/*----------
 * Operator selectivity estimation functions are called to estimate the
 * selectivity of WHERE clauses whose top-level operator is their operator.
 * We divide the problem into two cases:
 *      Restriction clause estimation: the clause involves vars of just
 *          one relation.
 *      Join clause estimation: the clause involves vars of multiple rels.
 * Join selectivity estimation is far more difficult and usually less accurate
 * than restriction estimation.
 *
 * When dealing with the inner scan of a nestloop join, we consider the
 * join's joinclauses as restriction clauses for the inner relation, and
 * treat vars of the outer relation as parameters (a/k/a constants of unknown
 * values).  So, restriction estimators need to be able to accept an argument
 * telling which relation is to be treated as the variable.
 *
 * The call convention for a restriction estimator (oprrest function) is
 *
 *      Selectivity oprrest (PlannerInfo *root,
 *                           Oid operator,
 *                           List *args,
 *                           int varRelid);
 *
 * root: general information about the query (rtable and RelOptInfo lists
 * are particularly important for the estimator).
 * operator: OID of the specific operator in question.
 * args: argument list from the operator clause.
 * varRelid: if not zero, the relid (rtable index) of the relation to
 * be treated as the variable relation.  May be zero if the args list
 * is known to contain vars of only one relation.
 *
 * This is represented at the SQL level (in pg_proc) as
 *
 *      float8 oprrest (internal, oid, internal, int4);
 *
 * The result is a selectivity, that is, a fraction (0 to 1) of the rows
 * of the relation that are expected to produce a TRUE result for the
 * given operator.
 *
 * The call convention for a join estimator (oprjoin function) is similar
 * except that varRelid is not needed, and instead join information is
 * supplied:
 *
 *      Selectivity oprjoin (PlannerInfo *root,
 *                           Oid operator,
 *                           List *args,
 *                           JoinType jointype,
 *                           SpecialJoinInfo *sjinfo);
 *
 *      float8 oprjoin (internal, oid, internal, int2, internal);
 *
 * (Before Postgres 8.4, join estimators had only the first four of these
 * parameters.  That signature is still allowed, but deprecated.)  The
 * relationship between jointype and sjinfo is explained in the comments for
 * clause_selectivity() --- the short version is that jointype is usually
 * best ignored in favor of examining sjinfo.
 *
 * Join selectivity for regular inner and outer joins is defined as the
 * fraction (0 to 1) of the cross product of the relations that is expected
 * to produce a TRUE result for the given operator.  For both semi and anti
 * joins, however, the selectivity is defined as the fraction of the left-hand
 * side relation's rows that are expected to have a match (ie, at least one
 * row with a TRUE result) in the right-hand side.
 *
 * For both oprrest and oprjoin functions, the operator's input collation OID
 * (if any) is passed using the standard fmgr mechanism, so that the estimator
 * function can fetch it with PG_GET_COLLATION().  Note, however, that all
 * statistics in pg_statistic are currently built using the database's default
 * collation.  Thus, in most cases where we are looking at statistics, we
 * should ignore the actual operator collation and use DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID.
 * We expect that the error induced by doing this is usually not large enough
 * to justify complicating matters.

/*
 * estimate_num_groups      - Estimate number of groups in a grouped query
 *
 * Given a query having a GROUP BY clause, estimate how many groups there
 * will be --- ie, the number of distinct combinations of the GROUP BY
 * expressions.
 *
 * This routine is also used to estimate the number of rows emitted by
 * a DISTINCT filtering step; that is an isomorphic problem.  (Note:
 * actually, we only use it for DISTINCT when there's no grouping or
 * aggregation ahead of the DISTINCT.)
 *
 * Inputs:
 *  root - the query
 *  groupExprs - list of expressions being grouped by
 *  input_rows - number of rows estimated to arrive at the group/unique
 *      filter step
 *  pgset - NULL, or a List** pointing to a grouping set to filter the
 *      groupExprs against
 *
 * Given the lack of any cross-correlation statistics in the system, it's
 * impossible to do anything really trustworthy with GROUP BY conditions
 * involving multiple Vars.  We should however avoid assuming the worst
 * case (all possible cross-product terms actually appear as groups) since
 * very often the grouped-by Vars are highly correlated.  Our current approach
 * is as follows:
 *  1.  Expressions yielding boolean are assumed to contribute two groups,
 *      independently of their content, and are ignored in the subsequent
 *      steps.  This is mainly because tests like "col IS NULL" break the
 *      heuristic used in step 2 especially badly.
 *  2.  Reduce the given expressions to a list of unique Vars used.  For
 *      example, GROUP BY a, a + b is treated the same as GROUP BY a, b.
 *      It is clearly correct not to count the same Var more than once.
 *      It is also reasonable to treat f(x) the same as x: f() cannot
 *      increase the number of distinct values (unless it is volatile,
 *      which we consider unlikely for grouping), but it probably won't
 *      reduce the number of distinct values much either.
 *      As a special case, if a GROUP BY expression can be matched to an
 *      expressional index for which we have statistics, then we treat the
 *      whole expression as though it were just a Var.
 *  3.  If the list contains Vars of different relations that are known equal
 *      due to equivalence classes, then drop all but one of the Vars from each
 *      known-equal set, keeping the one with smallest estimated # of values
 *      (since the extra values of the others can't appear in joined rows).
 *      Note the reason we only consider Vars of different relations is that
 *      if we considered ones of the same rel, we'd be double-counting the
 *      restriction selectivity of the equality in the next step.
 *  4.  For Vars within a single source rel, we multiply together the numbers
 *      of values, clamp to the number of rows in the rel (divided by 10 if
 *      more than one Var), and then multiply by a factor based on the
 *      selectivity of the restriction clauses for that rel.  When there's
 *      more than one Var, the initial product is probably too high (it's the
 *      worst case) but clamping to a fraction of the rel's rows seems to be a
 *      helpful heuristic for not letting the estimate get out of hand.  (The
 *      factor of 10 is derived from pre-Postgres-7.4 practice.)  The factor
 *      we multiply by to adjust for the restriction selectivity assumes that
 *      the restriction clauses are independent of the grouping, which may not
 *      be a valid assumption, but it's hard to do better.
 *  5.  If there are Vars from multiple rels, we repeat step 4 for each such
 *      rel, and multiply the results together.
 * Note that rels not containing grouped Vars are ignored completely, as are
 * join clauses.  Such rels cannot increase the number of groups, and we
 * assume such clauses do not reduce the number either (somewhat bogus,
 * but we don't have the info to do better).

 * Estimate hash bucket statistics when the specified expression is used

 * zero into *mcv_freq if we can't get that).
 *
 * 2. The "bucketsize fraction", ie, average number of entries in a bucket
 * divided by total tuples in relation.
 *
 * XXX This is really pretty bogus since we're effectively assuming that the
 * distribution of hash keys will be the same after applying restriction
 * clauses as it was in the underlying relation.  However, we are not nearly
 * smart enough to figure out how the restrict clauses might change the
 * distribution, so this will have to do for now.
 *
 * We are passed the number of buckets the executor will use for the given
 * input relation.  If the data were perfectly distributed, with the same
 * number of tuples going into each available bucket, then the bucketsize
 * fraction would be 1/nbuckets.  But this happy state of affairs will occur
 * only if (a) there are at least nbuckets distinct data values, and (b)
 * we have a not-too-skewed data distribution.  Otherwise the buckets will
 * be nonuniformly occupied.  If the other relation in the join has a key
 * distribution similar to this one's, then the most-loaded buckets are
 * exactly those that will be probed most often.  Therefore, the "average"
 * bucket size for costing purposes should really be taken as something close
 * to the "worst case" bucket size.  We try to estimate this by adjusting the
 * fraction if there are too few distinct data values, and then scaling up
 * by the ratio of the most common value's frequency to the average frequency.
 *
 * If no statistics are available, use a default estimate of 0.1.  This will
 * discourage use of a hash rather strongly if the inner relation is large,
 * which is what we want.  We do not want to hash unless we know that the
 * inner rel is well-dispersed (or the alternatives seem much worse).
 *
 * The caller should also check that the mcv_freq is not so large that the
 * most common value would by itself require an impractically large bucket.
 * In a hash join, the executor can split buckets if they get too big, but
 * obviously that doesn't help for a bucket that contains many duplicates of
 * the same value.

 * The selectivity estimate is with respect to the portion of the column
 * population represented by the histogram --- the caller must fold this
 * together with info about MCVs and NULLs.
 *
 * We use the >= and < operators from the specified btree opfamily to do the
 * estimation.  The given variable and Const must be of the associated
 * datatype.
 *
 * XXX Note: we make use of the upper bound to estimate operator selectivity
 * even if the locale is such that we cannot rely on the upper-bound string.
 * The selectivity only needs to be approximately right anyway, so it seems
 * more useful to use the upper-bound code than not.
