Matthias van de Meent e5b95bc9dc Neon LFC/prefetch: Improve page read handling (#11380)
Previously we had different meanings for the bitmask of vector IOps.
That has now been unified to "bit set = final result, no more
scribbling".

Furthermore, the LFC read path scribbled on pages that were already
read; that's probably not a good thing so that's been fixed too. In
passing, the read path of LFC has been updated to read only the
requested pages into the provided buffers, thus reducing the IO size of
vectorized IOs.

neon extension consists of several parts:

shared preload library neon.so

  • implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.

  • walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.

  • control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.

  • remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.

  • file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.

  • relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.

SQL functions in neon--*.sql

Utility functions to expose neon specific information to user and metrics collection. This extension is created in all databases in the cluster by default.
