master_drain_node in distributed_triggers.sql test file takes too
long to execute. It is directly dependent on the shard count.
Hence I reduced shard count from 32 to 4 (default in tests),
since this doesn't affect the validity of the tests.
This change reduces the setup time of our minimal schedules in two ways:
1. Don't run `multi_cluster_managament`, but instead run a much smaller
sql file with almost the same results. `multi_cluster_management`
adds and removes lots of nodes and tests all kinds of failure
scenarios. This is not needed for the minimal schedules. The only
reason we were using it there was to get a working cluster of the
layout that the tests expected. The new `minimal_cluster_management`
test achieves this with much less work, going from ~2s to ~0.5s.
2. Parallelize a bit more of the helper tests.
We are reducing the log level here to avoid alternative test output
in PG15 because of the change in the display of SQL-standard
function's arguments in INSERT/SELECT in PG15.
The log level changes can be reverted when we drop support for PG14

The new shard copy code that was created for shard splits has some
advantages over the old shard copy code. The old code was using
worker_append_table_to_shard, which wrote to disk twice. And it also
didn't use binary copy when that was possible. Both of these issues
were fixed in the new copy code. This PR starts using this new copy
logic also for shard moves, not just for shard splits.
On my local machine I created a single shard table like this.
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a) SELECT i, i from generate_series(1, 100000000) i;
```
I then turned `fsync` off to make sure I wasn't bottlenecked by disk.
Finally I moved this shard between nodes with `citus_move_shard_placement`
with `block_writes`.
Before this PR a move took ~127s, after this PR it took only ~38s. So for this
small test this resulted in spending ~70% less time.
And I also tried the same test for a table that contained large strings:
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint, content text);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a, content) SELECT i, i, 'aunethautnehoautnheaotnuhetnohueoutnehotnuhetncouhaeohuaeochgrhgd.athbetndairgexdbuhaobulrhdbaetoausnetohuracehousncaoehuesousnaceohuenacouhancoexdaseohusnaetobuetnoduhasneouhaceohusnaoetcuhmsnaetohuacoeuhebtokteaoshetouhsanetouhaoug.lcuahesonuthaseauhcoerhuaoecuh.lg;rcydabsnetabuesabhenth' from generate_series(1, 20000000) i;
```
While testing 5670dffd33, I realized
that we have a missing RecordNonDistTableAccessesForTask() for
local utility commands.
Although we don't have to record the relation access for local
only cases, we really want to keep the behaviour for scale-out
be the same with single node on all aspects. We wouldn't want
any single node complex transaction to work on single machine,
but not on multi node cluster. Hence, we apply the same restrictions.
For example, on a distributed cluster, the following errors, and
after this commit this errors locally as well
```SQL
CREATE TABLE ref(a int primary key);
INSERT INTO ref VALUES (1);
CREATE TABLE dist(a int REFERENCES ref(a));
SELECT create_reference_table('ref');
SELECT create_distributed_table('dist', 'a');
BEGIN;
SELECT * FROM dist;
TRUNCATE ref CASCADE;
ERROR: cannot execute DDL on table "ref" because there was a parallel SELECT access to distributed table "dist" in the same transaction
HINT: Try re-running the transaction with "SET LOCAL citus.multi_shard_modify_mode TO 'sequential';"
COMMIT;
```
We also add the comprehensive test suite and run the same locally.
Code snippet in Makefile was blocking Citus build when USE_PGXS flag was set. This was included for port to FSPG but is not needed for Citus engine and can be safely removed.
Reported bug #5803 shows that we are currently not sending the IN clause to our planner for columnar. This PR fixes it by checking for ScalarArrayOpExpr in ExtractPushdownClause so that we do not skip it. Also added a test case for this new addition.
It turns out that create_distributed_table
and citus_move/copy_shard_placement does not
work well concurrently.
To fix that, we need to acquire a lock, which
sounds like a good use of colocation lock.
However, the current usage of colocation lock is
limited to higher level UDFs like rebalance_table_shards
etc. Those usage of lock is still useful, but
we cannot acquire the same lock on citus_move_shard_placement
etc. because the coordinator connects to itself to acquire
the lock. Hence, the high level UDF blocks itself.
To fix that, we use one more colocation lock, with the placements
are the main objects to consider.
Before this commit, we required multiple copies of the
same stringInfo if we needed to append/prepend data to
the stringInfo. Now, we optionally get prefix/postfix.
For large string operations, this can save up to %10
memory.
Previously, CreateFixPartitionShardIndexNames() created all
the relevant query strings for all the shards, and executed
the large query string. And, in terms of the memory consumption,
this huge command (and its ExprContext generated while running
the command) is the main bottleneck/
With this change, we are reducing the total amount of memory
usage to almost 1/shard_count.
On my local machine, a distributed partitioned table with 120 partitions,
each 32 shards, the total memory consumption reduced from ~3GB
to ~0.1GB. And, the total execution time increased from ~28 seconds
to ~30 seconds. This seems like a good trade-off.
We used to only check whether the PID is valid
or not. However, Postgres does not necessarily
set the PID of the backend to 0 when it exists.
Instead, we need to be able to check it from procArray.
IsBackendPid() is what pg_stat_activity also relies
on for a similar purpose.
Historically we have been testing with the 'latest' version of libpq
when the CI images were build. This has the downside that rebuilding the
images often break our tests due to different errors returned from
libpq.
With this change we will actually test with a stable version of libpq
that is based on the postgres minor version that we test against.
This will make it easier to maintain postgres images over time, as well
as running _all_ tests locally, where we change libpq in sync with the
postgres server version.
use RecurseObjectDependencies api to find if an object is citus depended
make vanilla tests runnable to see if citus_depended function is working correctly
citus_locks combines the pg_locks views from all nodes and adds
global_pid, nodeid, and relation_name. The columns of citus_locks don't
change based on the Postgres version, however the pg_locks's columns do.
Postgres 14 added one more column to pg_locks (waitstart timestamptz).
citus_locks has the most expansive column set, including the newly added
column. If citus_locks is queried in a Postgres version where pg_locks
doesn't have some columns, the values for those columns in citus_locks
will be NULL
DESCRIPTION:
This PR extends support for Partitioned and Columnar tables in blocking 'citus_split_shard_by_split_points' workflow.
Columnar Support : No special handling required. Just removing checks that fails split for columnar table and adding test coverage.
Partitioned Table Support :
Skip copying of parent table as they are empty, The partitions contain data and are treated as co-located shards that will be copied separately.
Attach partitions to parent on destination after inserting new shard metadata and before creating foreign key constraints.
MISC:
Fix Bug #4949 where Blocking shard moves fails if there is a foreign key between partitioned distributed tables (from child to parent).
TEST:
Added new test 'citus_split_shards_columnar_partitioned' for splitting 'partitioned' and 'columnar + partitioned' table.
Added new test 'shard_move_constraints_blocking' to add coverage for shard move bug fix.
Updated test 'citus_split_shard_by_split_points_negative' to allow columnar and partitioned table.

Similar to #5897, one more step for running Citus with PG 15.
This PR at least make Citus run with PG 15. I have not tried running the tests with PG 15.
Shmem changes are based on 4f2400cb3f
Compile breaks are mostly due to #6008
This is a continuation of a refactor (with commit sha
2b7cf0c097) that aimed to use Citus helper
UDFs by default in iso tests.
PostgreSQL isolation test infrastructure uses some UDFs to detect
whether concurrent sessions block each other. Citus implements
alternatives to that UDF so that we are able to detect and report
distributed transactions that get blocked on the worker nodes as well.
We needed to explicitly replace PG helper functions with Citus
implementations in each isolation file. Now we replace them by default.

* Added more regression tests for more vacuum options,
* Fixed deadlock for unqualified vacuum when there is only 1 worker,
* Supported lock_skipped for vacuum.
This PR makes all of the features open source that were previously only
available in Citus Enterprise.
Features that this adds:
1. Non blocking shard moves/shard rebalancer
(`citus.logical_replication_timeout`)
2. Propagation of CREATE/DROP/ALTER ROLE statements
3. Propagation of GRANT statements
4. Propagation of CLUSTER statements
5. Propagation of ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...
6. Optimization for COPY when loading JSON to avoid double parsing of
the JSON object (`citus.skip_jsonb_validation_in_copy`)
7. Support for row level security
8. Support for `pg_dist_authinfo`, which allows storing different
authentication options for different users, e.g. you can store
passwords or certificates here.
9. Support for `pg_dist_poolinfo`, which allows using connection poolers
in between coordinator and workers
10. Tracking distributed query execution times using
citus_stat_statements (`citus.stat_statements_max`,
`citus.stat_statements_purge_interval`,
`citus.stat_statements_track`). This is disabled by default.
11. Blocking tenant_isolation
12. Support for `sslkey` and `sslcert` in `citus.node_conninfo`
We already have tests relying on citus_finalize_upgrade_to_citus11().
Now, adjust those to rely on citus_finish_citus_upgrade() and
always call citus_finish_citus_upgrade().
The error comes due to the datum jsonb in pg_dist_metadata_node.metadata being 0 in some scenarios. This is likely due to not copying the data when receiving a datum from a tuple and pg deciding to deallocate that memory when the table that the tuple was from is closed.
Also fix another place in the code that might have been susceptible to this issue.
I tested on both multi-vg and multi-1-vg and the test were successful.
altering the distributed table.
To be able to alter view's owner without enforcing sequential mode.
Alter view process functions have been udpated to use metadata
connection.
Do not obtain AccessShareLock before acquiring the distributed locks.
Acquiring an AccessShareLock ensures that the relations which we are trying to get a distributed lock on will not be dropped in the time between when the LOCK command is issued and the LOCK commands are send to the worker. However, this also leads to distributed deadlocks in such scenarios:
```sql
-- for dist lock acquiring order coor, w1, w2
-- on w2
LOCK t1 IN ACCESS EXLUSIVE MODE;
-- acquire AccessShareLock locally on t1 to ensure it is not dropped while we get ready to distribute the lock
-- concurrently on w1
LOCK t1 IN ACCESS EXLUSIVE MODE;
-- acquire AccessShareLock locally on t1 to ensure it is not dropped while we get ready to distribute the lock
-- acquire dist lock on coor, w1, gets blocked on local AccessShareLock on w2
-- on w2 continuation of the execution above
-- starts to acquire dist locks and gets blocked on the coor by the lock acquired by w1
-- distributed deadlock
```
We opt for avoiding such deadlocks with the cost of the possibility of running into errors when the relations on which we are trying to acquire locks on get dropped.
It is often useful to be able to sync the metadata in parallel
across nodes.
Also citus_finalize_upgrade_to_citus11() uses
start_metadata_sync_to_primary_nodes() after this commit.
Note that this commit does not parallelize all pieces of node
activation or metadata syncing. Instead, it tries to parallelize
potenially large parts of metadata, which is the objects and
distributed tables (in general Citus tables).
In the future, it would be nice to sync the reference tables
in parallel across nodes.

Move internal storage details to a separate schema with no public
access to limit the possibility for information leakage.
Create views with public access that show storage details for those
columnar tables where the user has ownership privileges. Include
mapping between relation ID and storage ID for easier interpretation.
We remove `<waiting ...>` and `<... completed>` outputs for some CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY commands since they can cause flakiness in some scenarios.
Postgres calls WaitForOlderSnapshots() and this can cause CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY commands for shards to get blocked by each other for brief
periods of time. The extra waits can pop-up, or they can get completed
at different lines in the output files. To remedy that, we rename those
indexes to be captured by the new normalization rule.
* Bug fix for bug #5876. Memset MetadataCacheSystem every time there is an abort
* Created an ObjectAccessHook that saves the transactionlevel of when citus was created and will clear metadatacache if that transaction level is rolled back. Added additional tests to make sure metadatacache is cleared
Columnar: support relation options with ALTER TABLE.
Use ALTER TABLE ... SET/RESET to specify relation options rather than
alter_columnar_table_set() and alter_columnar_table_reset().
Not only is this more ergonomic, but it also allows better integration
because it can be treated like DDL on a regular table. For instance,
citus can use its own ProcessUtility_hook to distribute the new
settings to the shards.
