Peter Geoghegan 1e55e7d175 Add wraparound failsafe to VACUUM. 
Add a failsafe mechanism that is triggered by VACUUM when it notices
that the table's relfrozenxid and/or relminmxid are dangerously far in
the past.  VACUUM checks the age of the table dynamically, at regular
intervals.

When the failsafe triggers, VACUUM takes extraordinary measures to
finish as quickly as possible so that relfrozenxid and/or relminmxid can
be advanced.  VACUUM will stop applying any cost-based delay that may be
in effect.  VACUUM will also bypass any further index vacuuming and heap
vacuuming -- it only completes whatever remaining pruning and freezing
is required.  Bypassing index/heap vacuuming is enabled by commit
8523492d, which made it possible to dynamically trigger the mechanism
already used within VACUUM when it is run with INDEX_CLEANUP off.

It is expected that the failsafe will almost always trigger within an
autovacuum to prevent wraparound, long after the autovacuum began.
However, the failsafe mechanism can trigger in any VACUUM operation.
Even in a non-aggressive VACUUM, where we're likely to not advance
relfrozenxid, it still seems like a good idea to finish off remaining
pruning and freezing.   An aggressive/anti-wraparound VACUUM will be
launched immediately afterwards.  Note that the anti-wraparound VACUUM
that follows will itself trigger the failsafe, usually before it even
begins its first (and only) pass over the heap.

The failsafe is controlled by two new GUCs: vacuum_failsafe_age, and
vacuum_multixact_failsafe_age.  There are no equivalent reloptions,
since that isn't expected to be useful.  The GUCs have rather high
defaults (both default to 1.6 billion), and are expected to generally
only be used to make the failsafe trigger sooner/more frequently.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
