Subject: [PATCH] Redesign tablesample method API, and do extensive code
 review.

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM.  (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.)  Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type.  This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.

Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.

Make a full code-review pass over the tablesample additions, and fix
assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as
failure to put the added code stanzas in a consistent ordering).
Improve EXPLAIN's output of tablesample plans, too.

Back-patch to 9.5 so that we don't have to support the original API
in production.

+
+   This function is called during planning.  It must estimate the number of
+   relation pages that will be read during a sample scan, and the number of
+   tuples that will be selected by the scan.  (For example, these might be
+   determined by estimating the sampling fraction, and then multiplying
+   the <literal>baserel-&gt;pages</> and <literal>baserel-&gt;tuples</>
+   numbers by that, being sure to round the results to integral values.)
+   The <literal>paramexprs</> list holds the expression(s) that are
+   parameters to the <literal>TABLESAMPLE</> clause.  It is recommended to
+   use <function>estimate_expression_value()</> to try to reduce these
+   expressions to constants, if their values are needed for estimation
+   purposes; but the function must provide size estimates even if they cannot
+   be reduced, and it should not fail even if the values appear invalid
+   (remember that they're only estimates of what the run-time values will be).
+   The <literal>pages</> and <literal>tuples</> parameters are outputs.

-   Note that the first two parameters are required but you can specify
-   additional parameters which then will be used by the <command>TABLESAMPLE</>
-   clause to determine the required user input in the query itself.
-   This means that if your function will specify additional float4 parameter
-   named percent, the user will have to call the tablesample method with
-   expression which evaluates (or can be coerced) to float4.
-   For example this definition:
 <programlisting>
-tsm_init (TableSampleDesc *desc,
-          uint32 seed, float4 pct);

+   If <literal>node-&gt;use_pagemode</> is <literal>true</>, which it is by

-   Function that enables the sampling method to examine contents of the tuple
-   (for example to collect some internal statistics). The return value of this
-   function is used to determine if the tuple should be returned to client.
-   Note that this function will receive even invisible tuples but it is not

+    to call <function>NextSampleBlock</> in advance of actually scanning

   <para>
-  As you can see most of the tablesample method interfaces get the
-  <structname>TableSampleDesc</> as a first parameter. This structure holds
-  state of the current scan and also provides storage for the tablesample
-  method's state. It is defined as following:
 <programlisting>
-typedef struct TableSampleDesc {
-    HeapScanDesc    heapScan;
-    TupleDesc       tupDesc;
-
-    void           *tsmdata;
-} TableSampleDesc;
+void
+EndSampleScan (SampleScanState *node);
 </programlisting>
-  Where <structfield>heapScan</> is the descriptor of the physical table scan.
-  It's possible to get table size info from it. The <structfield>tupDesc</>
-  represents the tuple descriptor of the tuples returned by the scan and passed
-  to the <function>tsm_examinetuple()</> interface. The <structfield>tsmdata</>
-  can be used by tablesample method itself to store any state info it might
-  need during the scan. If used by the method, it should be <function>pfree</>d
-  in <function>tsm_end()</> function.
+
+   End the scan and release resources.  It is normally not important
+   to release palloc'd memory, but any externally-visible resources
+   should be cleaned up.
+   This function can be omitted (set the pointer to NULL) in the common
+   case where no such resources exist.

  * IDENTIFICATION
  *		  src/backend/access/tablesample/tablesample.c
  *
- * TABLESAMPLE is the SQL standard clause for sampling the relations.
- *
- * The API is interface between the Executor and the TABLESAMPLE Methods.
- *
- * TABLESAMPLE Methods are implementations of actual sampling algorithms which
- * can be used for returning a sample of the source relation.
- * Methods don't read the table directly but are asked for block number and
- * tuple offset which they want to examine (or return) and the tablesample
- * interface implemented here does the reading for them.
- *
- * We currently only support sampling of the physical relations, but in the
- * future we might extend the API to support subqueries as well.
