#5490 "A day of one metric reads fast even cold". A cold 24 h series read measured 18.3 s against 63 ms warm (#5485): every sample's row sat on its own heap page. ix_plugin_metrics_series_value carries `value` (INCLUDE), so the read is an index-only scan; it replaces the plain series index from 0023. It is built once, with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY from a task started after the app is serving, never in a migration, so the boot isn't held while it builds over the live table (#5220) and ingest and pages carry on. A build cut short by a restart leaves an INVALID index; the next boot drops and rebuilds it. Later boots find it present and only check. Postgres keeps it current on each insert, as it did the index it replaces. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

"""The series index on plugin_metrics, built in the background after boot (#5490).
|
|
|
|
A read of one metric over a day (a rule's preview, query_metrics, a chart)
|
|
walks the (source, resource, metric, recorded_at) index; without the value in
|
|
the index, each sample is then fetched from its own heap page, interleaved
|
|
with every other series, so a cold day measured 18.3 s against 63 ms warm
|
|
(#5485). With `value` INCLUDEd the read is an index-only scan over adjacent
|
|
index pages.
|
|
|
|
The index is built with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY from a task started after
|
|
the app is serving, never in a migration: a build over the live table takes
|
|
minutes on slow storage, and a migration would hold the boot with Steward
|
|
down for all of it (#5220). Ingest and pages keep working while it builds.
|
|
Once it is valid the index it replaces is dropped. Later boots find it
|
|
present and only check.
