#2895 closed enhancement (fixed)

Increase cost of ST_ConvexHull(raster)

Reported by: strk Owned by: strk
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS 2.1.4
Component: raster Version: 2.1.x

Description

The cost of ST_ConvexHull(raster) is currently set to 1. For comparison ST_ConvexHull(geometry) is 100, and st_intersects(raster, raster) is 1000.

Real world cases have been found where a cost of 100 is not enough for the planner to choose a functional index scan for a query using a spatial condition on the raster column, while such index scan would take half the time (probably due to the pre-computation of the function output). See http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2014-August/024461.html

Raising it to 200 seems enough for the specific case.

It's to be determined out to deal with upgrades on function cost changes.

See #2839 for the change that made the problem more evident.

I'm in agreement we need to up the cost on this. Didn't realize it was so low. I would go to 300 in fact as its more costly.

Hmm upgrades on function cost changes. Why do you need to do anything special with those? I would think putting in a CHANGED would be sufficient. Function costs are already part of the upgrade script.

Raised to 300 in trunk with r12888. You are right upgrades are easy. Do you think I should backport to the 2.1 branch ?

Yes definitely
