PostgreSQL may underestimate the number of distinct `room_id`s in `event_search`, which can cause it to use table scans for queries for multiple rooms. Fix this by setting `n_distinct` on the column. Resolves #14402. Signed-off-by: Sean Quah <seanq@matrix.org>

-- By default the postgres statistics collector massively underestimates the
|
|
-- number of distinct rooms in `event_search`, which can cause postgres to use
|
|
-- table scans for queries for multiple rooms.
|
|
--
|
|
-- To work around this we can manually tell postgres the number of distinct rooms
|
|
-- by setting `n_distinct` (a negative value here is the number of distinct values
|
|
-- divided by the number of rows, so -0.01 means on average there are 100 rows per
|
|
-- distinct value). We don't need a particularly accurate number here, as a) we just
|
|
-- want it to always use index scans and b) our estimate is going to be better than the
|
|
-- one made by the statistics collector.
|

ALTER TABLE event_search ALTER COLUMN room_id SET (n_distinct = -0.01);
|
|
|
|
-- Ideally we'd do an `ANALYZE event_search (room_id)` here so that
|
|
-- the above gets picked up immediately, but that can take a bit of time so we
|
|
-- rely on the autovacuum eventually getting run and doing that in the
|
|
-- background for us.
