High-level changes

  • Planning time improvement (up to 15x) when a hypertable has many chunks by only expanding (and taking locks on) chunks that will actually be used in a query, rather than on all chunks (as was the default PostgreSQL behavior).
  • Smarter use of HashAggregate by teaching the planner to better estimate the number of output rows when using time-based grouping.
  • New convenience function for getting the approximate number of rows in a hypertable (hypertable_approximate_row_count).
  • Fixed support for installing extension into non-public schemas
  • Other bug fixes and refactorings.

  • [12bc117] Fix static analyzer warning when checking for index attributes

Thanks

  • @viragkothari for suggesting the addition of hypertable_approximate_row_count and @fvannee for providing the initial SQL used to build that function
  • 'mintekhab' from Slack for reporting a segfault when using upserts on an altered table
  • @mmouterde for reporting an issue where the extension implicitly expected to be installed in the public schema
  • @mfuterko for bringing some potential bugs to our attention via static analysis
