DESCRIPTION: This change starts a maintenance deamon at the time of
server start if there is a designated main database.
This is the code flow:
1. User designates a main database:
`ALTER SYSTEM SET citus.main_db = "myadmindb";`
2. When postmaster starts, in _PG_Init, citus calls
`InitializeMaintenanceDaemonForMainDb`
This function registers a background worker to run
`CitusMaintenanceDaemonMain `with `databaseOid = 0 `
3. `CitusMaintenanceDaemonMain ` takes some special actions when
databaseOid is 0:
- Gets the citus.main_db value.
- Connects to the citus.main_db
- Now the `MyDatabaseId `is available, creates a hash entry for it.
- Then follows the same control flow as for a regular db,
1. Adds an `sql_row` function, for when a query returns a single row
with multiple columns.
2. Include a `notice_handler` for easier debugging
3. Retry dropping replication slots when they are "in use", this is
often an ephemeral state and can cause flaky tests
DESCRIPTION: Adds PG16Beta3 support
This is the final commit that adds
PG16 compatibility with Citus's current features.
You can use Citus community with PG16Beta3. This commit:
- Enables PG16 in the configure script.
- Adds PG16 tests to CI using test images that have 16beta3
- Skips wal2json cdc test since wal2json package is not available for PG16 yet
- Fixes an isolation test

DESCRIPTION: Drops PG13 Support
This commit is the first phase of dropping PG13 support.
It consists of the following:
- Removes pg13 from CI tests
Among other things, Citus upgrade tests should now use PG14.
Earliest Citus version supporting PG14 is 10.2.
We also pick 11.3 version for upgrade_pg_dist_cleanup tests.
Therefore, we run the citus upgrade tests with versions 10.2 and 11.3.
- Removes pg13 from configure script
- Remove upgrade_columnar_metapage upgrade tests
We populate first_row_number column of columnar.stripe table
during citus 10.1-10.2 upgrade. Given that we start from citus 10.2.0,
which is the oldest version supporting PG14, we don't have that
upgrade path anymore. Hence we remove these tests.
- Removes upgrade_pg_dist_object_test and upgrade_partition_constraints tests
These upgrade tests require the citus old version to be less than 10.0.
Given that we drop support for PG13, we run upgrade tests with PG14,
which starts with 10.2.
So we remove these upgrade tests.
- Documents that upgrade_post_11 should upgrade from version less than 11
In this way we make sure we run
citus_finalize_upgrade_to_citus11 script
- Adds needed alternative output for upgrade_citus_finish_citus_upgrade
Given that we use 11.3 as the citus old version as well,
we add this alternative output because pg_catalog.citus_finish_citus_upgrade()
makes sense if last_upgrade_major_version < 11. See below for reference:
pg_catalog.citus_finish_citus_upgrade():
...
IF last_upgrade_major_version < 11 THEN
PERFORM citus_finalize_upgrade_to_citus11();
performed_upgrade := true;
END IF;
IF NOT performed_upgrade THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'already at the latest distributed
schema version (%)', last_upgrade_version_string;
RETURN;
END IF;
...
And that's it :)
The second phase of dropping PG13 support will consist in removing
all the PG13 specific compilation paths/tests in the Citus repo.
Will be done soon.
Citus upgrade tests require some additional logic to run, because we
have a before and after schedule and we need to swap the Citus
version in-between. This adds that logic to `run_test.py`.
In passing this makes running upgrade tests locally multiple times
faster by caching tarballs.
DESCRIPTION: Changes the regression test setups adding the coordinator
to metadata by default.
When creating a Citus cluster, coordinator can be added in metadata
explicitly by running `citus_set_coordinator_host ` function. Adding the
coordinator to metadata allows to create citus managed local tables.
Other Citus functionality is expected to be unaffected.
This change adds the coordinator to metadata by default when creating
test clusters in regression tests.
There are 3 ways to run commands in a sql file (or a schedule which is a
sequence of sql files) with Citus regression tests. Below is how this PR
adds the coordinator to metadata for each.
1. `make <schedule_name>`
Changed the sql files (sql/multi_cluster_management.sql and
sql/minimal_cluster_management.sql) which sets up the test clusters such
that they call `citus_set_coordinator_host`. This ensures any following
tests will have the coordinator in metadata by default.
2. `citus_tests/run_test.py <sql_file_name>`
Changed the python code that sets up the cluster to always call `
citus_set_coordinator_host`.
For the upgrade tests, a version check is included to make sure
`citus_set_coordinator_host` function is available for a given version.
3. ` make check-arbitrary-configs `
Changed the python code that sets up the cluster to always call
`citus_set_coordinator_host `.
#6864 will be used to track the remaining work which is to change the
tests where coordinator is added/removed as a node.
Over the last few months run_test.py got more and more complex. This
refactors the code in `run_test.py` to be better understandable. Mostly
this splits up separate pieces of logic into separate functions.
For some tests such as upgrade tests and arbitrary config tests we set
up the citus cluster using Python. This setup is slightly different from
the perl based setup script (`multi_regress.pl`). Most importantly it
uses replication factor 1 by default.
This changes our run_test.py script to be able to run a schedule using
python instead of `multi_regress.pl`, for the tests that require it.
For now arbitrary config tests are still not runnable with
`run_test.py`, but this brings us one step closer to being able to do
that.
Fixes#6804
Having as little Perl as possible in our repo seems a worthy goal. Sadly
Postgres its Perl based TAP infrastructure was the only way in which we
could
run tests that were hard to do using only SQL commands. This change adds
infrastructure to run such "application style tests" using python and
converts all our existing Perl TAP tests to this new infrastructure.
Some of the helper functions that are added in this PR are currently
unused. Most of these will be used by the CDC PR that depends on this.
Some others are there because they were needed by the PgBouncer test
framework that this is based on, and the functions seemed useful enough
to citus testing to keep.
The main features of the test suite are:
1. Application style tests using a programming language that our
developers know how to write.
2. Caching of Citus clusters in-between tests using the ["fixture"
pattern][fixture] from `pytest` to achieve speedy tests. To make this
work in practice any changes made during a test are automatically
undone. Schemas, replication slots, subscriptions, publications are
dropped at the end of each test. And any changes made by `ALTER SYSTEM`
or manually editing of `pg_hba.conf` are undone too.
3. Automatic parallel execution of tests using the `-n auto` flag that's
added by `pytest-xdist`. This improved the speed of tests greatly with
the similar test framework I created for PgBouncer. Right now it doesn't
help much yet though, since this PR only adds two tests (one of which
takes ~10 times longer than the other).
Possible future improvements are:
1. Clean up even more things at the end of each test (e.g. users that
were created). These are fairly easy to add, but I have not done so yet
since they were not needed yet for this PR or the CDC PR. So I would not
be able to test the cleanup easily.
2. Support for query block detection similar to what we can now do using
isolation tests.

This PR adds a new CI workflow named ```flaky-test``` to run flaky test
detection on newly introduced regression tests.

Our python based tests didn't always copy the normalized files after the
regress run. I had the problem where running the following command would
result in non-normalized files in the expected directory after running
our PG upgrade tests locally:
```
cp src/test/regress/{results,expected}/upgrade_list_citus_objects.out
```
This PR fixes that by always running `copy_modified` even if the tests
fail. The same was already being done for our perl based tests at the
end of the `pg_regress_multi.pl` file.
I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 22.04 a while back and since then some tests
order output slightly differently. I think it might be because of the
glibc upgrade that changed ordering for things like underscores and
spaces.
Changing the locale to C.UTF-8 solves this issue.
In `pg_regress_multi.pl` we're running `initdb` with some options that
the `common.py` `initdb` is currently not using. All these flags seem
reasonable, so this brings `common.py` in line with
`pg_regress_multi.pl`.
In passing change the `--nosync` flag to `--no-sync`, since that's what
the PG documentation lists as the official option name (but both work).
Cluster setup time is significant in arbitrary configs. We can
parallelize this a bit more.
Runtime of the following command decreases from ~25 seconds to ~22
seconds on my machine with this change:
```
make -C src/test/regress/ check-arbitrary-base CONFIGS=CitusDefaultClusterConfig EXTRA_TESTS=prepared_statements_1
```
Currently we can only run different configs in parallel. However, when working on a feature or trying to fix a bug this is not important. In those cases you simply want to run a single test file on a single config. And you want to run that every time you made a change to the code that you think fixes the issue.
This PR allows parallelising running of bash commands. So `initdb` and `pg_ctl start` is run in parallel for all nodes in the cluster. Instead of one waiting for the other.
When you run the above command nothing is being run in parallel.
After this PR, cluster setup is being run in parallel.
To run tests in parallel use:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=4
```
To run tests sequentially use:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=1
```
To run only some configs:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-base CONFIGS=CitusSingleNodeClusterConfig,CitusSmallSharedPoolSizeConfig
```
To run only some test files with some config:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-base CONFIGS=CitusSingleNodeClusterConfig EXTRA_TESTS=dropped_columns_1
```
To get a deterministic run, you can give the random's seed:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=4 seed=12312
```
The `seed` will be in the output of the run.
In our regular regression tests, we can see all the details about either planning or execution but this means
we need to run the same query under different configs/cluster setups again and again, which is not really maintanable.
When we don't care about the internals of how planning/execution is done but the correctness, especially with different configs
this infrastructure can be used.
With `check-arbitrary-configs` target, the following happens:
- a bunch of configs are loaded, which are defined in `config.py`. These configs have different settings such as different shard count, different citus settings, postgres settings, worker amount, or different metadata.
- For each config, a separate data directory is created for tests in `tmp_citus_test` with the config's name.
- For each config, `create_schedule` is run on the coordinator to setup the necessary tables.
- For each config, `sql_schedule` is run. `sql_schedule` is run on the coordinator if it is a non-mx cluster. And if it is mx, it is either run on the coordinator or a random worker.
- Tests results are checked if they match with the expected.
When tests results don't match, you can see the regression diffs in a config's datadir, such as `tmp_citus_tests/dataCitusSingleNodeClusterConfig`.
We also have a PostgresConfig which runs all the test suite with Postgres.
By default configs use regular user, but we have a config to run as a superuser as well.
So the infrastructure tests:
- Postgres vs Citus
- Mx vs Non-Mx
- Superuser vs regular user
- Arbitrary Citus configs
When you want to add a new test, you can add the create statements to `create_schedule` and add the sql queries to `sql_schedule`.
If you are adding Citus UDFs that should be a NO-OP for Postgres, make sure to override the UDFs in `postgres.sql`.
You can add your new config to `config.py`. Make sure to extend either `CitusDefaultClusterConfig` or `CitusMXBaseClusterConfig`.
On the CI, upon a failure, all logfiles will be uploaded as artifacts, so you can check the artifacts tab.
All the regressions will be shown as part of the job on CI.
In your local, you can check the regression diffs in config's datadirs as in `tmp_citus_tests/dataCitusSingleNodeClusterConfig`.
