Jonas,
Thank you for the report. There is definitely a regression here and I think you are correct that it is in GEOS.
Looks to be a regression between GEOS 3.6.1 and GEOS 3.6.2 so should be easy enough to nail down.
If I run on windows PostGIS 2.3.2 GEOS 3.6.1 I get comparable speeds to your Windows – runs for me in 28.1 secs (but my box is just a workstation with 16 gb ram and vanilla conf).
-- 28 seconds
POSTGIS="2.3.2 r15302" GEOS="3.6.1-CAPI-1.10.1 r4317" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.1, 04 March 2015" GDAL="GDAL 2.1.3, released 2017/20/01" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" RASTER PostgreSQL 9.6.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit
If I swap out just the GEOS with my development 3.7.0 version, then time goes beyond a minute (I stopped it before it finished).
If I upgrade to PostGIS 2.4.4 and swap back to my GEOS 3.6.1, time is 28.3 secs
POSTGIS="2.4.4 r16526" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.6.1-CAPI-1.10.1 r4317" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 2.1.3, released 2017/20/01" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" RASTER PostgreSQL 9.6.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit
If I then switch that to GEOS 3.6.2 time balloons again to beyond 1 minute
POSTGIS="2.4.4 r16526" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 2.1.3, released 2017/20/01" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" RASTER PostgreSQL 9.6.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit
If you can ticket this that would be great and include the file you sent me as an attachment zipped.

You can flag it as a GEOS milestone bug, since it's not in PostGIS proper and needs to be fixed in GEOS.
Thanks,
Regina

Hi Regina
I’ve enclosed a sample dataset of 31489 rows (enclosed in separate email to Regina) that I hope can serve as a basis for more tests. It’s definitely not top secret, just building polygons for an area in Western Jutland, Denmark (the total dataset would be for all of Denmark).
It should be noted that both the windows and redhat machine are specked with NVMe ssd disks that holds the postgres instance and data.
The windows machine has 64 and the redhat has 128 GB of ram. Both have fairly recent workstation/server-grade cpus.
Windows:
'POSTGIS="2.3.2 r15302" GEOS="3.5.0-CAPI-1.9.0 r4084" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.2, 08 September 2015" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.5, released 2016/07/01" LIBXML="2.9.4" TOPOLOGY RASTER'
‘PostgreSQL 9.6.3 on x86_64-pc-mingw64, compiled by gcc.exe (Rev5, Built by MSYS2 project) 4.9.2, 64-bit’
Red Hat 7.4:
'POSTGIS="2.4.3 r16312" PGSQL="96" GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d6" SFCGAL="1.2.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.4, released 2016/01/25" LIBXML="2.9.1" LIBJSON="0.11" RASTER'
‘PostgreSQL 9.6.8 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16), 64-bit’
On the windows version the statement:
select
st_multi((st_dump(geom)).geom)::geometry(multipolygon,25832) as geom
from (
select st_union(b.geom) as geom
from temp_jonyp.st_union_test b
) foo
;
Runs with a ‘Total query runtime: 19.5 secs 18423 rows retrieved.’
The same statement and data on the redhat machine runs with a ‘Total query runtime: 01:17 minutes 18423 rows retrieved.’
Both have almost identical execution plans:
Subquery Scan on foo (cost=1428.62..1433.88 rows=1000 width=32)
-> Aggregate (cost=1428.62..1428.62 rows=1 width=32)
-> Seq Scan on st_union_test b (cost=0.00..1349.89 rows=31489 width=170)
Both have been vacuumed and analyzed beforehand. And max_parallel_workers have been set to 0 on the redhat machine.
I haven’t tried to do a postgis ticket, but let me know if you need that instead.
Kind regards Jonas

Emne: Re: [postgis-users] Performance problems with ST_Union on postgres 9.6, postgis 2.4.3 running on top of Red Hat 7.4
Couple of things to try
1) Can you reduce the dataset down a bit to the point you can run it in a reasonable amount of time and see differences?
2) On the 2.4.3 plan I see it is running using parallel mode, can you turn off the parallel to rule that out as an issue.
Set max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 0;
I don't know what your 2.4.2 was running, but for 2.3, it probably wouldn't run in parallel just because fewer functions were flagged as parallel safe
If you can reduce the set some something reasonable where we can test, I'd be happy to test on various OS/ PostGIS config.
I wouldn't rule out a regression issue on our end.
You can provide a sample on a postgis ticket, if it's not too top secret or just send directly to me.

Subject: [postgis-users] Performance problems with ST_Union on postgres 9.6, postgis 2.4.3 running on top of Red Hat 7.4
Hi list
I'm facing some performance issues when trying to execute the following query on a Red Hat 7.4 machine with Postgres 9.6 (PostgreSQL 9.6.8 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16), 64-bit) and postgis 2.4.3:
select st_multi((st_dump(geom)).geom)::geometry(multipolygon,25832) as geom
from (
select st_union(b.geom) as geom
from b.gdk_bygning b
) foo;
Previously the statement above finished in about 3.5 hours but now it seems to go on forever, and I'll cancel it after 3 days.
The table contains 5310482 rows and the CREATE TABLE statement looks like this:
CREATE TABLE b.gdk_bygning
(
id_lokalid bigint,
objektstatus character varying(4000),
registreringfra timestamp(6) without time zone,
virkningfra timestamp(6) without time zone,
plannoejagtighed double precision,
vertikalnoejagtighed double precision,
bygninguuid character varying(4000),
bygningstype character varying(4000),
underminimumbygning character varying(5),
status character varying(4000),
geom geometry(Polygon,25832)
)
Indexes:
CREATE INDEX gdk_bygning_id_lokalid_idx
ON b.gdk_bygning
USING btree
(id_lokalid);
CREATE INDEX sidx_gdk_bygning_geom
ON b.gdk_bygning
USING gist
(geom);
I'm not sure where the issue stems from, but from an approximation of when the issue started and near coincidental update from postgis 2.4.1 to 2.4.3, I suspect that the issue is rooted here, and probably combined with some clumsy settings in my postgresql.conf file.
Below I have compiled some documentation that I think will be relevant:
* the original Postgis install with 'yum',
* the update with 'yum',
* what I think are the relevant settings from my postgresql.conf,
* the query plan for the statement on the current 2.4.3 postgis version,
* and lastly the query plan on a windows machine running postgis 2.3.2 (I'm not able to roll back to 2.4.1 with GEOS 3.5).
The only thing that stands out to me is that the GEOS version is upgraded from 3.5.0 to 3.6.2 but I'm definitely unsure about what's going on and I hope that someone on the list can give me some advice.
Regards Jonas
