19 years agoThis patch makes some improvements to the rtree index implementation:
Neil Conway [Tue, 18 Jan 2005 23:25:55 +0000 (23:25 +0000)]
This patch makes some improvements to the rtree index implementation:

(1) Keep a pin on the scan's current buffer and mark buffer. This
avoids the need to do a ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the
scan. Since ReadBuffer() is expensive, this is a significant win.

(2) Convert a ReleaseBuffer(); ReadBuffer() pair into
ReleaseAndReadBuffer(). Surely not a huge win, but it saves a lock
acquire/release...

(3) Remove a bunch of duplicated code in rtget.c; make rtnext() handle
both the "initial result" and "subsequent result" cases.

(4) Add support for index tuple killing

(5) Remove rtscancache(): it is dead code, for the same reason that
gistscancache() is dead code (an index scan ought not be invoked with
NoMovementScanDirection).

The end result is about a 10% improvement in rtree index scan perf,
according to contrib/rtree_gist/bench.

Undo an unadvertised change in the API of pg_atoi.  In all previous
releases, a nonzero 'c' argument meant that the input string could be
terminated by either that character or \0.  Recent refactoring broke
that, causing the thing to scan for 'c' only.  This went undetected
because no part of the main code actually passes nonzero 'c'.  However
it broke tsearch2 and possibly other user-written code that assumed
the old definition.  Per report from Tom Hebbron.
