PgSQL · 代码浅析 · PostgreSQL 9.6 聚合OP复用的优化分析

Author: digoal

背景

聚合操作指将分组的数据聚合为一个结果输出。

聚合通常用在统计应用中,例如统计分组的最大值,最小值,记录数,平均值,方差,截距,相关性。

聚合也可能被用于文本分析或者图像分析等,例如最佳相似度,行列变换,聚合为数组或JSON,图像堆叠等。

因此聚合通常需要启动值,行的处理,以及结果的格式转换3个过程。

PostgreSQL的聚合也包含了以上三个过程,创建一个聚合函数的语法如下:

CREATE AGGREGATE name ( [ argmode ] [ argname ] arg_data_type [ , ... ] ) (
    SFUNC = sfunc,
    STYPE = state_data_type
    [ , SSPACE = state_data_size ]
    [ , FINALFUNC = ffunc ]
    [ , FINALFUNC_EXTRA ]
    [ , COMBINEFUNC = combinefunc ]
    [ , SERIALFUNC = serialfunc ]
    [ , DESERIALFUNC = deserialfunc ]
    [ , INITCOND = initial_condition ]
    [ , MSFUNC = msfunc ]
    [ , MINVFUNC = minvfunc ]
    [ , MSTYPE = mstate_data_type ]
    [ , MSSPACE = mstate_data_size ]
    [ , MFINALFUNC = mffunc ]
    [ , MFINALFUNC_EXTRA ]
    [ , MINITCOND = minitial_condition ]
    [ , SORTOP = sort_operator ]
    [ , PARALLEL = { SAFE | RESTRICTED | UNSAFE } ]
)

例子

CREATE AGGREGATE avg (float8)
(
    sfunc = float8_accum,
    stype = float8[],
    finalfunc = float8_avg,
    initcond = '{0,0,0}'
);

PostgreSQL 聚合处理流程如图

pic1

  1. 使用initcond指定internal-state的初始值,没有则为空。

  2. 每条记录(作为next-data-values输入),调用 sfunc( internal-state, next-data-values ) —> next-internal-state
    输出的结果作为中间结果继续调用sfunc

  3. ffunc( internal-state ) —> aggregate-value 可选,作为结果转换使用

9.6 聚合OP优化

pic2

如果initcond与sfunc一致,在同一个聚合分组内,sfunc只需要计算一遍所有记录,而不需要计算多遍。

Share transition state between different aggregates when possible.

If there are two different aggregates in the query with same inputs, 
and the aggregates have the same initial condition and transition function,
only calculate the state value once, and only call the final functionsseparately. 
For example, AVG(x) and SUM(x) aggregates have the same transition function, which accumulates the sum and number of input tuples.
For a query like "SELECT AVG(x), SUM(x) FROM x", we can therefore accumulate the state function only once, which gives a nice speedup.

我们可以通过以下SQL查看可以共享OP的聚合函数,rank一致的都可以共享。

postgres=# select rank() over (partition by 1 order by aggtransfn,agginitval),
           row_number() over (partition by aggtransfn,agginitval order by aggfnoid) rn,

9.6的优化效果很明显,在没有使用并行的情况下,聚合操作已经有约5倍的性能提升。

结果对比

版本 9.6 9.5 9.6并行(32)

小结

在统计学中,大多数的统计算法的中间结果都是可以共用的,例如sum,avg; 方差,相关性,count,sum等运算;

PostgreSQL 9.6很好的抓住了这样的特征,对初始条件一致,中间算法一致的聚合函数,在同一个分组中数据只需要计算一遍,大大降低了CPU的开销,提高了统计效率。

这个思路与LLVM有一些神似的地方,不过LLVM的适用场景更广。
