file

The goal of that patch was to put it in a file, which isn't really needed here.
But if there were common infrastructure for matching tables, it could be
shared.  The interesting part for this patch is to avoid adding separate
commandline arguments for --include-table, --exclude-table, --include-schema,
--exclude-schema (and anything else?)

Thanks for elaborating.  I retract my -1 vote.

I have though that an example of a schema with case sensitivity was
missing in the documentation but I agree with your comment, this is
probably not he best place to do that. Fixed.

I don't think there will be much more options like this one that will be
added to this command but anyway I have changed the patch that way.

Ok, got it with the help of rjuju. Actually it was compiling well using 
gcc but clang give some warnings. A fix of these warning makes CI happy.


Attached v7 of the patch that should pass cfbot.

Thanks for the new patch!  Unfortunately, it looks like some recent changes

I think these should be combined into a single enum for simplicity and
readability (e.g., OBJFILTER_NONE, OBJFILTER_INCLUDE_SCHEMA,
OBJFILTER_EXCLUDE_SCHEMA, OBJFILTER_TABLE).

I still think we ought to remove schema_is_exclude in favor of adding
OBJFILTER_SCHEMA_EXCLUDE to the enum.  I think that would simplify some of
the error handling and improve readability.  IMO we should add
OBJFILTER_ALL, too.

I was expecting these to check objfilter.  For example:

    case 'N':
        {
            if (objfilter == OBJFILTER_TABLE)
                pg_fatal("...");
            else if (objfilter == OBJFILTER_SCHEMA)
                pg_fatal("...");
            else if (objfilter == OBJFILTER_ALL)
                pg_fatal("...");

            simple_string_list_append(&objects, optarg);
            objfilter = OBJFILTER_SCHEMA_EXCLUDE;
            break;
        }

Another possible improvement could be to move the pg_fatal() calls to a
helper function that generates the message based on the current objfilter
setting and the current option.  I'm envisioning something like
check_objfilter(VacObjFilter curr_objfilter, VacObjFilter curr_option).

Isn't this redundant with the error in the option handling?

I think we could move all these into check_objfilter(), too.

nitpick: Why do we need to check that objects.head is not NULL?  Isn't the
objfilter check enough?

Do we need to check for objects_listed here?  IIUC we can just check for
objfilter != OBJFILTER_TABLE.

Unless I'm missing something, schema_is_exclude appears to only be used for
error checking and doesn't impact the generated catalog query.  It looks
like the relevant logic disappeared after v4 of the patch.

Yes we need it otherwise test 'vacuumdb with view' fail because we are 
not trying to vacuum the view so the PG doesn't report:

     WARNING:  cannot vacuum non-tables or special system tables

My point is that the only time we don't want to filter for relevant
relation types is when the user provides a list of tables.  So my
suggestion would be to simplify this to the following:

    if (objfilter != OBJFILTER_TABLE)
    {
        appendPQExpBufferStr(...);
        has_where = true;
    }

I don't think -N works at the moment.  I tested it out, and vacuumdb was
still processing tables in schemas I excluded.  Can we add a test case for
this, too?

I don't think this handles all combinations.  For example, the following
command does not fail:

    vacuumdb -a -N test postgres

Furthermore, do you think it'd be possible to dynamically generate the
message?  If it doesn't add too much complexity, this might be a nice way
to simplify this function.

I have tried to avoid reusing the same error message several time by using a new enum and function filter_error(). I also use the same messages with --schema and --exclude-schema related errors.

Thanks!  I've attached a v11 with some minor editorialization.  I think I

Looks good for me, there is a failure on cfbot on FreeBSD but I have run

Can I change the commitfest status to ready for committers?

I've marked it as ready-for-committer.

The refactoring logic to build the queries is clear to follow.  I have
a few comments about the shape of the patch, though.

            case 'a':
-               alldb = true;
+               check_objfilter(OBJFILTER_ALL_DBS);
                break;
The cross-option checks are usually done after all the options
switches are check.  Why does this need to be different?  It does not
strike me as a huge problem to do one filter check at the end.

+void
+check_objfilter(VacObjFilter curr_option)
+{
+   objfilter |= curr_option;
+
+   if ((objfilter & OBJFILTER_ALL_DBS) &&
+       (objfilter & OBJFILTER_DATABASE))
+       pg_fatal("cannot vacuum all databases and a specific one at the same time");
The addition of more OBJFILTER_* (unlikely going to happen, but who
knows) would make it hard to know which option should not interact
with each other.  Wouldn't it be better to use a kind of compatibility
table for that?  As one OBJFILTER_* matches with one option, you could
simplify the number of strings in need of translation by switching to
an error message like "cannot use options %s and %s together", or
something like that?

+$node->command_fails(
+   [ 'vacuumdb', '-a', '-d', 'postgres' ],
+   'cannot use options -a and -d at the same time');
This set of tests had better use command_fails_like() to make sure
that the correct error patterns from check_objfilter() show up?

Thanks for taking a look!

Makes sense.  I fixed this in v13.

I think this might actually make things more complicated.  In addition to
the compatibility table, we'd need to define the strings to use in the
error message somewhere.  I can give this a try if you feel strongly about
it.

Yes.  I did this in v13.
