Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Attribute-level FPMs and rel extension batching

To reduce the non-contuguity of blocks for attribute and tid tree
(especially leaves), which in turn improves I/O readahead and I/O
performance, we introduced the following:

1. Attribute level FPM
2. A new reloption: zedstore_rel_extension_factor, which designates the
number of blocks that will be fetched from the storage manager when we
request a single block. Out of the blocks fetched from the storage
manager, 1 block will be returned (to meet the request for a single
block) and the rest will be prepended to the attribute-level FPM.

From now on, the table level FPM, in ZSMetaPageOpaque, will only serve
UNDO pages.

Even TOAST pages, given their access pattern of being accessed
immediately following an attribute leaf, will be served from the
attribute-level FPM.

By increasing zedstore_rel_extension_factor (such as 16, 32, 512, 4096
etc.) in our experiments, we found that we get a very significant
reduction in I/O time for reads (as reported by track_io_timing and
explain (analyze, verbose, timing, buffers)) on rotational disks and
especially where the data was loaded into the same table by many
concurrent sessions (such as 16).

Notes:

1. We also use the term attribute-level FPM when we refer to the tid
tree (attno = 0).
2. Since we store the FPM heads for each attribute in the meta-page, we
hit the limit on the number of columns we can support. This causes the extra
wide table test to fail in create_table.sql and sanity_check.out. Added
FIXMEs for them to be done when we tackle meta-page overflow.

Discussion (including benchmarks):

 Free Pages Map
 --------------
 
-There is a simple Free Pages Map, which is just a linked list of unused
-blocks. The block number of the first unused page in the list is stored
+The Free Page Map structure used in Zedstore is simply a linked list of unused
+blocks. There are multiple free page maps, with one free page map for the table,
+to cater to allocation requests for UNDO pages. There is a free page map for the
+tid tree and a separate free page map for each attribute (we use the term
+attribute-level free page map for the free page map for the tid tree as well,
+considering it as attribute 0).
+The block number of the first unused page for each of these lists is stored
 in the metapage. Each unused block contains link to the next unused
 block in the chain. When a block comes unused, it is added to the
 head of the list.
 
+By batching page allocations and by having attribute-level free page maps, we
+ensure that each attribute B-tree gets more contiguous ranges of blocks, even under
+concurrent inserts to the same table to allow I/O readahead to be effective.
+The batching factor we use is the reloption: zedstore_rel_extension_factor.
+
 TODO: That doesn't scale very well, and the pages are reused in LIFO
 order. We'll probably want to do something smarter to avoid making the
-metapage a bottleneck for this, as well as try to batch the page
-allocations so that each attribute B-tree would get contiguous ranges
-of blocks, to allow I/O readahead to be effective.
+metapage a bottleneck for this.
