I removed two braces to have this function remain more similar to the
original PostgreSQL function and added uncrustify commands to disable
formatting of its contents.
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.
Previously we used, for historical reasons, MessageContext.
That is problematic if a single message from the client
causes a lot of statements to be planned. E.g. for the
copy_to_distributed_table script one insert statement
is planned for each row inserted via COPY, and only freed
when COPY has finished.
This entirely removes any restriction on the type of partitioning
during DML planning and execution. Though there aren't actually any
technical limitations preventing DML commands against append- (or even
range-) partitioned tables, we had initially forbidden this, as any
future stage operation could cause shards to overlap, banning all
subsequent DML operations to partition values contained within more
than one shards. This ended up mostly restricting us, so we're now
removing that restriction.
When two data types have the same binary representation, PostgreSQL may
add an implicit coercion between them by wrapping a node in a relabel
type. This wrapper signals that the wrapped value is completely binary
compatible with the designated "final type" of the relabel node. As an
example, the varchar type is often relabeled to text, since functions
provided for use with text (comparisons, hashes, etc.) are completely
compatible with varchar as well.
The hash-partitioned codepath contains functions that verify queries
actually contain an equality constraint on the partition column, but
those functions expect such constraints to be comparison operations
between a Var and Const. The RelabelType wrapper node causes these
functions to always return false, which bypasses shard pruning.
