Обсуждение: Asymmetric partition-wise JOIN
Hello,
PostgreSQL optimizer right now considers join pairs on only
non-partition - non-partition or
partition-leaf - partition-leaf relations. On the other hands, it is
harmless and makes sense to
consider a join pair on non-partition - partition-leaf.
See the example below. ptable is partitioned by hash, and contains 10M
rows. ftable is not
partitioned and contains 50 rows. Most of ptable::fkey shall not have
matched rows in this
join.
create table ptable (fkey int, dist text) partition by hash (dist);
create table ptable_p0 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 0);
create table ptable_p1 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 1);
create table ptable_p2 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 2);
insert into ptable (select x % 10000, md5(x::text) from
generate_series(1,10000000) x);
create table ftable (pkey int primary key, memo text);
insert into ftable (select x, 'ftable__#' || x::text from
generate_series(1,50) x);
vacuum analyze;
postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from ptable p, ftable f
where p.fkey = f.pkey;

We can manually rewrite this query as follows:
postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from (
select * from ptable_p0 p, ftable f where p.fkey =
f.pkey union all
select * from ptable_p1 p, ftable f where p.fkey =
f.pkey union all
select * from ptable_p2 p, ftable f where p.fkey = f.pkey) subqry;
Because Append does not process tuples that shall have no matched
tuples in ftable,
this query has cheaper cost and short query execution time.
(2333ms --> 1396ms)
postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from (
select * from ptable_p0 p, ftable f where p.fkey =
f.pkey union all
select * from ptable_p1 p, ftable f where p.fkey =

How about your opinions for this kind of asymmetric partition-wise
JOIN support by the optimizer?
I think we can harmlessly push-down inner-join and left-join if
partition-leaf is left side.
Probably, we need to implement two key functionalities.
1. Construction of RelOpInfo for join on non-partition table and
partition-leafs for each pairs.
Instead of JoinPaths, this logic adds AppendPath that takes
asymmetric partition-wise join
paths as sub-paths. Other optimization logic is equivalent as we
are currently doing.
2. Allow to share the hash-table built from table scan distributed to
individual partition leafs.
In the above example, SeqScan on ftable and relevant Hash path
will make identical hash-
table for the upcoming hash-join. If sibling paths have equivalent
results, it is reasonable to
reuse it.

Hello,
Even though nobody has respond the thread, I tried to make a prototype of
the asymmetric partition-wise join support.
This feature tries to join non-partitioned and partitioned relation
before append.
See the example below:
create table ptable (dist int, a int, b int) partition by hash (dist);
create table ptable_p0 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 0);
create table ptable_p1 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 1);
create table ptable_p2 partition of ptable for values with (modulus 3,
remainder 2);
create table t1 (aid int, label text);
create table t2 (bid int, label text);
insert into ptable (select x, (1000*random())::int,
(1000*random())::int from generate_series(1,1000000) x);
insert into t1 (select x, md5(x::text) from generate_series(1,50) x);
insert into t2 (select x, md5(x::text) from generate_series(1,50) x);
vacuum analyze ptable;
vacuum analyze t1;
vacuum analyze t2;
ptable.a has values between 0 and 1000, and t1.aid has values between 1 and 50.
Therefore, tables join on ptable and t1 by a=aid can reduce almost 95% rows.
On the other hands, t1 is not partitioned and join-keys are not partition keys.
So, Append must process million rows first, then HashJoin processes
the rows read
from the partitioned table, and 95% of them are eventually dropped.
On the other words, 95% of jobs by Append are waste of time and CPU cycles.
postgres=# explain select * from ptable, t1 where a = aid;
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hash Join (cost=2.12..24658.62 rows=49950 width=49)
Hash Cond: (ptable_p0.a = t1.aid)

-> Seq Scan on ptable_p0 (cost=0.00..5134.63 rows=333263 width=12)
-> Seq Scan on ptable_p1 (cost=0.00..5137.97 rows=333497 width=12)

-> Hash (cost=1.50..1.50 rows=50 width=37)
-> Seq Scan on t1 (cost=0.00..1.50 rows=50 width=37)
(8 rows)
The asymmetric partitionwise join allows to join non-partitioned tables and
partitioned tables prior to Append.

SET
postgres=# explain select * from ptable, t1 where a = aid;

-> Hash (cost=1.50..1.50 rows=50 width=37)
-> Seq Scan on t1 (cost=0.00..1.50 rows=50 width=37)
(16 rows)
We can consider the table join ptable X t1 above is equivalent to:
(ptable_p0 + ptable_p1 + ptable_p2) X t1
= (ptable_p0 X t1) + (ptable_p1 X t1) + (ptable_p2 X t1)
It returns an equivalent result, however, rows are already reduced by HashJoin
in the individual leaf of Append, so CPU-cycles consumed by Append node can
be cheaper.
On the other hands, it has a downside because t1 must be read 3 times and
hash table also must be built 3 times. It increases the expected cost,
so planner
may not choose the asymmetric partition-wise join plan.
One idea I have is, sibling HashJoin shares a hash table that was built once
by any of the sibling Hash plan. Right now, it is not implemented yet.
How about your thought for this feature?

So you get: ptable X t1 = (ptable_p0 X (σ hash(dist)%4=0 (t1))) + (ptable_p1 X (σ hash(dist)%4=1 (t1))) + (ptable_p2 X (σ hash(dist)%4=2 (t1))) + (ptable_p3 X (σ hash(dist)%4=3 (t1))) Pros: 1. The hash tables will not contain unnecessary junk. 2. You'll get the right answer if t1 is on the outer side of an outer join. 3. If this runs underneath a Parallel Append and t1 is big enough then workers will hopefully cooperate and do a synchronised scan of t1. 4. The filter might enable a selective and efficient plan like an index scan. Cons: 1. The filter might not enable a selective and efficient plan, and therefore cause extra work. (It's a little weird in this example because don't usually see hash functions in WHERE clauses, but that could just as easily be dist BETWEEN 1 AND 99 or any other partition constraint.) > One idea I have is, sibling HashJoin shares a hash table that was built once > by any of the sibling Hash plan. Right now, it is not implemented yet. Yeah, I've thought a little bit about that in the context of Parallel Repartition. I'm interested in combining intra-node partitioning (where a single plan node repartitions data among workers on the fly) with inter-node partitioning (like PWJ, where partitions are handled by different parts of the plan, considered at planning time); you finish up needing to have nodes in the plan that 'receive' tuples for each partition, to match up with the PWJ plan structure. That's not entirely unlike CTE references, and not entirely unlike your idea of somehow sharing the same hash table. I ran into a number of problems while thinking about that, which I should write about in another thread. -- Thomas Munro https://enterprisedb.com

It requires the join-key must include the partition key and also must be
equality-join, doesn't it?
If ptable and t1 are joined using ptable.dist = t1.foo, we can distribute
t1 for each leaf table with "WHERE hash(foo)%4 = xxx" according to
the partition bounds, indeed.
In case when some of partition leafs are pruned, it is exactly beneficial
because relevant rows to be referenced by the pruned child relations
are waste of memory.
On the other hands, it eventually consumes almost equivalent amount
of memory to load the inner relations, if no leafs are pruned, and if we
could extend the Hash-node to share the hash-table with sibling join-nodess.

Hmm. Do you intend the inner-path may have different behavior according
to the partition bounds definition where the outer-path to be joined?
Let me investigate its pros & cons.
The reasons why I think the idea of sharing the same hash table is reasonable
in this scenario are:
1. We can easily extend the idea for parallel optimization. A hash table on DSM
segment, once built, can be shared by all the siblings in all the
parallel workers.
2. We can save the memory consumption regardless of the join-keys and
partition-keys, even if these are not involved in the query.
On the other hands, below are the downside. Potentially, combined use of
your idea may help these cases:
3. Distributed inner-relation cannot be outer side of XXX OUTER JOIN.
4. Hash table contains rows to be referenced by only pruned partition leafs.

Hello, This crash was reproduced on our environment also. It looks to me adjust_child_relids_multilevel() didn't expect a case when supplied 'relids' (partially) indicate normal and non-partitioned relation. It tries to build a new 'parent_relids' that is a set of appinfo->parent_relid related to the supplied 'child_relids'. However, bits in child_relids that indicate normal relations are unintentionally dropped here. Then, adjust_child_relids_multilevel() goes to an infinite recursion until stack limitation. The attached v2 fixed the problem, and regression test finished correctly.

I return the patch to commitfest. My current reason differs from reason
of origin author.
This patch can open a door for more complex optimizations in the
partitionwise join push-down technique.
I mean, we can push-down join not only of two partitioned tables with
the same partition schema, but a partitioned (sharded) table with an
arbitrary subplan that is provable independent of local resources.
Example:
CREATE TABLE p(a int) PARTITION BY HASH (a);
CREATE TABLE p1 PARTITION OF p FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 3, REMAINDER 0);
CREATE TABLE p2 PARTITION OF p FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 3, REMAINDER 1);
CREATE TABLE p3 PARTITION OF p FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 3, REMAINDER 2);
SELECT * FROM p, (SELECT * FROM generate_series(1,2) AS a) AS s
WHERE p.a=s.a;
Hash Join
Hash Cond: (p.a = a.a)
-> Append
-> Seq Scan on p1 p_1
-> Seq Scan on p2 p_2
-> Seq Scan on p3 p_3
-> Hash
-> Function Scan on generate_series a
But with asymmetric join feature we have the plan:
Append
-> Hash Join
Hash Cond: (p_1.a = a.a)
-> Seq Scan on p1 p_1
-> Hash
-> Function Scan on generate_series a
-> Hash Join
Hash Cond: (p_2.a = a.a)
-> Seq Scan on p2 p_2
-> Hash
-> Function Scan on generate_series a
-> Hash Join
Hash Cond: (p_3.a = a.a)
-> Seq Scan on p3 p_3
-> Hash
-> Function Scan on generate_series a
In the case of FDW-sharding it means that if we can prove that the inner
relation is independent from the execution server, we can push-down
these joins and execute it in parallel.

You've changed function to copy appinfo, so now comment is incorrect.
src/backend/optimizer/util/appendinfo.c:
588 /* Construct relids set for the immediate parent of the

589 normal_relids = bms_copy(child_relids);
590 for (cnt = 0; cnt < nappinfos; cnt++)

594 parent_relids = bms_add_member(parent_relids,
appinfo->parent_relid);

appinfo->child_relid);
596 }
597 parent_relids = bms_union(parent_relids, normal_relids);
Do I understand correctly that now parent_relids also contains relids of
relations from 'global' inner relation, which we join to childs?

The problem was in the adjust_child_relids_multilevel routine. The tmp_result variable sometimes points to original required_outer. This patch adds new ways which optimizer can generate plans. One possible way is optimizer reparameterizes an inner by a plain relation from the outer (maybe as a result of join of the plain relation and partitioned relation).

Hi.
The patch does not longer apply cleanly, so I rebased it. Attaching
rebased version.
I've looked through it once again and have several questions.
1) In adjust_appendrel_attrs_multilevel(), can it happen that
child_relids is zero-length list (in this case pfree's will fail)? It
seems, no, but should we at least assert this? Note that in
adjust_appendrel_attrs() we add logic for nappinfos being 0.
2) In try_asymmetric_partitionwise_join() we state that 'Asymmetric join
isn't needed if the append node has only one child'. This is not
completely correct. Asymmetric join with one partition can be
advantageous when JOIN(A, UNION(B)) is more expensive than UNION(JOIN
(A, B)). The later is true, for example, when we join partitioned table
having foreign partitions with another foreign table and only one
partition is left.
Let's take the attached case (foreign_join.sql). When
list_length(append_path->subpaths) > 1 is present, we get the following
plan
set enable_partitionwise_join = on;
explain SELECT t1.a,t2.b FROM fprt1 t1 INNER JOIN ftprt2_p1 t2 ON (t1.a
= t2.b) WHERE t1.a < 250 AND t2.c like '%0004' ORDER BY 1,2;
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sort (cost=208.65..208.69 rows=17 width=8)
Sort Key: t1.a
-> Hash Join (cost=202.60..208.30 rows=17 width=8)
Hash Cond: (t1.a = t2.b)
-> Foreign Scan on ftprt1_p1 t1 (cost=100.00..105.06 rows=125
width=4)
-> Hash (cost=102.39..102.39 rows=17 width=4)
-> Foreign Scan on ftprt2_p1 t2 (cost=100.00..102.39
rows=17 width=4)
In case when we change it to list_length(append_path->subpaths) > 0, we
get foreign join and cheaper plan:
explain verbose SELECT t1.a,t2.b FROM fprt1 t1 INNER JOIN ftprt2_p1 t2
ON (t1.a = t2.b) WHERE t1.a < 250 AND t2.c like '%0004' ORDER BY 1,2;

Hi Alexander, Hi Andrey, Thank you for your work on this subject. On Mon, Jan 17, 2022 at 1:42 PM Alexander Pyhalov <a.pyhalov@postgrespro.ru> wrote: > The patch does not longer apply cleanly, so I rebased it. Attaching > rebased version. Not surprising that the patch doesn't apply after 1.5 years since the last message. Could you please rebase it? I read the thread and the patch. The patch improves the joining of partitioned tables with non-partitioned relations. Let's denote non-partitioned relation as A, partitions as P1 ... PN. The patch allows to Append(Join(A, P1), ... Join(A, PN) instead of Join(A, Append(P1, ... PN). That could be cheaper because it's generally cheaper to join small pieces rather than do one big join. The drawback is the need to scan A multiple times. But is this really necessary and acceptable? Let's consider multiple options. 1) A is non-table. For instance, A is a function scan. In this case, doing multiple scans of A is not just expensive, but could lead to unexpected side effects. When the user includes a function once in the FROM clause, she expects this function to be evaluated once. I propose that we should materialize a scan of non-table relations. So, materialized representation will be scanned multiple times, but the source only scanned once. That would be similar to CTE. 2) A is the table to be scanned with the parametrized path in the inner part of the nested loop join. In this case, there is no big scan of A and nothing to materialize. 3) A is the table to be used in merge join or outer part of nested loop join. In this case, it would be nice to consider materialize. It's not always good to materialize, because materialization has its additional costs. I think that could be a cost-based decision. 4) A is used in the hash join. Could we re-use the hashed representation of A between multiple joins? I read upthread it was proposed to share a hashed table between multiple background workers via shared memory. But the first step would be to just share it between multiple join nodes within the same process. As we consider joining with each partition individually, there could be chosen different join methods. As I get, the current patch considers joining with each of the partitions as a separate isolated optimization task. However, if we share resources between the multiple joins, then rises a need for some global optimization. For instance, a join type could be expensive when applied to an individual partition, but cheap when applied to all the partitions thanks to saving the common work. My idea is to consider generated common resources (such as materialized scans) as a property of the path. For instance, if the nested loop join is cheaper than the hash join, but the hash join generates a common hash map of table A, we don't drop hash join immediately from the consideration and leave it to see how it could help join other partitions. What do you think? ------ Regards, Alexander Korotkov

What do you think? Thanks for such detailed feedback! The rationale for this patch was to give the optimizer additional ways to push down more joins into foreign servers. And, because of asynchronous append, the benefit of that optimization was obvious. Unfortunately, we hadn't found other applications for this feature, which was why this patch was postponed in the core. You have brought new ideas about applying this idea locally. Moreover, the main issue of the patch was massive memory consumption in the case of many joins and partitions - because of reparameterization. But now, postponing the reparameterization proposed in the thread [1] resolves that problem and gives some insights into the reparameterization technique of some fields, like lateral references. Hence, I think we can restart this work. The first thing here (after rebase, of course) is to figure out and implement in the cost model cases of effectiveness when asymmetric join would give significant performance.

I'm looking forward to the revised patch Before preparing a new patch, it would be better to find the common ground in the next issue: So far, this optimization stays aside, proposing an alternative path for a join RelOptInfo if we have an underlying append path in the outer. My back burner is redesigning the approach: asymmetric join doesn't change the partitioning scheme and bounds of the partitioned side. So, it looks consecutive to make it a part of partitionwise_join machinery and implement it as a part of the try_partitionwise_join / generate_partitionwise_join_paths routines. -- regards, Andrey Lepikhov Postgres Professional

It might be possible to come up with such an example without writing any code. The idea would be to rewrite SQL as union of joins. Whenever I visited this idea, I hit one issue prominently - how would we differentiate different scans of the non-partitioned relation. Normally we do that using different Relids but in this case we wouldn't be able to know the number of such relations involved in the query unless we start planning such a join. It's late to add new base relations and assign them new Relids. Of course I haven't thought hard about it. I haven't looked at the patch to see whether this problem is solved and how. -- Best Wishes, Ashutosh Bapat

Using the same example as Alexander Korotkov, let's say A is the nonpartitioned table and P is partitioned table with partitions P1, P2, ... Pn. The partitionwise join would need to compute AP1, AP2, ... APn. Each of these joins may have different properties and thus will require creating paths. In order to save these paths, we need RelOptInfos which are indentified by relids. Let's assume that the relids of these join RelOptInfos are created by union of relid of A and relid of Px (the partition being joined). This is notionally misleading but doable. But the clauses of A parameterized by P will produce different translations for each of the partitions. I think we will need different RelOptInfos (for A) to store these translations. The relid is also used to track the scans at executor level. Since we have so many scans on A, each may be using different plan, we will need different ids for those. But if you have developed a way to use a single RelOptInfo of A to do all this, may be we don't need all this. Will take a look at your next version of patch. -- Best Wishes, Ashutosh Bapat

Ok, now I see your disquiet. In current patch we have built RelOptInfo for each JOIN(A, Pi) by the build_child_join_rel() routine. And of course, they all have different sets of cheapest paths (it is one more point of optimality). At this point the RelOptInfo of relation A is fully formed and upper joins use the pathlist "as is", without changes. > But the clauses of A parameterized by P will produce different > translations for each of the partitions.

There are other problematic areas like EvalPlanQual, Rescans, reparameterised paths which can blow up if we use the same RelOptInfo for different scans of the same relation. It will be good to test those. And also A need not be a simple relation; it could be join as well. > > > The relid is also used to track the scans at executor level.

It will be good to test Yeah, now I got it. It is already the second place where I see some reference to a kind of hidden rule that the rte entry (or RelOptInfo) must correspond to only one plan node. I don't have a quick answer for now - maybe it is a kind of architectural agreement - and I will consider this issue during the development. > those.

For a join RelOptInfo, as well as for any subtree, we have the same logic: the pathlist of this subtree is already formed during the previous level of the search and will not be changed. >> >>> The relid is also used to track the scans at executor level.

Revising the code and opinions before restarting this work, I found two different possible strategies mentioned in the thread: 1. 'Common Resources' shares the materialised result of the inner table scan (a hash table in the case of HashJoin) to join each partition one by one. It gives us a profit in the case of parallel append and possibly other cases, like the one shown in the initial message. 2. 'Individual strategies' - By limiting the AJ feature to cases when the JOIN clause contains a partitioning expression, we can push an additional scan clause into each copy of the inner table scan, reduce the number of tuples scanned, and even prune something because of proven zero input. I see the pros and cons of both approaches. The first option is more straightforward, and its outcome is obvious in the case of parallel append. But how can we guarantee the same join type for each join? Why should we ignore the positive effect of different strategies for different partitions? The second strategy is more expensive for the optimiser, especially in the multipartition case. But as I can predict, it is easier to implement and looks more natural for the architecture. What do you think about that? -- regards, Andrei Lepikhov Postgres Professional

I've analysed the danger of the same RelOptInfo index for the executor. In the examples I found (scared), it is still not a problem because ExecQual() does all the jobs at one operation and doesn't intersect with over operations. Of course, it is not a good design, and we will work on this issue. But at least this code can be used in experiments. Furthermore, I've shared some reflections on this feature. To avoid cluttering the thread, I've published them in [1]. These thoughts provide additional context and considerations for our ongoing work.
