Add file_fdw support for external decompressors #4
Conversation
Parse the new option and validate the the file it references actually exists and is executable.
Certain callers will need this, so provide it if found.
I was planning to concatenate the program name and file name before each `BeginCopyFrom` invocation, but it seems better to do it in the function that parses options. It's not being done yet but this sets up all the callers to expect it.
This requires escaping the filename. I went with wrapping it in single quotes and replacing single quotes with "'\''" whenever they occur. This may not be entirely appropriate for Windows installs, but this is a good-enough solution for now. See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3669819
Found some issues here and there.
Turns out it's unsafe to modify a list while iterating over it, since the delete method actually frees the node (and possibly the list, too!) rather than just updating the next/prev pointers.
The compression guess is really only used for finding out the foreign relation size if no `ANALYZE` has yet been performed.
Duplicates the agg.csv-based tests, but using a decompressor. Includes a Perl-based decompressor since the codebase already depends on Perl and I didn't want to hardcode a path to the gunzip executable.
It's OK to have single quotes in filenames.
Oops. Heh. Meant to put this in a personal fork. |
@jasonmp85 BTW, if you want to submit this you should see http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch before, since this repo is just a mirror - we don't work with pull requests on github. :) |
Nah, it was for an internal exercise. Not intended for a patch. Kind of annoying that you can disable issues and wikis for an org but not pull request. This was just a misfired |
Ah, ok. :) |
When a subtransaction is aborted in plpython because of an SPI exception, it tries to find a matching python exception in a hash `PLy_spi_exceptions` and to make python vm raise it. That hash is generated during module initialization, but the exception objects are not marked to prevent the garbage collector from collecting them, which can lead to a segmentation fault when processing any SPI exception. PoC to reproduce the issue: ```sql CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION server_crashes() RETURNS VOID AS $$ import gc gc.collect() plan = plpy.prepare('SELECT raises_an_spi_exception();', []) plpy.execute(plan) $$ LANGUAGE plpythonu; CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION raises_an_spi_exception() RETURNS VOID AS $$ DECLARE sql TEXT; BEGIN sql = format('%I', NULL); -- NullValueNotAllowed END $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT server_crashes(); -- segfault here ``` Stacktrace of the problem (using PostgreSQL `REL9_5_STABLE` and python `2.7.3-0ubuntu3.8` on a Ubuntu 12.04): ``` Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007f3155c7670b in PyObject_Call (func=0x7f31b7db2a30, arg=0x7f31b87d17d0, kw=0x0) at ../Objects/abstract.c:2525 2525 ../Objects/abstract.c: No such file or directory.

refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL query to construct the "diff" table: 1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate. 2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column datatype's default btree opclass. 3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees. 4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a security bug before CVE-2018-1058.) 5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns. The way to fix #4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c. While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions, and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch the whole thing to 9.4 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13836.1521413227@sss.pgh.pa.us

This change augments the file foreign data wrapper by adding a new
decompressor
option, whose value must be the path to an executablewhich will be used to read
filename
. The contract is that the binarywill receive the filename as its sole argument and must decode it to
standard out.
If no decompressor is specified,
file_fdw
behaves as before.
