Postgres provides OS agnosting formatting macros for
formatting 64 bit numbers. Replaced %ld %lu with
INT64_FORMAT and UINT64_FORMAT respectively.
Also found some incorrect usages of formatting
flags and fixed them.
We added the ability to filter out the planner restriction information
for specific parts of the query. This might lead to situations where
the common restriction includes some other relations that we're searching
for. The reason is that while filtering for join restrictions, we add the
restriction as soon as we find the relation.
With this commit we make sure that the common attribute
equivalance class always includes the input relations.
In subquery pushdown, we first ensure that each relation is joined with at least
on another relation on the partition keys. That's fine given that the decision
is binary: pushdown the query at all or not.
With recursive planning, we'd want to check whether any specific part
of the query can be pushded down or not. Thus, we need the ability to
understand which part(s) of the subquery is safe to pushdown. This commit
adds the infrastructure for doing that.
Note that we used to iterate over the RTEs once for performance reasons.
However, keeping an extra copy of original query seems more costly and
hard to maintain/explain.
Subquery pushdown planning is based on relation restriction
equivalnce. This brings us the opportuneatly to allow any
other joins as long as there is an already equi join between
the distributed tables.
We already allow that for joins with reference tables and
this commit allows that for joins among distributed tables.
With this commit, we allow pushing down subqueries with only
reference tables where GROUP BY or DISTINCT clause or Window
functions include only columns from reference tables.
Store pointers to shared hashes in process-local variables. Previously
pointers to shared hashes were put into shared memory. This causes
problems on EXEC_BACKEND because everybody calls execve and receives a
brand new address space; the shared hash will be in a different place
for every backend. (normally we call fork, which gives you a copy of the
address space, so these pointers remain constant)
Autovacuum process cancels itself if any modification starts
on the table in order to avoid blocking your regular Postgres
sessions. That's normal and expected. Thus, any locks held by
autovacuum process cannot involve in a distributed deadlock
since it'll be released if needed.
These locks are held for a very short duration time and cannot
contribute to a deadlock. Speculative locks are used by Postgres
for internal notification mechanism among transactions.
While attaching a partition to a distributed table in schema, we mistakenly
used unqualified name to find partitioned table's oid. This caused problems
while using partitioned tables with schemas. We are fixing this issue in
this PR.
Short-term share/exclusive page-level locks are used for
read/write access. Locks are released immediately after
each index row is fetched or inserted.
Since those locks may not lead to any deadlocks, it's safe
to ignore them in the distributed deadlock detection.
In DistributedTablesSize() we didn't close the relations that had
replication factor > 2. This caused relcache reference leaks, and
warning messages like following in logs:
WARNING: relcache reference leak: relation "researchers" not closed
It's possible to build INSERT SELECT queries which include implicit
casts, currently we attempt to support these by adding explicit casts to
the SELECT query, but this sometimes crashes because we don't update all
nodes with the new types. (SortClauses, for instance)
This commit removes those explicit casts and passes an unmodified SELECT
query to the COPY executor (how we implement INSERT SELECT under the
scenes). In lieu of those cases, COPY has been given some extra logic to
inspect queries, notice that the types don't line up with the table it's
supposed to be inserting into, and "manually" casting every tuple before
sending them to workers.
ShardPlacementList's implementation can return NIL. In previous implementation
we got a segmentation fault in this case. The relation can be dropped after
getting distributed table list but before calling SingleReplicatedTable().
If we don't propagate the errors we are catching in PG_CATCH(), database's
internal state might not be clean. So we do PG_TRY() inside a subtransaction
so we can rollback to it after catching errors.
This patch adds --with-reports-host configure option, which sets the
REPORTS_BASE_URL constant. The default is reports.citusdata.com.
It also enables stats collection in tests.
Curl writes the received response to stdout if we don't specify a response
callback or an output file. This can pollute the PostgreSQL log. In this change
we add a callback function so the response messages aren't added to the log file.
Sends a request to /v1/releases/latest?flavor=$CITUS_EDITION once a day,
which returns a response similar to {"version": "7.1.0", "major": 7,
"minor": 1, "patch": 0}. Then compares it with current Citus version,
and if the latest release is newer, logs a LOG message.
This includes:
(1) Wrap everything inside a StartTransactionCommand()/CommitTransactionCommand().
This is so we can access the database. This also switches to a new memory context
and releases it, so we don't have to do our own memory management.
(2) LockCitusExtension() so the extension cannot be dropped or created concurrently.
(3) Check CitusHasBeenLoaded() && CheckCitusVersion() before doing any work.
(4) Do not PG_TRY() inside a loop.
This commit makes a change in relay_event_utility.c to check if the
Alter Table command adds a constraint using index. If this is the
case, it appends the shard id to the index name.
By this commit, citus minds the replica identity of the table when
we distribute the table. So the shards of the distributed table
have the same replica identity with the local table.
Expands count distinct coverage by allowing more cases. We used to support
count distinct only if we can push down distinct aggregate to worker query
i.e. the count distinct clause was on the partition column of the table,
or there was a grouping on the partition column.
Now we can support
- non-partition columns, with or without grouping on partition column
- partition, and non partition column in the same query
- having clause
- single table subqueries
- insert into select queries
- join queries where count distinct is on partition, or non-partition column
- filters on count distinct clauses (extends existing support)
We first try to push down aggregate to worker query (original case), if we
can't then we modify worker query to return distinct columns to coordinator
node. We do that by adding distinct column targets to group by clauses. Then
we perform count distinct operation on the coordinator node.
This work should reduce the cases where HLL is used as it can address anything
that HLL can. However, if we start having performance issues due to very large
number rows, then we can recommend hll use.
This change introduces the `pg_dist_node_metadata` which has a single jsonb value. When creating
the extension, a random server id is generated and stored in there. Everything in the metadata table
is added as a nested objected to the json payload that is sent to the reports server.
The following scenario can cause an Assert() crash if we don't do this:
- Install Citus v7.0-15
- Restart server & run a query to start maintenanced.
- Install Citus v7.1
- Restart server & run a query. This will tell user to upgrade.
- Type "UPDATE EXTENSION c" & press tab. maintenanced will start and crash
with Assert(CitusHasBeenLoaded() && CheckCitusVersion(WARNING));
This change checks Citus version before calling metadata functions so the
crash doesn't happen.
This will provide the full project name (i.e. Citus/Citus Enterprise),
and the host system, compiler, and architecture word size.
I wanted to limit the number of copied files in 'config', so I added
only config.guess and call it manually, rather than using the macro
AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which requires several other files.
Eclipse apparently doesn't scan build output looking for -D flags, so
having the value actually appear in a header is nicer for those of us
using IDEs.
Previously <curl/curl.h> was included even if compiled --without-libcurl.
This can fail when libcurl headers are not there. This commit guards this
include by checks for HAVE_LIBCURL.
Adds ```citus.enable_statistics_collection``` GUC variable, which ```true``` by default, unless built without libcurl. If statistics collection is enabled, sends basic usage data to Citus servers every 24 hours.
The data that is collected consists of:
- Citus version
- OS name & release
- Hardware Id
- Number of tables, rounded to next power of 2
- Size of data, rounded to next power of 2
- Number of workers
This commit provides the support for window functions in subquery and insert
into select queries. Note that our support for window functions is still limited
because it must have a partition by clause on the distribution key. This commit
makes changes in the files insert_select_planner and multi_logical_planner. The
required tests are also added with files multi_subquery_window_functions.out
and multi_insert_select_window.out.
We should skip if the process blocked on the relation
extension since those locks are hold for a short duration
while the relation is actually extended on the disk and
released as soon as the extension is done. Thus, recording
such waits on our lock graphs could yield detecting wrong
distributed deadlocks.
We sent multiple commands to worker when starting a transaction.
Previously we only checked the result of the first command that
is transaction 'BEGIN' which always succeeds. Any failure on
following commands were not checked.
With this commit, we make sure all command results are checked.
If there is any error we report the first error found.
When a table and it's shards are dropped, and afterwards the same
shard identifiers are reused, e.g. due to a DROP & CREATE EXTENSION,
the old entry in the shard cache and the required entry in the shard
cache might be for different tables.
Force invalidation for both old and new table to fix.
Citus can handle INSERT INTO ... SELECT queries if the query inserts
into local table by reading data from distributed table. The opposite
way is not correct. With this commit we warn the user if the latter
option is used.
When a NULL connection is provided to PQerrorMessage(), the
returned error message is a static text. Modifying that static
text, which doesn't necessarly be in a writeable memory, is
dangreous and might cause a segfault.
With this commit, we relax the restrictions put on the reference
tables with subquery pushdown.
We did three notable improvements:
1) Relax equi-join restrictions
Previously, we always expected that the non-reference tables are
equi joined with reference tables on the partition key of the
non-reference table.
With this commit, we allow any column of non-reference tables
joined using non-equi joins as well.
2) Relax OUTER JOIN restrictions
Previously Citus errored out if any reference table exists at
any point of the outer part of an outer join. For instance,
See the below sketch where (h) denotes a hash distributed relation,
(r) denotes a reference table, (L) denotes LEFT JOIN and
(I) denotes INNER JOIN.
(L)
/ \
(I) h
/ \
r h
Before this commit Citus would error out since a reference table
appears on the left most part of an left join. However, that was
too restrictive so that we only error out if the reference table
is directly below and in the outer part of an outer join.
3) Bug fixes
We've done some minor bugfixes in the existing implementation.
If after the distributed deadlock detection decides to cancel
a backend, the backend has been terminated/killed/cancelled
externally, we might be accessing to a NULL pointer. This commit
prevents that case by ignoring the current distributed deadlock.
This is necessary for multi-row INSERTs for the same reasons we use it
in e.g. UPSERTs: if the range table list has more than one entry, then
PostgreSQL's deparse logic requires that vars be prefixed by the name
of their corresponding range table entry. This of course doesn't affect
single-row INSERTs, but since multi-row INSERTs have a VALUE RTE, they
were affected.
The piece of ruleutils which builds range table names wasn't modified
to handle shard extension; instead UPSERT/INSERT INTO ... SELECT added
an alias to the RTE. When present, this alias is favored. Doing the
same in the multi-row INSERT case fixes RETURNING for such commands.
This change adds support for SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
When transaction connections are not established yet, savepoints are kept in a stack and sent to the worker when the connection is later established. After establishing connections, savepoint commands are sent as they arrive.
This change fixes#1493 .
We should prevent running the deadlock detection if
there is a major version change. Otherwise, the daemon
may access to obsolete metadata catalog tables.
This change fixes a use-after-free bug while renaming obsolete
`pg_worker_list.conf` file, which causes Citus to crash during upgrade
(or even extension creation) if `pg_worker_list.conf` exists.
We added a new field to the transaction id that is set to true only
for the transactions initialized on the coordinator. This is only
useful for MX in order to distinguish the transaction that started
the distributed transaction on the coordinator where we could
have the same transactions' worker queries on the same node.
We added a new GUC citus.log_distributed_deadlock_detection
which is off by default. When set to on, we log some debug messages
related to the distributed deadlock to the server logs.
With this commit, the maintenance deamon starts to check for
distributed deadlocks.
We also introduced a GUC variable (distributed_deadlock_detection_factor)
whose value is multiplied with Postgres' deadlock_timeout. Setting
it to -1 disables the distributed deadlock detection.
We send SIGINT to a backend that is cancelled due to a deadlock. That
approach ends up being a very confusing error message.
With this commit we intercept the error messages and show a more
meaningful error message to the user.
Now that we already have the necessary infrastructure for detecting
distributed deadlocks. Thus, we don't need enable_deadlock_prevention
which is purely intended for preventing some forms of distributed
deadlocks.
This commit adds all the necessary pieces to do the distributed
deadlock detection.
Each distributed transaction is already assigned with distributed
transaction ids introduced with
3369f3486f. The dependency among the
distributed transactions are gathered with
80ea233ec1.
With this commit, we implement a DFS (depth first seach) on the
dependency graph and search for cycles. Finding a cycle reveals
a distributed deadlock.
Once we find the deadlock, we examine the path that the cycle exists
and cancel the youngest distributed transaction.
Note that, we're not yet enabling the deadlock detection by default
with this commit.
This GUC has two settings, 'always' and 'never'. When it's set to
'never' all behavior stays exactly as it was prior to this commit. When
it's set to 'always' only SELECT queries are allowed to run, and only
secondary nodes are used when processing those queries.
Add some helper functions:
- WorkerNodeIsSecondary(), checks the noderole of the worker node
- WorkerNodeIsReadable(), returns whether we're currently allowed to
read from this node
- ActiveReadableNodeList(), some functions (namely, the ones on the
SELECT path) don't require working with Primary Nodes. They should call
this function instead of ActivePrimaryNodeList(), because the latter
will error out in contexts where we're not allowed to write to nodes.
- ActiveReadableNodeCount(), like the above, replaces
ActivePrimaryNodeCount().
- EnsureModificationsCanRun(), error out if we're not currently allowed
to run queries which modify data. (Either we're in read-only mode or
use_secondary_nodes is set)
Some parts of the code were switched over to use readable nodes instead
of primary nodes:
- Deadlock detection
- DistributedTableSize,
- the router, real-time, and task tracker executors
- ShardPlacement resolution
This change declares two new functions:
`master_update_table_statistics` updates the statistics of shards belong
to the given table as well as its colocated tables.
`get_colocated_shard_array` returns the ids of colocated shards of a
given shard.
This is a pretty substantial refactoring of the existing modify path
within the router executor and planner. In particular, we now hunt for
all VALUES range table entries in INSERT statements and group the rows
contained therein by shard identifier. These rows are stashed away for
later in "ModifyRoute" elements. During deparse, the appropriate RTE
is extracted from the Query and its values list is replaced by these
rows before any SQL is generated.
In this way, we can create multiple Tasks, but only one per shard, to
piecemeal execute a multi-row INSERT. The execution of jobs containing
such tasks now exclusively go through the "multi-router executor" which
was previously used for e.g. INSERT INTO ... SELECT.
By piggybacking onto that executor, we participate in ongoing trans-
actions, get rollback-ability, etc. In short order, the only remaining
use of the "single modify" router executor will be for bare single-
row INSERT statements (i.e. those not in a transaction).
This change appropriately handles deferred pruning as well as master-
evaluated functions.
We use the backend shared memory lock for preventing
new backends to be part of a new distributed transaction
or an existing backend to leave a distributed transaction
while we're reading the all backends' data.
The primary goal is to provide consistent view of the
current distributed transactions while doing the
deadlock detection.
