We don't actually use these functions anymore since merging #1477.
Advantages of removing:
1. They add work whenever we add a new node.
2. They contain some usage of stdlib APIs that are banned by Microsoft.
Removing it means we don't have to replace those with safe ones.
- Stop the daemon when citus extension is dropped
- Bail on maintenance daemon startup if myDbData is started with a non-zero pid
- Stop maintenance daemon from spawning itself
- Don't use postgres die, just wrap proc_exit(0)
- Assert(myDbData->workerPid == MyProcPid)
The two issues were that multiple daemons could be running for a database,
or that a daemon would be leftover after DROP EXTENSION citus
The root of the problem is that, standard_planner() converts the following qual
```
{OPEXPR
:opno 98
:opfuncid 67
:opresulttype 16
:opretset false
:opcollid 0
:inputcollid 100

To

:consttypmod -1
:constcollid 0
:constlen 1
:constbyval true
:constisnull true
:location -1

}
)
```
So, Citus doesn't deal with NULL values in real-time or non-fast path router queries.
And, in the FastPathRouter planner, we check constisnull in DistKeyInSimpleOpExpression().
However, in deferred pruning case, we do not check for isnull for const.
Thus, the fix consists of two parts:
- Let PruneShards() not crash when NULL parameter is passed
- For deferred shard pruning in fast-path queries, explicitly check that we have CONST which is not NULL
Mark existing objects that are not included in distributed object infrastructure
in older versions of Citus (but now should be) as distributed, after updating
Citus successfully.
DESCRIPTION: Fix unnecessary repartition on joins with more than 4 tables
In 9.1 we have introduced support for all CH-benCHmark queries by widening our definitions of joins to include joins with expressions in them. This had the undesired side effect of Q5 regressing on its plan by implementing a repartition join.
It turned out this regression was not directly related to widening of the join clause, nor the schema employed by CH-benCHmark. Instead it had to do with 4 or more tables being joined in a chain. A chain meaning:
```sql
SELECT * FROM a,b,c,d WHERE a.part = b.part AND b.part = c.part AND ....
```
Due to how our join order planner was implemented it would only keep track of 1 of the partition columns when comparing if the join could be executed locally. This manifested in a join chain of 4 tables to _always_ be executed as a repartition join. 3 tables joined in a chain would have the middle table shared by the two outer tables causing the local join possibility to be found.
With this patch we keep a unique list (or set) of all partition columns participating in the join. When a candidate table is checked for a possibility to execute a local join it will check if there is any partition column in that set that matches an equality join clause on the partition column of the candidate table.
By taking into account all partition columns in the left relation it will now find the local join path on >= 4 tables joined in a chain.
fixes: #3276
For example, a PARAM might reside inside a function just because
of a casting of a type such as the follows:
```
{FUNCEXPR
:funcid 1740
:funcresulttype 1700
:funcretset false
:funcvariadic false
:funcformat 2
:funccollid 0
:inputcollid 0
:args (
{PARAM
:paramkind 0
:paramid 15
:paramtype 23
:paramtypmod -1
:paramcollid 0
:location 356
}
)
```
We should recursively check the expression before bailing out.
Sometimes during errors workers will create files while we're deleting intermediate directories
example:
DEBUG: could not remove file "base/pgsql_job_cache/10_0_431": Directory not empty
DETAIL: WARNING from localhost:57637
Previously, the logic for evaluting the functions and the parameters
were the same. That ended-up evaluting the functions inaccurately
on the coordinator. Instead, split the function evaluation logic
from parameter evalution logic.
Previously, we've identified the usedSubPlans by only looking
to the subPlanId.
With this commit, we're expanding it to also include information
on the location of the subPlan.
This is useful to distinguish the cases where the subPlan is used
either on only HAVING or both HAVING and any other part of the query.
* Update shardPlacement->nodeId to uint
As the source of the shardPlacement->nodeId is always workerNode->nodeId,
and that is uint32.
We had this hack because of: 0ea4e52df5 (r266421409)
And, that is gone with: 90056f7d3c (diff-c532177d74c72d3f0e7cd10e448ab3c6L1123)
So, we're safe to do it now.
* Relax the restrictions on using the local execution
Previously, whenever any local execution happens, we disabled further
commands to do any remote queries. The basic motivation for doing that
is to prevent any accesses in the same transaction block to access the
same placements over multiple sessions: one is local session the other
is remote session to the same placement.
However, the current implementation does not distinguish local accesses
being to a placement or not. For example, we could have local accesses
that only touches intermediate results. In that case, we should not
implement the same restrictions as they become useless.
So, this is a pre-requisite for executing the intermediate result only
queries locally.
* Update the error messages
As the underlying implementation has changed, reflect it in the error
messages.
* Keep track of connections to local node
With this commit, we're adding infrastructure to track if any connection
to the same local host is done or not.
The main motivation for doing this is that we've previously were more
conservative about not choosing local execution. Simply, we disallowed
local execution if any connection to any remote node is done. However,
if we want to use local execution for intermediate result only queries,
this'd be annoying because we expect all queries to touch remote node
before the final query.
Note that this approach is still limiting in Citus MX case, but for now
we can ignore that.
* Formalize the concept of Local Node
Also some minor refactoring while creating the dummy placement
* Write intermediate results locally when the results are only needed locally
Before this commit, Citus used to always broadcast all the intermediate
results to remote nodes. However, it is possible to skip pushing
the results to remote nodes always.
There are two notable cases for doing that:
(a) When the query consists of only intermediate results
(b) When the query is a zero shard query
In both of the above cases, we don't need to access any data on the shards. So,
it is a valuable optimization to skip pushing the results to remote nodes.
The pattern mentioned in (a) is actually a common patterns that Citus users
use in practice. For example, if you have the following query:
WITH cte_1 AS (...), cte_2 AS (....), ... cte_n (...)
SELECT ... FROM cte_1 JOIN cte_2 .... JOIN cte_n ...;
The final query could be operating only on intermediate results. With this patch,
the intermediate results of the ctes are not unnecessarily pushed to remote
nodes.
* Add specific regression tests
As there are edge cases in Citus MX and with round-robin policy,
use the same queries on those cases as well.
* Fix failure tests
By forcing not to use local execution for intermediate results since
all the tests expects the results to be pushed remotely.
* Fix flaky test
* Apply code-review feedback
Mostly style changes
* Limit the max value of pg_dist_node_seq to reserve for internal use
Deparsing and parsing a query can be heavy on CPU. When locally executing
the query we don't need to do this in theory most of the time.
This PR is the first step in allowing to skip deparsing and parsing
the query in these cases, by lazily creating the query string and
storing the query in the task. Future commits will make use of this and
not deparse and parse the query anymore, but use the one from the task
directly.
This is purely to enable better performance with prepared statements.
Before this commit, the fast path queries with prepared statements
where the distribution key includes a parameter always went through
distributed planning. After this change, we only go through distributed
planning on the first 5 executions.
In this commit, we're introducing a way to prevent CTE inlining via a GUC.
The GUC is used in all the tests where PG 11 and PG 12 tests would diverge
otherwise.
Note that, in PG 12, the restriction information for CTEs are generated. It
means that for some queries involving CTEs, Citus planner (router planner/
pushdown planner) may behave differently. So, via the GUC, we prevent
tests to diverge on PG 11 vs PG 12.
When we drop PG 11 support, we should get rid of the GUC, and mark
relevant ctes as MATERIALIZED, which does the same thing.
With this commit we add the necessary Citus function to inline CTEs
in a queryTree.
You might ask, why do we need to inline CTEs if Postgres is already
going to do it?
Few reasons behind this decision:
- One techinal node here is that Citus does the recursive CTE planning
by checking the originalQuery which is the query that has not gone
through the standard_planner().
CTEs in Citus is super powerful. It is practically key for full SQL
coverage for multi-shard queries. With CTEs, you can always reduce
any query multi-shard query into a router query via recursive
planning (thus full SQL coverage).
We cannot let CTE inlining break that. The main idea is Citus should
be able to retry planning if anything goes after CTE inlining.
So, by taking ownership of CTE inlining on the originalQuery, Citus
can fallback to recursive planning of CTEs if the planning with the
inlined query fails. It could have been a lot harder if we had relied
on standard_planner() to have the inlined CTEs on the original query.
- We want to have this feature in PostgreSQL 11 as well, but Postgres
only inlines in version 12
We might need to send commands from workers to other workers. In
these cases we shouldn't override the xact id assigned by coordinator,
or otherwise we won't read the consistent set of result files
accross the nodes.
We need to know which placement succeeded in executing the worker_partition_query_result() call. Otherwise we wouldn't know which node to fetch from. This change allows that by introducing Task::perPlacementQueryStrings.
Fixes#3331
In #2389, we've implemented support for partitioned tables with rep > 1.
The implementation is limiting the use of modification queries on the
partitions. In fact, we error out when any partition is modified via
EnsurePartitionTableNotReplicated().
However, we seem to forgot an important case, where the parent table's
partition is marked as INVALID. In that case, at least one of the partition
becomes INVALID. However, we do not mark partitions as INVALID ever.
If the user queries the partition table directly, Citus could happily send
the query to INVALID placements -- which are not marked as INVALID.
This PR fixes it by marking the placements of the partitions as INVALID
as well.
The shard placement repair logic already re-creates all the partitions,
so should be fine in that front.
* WIP
* wip
* add basic logic to run a single job with repartioning joins with adaptive executor
* fix some warnings and return in ExecuteDependedTasks if there is none
* Add the logic to run depended jobs in adaptive executor
The execution of depended tasks logic is changed. With the current
logic:
- All tasks are created from the top level task list.
- At one iteration:
- CurTasks whose dependencies are executed are found.
- CurTasks are executed in parallel with adapter executor main
logic.
- The iteration is repeated until all tasks are completed.
* Separate adaptive executor repartioning logic
* Remove duplicate parts
* cleanup directories and schemas
* add basic repartion tests for adaptive executor
* Use the first placement to fetch data
In task tracker, when there are replicas, we try to fetch from a replica
for which a map task is succeeded. TaskExecution is used for this,
however TaskExecution is not used in adaptive executor. So we cannot use
the same thing as task tracker.
Since adaptive executor fails when a map task fails (There is no retry
logic yet). We know that if we try to execute a fetch task, all of its
map tasks already succeeded, so we can just use the first one to fetch
from.

Use partition column's collation for range distributed tables
Don't allow non deterministic collations for hash distributed tables
CoPartitionedTables: don't compare unequal types
In plain words, each distributed plan pulls the necessary intermediate
results to the worker nodes that the plan hits. This is primarily useful
in three ways.
(i) If the distributed plan that uses intermediate
result(s) is a router query, then the intermediate results are only
broadcasted to a single node.
(ii) If a distributed plan consists of only intermediate results, which
is not uncommon, the intermediate results are broadcasted to a single
node only.
(iii) If a distributed query hits a sub-set of the shards in multiple
workers, the intermediate results will be broadcasted to the relevant
node(s).
The final item (iii) becomes crucial for append/range distributed
tables where typically the distributed queries hit a small subset of
shards/workers.
To do this, for each query that Citus creates a distributed plan, we keep
track of the subPlans used in the queryTree, and save it in the distributed
plan. Just before Citus executes each subPlan, Citus first keeps track of
every worker node that the distributed plan hits, and marks every subPlan
should be broadcasted to these nodes. Later, for each subPlan which is a
distributed plan, Citus does this operation recursively since these
distributed plans may access to different subPlans, and those have to be
recorded as well.
Prevent Citus extension being distributed
Because that could prevent doing rolling upgrades, where users may
prefer to upgrade the version on the coordinator but not the workers.
There could be some other edge cases, so I'd prefer to keep Citus
extension outside the picture for now.
DESCRIPTION: Expression in reference join
Fixed: #2582
This patch allows arbitrary expressions in the join clause when joining to a reference table. An example of such joins could be found in CHbenCHmark queries 7, 8, 9 and 11; `mod((s_w_id * s_i_id),10000) = su_suppkey` and `ascii(substr(c_state,1,1)) = n2.n_nationkey`. Since the join is on a reference table these queries are able to be pushed down to the workers.
To implement these queries we will widen the `IsJoinClause` predicate to not check if the expressions are a type `Var` after stripping the implicit coerciens. Instead we define a join clause when the `Var`'s in a clause come from more than 1 table.
This allows more clauses to pass into the logical planner's `MultiNodeTree(...)` planning function. To compensate for this we tighten down the `LocalJoin`, `SinglePartitionJoin` and `DualPartitionJoin` to check for direct column references when planning. This allows the planner to work with arbitrary join expressions on reference tables.
When the user picks "round-robin" policy, the aim is that the load
is distributed across nodes. However, for reference tables on the
coordinator, since local execution kicks in immediately, round-robin
is ignored.
With this change, we're excluding the placement on the coordinator.
Although the approach seems a little bit invasive because of
modifications in the placement list, that sounds acceptable.
We could have done this in some other ways such as:
1) Add a field to "Task->roundRobinPlacement" (or such), which is
updated as the first element after RoundRobinPolicy is applied.
During the execution, if that placement is local to the coordinator,
skip it and try the other remote placements.
2) On TaskAccessesLocalNode()@local_execution.c, check
task_assignment_policy, if round-robin selected and there is local
placement on the coordinator, skip it. However, task assignment is done
on planning, but this decision is happening on the execution, which
could create weird edge cases.
Phase 1 seeks to implement minimal infrastructure, so does not include:
- dynamic generation of support aggregates to handle multiple arguments
- configuration methods to direct aggregation strategy,
or mark an aggregate's serialize/deserialize as safe to operate across nodes
Aggregates can be distributed when:
- they have a single argument
- they have a combinefunc
- their transition type is not a pseudotype
This is necassery to support Q20 of the CHbenCHmark: #2582.
To summarize the fix: The subquery is converted into an INNER JOIN on a
table. This fixes the issue, since an INNER JOIN on a table is already
supported by the repartion planner.
The way this replacement is happening.:
1. Postgres replaces `col in (subquery)` with a SEMI JOIN (subquery) on col = subquery_result
2. If this subquery is simple enough Postgres will replace it with a
regular read from a table
3. If the subquery returns unique results (e.g. a primary key) Postgres
will convert the SEMI JOIN into an INNER JOIN during the planning. It
will not change this in the rewritten query though.
4. We check if Postgres sends us any SEMI JOINs during its join order
planning, if it doesn't we replace all SEMI JOINs in the rewritten
query with INNER JOIN (which we already support).
Postgres doesn't require you to add all columns that are in the target list to
the GROUP BY when you group by a unique column (or columns). It even actively
removes these group by clauses when you do.
This is normally fine, but for repartition joins it is not. The reason for this
is that the temporary tables don't have these primary key columns. So when the
worker executes the query it will complain that it is missing columns in the
group by.
This PR fixes that by adding an ANY_VALUE aggregate around each variable in
the target list that does is not contained in the group by or in an aggregate.
This is done only for repartition joins.
The ANY_VALUE aggregate chooses the value from an undefined row in the
group.
It looks like the logic to prevent RETURNING in reference tables to
have duplicate entries that comes from local and remote executions
leads to missing some tuples for distributed tables.
With this PR, we're ensuring to kick in the logic for reference tables
only.
* Remove unused executor codes
All of the codes of real-time executor. Some functions
in router executor still remains there because there
are common functions. We'll move them to accurate places
in the follow-up commits.
* Move GUCs to transaction mngnt and remove unused struct
* Update test output
* Get rid of references of real-time executor from code
* Warn if real-time executor is picked
* Remove lots of unused connection codes
* Removed unused code for connection restrictions
Real-time and router executors cannot handle re-using of the existing
connections within a transaction block.
Adaptive executor and COPY can re-use the connections. So, there is no
reason to keep the code around for applying the restrictions in the
placement connection logic.
We've changed the logic for pulling RTE_RELATIONs in #3109 and
non-colocated subquery joins and partitioned tables.
@onurctirtir found this steps where I traced back and found the issues.
While looking into it in more detail, we decided to expand the list in a
way that the callers get all the relevant RTE_RELATIONs RELKIND_RELATION,
RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE, RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE and RELKIND_MATVIEW.
These are all relation kinds that Citus planner is aware of.
This completely hides `ListCell` to the user of the loop
Example usage:
```c
WorkerNode *workerNode = NULL;
foreach_ptr(workerNode, workerNodeList) {
// Do stuff with workerNode
}
```
Instead of:
```c
ListCell *workerNodeCell = NULL;
foreach(cell, workerNodeList) {
WorkerNode *workerNode = lfirst(workerNodeCell);
// Do stuff with workerNode
}
```
This is an improvement over #2512.
This adds the boolean shouldhaveshards column to pg_dist_node. When it's false, create_distributed_table for new collocation groups will not create shards on that node. Reference tables will still be created on nodes where it is false.
Areas for further optimization:
- Don't save subquery results to a local file on the coordinator when the subquery is not in the having clause
- Push the the HAVING with subquery to the workers if there's a group by on the distribution column
- Don't push down the results to the workers when we don't push down the HAVING clause, only the coordinator needs it
Fixes#520Fixes#756Closes#2047
Objectives:
(a) both super user and regular user should have the correct owner for the function on the worker
(b) The transactional semantics would work fine for both super user and regular user
(c) non-super-user and non-function owner would get a reasonable error message if tries to distribute the function

DESCRIPTION: Disallow distributed functions for functions depending on an extension
Functions depending on an extension cannot (yet) be distributed by citus. If we would allow this it would cause issues with our dependency following mechanism as we stop following objects depending on an extension.
By not allowing functions to be distributed when they depend on an extension as well as not allowing to make distributed functions depend on an extension we won't break the ability to add new nodes. Allowing functions depending on extensions to be distributed at the moment could cause problems in that area.
DESCRIPTION: Propagate CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
Distributed functions could be replaced, which should be propagated to the workers to keep the function in sync between all nodes.
Due to the complexity of deparsing the `CreateFunctionStmt` we actually produce the plan during the processing phase of our utilityhook. Since the changes have already been made in the catalog tables we can reuse `pg_get_functiondef` to get us the generated `CREATE OR REPLACE` sql.
DESCRIPTION: Propagate ALTER FUNCTION statements for distributed functions
Using the implemented deparser for function statements to propagate changes to both functions and procedures that are previously distributed.
This PR aims to add all the necessary logic to qualify and deparse all possible `{ALTER|DROP} .. {FUNCTION|PROCEDURE}` queries.
As Procedures are introduced in PG11, the code contains many PG version checks. I tried my best to make it easy to clean up once we drop PG10 support.
Here are some caveats:
- I assumed that the parse tree is a valid one. There are some queries that are not allowed, but still are parsed successfully by postgres planner. Such queries will result in errors in execution time. (e.g. `ALTER PROCEDURE p STRICT` -> `STRICT` action is valid for functions but not procedures. Postgres decides to parse them nevertheless.)
When a function is marked as colocated with a distributed table,
we try delegating queries of kind "SELECT func(...)" to workers.
We currently only support this simple form, and don't delegate
forms like "SELECT f1(...), f2(...)", "SELECT f1(...) FROM ...",
or function calls inside transactions.
As a side effect, we also fix the transactional semantics of DO blocks.
Previously we didn't consider a DO block a multi-statement transaction.
Now we do.

Since the distributed functions are useful when the workers have
metadata, we automatically sync it.
Also, after master_add_node(). We do it lazily and let the deamon
sync it. That's mainly because the metadata syncing cannot be done
in transaction blocks, and we don't want to add lots of transactional
limitations to master_add_node() and create_distributed_function().
DESCRIPTION: Provide a GUC to turn of the new dependency propagation functionality
In the case the dependency propagation functionality introduced in 9.0 causes issues to a cluster of a user they can turn it off almost completely. The only dependency that will still be propagated and kept track of is the schema to emulate the old behaviour.
GUC to change is `citus.enable_object_propagation`. When set to `false` the functionality will be mostly turned off. Be aware that objects marked as distributed in `pg_dist_object` will still be kept in the catalog as a distributed object. Alter statements to these objects will not be propagated to workers and may cause desynchronisation.
DESCRIPTION: Rename remote types during type propagation
To prevent data to be destructed when a remote type differs from the type on the coordinator during type propagation we wanted to rename the type instead of `DROP CASCADE`.
This patch removes the `DROP` logic and adds the creation of a rename statement to a free name.
DESCRIPTION: Add feature flag to turn off create type propagation
When `citus.enable_create_type_propagation` is set to `false` citus will not propagate `CREATE TYPE` statements to the workers. Types are still distributed when tables that depend on these types are distributed.
This PR simply adds the columns to pg_dist_object and
implements the necessary metadata changes to keep track of
distribution argument of the functions/procedures.
DESCRIPTION: Distribute Types to worker nodes
When to propagate
==============
There are two logical moments that types could be distributed to the worker nodes
- When they get used ( just in time distribution )
- When they get created ( proactive distribution )
The just in time distribution follows the model used by how schema's get created right before we are going to create a table in that schema, for types this would be when the table uses a type as its column.
The proactive distribution is suitable for situations where it is benificial to have the type on the worker nodes directly. They can later on be used in queries where an intermediate result gets created with a cast to this type.
Just in time creation is always the last resort, you cannot create a distributed table before the type gets created. A good example use case is; you have an existing postgres server that needs to scale out. By adding the citus extension, add some nodes to the cluster, and distribute the table. The type got created before citus existed. There was no moment where citus could have propagated the creation of a type.
Proactive is almost always a good option. Types are not resource intensive objects, there is no performance overhead of having 100's of types. If you want to use them in a query to represent an intermediate result (which happens in our test suite) they just work.
There is however a moment when proactive type distribution is not beneficial; in transactions where the type is used in a distributed table.
Lets assume the following transaction:
```sql
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE tt1 AS (a int, b int);
CREATE TABLE t1 AS (a int PRIMARY KEY, b tt1);
SELECT create_distributed_table('t1', 'a');
\copy t1 FROM bigdata.csv
```
Types are node scoped objects; meaning the type exists once per worker. Shards however have best performance when they are created over their own connection. For the type to be visible on all connections it needs to be created and committed before we try to create the shards. Here the just in time situation is most beneficial and follows how we create schema's on the workers. Outside of a transaction block we will just use 1 connection to propagate the creation.
How propagation works
=================
Just in time
-----------
Just in time propagation hooks into the infrastructure introduced in #2882. It adds types as a supported object in `SupportedDependencyByCitus`. This will make sure that any object being distributed by citus that depends on types will now cascade into types. When types are depending them self on other objects they will get created first.
Creation later works by getting the ddl commands to create the object by its `ObjectAddress` in `GetDependencyCreateDDLCommands` which will dispatch types to `CreateTypeDDLCommandsIdempotent`.
For the correct walking of the graph we follow array types, when later asked for the ddl commands for array types we return `NIL` (empty list) which makes that the object will not be recorded as distributed, (its an internal type, dependant on the user type).
Proactive distribution
---------------------
When the user creates a type (composite or enum) we will have a hook running in `multi_ProcessUtility` after the command has been applied locally. Running after running locally makes that we already have an `ObjectAddress` for the type. This is required to mark the type as being distributed.
Keeping the type up to date
====================
For types that are recorded in `pg_dist_object` (eg. `IsObjectDistributed` returns true for the `ObjectAddress`) we will intercept the utility commands that alter the type.
- `AlterTableStmt` with `relkind` set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate changes to the fields of a composite type.
- `DropStmt` with removeType set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate `DROP TYPE`.
- `AlterEnumStmt` encapsulates changes to enum values.
Enum types can not be changed transactionally. When the execution on a worker fails a warning will be shown to the user the propagation was incomplete due to worker communication failure. An idempotent command is shown for the user to re-execute when the worker communication is fixed.
Keeping types up to date is done via the executor. Before the statement is executed locally we create a plan on how to apply it on the workers. This plan is executed after we have applied the statement locally.
All changes to types need to be done in the same transaction for types that have already been distributed and will fail with an error if parallel queries have already been executed in the same transaction. Much like foreign keys to reference tables.

* shards. In other words, local execution does not deal with any local tables
* that are not shards on the node that the query is being executed. In that sense,
* the local executor is only triggered if the node has both the metadata and the
* shards (e.g., only Citus MX worker nodes).
*
* The goal of the local execution is to skip the unnecessary network round-trip
* happening on the node itself. Instead, identify the locally executable tasks and
* simply call PostgreSQL's planner and executor.
*
* The local executor is an extension of the adaptive executor. So, the executor uses
* adaptive executor's custom scan nodes.
*
* One thing to note that Citus MX is only supported with replication factor = 1, so
* keep that in mind while continuing the comments below.
*
* On the high level, there are 3 slightly different ways of utilizing local execution:
*
* (1) Execution of local single shard queries of a distributed table
*
* This is the simplest case. The executor kicks at the start of the adaptive
* executor, and since the query is only a single task the execution finishes
* without going to the network at all.
*
* Even if there is a transaction block (or recursively planned CTEs), as long
* as the queries hit the shards on the same, the local execution will kick in.
*
* (2) Execution of local single queries and remote multi-shard queries
*
* The rule is simple. If a transaction block starts with a local query execution,
* all the other queries in the same transaction block that touch any local shard
* have to use the local execution. Although this sounds restrictive, we prefer to
* implement in this way, otherwise we'd end-up with as complex scenarious as we
* have in the connection managements due to foreign keys.
*
* See the following example:
* BEGIN;
* -- assume that the query is executed locally
* SELECT count(*) FROM test WHERE key = 1;
*
* -- at this point, all the shards that reside on the
* -- node is executed locally one-by-one. After those finishes
* -- the remaining tasks are handled by adaptive executor
* SELECT count(*) FROM test;
*
*
* (3) Modifications of reference tables
*
* Modifications to reference tables have to be executed on all nodes. So, after the
* local execution, the adaptive executor keeps continuing the execution on the other
* nodes.
*
* Note that for read-only queries, after the local execution, there is no need to
* kick in adaptive executor.
*
* There are also few limitations/trade-offs that is worth mentioning. First, the
* local execution on multiple shards might be slow because the execution has to
* happen one task at a time (e.g., no parallelism). Second, if a transaction
* block/CTE starts with a multi-shard command, we do not use local query execution
* since local execution is sequential. Basically, we do not want to lose parallelism
* across local tasks by switching to local execution. Third, the local execution
* currently only supports queries. In other words, any utility commands like TRUNCATE,
* fails if the command is executed after a local execution inside a transaction block.
* Forth, the local execution cannot be mixed with the executors other than adaptive,
* namely task-tracker, real-time and router executors. Finally, related with the
* previous item, COPY command cannot be mixed with local execution in a transaction.
* The implication of that any part of INSERT..SELECT via coordinator cannot happen
* via the local execution.

DESCRIPTION: Refactor ensure schema exists to dependency exists
Historically we only supported schema's as table dependencies to be created on the workers before a table gets distributed. This PR puts infrastructure in place to walk pg_depend to figure out which dependencies to create on the workers. Currently only schema's are supported as objects to create before creating a table.
We also keep track of dependencies that have been created in the cluster. When we add a new node to the cluster we use this catalog to know which objects need to be created on the worker.
Side effect of knowing which objects are already distributed is that we don't have debug messages anymore when creating schema's that are already created on the workers.
* Add tuplestore helpers
* More detailed error messages in tuplestore
* Add CreateTupleDescCopy to SetupTuplestore
* Use new SetupTuplestore helper function
* Remove unnecessary copy
* Remove comment about undefined behaviour

clang raises a warning due to FunctionCall2InfoData technically being variable sized
This is fine, as the struct is the size we want it to be. So silence the warning
