4 * Generalized tuple sorting routines.
6 * This module handles sorting of heap tuples, index tuples, or single
7 * Datums (and could easily support other kinds of sortable objects,
8 * if necessary). It works efficiently for both small and large amounts
9 * of data. Small amounts are sorted in-memory using qsort(). Large
10 * amounts are sorted using temporary files and a standard external sort
13 * See Knuth, volume 3, for more than you want to know about the external
14 * sorting algorithm. We divide the input into sorted runs using replacement
15 * selection, in the form of a priority tree implemented as a heap
16 * (essentially his Algorithm 5.2.3H), then merge the runs using polyphase
17 * merge, Knuth's Algorithm 5.4.2D. The logical "tapes" used by Algorithm D
18 * are implemented by logtape.c, which avoids space wastage by recycling
19 * disk space as soon as each block is read from its "tape".
21 * We do not form the initial runs using Knuth's recommended replacement
22 * selection data structure (Algorithm 5.4.1R), because it uses a fixed
23 * number of records in memory at all times. Since we are dealing with
24 * tuples that may vary considerably in size, we want to be able to vary
25 * the number of records kept in memory to ensure full utilization of the
26 * allowed sort memory space. So, we keep the tuples in a variable-size
27 * heap, with the next record to go out at the top of the heap. Like
28 * Algorithm 5.4.1R, each record is stored with the run number that it
29 * must go into, and we use (run number, key) as the ordering key for the
30 * heap. When the run number at the top of the heap changes, we know that
31 * no more records of the prior run are left in the heap.
33 * The approximate amount of memory allowed for any one sort operation
34 * is specified in kilobytes by the caller (most pass work_mem). Initially,
35 * we absorb tuples and simply store them in an unsorted array as long as
36 * we haven't exceeded workMem. If we reach the end of the input without
37 * exceeding workMem, we sort the array using qsort() and subsequently return
38 * tuples just by scanning the tuple array sequentially. If we do exceed
39 * workMem, we construct a heap using Algorithm H and begin to emit tuples
40 * into sorted runs in temporary tapes, emitting just enough tuples at each
41 * step to get back within the workMem limit. Whenever the run number at
42 * the top of the heap changes, we begin a new run with a new output tape
43 * (selected per Algorithm D). After the end of the input is reached,
44 * we dump out remaining tuples in memory into a final run (or two),
45 * then merge the runs using Algorithm D.
47 * When merging runs, we use a heap containing just the frontmost tuple from
48 * each source run; we repeatedly output the smallest tuple and insert the
49 * next tuple from its source tape (if any). When the heap empties, the merge
50 * is complete. The basic merge algorithm thus needs very little memory ---
51 * only M tuples for an M-way merge, and M is constrained to a small number.
52 * However, we can still make good use of our full workMem allocation by
53 * pre-reading additional tuples from each source tape. Without prereading,
54 * our access pattern to the temporary file would be very erratic; on average
55 * we'd read one block from each of M source tapes during the same time that
56 * we're writing M blocks to the output tape, so there is no sequentiality of
57 * access at all, defeating the read-ahead methods used by most Unix kernels.
58 * Worse, the output tape gets written into a very random sequence of blocks
59 * of the temp file, ensuring that things will be even worse when it comes
60 * time to read that tape. A straightforward merge pass thus ends up doing a
61 * lot of waiting for disk seeks. We can improve matters by prereading from
62 * each source tape sequentially, loading about workMem/M bytes from each tape
63 * in turn. Then we run the merge algorithm, writing but not reading until
64 * one of the preloaded tuple series runs out. Then we switch back to preread
65 * mode, fill memory again, and repeat. This approach helps to localize both
66 * read and write accesses.
68 * When the caller requests random access to the sort result, we form
69 * the final sorted run on a logical tape which is then "frozen", so
70 * that we can access it randomly. When the caller does not need random
71 * access, we return from tuplesort_performsort() as soon as we are down
72 * to one run per logical tape. The final merge is then performed
73 * on-the-fly as the caller repeatedly calls tuplesort_getXXX; this
74 * saves one cycle of writing all the data out to disk and reading it in.
76 * Before Postgres 8.2, we always used a seven-tape polyphase merge, on the
77 * grounds that 7 is the "sweet spot" on the tapes-to-passes curve according
78 * to Knuth's figure 70 (section 5.4.2). However, Knuth is assuming that
79 * tape drives are expensive beasts, and in particular that there will always
80 * be many more runs than tape drives. In our implementation a "tape drive"
81 * doesn't cost much more than a few Kb of memory buffers, so we can afford
82 * to have lots of them. In particular, if we can have as many tape drives
83 * as sorted runs, we can eliminate any repeated I/O at all. In the current
84 * code we determine the number of tapes M on the basis of workMem: we want
85 * workMem/M to be large enough that we read a fair amount of data each time
86 * we preread from a tape, so as to maintain the locality of access described
87 * above. Nonetheless, with large workMem we can have many tapes.

137 * The objects we actually sort are SortTuple structs. These contain
138 * a pointer to the tuple proper (might be a MinimalTuple or IndexTuple),
139 * which is a separate palloc chunk --- we assume it is just one chunk and
140 * can be freed by a simple pfree(). SortTuples also contain the tuple's
141 * first key column in Datum/nullflag format, and an index integer.
143 * Storing the first key column lets us save heap_getattr or index_getattr
144 * calls during tuple comparisons. We could extract and save all the key
145 * columns not just the first, but this would increase code complexity and
146 * overhead, and wouldn't actually save any comparison cycles in the common
147 * case where the first key determines the comparison result. Note that
148 * for a pass-by-reference datatype, datum1 points into the "tuple" storage.
150 * There is one special case: when the sort support infrastructure provides an
151 * "abbreviated key" representation, where the key is (typically) a pass by
152 * value proxy for a pass by reference type. In this case, the abbreviated key
153 * is stored in datum1 in place of the actual first key column.
155 * When sorting single Datums, the data value is represented directly by
156 * datum1/isnull1 for pass by value types (or null values). If the datatype is
157 * pass-by-reference and isnull1 is false, then "tuple" points to a separately
158 * palloc'd data value, otherwise "tuple" is NULL. The value of datum1 is then
159 * either the same pointer as "tuple", or is an abbreviated key value as
160 * described above. Accordingly, "tuple" is always used in preference to
161 * datum1 as the authoritative value for pass-by-reference cases.
163 * While building initial runs, tupindex holds the tuple's run number. During
164 * merge passes, we re-use it to hold the input tape number that each tuple in
165 * the heap was read from, or to hold the index of the next tuple pre-read
166 * from the same tape in the case of pre-read entries. tupindex goes unused
167 * if the sort occurs entirely in memory.

411 * NOTES about on-tape representation of tuples:
413 * We require the first "unsigned int" of a stored tuple to be the total size
414 * on-tape of the tuple, including itself (so it is never zero; an all-zero
415 * unsigned int is used to delimit runs). The remainder of the stored tuple
416 * may or may not match the in-memory representation of the tuple ---
417 * any conversion needed is the job of the writetup and readtup routines.
419 * If state->randomAccess is true, then the stored representation of the
420 * tuple must be followed by another "unsigned int" that is a copy of the
421 * length --- so the total tape space used is actually sizeof(unsigned int)
422 * more than the stored length value. This allows read-backwards. When
423 * randomAccess is not true, the write/read routines may omit the extra
426 * writetup is expected to write both length words as well as the tuple
427 * data. When readtup is called, the tape is positioned just after the
428 * front length word; readtup must read the tuple data and advance past
429 * the back length word (if present).
431 * The write/read routines can make use of the tuple description data
432 * stored in the Tuplesortstate record, if needed. They are also expected
433 * to adjust state->availMem by the amount of memory space (not tape space!)
434 * released or consumed. There is no error return from either writetup
435 * or readtup; they should ereport() on failure.
438 * NOTES about memory consumption calculations:
440 * We count space allocated for tuples against the workMem limit, plus
441 * the space used by the variable-size memtuples array. Fixed-size space
442 * is not counted; it's small enough to not be interesting.
444 * Note that we count actual space used (as shown by GetMemoryChunkSpace)
445 * rather than the originally-requested size. This is important since
446 * palloc can add substantial overhead. It's not a complete answer since
447 * we won't count any wasted space in palloc allocation blocks, but it's
448 * a lot better than what we were doing before 7.3.
