In final_cost_hashjoin(), commit 9c7f5229a allowed inner_unique cases to follow a code path previously used only for SEMI/ANTI joins; but it neglected to fix an if-test within that path that assumed SEMI and ANTI were the only possible cases. This resulted in a wrong value for hashjointuples, and an ensuing bad cost estimate, for inner_unique normal joins. Fortunately, for inner_unique normal joins we can assume the number of joined tuples is the same as for a SEMI join; so there's no need for more code, we just have to invert the test to check for ANTI not SEMI. It turns out that in two contrib tests in which commit 9c7f5229a changed the plan expected for a query, the change was actually wrong and induced by this estimation error, not by any real improvement. Hence this patch also reverts those changes. Per report from RK Korlapati. Backpatch to v10 where the error was introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
