With this commit, rebalancer backends are identified by application_name = citus_rebalancer
and the regular internal backends are identified by application_name = citus_internal
BEGIN/COMMIT transaction block or in a UDF calling another UDF.
(2) Prohibit/Limit the delegated function not to do a 2PC (or any work on a
remote connection).
(3) Have a safety net to ensure the (2) i.e. we should block the connections
from the delegated procedure or make sure that no 2PC happens on the node.
(4) Such delegated functions are restricted to use only the distributed argument
value.
Note: To limit the scope of the project we are considering only Functions(not
procedures) for the initial work.
DESCRIPTION: Introduce a new flag "force_delegation" in create_distributed_function(),
which will allow a function to be delegated in an explicit transaction block.
Fixes#3265
Once the function is delegated to the worker, on that node during the planning

This also fixes a minor issue: Properly handle expressions+parameters in distribution arguments
Before that PR we were updating citus.pg_dist_object metadata, which keeps
the metadata related to objects on Citus, only on the coordinator node. In
order to allow using those object from worker nodes (or erroring out with
proper error message) we've started to propagate that metedata to worker
nodes as well.
- [x] Add some more regression test coverage
- [x] Make sure returning works fine in case of
local execution + remote execution
(task->partiallyLocalOrRemote works as expected, already added tests)
- [x] Implement locking properly (and add isolation tests)
- [x] We do #shardcount round-trips on `SerializeNonCommutativeWrites`.
We made it a single round-trip.
- [x] Acquire locks for subselects on the workers & add isolation tests
- [x] Add a GUC to prevent modification from the workers, hence increase the
coordinator-only throughput
- The performance slightly drops (~%15), unless
`citus.allow_modifications_from_workers_to_replicated_tables`
is set to false
update_distributed_table_colocation can be called by the relation
owner, and internally it updates pg_dist_partition. With this
commit, update_distributed_table_colocation uses an internal
UDF to access pg_dist_partition.
As a result, this operation can now be done by regular users
on MX.
Before this commit, we always synced the metadata with superuser.
However, that creates various edge cases such as visibility errors
or self distributed deadlocks or complicates user access checks.
Instead, with this commit, we use the current user to sync the metadata.
Note that, `start_metadata_sync_to_node` still requires super user
because accessing certain metadata (like pg_dist_node) always require
superuser (e.g., the current user should be a superuser).
However, metadata syncing operations regarding the distributed
tables can now be done with regular users, as long as the user
is the owner of the table. A table owner can still insert non-sense
metadata, however it'd only affect its own table. So, we cannot do
anything about that.
