错误描述
(1) Postgres执行的原SQL：
select COALESCE(m1.place_id, m2.place_id, m3.place_id) as place_id, concat_ws('``', m1.rich_attributes, m2.rich_attributes, m3.rich_attributes) as rich_attributes from
(SELECT place_external_points.place_id, string_agg(concat(place_external_points.metadata_dictionary_id, '@-@', place_external_points.value), '``'::text) AS rich_attributes
FROM place_external_points b WHERE metadata_dictionary_id = ANY (ARRAY[61, 62]) group by place_external_points.place_id) m1
full join
(SELECT place_geocoded.place_id, string_agg(concat(place_geocoded.metadata_dictionary_id, '@-@', place_geocoded.value), '``'::text) AS rich_attributes FROM place_geocoded g
WHERE metadata_dictionary_id = ANY (ARRAY[70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78]) group by place_geocoded.place_id) m2 on m1.place_id = m2.place_id
full join
(SELECT place_attributes.place_id, string_agg(concat(place_attributes.metadata_dictionary_id, '@-@', place_attributes.value), '``'::text) AS rich_attributes FROM
place_attributes a WHERE place_attributes.metadata_dictionary_id = ANY (ARRAY[5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 33, 35, 46, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59]) group by a.place_id) m3 on m2.place_id = m3.place_id;

(4) 脚本运行的时候内存变化：
# free -g
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 31 31 0 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 31 0
Swap: 7 3 4
原因：通过以上信息可以发现是postgres的查询SQL把内存消耗殆尽，并且开始使用swap分区，导致系统发生oom-kill,数据库进程被干掉，然后重启恢复。
分析过程
(1) 表place_external_points和place_geocoded经查看都为空，表place_attributes有1亿多条数据,所以问题发生在最后一条select xxx from place_attributes语句上，这个表的列metadata_dictionary_id有对应的索引
# \d place_attributes; Table "denali_search_cn_17q3_20171226_epl.place_attributes" Column | Type | Modifiers ------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------- place_id | integer | metadata_dictionary_id | integer | value | text | lang | character varying(50) | source | character varying(50) | create_time | timestamp(6) without time zone | default now() update_time | timestamp(6) without time zone | Indexes: "place_attributes_metadata_dictionary_id_idx" btree (metadata_dictionary_id) "place_attributes_place_id_metadata_dictionary_id_idx" btree (place_id, metadata_dictionary_id) "place_attributes_value_idx" btree (value)
(2) 通过执行计划explain发现使用了hash聚合：hashaggregate，SQL本身是group by ,没有使用group聚合，却使用了hash聚合，可初步判断数据库执行计划不是最优的：
# explain SELECT place_id, string_agg(concat(metadata_dictionary_id, '@-@', value), '``'::text) AS rich_attributes FROM place_attributes WHERE metadata_dictionary_id = ANY (ARRAY[5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 33, 35, 46, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59]) group by place_attributes.place_id;

解决方法
更新统计分析然后选择最优的执行计划
(Updates statistics used by the planner to determine the most efficient way to execute a query.)
postgres=# vacuum analyze place_attributes;
或者临时关闭enable_hashagg:
(Enables or disables the query planner's use of hashed aggregation plan types. The default is on)
# set enable_hashagg =0;
再次查看执行计划，发现执行计划不再走hashaggregate
yangzi=# explain SELECT place_id, string_agg(concat(metadata_dictionary_id, '@-@', value), '``'::text) AS rich_attributes FROM place_attributes WHERE metadata_dictionary_id = ANY (ARRAY[5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 33, 35, 46, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59]) group by place_attributes.place_id;

最后再去执行原SQL,没有报错，并且很快完成。
