- changes in ruleutils_11.c is reflected
- vacuum statement api change is handled. We now allow
multi-table vacuum commands.
- some other function header changes are reflected
- api conflicts between PG11 and earlier versions
are handled by adding shims in version_compat.h
- various regression tests are fixed due output and
functionality in PG1
- no change is made to support new features in PG11
they need to be handled by new commit
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)
maxTaskStringSize determines the size of worker query string.
It was originally hard coded to a specific value. This has caused
issues at some users. Since it determines initial shared memory
allocation, we did not want to set it to an arbitrary higher number.
Instead made it configurable.
This commit introduces a new GUC variable max_task_string_size
Changes in this variable requires restart to be in effect.
Adds support for PostgreSQL 10 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
and updating all API usages to conform with changes in PostgreSQL 10.
Most changes are fairly minor but they are numerous. One particular
obstacle was the change in \d behavior in PostgreSQL 10's psql; I had
to add SQL implementations (views, mostly) to mimic the pre-10 output.

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.
Allows the use of modification commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) within
transaction blocks (delimited by BEGIN and ROLLBACK/COMMIT), so long as
all modifications hit a subset of nodes involved in the first such com-
mand in the transaction. This does not circumvent the requirement that
each individual modification command must still target a single shard.
For instance, after sending BEGIN, a user might INSERT some rows to a
shard replicated on two nodes. Subsequent modifications can hit other
shards, so long as they are on one or both of these nodes.
SAVEPOINTs are supported, though if the user actually attempts to send
a ROLLBACK command that specifies a SAVEPOINT they will receive an
ERROR at the end of the topmost transaction.
Placements are only marked inactive if at least one replica succeeds
in a transaction where others fail. Non-atomic behavior is possible if
the shard targeted by the initial modification within a transaction has
a higher replication factor than another shard within the same block
and a node with the latter shard has a failure during the COMMIT phase.
Other methods of denoting transaction blocks (multi-statement commands
sent all at once and functions written in e.g. PL/pgSQL or other such
languages) are not presently supported; their treatment remains the
same as before.
So far we've always used libpq defaults when connecting to workers; bar
special environment variables being set that'll always be the user that
started the server. That's not desirable because it prevents using
users with fewer privileges.
Thus change the various APIs creating connections to workers to always
use usernames. That means:
1) MultiClientConnect() needs to, optionally, accept a username
2) GetOrEstablishConnection(), including the underlying cache, need to
use the current user as part of the connection cache key. That way
connections for separate users are distinct, and we always use one
with the correct authorization.
3) The task tracker needs to keep track of the username associated with
a task, so it can use it when establishing connections outside the
originating session.
