With this PR, we add foreign key support to ALTER TABLE commands. For now,
we only support foreign constraint creation via ALTER TABLE query, if it
is only subcommand in ALTER TABLE subcommand list.
We also only allow foreign key creation if replication factor is 1.
That way connections can be automatically closed after errors and such,
and the connection management infrastructure gets wider testing. It
also fixes a few issues around connection string building.
This includes basic infrastructure for logging of commands sent to
remote/worker nodes. Note that this has no effect as of yet, since no
callers are converted to the new infrastructure.
Connections are tracked and released by integrating into postgres'
transaction handling. That allows to to use connections without having
to resort to having to disable interrupts or using PG_TRY/CATCH blocks
to avoid leaking connections.
This is intended to eventually replace multi_client_executor.c and
connection_cache.c, and to provide the basis of a centralized
transaction management.
The newly introduced transaction hook should, in the future, be the only
one in citus, to allow for proper ordering between operations. For now
this central handler is responsible for releasing connections and
resetting XactModificationLevel after a transaction.
This commit fixes a bug when the SELECT target list includes a constant
value.
Previous behaviour of target list re-ordering:
* Iterate over the INSERT target list
* If it includes a Var, find the corresponding SELECT entry
and update its resno accordingly
* If it does not include a Var (which we only considered to be
DEFAULTs), generate a new SELECT target entry
* If the processed target entry count in SELECT target list is less
than the original SELECT target list (GROUP BY elements not included in
the SELECT target entry), add them in the SELECT target list and
update the resnos accordingly.
* However, this step was leading to add the CONST SELECT target entries
twice. The reason is that when CONST target list entries appear in the
SELECT target list, the INSERT target list doesn't include a Var. Instead,
it includes CONST as it does for DEFAULTs.
New behaviour of target list re-ordering:
* Iterate over the INSERT target list
* If it includes a Var, find the corresponding SELECT entry
and update its resno accordingly
* If it does not include a Var (which we consider to be
DEFAULTs and CONSTs on the SELECT), generate a new SELECT
target entry
* If any target entry remains on the SELECT target list which are resjunk,
(GROUP BY elements not included in the SELECT target entry), keep them
in the SELECT target list by updating the resnos.
While creating a colocated table, we don't want the source table to be dropped.
However, using a ShareLock blocks DML statements on the source table, and
using AccessShareLock is enough to prevent DROP. Therefore, we just loosened
the lock to AccessShareLock.
This change allows seeing the names of columns of `master_add_node`,
using `SELECT * FROM master_add_node(...)` by specifying output
columns in UDF definition.
Previously, we threw an error when we ran CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
with an already existing index. This change enables expected behavior by
checking if the statement has IF NOT EXISTS before throwing the error.
We also ensure that we don't execute the command on the workers, if an
index already exists on the master.
At the moment, we do not support foreign constraints if replication factor is greater
than 1. However foreign constraints can be used in cloud with high availability option.
Therefore we do not want to create an impression such that foreign constraints with
high availability is not supported at all. We call users to action with this error
message.
In ErrorIfShardPlacementsNotColocated(), while checking if shards are colocated,
error out if matching shard intervals have different number of shard placements.
Added a new UDF, mark_tables_colocated(), to colocate tables with the same
configuration (shard count, shard replication count and distribution column type).
Fixcitusdata/citus#886
The way postgres' explain hook is designed means that our hook is never
called during EXPLAIN EXECUTE. So, we special-case EXPLAIN EXECUTE by
catching it in the utility hook. We then replace the EXECUTE with the
original query and pass it back to Citus.
Previously, when a repair is requested on a shard, we also repair all co-located shards
of given shard, which may cause repairing already healthy shards. With this change, we
only repair given shard.
This forces prepared statements to be re-planned after changes of the
placement metadata. There's some locking issues remaining, but that's a
a separate task.
Also add regression tests verifying that invalidations take effect on
prepared statements.
This commit adds INSERT INTO ... SELECT feature for distributed tables.
We implement INSERT INTO ... SELECT by pushing down the SELECT to
each shard. To compute that we use the router planner, by adding
an "uninstantiated" constraint that the partition column be equal to a
certain value. standard_planner() distributes that constraint to all
the tables where it knows how to push the restriction safely. An example
is that the tables that are connected via equi joins.
The router planner then iterates over the target table's shards,
for each we replace the "uninstantiated" restriction, with one that
PruneShardList() handles. Do so by replacing the partitioning qual
parameter added in multi_planner() with the current shard's
actual boundary values. Also, add the current shard's boundary values to the
top level subquery to ensure that even if the partitioning qual is
not distributed to all the tables, we never run the queries on the shards
that don't match with the current shard boundaries. Finally, perform the
normal shard pruning to decide on whether to push the query to the
current shard or not.
We do not support certain SQLs on the subquery, which are described/commented
on ErrorIfInsertSelectQueryNotSupported().
We also added some locking on the router executor. When an INSERT/SELECT command
runs on a distributed table with replication factor >1, we need to ensure that
it sees the same result on each placement of a shard. So we added the ability
such that router executor takes exclusive locks on shards from which the SELECT
in an INSERT/SELECT reads in order to prevent concurrent changes. This is not a
very optimal solution, but it's simple and correct. The
citus.all_modifications_commutative can be used to avoid aggressive locking.
An INSERT/SELECT whose filters are known to exclude any ongoing writes can be
marked as commutative. See RequiresConsistentSnapshot() for the details.
We also moved the decison of whether the multiPlan should be executed on
the router executor or not to the planning phase. This allowed us to
integrate multi task router executor tasks to the router executor smoothly.
The necessity for this functionality comes from the fact that ruleutils.c is not supposed to be
used on "rewritten" queries (i.e. ones that have been passed through QueryRewrite()).
Query rewriting is the process in which views and such are expanded,
and, INSERT/UPDATE targetlists are reordered to match the physical order,
defaults etc. For the details of reordeing, see transformInsertRow().
We'd been relying on a single SET search_path command in an earlier
script, but a subsequent script RESET search_path, causing any further
bare functions to be created in the first schema on the search path.
However, starting with an older extension version and executing ALTER
scripts one at a time DOES avoid putting any functions in the public
namespace, so I wrote an upgrade script resilient to that, especially
because PostgreSQL 9.5 will error out if a function is already in the
schema it's being moved to.
Between restart (running the new code) and ALTER EXTENSION citus
UPGRADE there was an inconsistency where we assumed that
pg_dist_partition had the repmodel column set. Now we give it a default
value if the column doesn't exist yet.
With this change, we now push down foreign key constraints created during CREATE TABLE
statements. We also start to send foreign constraints during shard move along with
other DDL statements
create_reference_table() creates a hash distributed table with shard count
equals to 1 and replication factor equals to shard_replication_factor
configuration value.
Adds support for PostgreSQL 9.6 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
file and refactoring the out/readfuncs code to flexibly support the
old-style copy/pasted out/readfuncs (prior to 9.6) or use extensible
node APIs (in 9.6 and higher).
Most version-specific code within this change is only needed to set new
fields in the AggRef nodes we build for aggregations. Version-specific
test output files were added in certain cases, though in most they were
not necessary. Each such file begins by e.g. printing the major version
in order to clarify its purpose.
The comment atop citus_nodes.h details how to add support for new nodes
for when that becomes necessary.
This change adds the pg_dist_local_group metadata table, which indicates
the group id of the current node. It is expected that this table contains
one and only one row, which only contains the group id of the node as an
integer.
With this change, master_copy_shard_placement and master_move_shard_placement functions
start to copy/move given shard along with its co-located shards.
This commit completes having support in Citus by adding having support for
real-time and task-tracker executors. Multiple tests are added to regression
tests to cover new supported queries with having support.
This change adds the required infrastructure about metadata snapshot from MX
codebase into Citus, mainly metadata_sync.c file and master_metadata_snapshot UDF.
So far placements were assigned an Oid, but that was just used to track
insertion order. It also did so incompletely, as it was not preserved
across changes of the shard state. The behaviour around oid wraparound
was also not entirely as intended.
The newly introduced, explicitly assigned, IDs are preserved across
shard-state changes.
The prime goal of this change is not to improve ordering of task
assignment policies, but to make it easier to reference shards. The
newly introduced UpdateShardPlacementState() makes use of that, and so
will the in-progress connection and transaction management changes.

This change adds the `pg_dist_node` table that contains the information
about the workers in the cluster, replacing the previously used
`pg_worker_list.conf` file (or the one specified with `citus.worker_list_file`).
Upon update, `pg_worker_list.conf` file is read and `pg_dist_node` table is
populated with the file's content. After that, `pg_worker_list.conf` file
is renamed to `pg_worker_list.conf.obsolete`
For adding and removing nodes, the change also includes two new UDFs:
`master_add_node` and `master_remove_node`, which require superuser
permissions.
'citus.worker_list_file' guc is kept for update purposes but not used after the
update is finished.
related to a table that might be distributed, allowing any name
that is within regular PostgreSQL length limits to be extended
with a shard ID for use in shards on workers. Handles multi-byte
character boundaries in identifiers when making prefixes for
shard-extended names. Includes tests.
Uses hash_any from PostgreSQL's access/hashfunc.c.
Removes AppendShardIdToStringInfo() as it's used only once
and arguably is best replaced there with a call to AppendShardIdToName().
Adds UDF shard_name(object_name, shard_id) to expose the shard-extended
name logic to other PL/PGSQL, UDFs and scripts.
Bumps version to 6.0-2 to allow for UDF to be created in migration script.

hash_create(), called by TaskHashCreate(), doesn't work correctly for a
zero sized hash table. This triggers valgrind errors, and could
potentially cause crashes even without valgring.
This currently happens for Jobs with 0 tasks. These probably should be
optimized away before reaching TaskHashCreate(), but that's a bigger
change.
count_agg_clause *adds* the cost of the aggregates to the state
variable, it doesn't reinitialize it. That is intentional, as it is used
to incrementally add costs in some places.
is now a `::regtype` using the qualified name of the column type,
not the column type OID which may differ between master/worker nodes.
Test coverage of a hash reparitition using a UDT as the join column.
Note that the UDFs `worker_hash_partition_table` and `worker_range_partition_table`
are unchanged, and rightly expect an OID for the column type; but the
planner code building the commands now allows for `::regtype` casting
to do its magic.

On `InsertShardRow`, we previously called `CommandCounterIncrement()` before
`CitusInvalidateRelcacheByRelid(relationId);`. This might prevent to skip
invalidation of the distributed table in the next access within the same session.
This commit enables to create different worker and master temporary folders.
This change is important for citus-mx on task-tracker execution. In simple words,
on citus-mx, the worker could actually be reponsible for the master tasks as well.
Prior to this change, both master and worker logic on task-tracker executor was
accessing and using the same files for different purposes which was dangerous on
certain cases (i.e., when task_tracker_delay is low).
Before this change, count on a distributed returned NULL if all shards
were pruned away, because on the master we replace with count(..) call
with a sum(..) call to sum the counts from the shards. However, sum
returns NULL when there are no rows, whereas count is expected to return
0.
I had changed these callbacks to use the same method I chose for the
router executor (for consistency), but as that method is flawed, we now
want to ensure we directly register them from PG_init as well.
Not entirely sure why we went with the shared memory hook approach, but
it causes problems (multiple registration) during crashes. Changing to
a simple direct registration call from PG_init.
An interaction between ReraiseRemoteError and DML transaction support
causes segfaults:
* ReraiseRemoteError calls PurgeConnection, freeing a connection...
* That connection is still in the xactParticipantHash
At transaction end, the memory in the freed connection might happen to
pass the "is this connection OK?" check, causing us to try to send an
ABORT over that connection. By removing it from the transaction hash
before calling ReraiseRemoteError, we avoid this possibility.
UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraints. Also, properly propagate valid
EXCLUDE constraints to worker shard tables.
If an EXCLUDE constraint includes the distribution column,
the operator must be an equality operator.
Tests in regression suite for exclusion constraints that include
the partition column, omit it, and include it but with non-equality
operator. Regression tests also verify that valid exclusion constraints
are propagated to the shard tables. And the tests work in different
timezones now.
Fixescitusdata/citus#748 and citusdata/citus#778.
Three changes here to get to true multi-statement, multi-relation DDL
transactions (same functionality pre-5.2, with benefits of atomicity):
1. Changed the multi-shard utility hook to always run (consistency
with router executor hook, removes ad-hoc "installed" boolean)
2. Change the global connection list in multi_shard_transaction to
instead be a hash; update related functions to operate on global
hash instead of local hash/global list
3. Remove check within DDL code to prevent subsequent DDL commands;
place unset/reset guard around call to ConnectToNode to permit
connecting to additional nodes after DDL transaction has begun
In addition, code has been added to raise an error if a ROLLBACK TO
SAVEPOINT is attempted (similar to router executor), and comprehensive
tests execute all multi-DDL scenarios (full success, user ROLLBACK, any
actual errors (say, duplicate index), partial failure (duplicate index
on one node but not others), partial COMMIT (one node fails), and 2PC
partial PREPARE (one node fails)). Interleavings with other commands
(DML, \copy) are similarly all covered.
