  1. WIP Patch: Selective binary conversion of CSV file foreign tables

    Etsuro Fujita <fujita.etsuro@lab.ntt.co.jp> — 2012-05-08T11:26:02Z

    I would like to propose to improve parsing efficiency of contrib/file_fdw by
selective parsing proposed by Alagiannis et al.[1], which means that for a
CSV/TEXT file foreign table, file_fdw performs binary conversion only for
the columns needed for query processing.  Attached is a WIP patch
implementing the feature.

I evaluated the efficiency of the patch using SELECT count(*) on a CSV file
foreign table of 5,000,000 records, which had the same definition as the
pgbench history table.  The following run is done on a single core of a
3.00GHz Intel Xeon CPU with 8GB of RAM.  Configuration settings are all
default.

w/o the patch: 7255.898 ms
w/  the patch: 3363.297 ms

On reflection of [2], I think it would be better to disable this feature
when the validation option is set to 'true'; file_fdw converts all columns
to binary representation.  So, it verifies that each tuple meets all column
data types as well as all kinds of constraints.

I appreciate your comments.

Best regards,
Etsuro Fujita

Is the patch they used against 9.0 published somewhere?

It's not.  The patch's been created by myself.  I don't know their patch.

Can you add this to the next CommitFest?  Looks interesting.

    Hi Fujita-san,

Could you rebase this patch towards the latest tree?
It was unavailable to apply the patch cleanly.

I looked over the patch, then noticed a few points.

At ProcessCopyOptions(), defel->arg can be NIL, isn't it?
If so, cstate->convert_binary is not a suitable flag to check
redundant option. It seems to me cstate->convert_selectively
is more suitable flag to check it.

+       else if (strcmp(defel->defname, "convert_binary") == 0)
+       {
+           if (cstate->convert_binary)
+               ereport(ERROR,
+                       (errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),
+                        errmsg("conflicting or redundant options")));
+           cstate->convert_selectively = true;
+           if (defel->arg == NULL || IsA(defel->arg, List))
+               cstate->convert_binary = (List *) defel->arg;
+           else
+               ereport(ERROR,
+                       (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
+                        errmsg("argument to option \"%s\" must be a
list of column names",
+                               defel->defname)));
+       }


At NextCopyFrom(), this routine computes default values if configured.
In case when these values are not referenced, it might be possible to
skip unnecessary calculations.
Is it unavailable to add logic to avoid to construct cstate->defmap on
unreferenced columns at  BeginCopyFrom()?

Thanks,

Sorry, I updated the patch.  Please find attached an updated version of the
patch.

Yes, defel->arg can be NIL.  defel->arg is a List structure listing all the
columns needed to be converted to binary representation, which is NIL for
the case where no columns are needed to be converted.  For example,
defel->arg is NIL for SELECT COUNT(*).  In this case, while
cstate->convert_selectively is set to true, no columns are converted at
NextCopyFrom().  Most efficient case!  In short, cstate->convert_selectively
represents whether to do selective binary conversion at NextCopyFrom(), and
cstate->convert_binary represents all the columns to be converted at
NextCopyFrom(), that can be NIL.

I think that we don't need to add the above logic because file_fdw does
BeginCopyFrom() with attnamelist = NIL, in which case, BeginCopyFrom()
doesn't construct cstate->defmap at all.

I fixed a bug plus some minor optimization in check_binary_conversion() that
is renamed to check_selective_binary_conversion() in the updated version,
and now file_fdw gives up selective binary conversion for the following
cases:

  a) BINARY format
  b) CSV/TEXT format and whole row reference
  c) CSV/TEXT format and all the user attributes needed

  8. Re: WIP Patch: Selective binary conversion of CSV file foreign tables

    Kohei KaiGai <kaigai@kaigai.gr.jp> — 2012-06-25T12:49:19Z

    Fujita-san,

The revised patch is almost good for me.
Only point I noticed is the check for redundant or duplicated options
I pointed out on the previous post.
So, if you agree with the attached patch, I'd like to hand over this
patch for committers.

All I changed is:
 --- a/src/backend/commands/copy.c
 +++ b/src/backend/commands/copy.c
 @@ -122,6 +122,11 @@ typedef struct CopyStateData
@@ -217,7 +221,7 @@ index 98bcb2f..0143d81 100644
        }
 +      else if (strcmp(defel->defname, "convert_binary") == 0)
 +      {
-+          if (cstate->convert_binary)
++          if (cstate->convert_selectively)
 +              ereport(ERROR,

 +                       errmsg("conflicting or redundant options")));

Thanks,

Thanks.
