索引膨胀

对于索引，随着业务不断的增删改，会造成膨胀，尤其Btree索引，也会涉及索引分裂、合并等，导致索引访问效率降低、维护成本增加。另外，索引页的复用与HEAP PAGE不一样，因为索引的内容是有序结构，只有符合顺序的ITEM才能插入对应的PAGE中，不像HEAP TUPLE，只要有空间就可以插入。index page无论在任何位置，都不能从磁盘删除，因此索引变大后，不能回收空间，除非vacuum full。所以索引膨胀后，通常需要重建索引来回收索引空间。

此外，对于B树索引，新构建的索引比多次更新的索引访问速度稍快，因为逻辑上相邻的页面通常在新构建索引中也是物理上相邻的。为了提高访问速度，定期重新B_Tree 索引可能是值得的。

对于重建索引，REINDEX在任何情况下都可以安全方便地使用。默认情况下，该命令需要ACCESS EXCLUSIVE锁。可以使用CONCURRENTLY选项创建索引，该选项只需要SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIV锁，不阻塞读写。

索引膨胀的原因：

1.大量删除发生后，导致索引页面稀疏，降低了索引使用效率。

2.长时间运行的事务，阻止了vacuum对表的清理工作，因而导致页面稀疏状态一直保持。

3.索引字段乱序写入，导致索引频繁分裂，使得索引页并不是百分百填满，所以膨胀。

查询获取每个表的行数、索引以及有关这些索引的一些信息：

SELECT
    pg_class.relname,
    pg_size_pretty(pg_class.reltuples::bigint)            AS rows_in_bytes,
    pg_class.reltuples                                    AS num_rows,
    COUNT(*)                                              AS total_indexes,
    COUNT(*) FILTER ( WHERE indisunique)                  AS unique_indexes,
    COUNT(*) FILTER ( WHERE indnatts = 1 )                AS single_column_indexes,
    COUNT(*) FILTER ( WHERE indnatts IS DISTINCT FROM 1 ) AS multi_column_indexes
FROM
    pg_namespace
    LEFT JOIN pg_class ON pg_namespace.oid = pg_class.relnamespace
    LEFT JOIN pg_index ON pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid
WHERE
    pg_namespace.nspname = 'public' AND
    pg_class.relkind = 'r'
GROUP BY pg_class.relname, pg_class.reltuples
ORDER BY pg_class.reltuples DESC;
 

SELECT
    t.schemaname,
    t.tablename,
    c.reltuples::bigint                            AS num_rows,
    pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(c.oid))        AS table_size,
    psai.indexrelname                              AS index_name,
    pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(i.indexrelid)) AS index_size,
    CASE WHEN i.indisunique THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END  AS "unique",
    psai.idx_scan                                  AS number_of_scans,
    psai.idx_tup_read                              AS tuples_read,
    psai.idx_tup_fetch                             AS tuples_fetched
FROM
    pg_tables t
    LEFT JOIN pg_class c ON t.tablename = c.relname
    LEFT JOIN pg_index i ON c.oid = i.indrelid
    LEFT JOIN pg_stat_all_indexes psai ON i.indexrelid = psai.indexrelid
WHERE
    t.schemaname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
ORDER BY 1, 2;
 

查找重复索引，查找具有相同列集、相同操作类、表达式和谓词的多个索引，但需要人为判断需要删除的重复项：

SELECT pg_size_pretty(sum(pg_relation_size(idx))::bigint) as size,
       (array_agg(idx))[1] as idx1, (array_agg(idx))[2] as idx2,
       (array_agg(idx))[3] as idx3, (array_agg(idx))[4] as idx4
FROM (
    SELECT indexrelid::regclass as idx, (indrelid::text ||E'\n'|| indclass::text ||E'\n'|| indkey::text ||E'\n'||coalesce(indexprs::text,'')||E'\n' || coalesce(indpred::text,'')) as key
    FROM pg_index) sub
GROUP BY key HAVING count(*)>1
ORDER BY sum(pg_relation_size(idx)) DESC;
 

查找未使用的索引：

select 
    indexrelid::regclass as index, relid::regclass as table 
from 
    pg_stat_user_indexes 
    JOIN pg_index USING (indexrelid) 
where 
    idx_scan = 0 and indisunique is false;
 

有些场景，重建索引后，索引就变小了。通常这种情况是索引字段乱序写入，导致索引频繁分裂，使得索引页并不是百分百填满，密度低，索引页面浪费。

索引碎片模拟

乱序写入:
 
test=# create table t_split(id int);  
CREATE TABLE  
test=# create index idx_split on t_split (id);  
CREATE INDEX  
test=# insert into t_split select random()*1000000 from generate_series(1,1000000);  
INSERT 0 1000000  
test=# \di+ idx_split   
                          List of relations
 Schema |   Name    | Type  | Owner  |  Table  | Size  | Description
--------+-----------+-------+--------+---------+-------+-------------
 public | idx_split | index | system | t_split | 30 MB |
 
(1 row)
 
顺序写入:
 
test=# truncate t_split ;  
TRUNCATE TABLE  
test=# \di+ idx_split   
                            List of relations
 Schema |   Name    | Type  | Owner  |  Table  |    Size    | Description
--------+-----------+-------+--------+---------+------------+-------------
 public | idx_split | index | system | t_split | 8192 bytes |
 
(1 row)  
  
test=# insert into t_split select generate_series(1,1000000);  
INSERT 0 1000000  
test=# \di+ idx_split   
                          List of relations
 Schema |   Name    | Type  | Owner  |  Table  | Size  | Description
--------+-----------+-------+--------+---------+-------+-------------
 public | idx_split | index | system | t_split | 22 MB |
 
(1 row)
 
先写入数据，后建索引:
 
test=# drop index idx_split ;  
DROP INDEX  
test=# create index idx_split on t_split (id);  
CREATE INDEX  
test=# \di+ idx_split   
                           List of relations
 Schema |   Name    | Type  | Owner  |  Table  | Size  | Description
--------+-----------+-------+--------+---------+-------+-------------
 public | idx_split | index | system | t_split | 22 MB |
(1 row)
 
 
业务运行久了，不断的增删改，也会导致索引碎片:
 
test=# create table test(id int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into test values(generate_series(1,1000000));
INSERT 0 1000000
test=# create index idx_fragmented on test(id);
CREATE INDEX
CREATE EXTENSION kbstattuple;
刚刚创建的索引没有碎片：
test=# \x
Expanded display is on.
test=# SELECT * FROM pgstatindex('idx_fragmented');
-[ RECORD 1 ]------+---------
version            | 4
tree_level         | 2
index_size         | 22609920
root_block_no      | 289
internal_pages     | 11
leaf_pages         | 2748
empty_pages        | 0
deleted_pages      | 0
avg_leaf_density   | 89.93
leaf_fragmentation | 0
 
 
leaf_fragmentation的碎片率是33.33%:
test=# insert into test values(generate_series(1,1000000));
INSERT 0 1000000
test=# SELECT * FROM pgstatindex('idx_fragmented');
-[ RECORD 1 ]------+---------
version            | 4
tree_level         | 2
index_size         | 67846144
root_block_no      | 289
internal_pages     | 39
leaf_pages         | 8242
empty_pages        | 0
deleted_pages      | 0
avg_leaf_density   | 60.06
leaf_fragmentation | 33.33
 
 
reindex之后，即可回收空间，减少碎片。
 
test=# reindex index idx_fragmented;
REINDEX
test=# \di+ idx_fragmented
List of relations
-[ RECORD 1 ]---------------
Schema      | public
Name        | idx_fragmented
Type        | index
Owner       | system
Table       | test
Size        | 43 MB
Description |
 
test=# SELECT * FROM pgstatindex('idx_fragmented');
-[ RECORD 1 ]------+---------
version            | 4
tree_level         | 2
index_size         | 45236224
root_block_no      | 208
internal_pages     | 26
leaf_pages         | 5495
empty_pages        | 0
deleted_pages      | 0
avg_leaf_density   | 90.01
leaf_fragmentation | 0
 

总结

通过以上方法监控索引膨胀，以及索引碎片情况，及时对索引reindex 进行碎片优化，建议不要在一个表上建太多索引，准确评估经常update的列和经常select的列，以便创建合适的索引。
