PostgreSQL 9.6 黑科技 bloom 算法索引，一个索引支撑任意列组合查询-阿里云开发者社区

PostgreSQL 确实是学术界和工业界的璀璨明珠，它总是喜欢将学术界的一些玩意工业化，这次的bloom又是一个代表。
在PG很多的地方都能看到学术的影子，比如pgbench支持产生泊松分布，高斯分布的随机值。
bloom filter是一个有损过滤器，使用有限的比特位存储一些唯一值集合所产生的bits。
通过这些bits可以满足这样的场景需求，给定一个值，判断这个值是否属于这个集合。
例如

create table test(c1 int);
insert into test select trunc(random()*100000) from generate_series(1,10000);

使用所有的 test.c1 值，通过bloom filter算法生成一个值val。
然后给定一个值例如 100，判断100是否在test.c1中。

select * from test where c1=100;

通过bloom filter可以快速得到，不需要遍历表来得到。
判断方法是使用100和val以及统一的bloom算法。
可能得到的结果是true or false。
true表示100在这里面，false表示100不在这里面。
必须注意，由于bloom filter是有损过滤器，并且真的不一定为真，但是假的一定为假。

PostgreSQL 9.6使用custom access methods接口定义了一个索引接口bloom，使用到它的特性：
真的不一定为真，但是假的一定为假。
目前已实现的场景是，支持=查询，但是这个=会包含一些假的值，所以需要recheck。
反过来，它如果要支持<>也是很方便的，并且不需要recheck。
(这句话的理解是=和<>互斥, 所以=为假<>就一定为真。实际上利用了优化器中的互斥推理。
请参考 https://yq.aliyun.com/articles/6653
negator 优化选项， not(x = y) 等价于 x <> y ，
由此可以推理出
(x <> y) == not ( x = y ) == not (false) == true 是肯定的
）

(如果单独实现<>，则不能这么理解了，和单独实现=是一样的，<>为真时不一定为真，为假时一定为假。但是也能用<>的假来推理=的真
(x = y) == not ( x <> y ) == not (false) == true 是肯定的
）

使用PostgreSQL 函数接口也能实现bloom过滤器。
bloom需要m个bit位。
添加元素时，需要k个hash函数，通过每一个hash和传入的值计算得到另一个值（[0,m]）。
得到的值用于设置对应的bit位为1。
例子

创建一个类型，存储bloom。

CREATE TYPE dumbloom AS (
  m    integer,  -- bit 位数
  k    integer,  --  hash 函数数量
  -- Our bit array is actually an array of integers
  bits integer[]    --  bit
);

创建一个空的bloom ，设置false值异常设置为TRUE的概率p，设置期望存储多少个唯一值n 。

CREATE FUNCTION dumbloom_empty (
  -- 2% false probability
  p float8 DEFAULT 0.02,
  -- 100k expected uniques
  n integer DEFAULT 100000
) RETURNS dumbloom AS

$$

DECLARE
  m    integer;
  k    integer;
  i    integer;
  bits integer[];   
BEGIN
  -- Getting m and k from n and p is some math sorcery
  -- See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter#Optimal_number_of_hash_functions
  m := abs(ceil(n * ln(p) / (ln(2) ^ 2)))::integer;
  k := round(ln(2) * m / n)::integer;
  bits := NULL;

  -- Initialize all bits to 0
  FOR i in 1 .. ceil(m / 32.0) LOOP
    bits := array_append(bits, 0);
  END LOOP;

  RETURN (m, k, bits)::dumbloom;
END;

$$

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;

创建一个指纹函数，存储使用K个哈希函数得到的值，存入数组。

CREATE FUNCTION dumbloom_fingerprint (
  b    dumbloom,
  item text
) RETURNS integer[] AS 

$$

DECLARE
  h1     bigint;
  h2     bigint;
  i      integer;
  fingerprint integer[];
BEGIN
  h1 := abs(hashtext(upper(item)));
  -- If lower(item) and upper(item) are the same, h1 and h2 will be identical too,
  -- let's add some random salt
  h2 := abs(hashtext(lower(item) || 'yo dawg!'));
  finger := NULL; 

  FOR i IN 1 .. b.k LOOP
    -- This combinatorial approach works just as well as using k independent
    -- hash functions, but is obviously much faster
    -- See: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~kirsch/pubs/bbbf/esa06.pdf
    fingerprint := array_append(fingerprint, ((h1 + i * h2) % b.m)::integer);
  END LOOP;

  RETURN fingerprint;
END;

$$

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;

添加元素的函数
同样也是设置对应的bit为1

CREATE FUNCTION dumbloom_add (
  b    dumbloom,
  item text,
) RETURNS dumbloom AS 

$$

DECLARE
  i    integer;
  idx  integer;
BEGIN
  IF b IS NULL THEN
    b := dumbloom_empty();  -- 生成空bloom
  END IF;

  FOREACH i IN ARRAY dumbloom_fingerprint(b, item) LOOP  -- 设置k个哈希产生的值对应的bit位为1
    -- Postgres uses 1-indexing, hence the + 1 here
    idx := i / 32 + 1;
    b.bits[idx] := b.bits[idx] | (1 << (i % 32));
  END LOOP;

  RETURN b;
END;

$$

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;

是否包含某元素

CREATE FUNCTION dumbloom_contains (
  b    dumbloom,
  item text
) RETURNS boolean AS 

$$

DECLARE
  i   integer;
  idx integer;
BEGIN
  IF b IS NULL THEN
    RETURN FALSE;
  END IF;

  FOREACH i IN ARRAY dumbloom_fingerprint(b, item) LOOP  -- 计算k个哈希产生的值，判断是否有非1的bit, 有则返回false，如果全部为1则返回true. 
    idx := i / 32 + 1;
    IF NOT (b.bits[idx] & (1 << (i % 32)))::boolean THEN
      RETURN FALSE;
    END IF;
  END LOOP;

  RETURN TRUE;
END;

$$

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;

测试

CREATE TABLE t (
  users dumbloom
);

INSERT INTO t VALUES (dumbloom_empty());

UPDATE t SET users = dumbloom_add(users, 'usmanm');
UPDATE t SET users = dumbloom_add(users, 'billyg');
UPDATE t SET users = dumbloom_add(users, 'pipeline');

-- This first three will return true
SELECT dumbloom_contains(users, 'usmanm') FROM t;
SELECT dumbloom_contains(users, 'billyg') FROM t;
SELECT dumbloom_contains(users, 'pipeline') FROM t;
-- This will return false because we never added 'unknown' to the Bloom filter
SELECT dumbloom_contains(users, 'unknown') FROM t;

以上例子来自pipelinedb文档，用C语言写成聚合函数，可以实现流式计算。
https://www.pipelinedb.com/blog/making-postgres-bloom

接下来是PostgreSQL 9.6的例子，9.6是将它做成了索引，而不是聚合。
(如果有朋友想使用pipelinedb的bloom聚合，可以看看PIPELINEDB的代码，PORT过来)

多个字段测试，16个字段，任意测试组合，速度和recheck有关, recheck越少越好。
不仅仅支持and还支持or, 只是OR的条件是bitmap的，会慢一些。

如果使用其他的索引方法，任意条件组合查询，需要为每一种组合创建一个索引来支持。
而使用bloom索引方法，只需要创建一个索引就够了。
