DESCRIPTION: Move pg_dist_object to pg_catalog
Historically `pg_dist_object` had been created in the `citus` schema as an experiment to understand if we could move our catalog tables to a branded schema. We quickly realised that this interfered with the UX on our managed services and other environments, where users connected via a user with the name of `citus`.
By default postgres put the username on the search_path. To be able to read the catalog in the `citus` schema we would need to grant access permissions to the schema. This caused newly created objects like tables etc, to default to this schema for creation. This failed due to the write permissions to that schema.
With this change we move the `pg_dist_object` catalog table to the `pg_catalog` schema, where our other schema's are also located. This makes the catalog table visible and readable by any user, like our other catalog tables, for debugging purposes.
Note: due to the change of schema, we had to disable 1 test that was running into a discrepancy between the schema and binary. Secondly, we needed to make the lookup functions for the `pg_dist_object` relation and their indexes less strict on the fallback of the naming due to an other test that, due to an unfortunate cache invalidation, needed to lookup the relation again. This makes that we won't default to _only_ resolving from `pg_catalog` outside of upgrades.
Clusters created pre-Citus 11 mostly didn't have metadata sync enabled.
For those clusters, we add a utility UDF which fixes some minor issues
and sync the necessary objects to the workers.
Replaces citus.enable_object_propagation with citus.enable_metadata_sync
Also, within Citus 11 release cycle, we added citus.enable_metadata_sync_by_default,
that is also replaced with citus.enable_metadata_sync.
In essence, when citus.enable_metadata_sync is set to true, all the objects
and the metadata is send to the remote node.
We strongly advice that the users never changes the value of
this GUC.
With this commit we've started to propagate sequences and shell
tables within the object dependency resolution. So, ensuring any
dependencies for any object will consider shell tables and sequences
as well. Separate logics for both shell tables and sequences have
been removed.
Since both shell tables and sequences logic were implemented as a
part of the metadata handling before that logic, we were propagating
them while syncing table metadata. With this commit we've divided
metadata (which means anything except shards thereafter) syncing
logic into multiple parts and implemented it either as a part of
ActivateNode. You can check the functions called in ActivateNode
to check definition of different metadata.
Definitions of start_metadata_sync_to_node and citus_activate_node
have also been updated. citus_activate_node will basically create
an active node with all metadata and reference table shards.
start_metadata_sync_to_node will be same with citus_activate_node
except replicating reference tables. stop_metadata_sync_to_node
will remove all the metadata. All of those UDFs need to be called
by superuser.
With Citus 11, the default behavior is to sync the metadata.
However, partitioned tables created pre-Citus 11 might have
index names that are not compatiable with metadata syncing.
See https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/4962 for the
details.
With this commit, we record the existence of partitioned tables
such that we can fix it later if any exists.
During pg upgrades, we have seen that it is not guaranteed that a
columnar table will be created after metadata objects got created.
Prior to changes done in this commit, we had such a dependency
relationship in `pg_depend`:
```
columnar_table ----> columnarAM ----> citus extension
^ ^
| |
columnar.storage_id_seq -------------------- |
|
columnar.stripe -------------------------------
```
Since `pg_upgrade` just knows to follow topological sort of the objects
when creating database dump, above dependency graph doesn't imply that
`columnar_table` should be created before metadata objects such as
`columnar.storage_id_seq` and `columnar.stripe` are created.
For this reason, with this commit we add new records to `pg_depend` to
make columnarAM depending on all rel objects living in `columnar`
schema. That way, `pg_upgrade` will know it needs to create those before
creating `columnarAM`, and similarly, before creating any tables using
`columnarAM`.
Note that in addition to inserting those records via installation script,
we also do the same in `citus_finish_pg_upgrade()`. This is because,
`pg_upgrade` rebuilds catalog tables in the new cluster and that means,
we must insert them in the new cluster too.
We recently introduced a set of patches to 10.2, and introduced 10.2-4
migration version. This migration version only resides on `release-10.2`
branch, and is missing on our default branch. This creates a problem
because we do not have a valid migration path from 10.2 to latest 11.0.
To remedy this issue, I copied the relevant migration files from
`release-10.2` branch, and renamed some of our migration files on
default branch to make sure we have a linear upgrade path.
Considering all code-paths that we might interact with a columnar table,
add `CheckCitusVersion` calls to tableAM callbacks:
- initializing table scan (`columnar_beginscan` & `columnar_index_fetch_begin`)
- setting a new filenode for a relation (storage initializiation or a table rewrite)
- truncating the storage
- inserting tuple (single and multi)
Also add `CheckCitusVersion` call to:
- drop hook (`ColumnarTableDropHook`)
- `alter_columnar_table_set` & `alter_columnar_table_reset` UDFs
We often change result types of functions slightly. Our downgrade tests
wouldn't notice these changes. This change adds them to the description
of these items.
An example of an SQL change that isn't caught without this change and is
caught with the get_rebalance_progress change in this PR:
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/4963
As the previous versions of Citus don't know how to handle citus local
tables, we should prevent downgrading from 9.5 to older versions if any
citus local tables exists.
DESCRIPTION: Alter role only works for citus managed roles
Alter role was implemented before we implemented good role management that hooks into the object propagation framework. This is a refactor of all alter role commands that have been implemented to
- be on by default
- only work for supported roles
- make the citus extension owner a supported role
Instead of distributing the alter role commands for roles at the beginning of the node activation role it now _only_ executes the alter role commands for all users in all databases and in the current database.
In preparation of full role support small refactors have been done in the deparser.
Earlier tests targeting other roles than the citus extension owner have been either slightly changed or removed to be put back where we have full role support.
Fixes#2549
- 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
