  1. Generic Plans for Prepared Statement are 158155 times slower than Custom Plans

    Naik, Sameer <sameer_naik@bmc.com> — 2019-04-29T10:36:20Z

    Hi,
    Since Postgres 9.2, for prepared statements, the CBO automatically switches from Custom Plan to Generic plan on the sixth iteration (reference backend/utils/cache/plancache.c).
    I am observing that the Generic plan for Prepared statement requires 5544.701 ms to execute where as custom plan for same query requires 3.497 ms.
    The cost of execution is reduced from 402 (custom plan) to 12.68 (generic plan).
    However the execution time has gone up from 3.497 ms to 5544.701 ms.
    
    Below are the details about this use case.
    
    Postgres version - PostgreSQL 9.6.6, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit

    This is not totally true.  The PREPARE manual page for PG 11 says:
    
           Prepared statements can use generic plans rather than re-planning
           with each set of supplied EXECUTE values. This occurs immediately
           for prepared statements with no parameters; otherwise it occurs
           only after five or more executions produce plans whose estimated
    -->    cost average (including planning overhead) is more expensive than
    -->    the generic plan cost estimate. Once a generic plan is chosen, it
           is used for the remaining lifetime of the prepared statement. Using
           EXECUTE values which are rare in columns with many duplicates can
           generate custom plans that are so much cheaper than the generic
           plan, even after adding planning overhead, that the generic plan
           might never be used.
    
    Also, PG 9.2 is EOL so are you actually using that or something more
    recent?  It would be interesting to see if this is true on a supported
    version of Postgres.

    Yeah, that's a pretty inaccurate statement of the behavior.
    
    The problem seems to be that the actual values being used for
    c400129200 and c400127400 are quite common in the dataset,
    so that when considering
    
    Filter: ... (c400129200 = '0'::citext) AND (c400127400 = 'DATASET1M'::citext)
    
    the planner makes a roughly correct assessment that there are a lot of
    such rows, so it prefers to index on the basis of the giant OR clause
    instead, even though that's fairly expensive.  But, when considering
    the generic case
    
           ->  Index Scan using i776_0_400129200_t776 on t776  (cost=0.42..12.66 rows=1 width=52) (actual time=1190.399..5544.385 rows=48 loops=1)
                 Index Cond: ((c400129200 = $1) AND (c400127400 = $2))
    
    it's evidently guessing that just a few rows will match the index
    condition (no more than about 3 given the cost number), making this plan
    look much cheaper, so it goes with this plan.  I wonder what the actual
    distribution of those keys is.
    
    In v10 and later, it's quite possible that creating extended stats
    on the combination of those two columns would produce a better
    estimate.  Won't help OP on 9.6, though.
    
    This isn't the first time we've seen a plan-choice failure of this sort.
    I've wondered if we should make the plancache simply disbelieve generic
    cost estimates that are actually cheaper than the custom plans, on the
    grounds that they must be estimation errors.  In principle a generic
    plan could never really be better than a custom plan; so if it looks
    that way on a cost basis, what that probably means is that the actual
    parameter values are outliers of some sort (e.g. extremely common),
    and the custom plan "knows" that it's going to be taking a hit from
    that, but the generic plan doesn't.  In this sort of situation, going
    with the generic plan could be really disastrous, which is exactly
    what the OP is seeing (and what we've seen reported before).
    
    However, I'm not sure how to tune this idea so that it doesn't end up
    rejecting perfectly good generic plans.  It's likely that there will be
    some variation in the cost estimates between the generic and specific
    cases, even if the plan structure is exactly the same; and that
    variation could go in either direction.

    Yea, I've both seen the "generic is cheaper due to averaged selectivity"
    and the "insignificant cost variations lead to always prefer custom
    plan" problems in production.
    
    I've also - but less severely - seen that the "planning cost" we add to
    the custom plan leads to the generic plan to always be preferred. In
    particular for indexed queries, on system that set random_page_cost =
    seq_page_cost = 1 (due to SSD or expectation that workload is entirely
    cached), the added cost from cached_plan_cost() can be noticable in
    comparison to the estimated cost of the total query.

    I wonder if we couldn't do something based on having seen several
    different custom plans before we try to make this decision.  It'd be
    just about free to track the min and max custom cost estimates, along
    with their average.  The case where it is sensible to be switching to
    a generic plan is where all the plans come out looking more or less
    alike --- if the workload is such that we get markedly different plans
    for different inputs, then we'd probably better just eat the cost of
    planning every time.  So maybe the rule should be something like
    "if the min and max custom costs, as well as the generic cost
    estimate, are all within 10% of the average custom cost, then it's
    okay to switch to generic".  We might need to collect more than 5
    custom estimates before we put much faith in the decision, too.
    
    > I've also - but less severely - seen that the "planning cost" we add to

    Yeah; the planning cost business is very much of a hack, because we
    don't have a good handle on how that really relates to execution
    costs.  But if we're thinking of the decision as being risk-based,
    which is basically what I'm suggesting above, maybe we could just
    drop that whole component of the algorithm?

    Deepak,
    I changed the datatype from citext to text and now everything works fine.
    The data distribution is same, plan is same, yet there is a huge performance degradation when citext is used instead of text.
    However the business case requires case insensitive string handling.
    I am looking forward to some expert advice here when dealing with citext data type.

    I am not sure if this is very common in postges  - I doubt though but have not seen such a drastic performance degradation and that too when planner making the call.

    Distribution of the keys c400129200 and c400127400 .
    
    The distribution of c400129200 is as follows-
    In entire table having 110743 records, there are 55370 records for which the value of c400129200 is 0. For each of the remaining 55,373 records the value of c400129200 is distinct.

    It's generally a good idea to share explain analyze output for both versions of the query - both with citext and text.

    I see nothing very exciting here.  text equality comparison reduces to
    a memcmp, while citext equality comparison is quite expensive, since
    it has to case-fold both inputs before it can memcmp them.
    
    For the given test case:

    it's reasonable to suppose that not many of the rows are failing the
    c400129100 conditions, so that in order to decide that a row doesn't
    pass the filter, we are forced to perform each of the OR'd c179
    comparisons.  So this query did something like 48 * 55322 equality
    comparisons for c179.  If the cost of a citexteq evaluation is
    around 2 microseconds, that'd fully explain the runtime differential.
    
    The OP didn't say what locale or encoding he's using.  Maybe switching
    to some other settings would improve matters ... though if non-ASCII
    case folding is a business requirement, that likely won't go far.
    
    Or you could get rid of the need for the repetitive case-folding,
    say by storing lower(c179) in a separate column and doing plain
    text comparisons to pre-lowercased input values.
