This commit adds a fast shard pruning path for INSERTs on
hash-partitioned tables. The rationale behind this change is
that if there exists a sorted shard interval array, a single
index lookup on the array allows us to find the corresponding
shard interval. As mentioned above, we need a sorted
(wrt shardminvalue) shard interval array. Thus, this commit
updates shardIntervalArray to sortedShardIntervalArray in the
metadata cache. Then uses the low-level API that is defined in
multi_copy to handle the fast shard pruning.
The performance impact of this change is more apparent as more
shards exist for a distributed table. Previous implementation
was relying on linear search through the shard intervals. However,
this commit relies on constant lookup time on shard interval
array. Thus, the shard pruning becomes less dependent on the
shard count.
When we notice that pg_dist_partition is being invalidated we assume
that the citus extension is being dropped and drop state such as
extensionLoaded and the cached oids of all the metadata tables.
This frees the user from needing to reconnect after running DROP
EXTENSION, so we also no longer send a warning message.
Prior to this change, performing a SELECT query without a target
list caused backend to crash.
Sample Query: SELECT FROM github_events; (without any * before FROM)
PostgreSQL:
```
--
(39599 rows)
```
Citus:
```
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
!>
```
The problem was an unnecessary Assert on column list in
SetRangeTblExtraData(citus_nodefuncs.c)
Though Citus' Task struct has a shardId field, it doesn't have the same
semantics as the one previously used in pg_shard code. The analogous
field in the Citus Task is anchorShardId. I've also added an argument
check to the relevant locking function to catch future locking attempts
which pass an invalid argument.
All citusdb references in
- extension, binary names
- file headers
- all configuration name prefixes
- error/warning messages
- some functions names
- regression tests
are changed to be citus.
The postgres_fdw extension has an extern function with an identical
signature, which can cause problems when both extensions are loaded.
A simple rename can fix this for now (this is the only function with)
such a conflict.
