/*
 * acquire_sample_rows -- acquire a random sample of rows from the table
 *
 * As of May 2004 we use a new two-stage method:  Stage one selects up
 * to targrows random blocks (or all blocks, if there aren't so many).
 * Stage two scans these blocks and uses the Vitter algorithm to create
 * a random sample of targrows rows (or less, if there are less in the
 * sample of blocks).  The two stages are executed simultaneously: each
 * block is processed as soon as stage one returns its number and while
 * the rows are read stage two controls which ones are to be inserted
 * into the sample.
 *
 * Although every row has an equal chance of ending up in the final
 * sample, this sampling method is not perfect: not every possible
 * sample has an equal chance of being selected.  For large relations
 * the number of different blocks represented by the sample tends to be
 * too small.  We can live with that for now.  Improvements are welcome.
 *
 * We also estimate the total numbers of live and dead rows in the table,
 * and return them into *totalrows and *totaldeadrows, respectively.
 *
 * An important property of this sampling method is that because we do
 * look at a statistically unbiased set of blocks, we should get
 * unbiased estimates of the average numbers of live and dead rows per
 * block.  The previous sampling method put too much credence in the row
 * density near the start of the table.
 *
 * The returned list of tuples is in order by physical position in the table.
 * (We will rely on this later to derive correlation estimates.)
