2022-04-12Rename backup_compression.{c,h} to compression.{c,h}Michael Paquier
Compression option handling (level, algorithm or even workers) can be used across several parts of the system and not only base backups. Structures, objects and routines are renamed in consequence, to remove the concept of base backups from this part of the code making this change straight-forward. pg_receivewal, that has gained support for LZ4 since babbbb5, will make use of this infrastructure for its set of compression options, bringing more consistency with pg_basebackup. This cleanup needs to be done before releasing a beta of 15. pg_dump is a potential future target, as well, and adding more compression options to it may happen in 16~.

2022-03-30Allow parallel zstd compression when taking a base backup.Robert Haas
libzstd allows transparent parallel compression just by setting an option when creating the compression context, so permit that for both client and server-side backup compression. To use this, use something like pg_basebackup --compress WHERE-zstd:workers=N where WHERE is "client" or "server" and N is an integer. When compression is performed on the server side, this will spawn threads inside the PostgreSQL backend. While there is almost no PostgreSQL server code which is thread-safe, the threads here are used internally by libzstd and touch only data structures controlled by libzstd. Patch by me, based in part on earlier work by Dipesh Pandit and Jeevan Ladhe. Reviewed by Justin Pryzby.

2022-03-23In get_bc_algorithm_name, add a dummy return statement.Robert Haas
This code shouldn't be reached, but having it here might avoid a compiler warning. Per CI complaint from Andres Freund. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/C6A7643A-582B-47F7-A03D-01736BC0349B@anarazel.de
2022-03-23Replace BASE_BACKUP COMPRESSION_LEVEL option with COMPRESSION_DETAIL.Robert Haas
There are more compression parameters that can be specified than just an integer compression level, so rename the new COMPRESSION_LEVEL option to COMPRESSION_DETAIL before it gets released. Introduce a flexible syntax for that option to allow arbitrary options to be specified without needing to adjust the main replication grammar, and common code to parse it that is shared between the client and the server. This commit doesn't actually add any new compression parameters, so the only user-visible change is that you can now type something like pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5 instead of writing just pg_basebackup --compress gzip:5. However, it should make it easy to add new options. If for example gzip starts offering fries, we can support pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5,fries=true for the benefit of users who want fries with that. Along the way, this fixes a few things in pg_basebackup so that the pg_basebackup can be used with a server-side compression algorithm that pg_basebackup itself does not understand. For example, pg_basebackup --compress server-lz4 could still succeed even if only the server and not the client has LZ4 support, provided that the other options to pg_basebackup don't require the client to decompress the archive.
