In this commit, we're introducing a way to prevent CTE inlining via a GUC.
The GUC is used in all the tests where PG 11 and PG 12 tests would diverge
otherwise.
Note that, in PG 12, the restriction information for CTEs are generated. It
means that for some queries involving CTEs, Citus planner (router planner/
pushdown planner) may behave differently. So, via the GUC, we prevent
tests to diverge on PG 11 vs PG 12.
When we drop PG 11 support, we should get rid of the GUC, and mark
relevant ctes as MATERIALIZED, which does the same thing.
These set of tests has changed in both PG 11 and PG 12.
The changes are only about CTE inlining kicking in both
versions, and yielding the exact same distributed planning.
With this commit, we're adding the specific tests for CTE inlining.
The test has a different output file for pg 11, because as mentioned
in the previous commits, PG 12 generates more restriction information
for CTEs.
The idea is simple: Inline CTEs(if any), try distributed planning.
If the planning yields a successful distributed plan, simply return
it.
If the planning fails, fallback to distributed planning on the query
tree where CTEs are not inlined. In that case, if the planning failed
just because of the CTE inlining, via recursive planning, the same
query would yield a successful plan.
A very basic set of examples:
WITH cte_1 AS (SELECT * FROM test_table)
SELECT
*, row_number() OVER ()
FROM
cte_1;
or
WITH a AS (SELECT * FROM test_table),
b AS (SELECT * FROM test_table)
SELECT * FROM a JOIN b ON (a.value> b.value);
With this commit we add the necessary Citus function to inline CTEs
in a queryTree.
You might ask, why do we need to inline CTEs if Postgres is already
going to do it?
Few reasons behind this decision:
- One techinal node here is that Citus does the recursive CTE planning
by checking the originalQuery which is the query that has not gone
through the standard_planner().
CTEs in Citus is super powerful. It is practically key for full SQL
coverage for multi-shard queries. With CTEs, you can always reduce
any query multi-shard query into a router query via recursive
planning (thus full SQL coverage).
We cannot let CTE inlining break that. The main idea is Citus should
be able to retry planning if anything goes after CTE inlining.
So, by taking ownership of CTE inlining on the originalQuery, Citus
can fallback to recursive planning of CTEs if the planning with the
inlined query fails. It could have been a lot harder if we had relied
on standard_planner() to have the inlined CTEs on the original query.
- We want to have this feature in PostgreSQL 11 as well, but Postgres
only inlines in version 12
All the code in this commit is direct copy & paste from Postgres
source code.
We can classify the copy&paste code into two:
- Copy paste from CTE inline patch from postgres
(https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=608b167f9f9c4553c35bb1ec0eab9ddae643989b)
These include the functions inline_cte(), inline_cte_walker(),
contain_dml(), contain_dml_walker().
It also include the code in function PostgreSQLCTEInlineCondition().
We prefer to extract that code into a seperate function, because
(a) we'll re-use the logic later (b) we added one check for PG_11
Finally, the struct "inline_cte_walker_context" is also copied from
the same Postgres commit.
- Copy paste from the other parts of the Postgres code
In order to implement CTE inlining in Postgres 12, the hackers
modified the query_tree_walker()/range_table_walker() with the
18c0da88a5
Since Citus needs to support the same logic in PG 11, we copy & pasted
that functions (and related flags) with the names pg_12_query_tree_walker()
and pg_12_range_table_walker()
In two places I've made code more straight forward by using ROUTINE in our own codegen
Two changes which may seem extraneous:
AppendFunctionName was updated to not use pg_get_function_identity_arguments.
This is because that function includes ORDER BY when printing an aggregate like my_rank.
While ALTER AGGREGATE my_rank(x "any" ORDER BY y "any") is accepted by postgres,
ALTER ROUTINE my_rank(x "any" ORDER BY y "any") is not.
Tests were updated to use macaddr over integer. Using integer is flaky, our logic
could sometimes end up on tables like users_table. I originally wanted to use money,
but money isn't hashable.
We might need to send commands from workers to other workers. In
these cases we shouldn't override the xact id assigned by coordinator,
or otherwise we won't read the consistent set of result files
accross the nodes.
We need to know which placement succeeded in executing the worker_partition_query_result() call. Otherwise we wouldn't know which node to fetch from. This change allows that by introducing Task::perPlacementQueryStrings.
Partitioned task list results.
Implements PartitionTasklistResults(), which partitions results of given SELECT tasks based on shard ranges of a given relation.
Fast-path queries are introduced with #2606. The basic idea is that for very simple queries like SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE dist_key = X, we can skip some parts of the distributed planning. The most notable thing to skip is standard_planner(), which was already done in #2606.
With this commit, we do some further optimizations. First, we used to call the function which decides whether the query is fast path twice, which can be reduced to one. Second, we used to do shard pruning for every query, now we'll optimize it for some cases. Finally, since the definition of fast-path queries are very strict, we can skip some query traversals.
