This change adds support for SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
When transaction connections are not established yet, savepoints are kept in a stack and sent to the worker when the connection is later established. After establishing connections, savepoint commands are sent as they arrive.
This change fixes#1493 .
- Break CheckShardPlacements into multiple functions (The most important
is MarkFailedShardPlacements), so that we can get rid of the global
CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC.
- Call MarkFailedShardPlacements in the router executor, so we mark
shards as invalid and stop using them while inside transaction blocks.
If any placements fail it doesn't update shard statistics on those placements.
A minor enabling refactor: Make CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC public (it used to be CoordinatedTransactionUse2PC but that symbol already existed, so renamed it as well)
Adds support for VACUUM and ANALYZE commands which target a specific
distributed table. After grabbing the appropriate locks, this imple-
mentation sends VACUUM commands to each placement (using one connec-
tion per placement). These commands are sent in parallel, so users
with large tables will benefit from sharding. Except for VERBOSE, all
VACUUM and ANALYZE options are supported, including the explicit
column list used by ANALYZE.
As with many of our utility commands, the local command also runs. In
the VACUUM/ANALYZE case, the local command is executed before any re-
mote propagation. Because error handling is managed after local proc-
essing, this can result in a VACUUM completing locally but erroring
out when distributed processing commences: a minor technicality in all
cases, as there isn't really much reason to ever roll back a VACUUM (an
impossibility in any case, as VACUUM cannot run within a transaction).
Remote propagation of targeted VACUUM/ANALYZE is controlled by the
enable_ddl_propagation setting; warnings are emitted if such a command
is attempted when DDL propagation is disabled. Unqualified VACUUM or
ANALYZE is not handled, but a warning message informs the user of this.
Implementation note: this commit adds a "BARE" value to MultiShard-
CommitProtocol. When active, no BEGIN command is ever sent to remote
nodes, useful for commands such as VACUUM/ANALYZE which must not run in
a transaction block. This value is not user-facing and is reset at
transaction end.
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.
