The lowest 11 bits represent the offset number, and the next * lowest 32 bits are the block number. That leaves 21 bits unused, i.e. * only 43 low bits are used. * * 11 bits is enough for the offset number, because MaxHeapTuplesPerPage < * 2^11 on all supported block sizes. We are frugal with the bits, because * smaller integers use fewer bytes in the varbyte encoding, saving disk * space. (If we get a new table AM in the future that wants to use the full * range of possible offset numbers, we'll need to change this.) * * These 43-bit integers are encoded using varbyte encoding. In each byte, * the 7 low bits contain data, while the highest bit is a continuation bit. * When the continuation bit is set, the next byte is part of the same * integer, otherwise this is the last byte of this integer. 43 bits need * at most 7 bytes in this encoding: * * 0XXXXXXX * 1XXXXXXX 0XXXXYYY * 1XXXXXXX 1XXXXYYY 0YYYYYYY * 1XXXXXXX 1XXXXYYY 1YYYYYYY 0YYYYYYY * 1XXXXXXX 1XXXXYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 0YYYYYYY * 1XXXXXXX 1XXXXYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 0YYYYYYY * 1XXXXXXX 1XXXXYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 1YYYYYYY 0uuuuuuY * * X = bits used for offset number * Y = bits used for block number * u = unused bit * * The bytes are in stored in little-endian order. * * An important property of this encoding is that removing an item from list * never increases the size of the resulting compressed posting list. Proof: * * Removing number is actually replacement of two numbers with their sum. We * have to prove that varbyte encoding of a sum can't be longer than varbyte * encoding of its summands. Sum of two numbers is at most one bit wider than * the larger of the summands. Widening a number by one bit enlarges its length * in varbyte encoding by at most one byte. Therefore, varbyte encoding of sum * is at most one byte longer than varbyte encoding of larger summand. Lesser * summand is at least one byte, so the sum cannot take more space than the * summands, Q.E.D. * * This property greatly simplifies VACUUM, which can assume that posting * lists always fit on the same page after vacuuming. Note that even though * that holds for removing items from a posting list, you must also be * careful to not cause expansion e.g. when merging uncompressed items on the * page into the compressed lists, when vacuuming. */ /* * How many bits do you need to encode offset number? OffsetNumber is a 16-bit * integer, but you can't fit that many items on a page. 11 ought to be more * than enough. It's tempting to derive this from MaxHeapTuplesPerPage, and * use the minimum number of bits, but that would require changing the on-disk * format if MaxHeapTuplesPerPage changes.
