Add information to rm_redo_error_callback()

Hi hackers,

I've attached a small patch to add information to rm_redo_error_callback().

The changes attached in this patch came while working on the "Add 
information during standby recovery conflicts" patch (See [1]).

The goal is to add more information during the callback (if doable), so 
that something like:

2020-08-04 14:42:57.545 UTC [15459] CONTEXT:  WAL redo at 0/4A3B0DE0 for 
Heap2/CLEAN: remxid 1168

would get extra information that way:

2020-08-04 14:42:57.545 UTC [15459] CONTEXT:  WAL redo at 0/4A3B0DE0 for 
Heap2/CLEAN: remxid 1168, blkref #0: rel 1663/13586/16850 fork main blk 0

As this could be useful outside of [1], a dedicated "sub" patch has been 
created (thanks Sawada for the suggestion).

I will add this patch to the next commitfest. I look forward to your 
feedback about the idea and/or implementation.

Regards,

Bertrand

Thank you for starting the new thread for this patch!

I think this patch is simple enough and improves information shown in
errcontext.

I have two comments on the patch:

               (uint32) (record->ReadRecPtr >> 32),

rnode, forknum and blknum can be declared within the for loop.

I think it's better to put a new line just before the comment starting
from "translator:".

Thanks for looking at it!

I've attached a new version as per your comments.

Thank you for updating the patch!

The patch looks good to me. I've set this patch as Ready for Committer.

+       for (block_id = 0; block_id <= record->max_block_id; block_id++)
+       {
+               RelFileNode rnode;

Doesn't this potentially create duplicate information in some of the
RM's desc() callbacks, and are we sure that the information provided
is worth having for all the RMs?  As one example, gin_desc() looks at
some of the block information, so there are overlaps.  It may be
worth thinking about showing more information for has_image and
apply_image if a block is in_use?

Yeah, there is duplicate information in some RMs. I thought that we
can change individual RM’s desc() functions to output the block
information but as long as I see the pg_waldump outputs these are not
annoying to me and many of RM’s desc() doesn’t show the block
information.

Yes. I’m okay with adding information for has_image and apply_image
but IMHO I'm not sure how these shown in errcontext would help. If an
error related to has_image or apply_image happens, errmsg should show
something detailed information about FPI.

Having this "pg_waldump" kind of format in this place 
(rm_redo_error_callback()) ensures that we'll always see the same piece 
of information during rm_redo.

I think it's good to guarantee that we'll always see the same piece of 
information (should a new RM desc() be created in the future for 
example), even if it could lead to some information overlap in some cases.

I am ok too, but I am also not sure that errcontext is the right place 
for that.

I agree.

I think we should treat the changes to remove rm_desc-specific info
items that are redundant as separate improvements that don't need to
block this patch.  They would be, at worst, only minor annoyances.
And the removal, as was said, can affect other things that we might want
to think about separately.

Hmm.  I still think that knowing at least about a FPW could be an
interesting piece of information even here.  Anyway, instead of
copying a logic that exists already in xlog_outrec(), why not moving
the block information print into a separate routine out of the
WAL_DEBUG section, and just reuse the same format for the context of
the redo error callback?  That would also be more consistent with what
we do in pg_waldump where we don't show the fork name of a block when
it is on a MAIN_FORKNUM.  And this would avoid a third copy of the
same logic.  If we add the XID, previous LSN and the record length
on the stack of what is printed, we could just reuse the existing
routine, still that's perhaps too much information displayed.

Seeing nothing, I took a swing at that, and finished with the
attached that refactors the logic and prints the block information as
wanted.  Any objections to that?

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for looking at it!

Had a look at it and did a few tests: looks all good to me.

No objections at all, thanks!
