* use adaptive executor even if task-tracker is set
* Update check-multi-mx tests for adaptive executor
Basically repartition joins are enabled where necessary. For parallel
tests max adaptive executor pool size is decresed to 2, otherwise we
would get too many clients error.
* Update limit_intermediate_size test
It seems that when we use adaptive executor instead of task tracker, we
exceed the intermediate result size less in the test. Therefore updated
the tests accordingly.
* Update multi_router_planner
It seems that there is one problem with multi_router_planner when we use
adaptive executor, we should fix the following error:
+ERROR: relation "authors_range_840010" does not exist
+CONTEXT: while executing command on localhost:57637
* update repartition join tests for check-multi
* update isolation tests for repartitioning
* Error out if shard_replication_factor > 1 with repartitioning
As we are removing the task tracker, we cannot switch to it if
shard_replication_factor > 1. In that case, we simply error out.
* Remove MULTI_EXECUTOR_TASK_TRACKER
* Remove multi_task_tracker_executor
Some utility methods are moved to task_execution_utils.c.
* Remove task tracker protocol methods
* Remove task_tracker.c methods
* remove unused methods from multi_server_executor
* fix style
* remove task tracker specific tests from worker_schedule
* comment out task tracker udf calls in tests
We were using task tracker udfs to test permissions in
multi_multiuser.sql. We should find some other way to test them, then we
should remove the commented out task tracker calls.
* remove task tracker test from follower schedule
* remove task tracker tests from multi mx schedule
* Remove task-tracker specific functions from worker functions
* remove multi task tracker extra schedule
* Remove unused methods from multi physical planner
* remove task_executor_type related things in tests
* remove LoadTuplesIntoTupleStore
* Do initial cleanup for repartition leftovers
During startup, task tracker would call TrackerCleanupJobDirectories and
TrackerCleanupJobSchemas to clean up leftover directories and job
schemas. With adaptive executor, while doing repartitions it is possible
to leak these things as well. We don't retry cleanups, so it is possible
to have leftover in case of errors.
TrackerCleanupJobDirectories is renamed as
RepartitionCleanupJobDirectories since it is repartition specific now,
however TrackerCleanupJobSchemas cannot be used currently because it is
task tracker specific. The thing is that this function is a no-op
currently.
We should add cleaning up intermediate schemas to DoInitialCleanup
method when that problem is solved(We might want to solve it in this PR
as well)
* Revert "remove task tracker tests from multi mx schedule"
This reverts commit 03ecc0a681.
* update multi mx repartition parallel tests
* not error with task_tracker_conninfo_cache_invalidate
* not run 4 repartition queries in parallel
It seems that when we run 4 repartition queries in parallel we get too
many clients error on CI even though we don't get it locally. Our guess
is that, it is because we open/close many connections without doing some
work and postgres has some delay to close the connections. Hence even
though connections are removed from the pg_stat_activity, they might
still not be closed. If the above assumption is correct, it is unlikely
for it to happen in practice because:
- There is some network latency in clusters, so this leaves some times
for connections to be able to close
- Repartition joins return some data and that also leaves some time for
connections to be fully closed.
As we don't get this error in our local, we currently assume that it is
not a bug. Ideally this wouldn't happen when we get rid of the
task-tracker repartition methods because they don't do any pruning and
might be opening more connections than necessary.
If this still gives us "too many clients" error, we can try to increase
the max_connections in our test suite(which is 100 by default).
Also there are different places where this error is given in postgres,
but adding some backtrace it seems that we get this from
ProcessStartupPacket. The backtraces can be found in this link:
https://circleci.com/gh/citusdata/citus/138702
* Set distributePlan->relationIdList when it is needed
It seems that we were setting the distributedPlan->relationIdList after
JobExecutorType is called, which would choose task-tracker if
replication factor > 1 and there is a repartition query. However, it
uses relationIdList to decide if the query has a repartition query, and
since it was not set yet, it would always think it is not a repartition
query and would choose adaptive executor when it should choose
task-tracker.
* use adaptive executor even with shard_replication_factor > 1
It seems that we were already using adaptive executor when
replication_factor > 1. So this commit removes the check.
* remove multi_resowner.c and deprecate some settings
* remove TaskExecution related leftovers
* change deprecated API error message
* not recursively plan single relatition repartition subquery
* recursively plan single relation repartition subquery
* test depreceated task tracker functions
* fix overlapping shard intervals in range-distributed test
* fix error message for citus_metadata_container
* drop task-tracker deprecated functions
* put the implemantation back to worker_cleanup_job_schema_cachesince citus cloud uses it
* drop some functions, add downgrade script
Some deprecated functions are dropped.
Downgrade script is added.
Some gucs are deprecated.
A new guc for repartition joins bucket size is added.
* order by a test to fix flappiness
This is so we don't need to calculate it twice in
insert_select_executor.c and multi_explain.c, which can
cause discrepancy if an update in one of them is not
reflected in the other site.
In #3901 the "Data received from worker(s)" sections were added to EXPLAIN
ANALYZE. After merging @pykello posted some review comments. This addresses
those comments as well as fixing a other issues that I found while addressing
them. The things this does:
1. Fix `EXPLAIN ANALYZE EXECUTE p1` to not increase received data on every
execution
2. Fix `EXPLAIN ANALYZE EXECUTE p1(1)` to not return 0 bytes as received data
allways.
3. Move `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` specific logic to `multi_explain.c` from
`adaptive_executor.c`
4. Change naming of new explain sections to `Tuple data received from node(s)`.
Firstly because a task can reference the coordinator too, so "worker(s)" was
incorrect. Secondly to indicate that this is tuple data and not all network
traffic that was performed.
5. Rename `totalReceivedData` in our codebase to `totalReceivedTupleData` to
make it clearer that it's a tuple data counter, not all network traffic.
6. Actually add `binary_protocol` test to `multi_schedule` (woops)
7. Fix a randomly failing test in `local_shard_execution.sql`.
Shard id to index mapping stored in cache entry as there may now be multiple entries alive for a given relation
insert_select_executor: revert copying cache entry, which was a hack added to avoid memory safety issues
Sadly this does not actually work yet for binary protocol data, because
when doing EXPLAIN ANALYZE we send two commands at the same time. This
means we cannot use `SendRemoteCommandParams`, and thus cannot use the
binary protocol. This can still be useful though when using the text
protocol, to find out that a lot of data is being sent.
We still recursively plan some cases, eg:
- INSERTs
- SELECT FOR UPDATE when reference tables in query
- Everything must be same single shard & replication model
We wrap worker tasks in worker_save_query_explain_analyze() so we can fetch
their explain output later by a call worker_last_saved_explain_analyze().
Fixes#3519Fixes#2347Fixes#2613Fixes#621
Implements a new `TupleDestination` interface to allow custom tuple processing per task.
This can be specially useful if a task contains multiple queries. An example of this EXPLAIN
ANALYZE, where it needs to add some UDF calls to the query to fetch the explain output
from worker after fetching the actual query results.
To reduce code duplication, implement function that pushes search_path
to be NIL and sets addCatalog to true so that all objects outside of
pg_catalog will be schema-prefixed.
SELECT_TASK is renamed to READ_TASK as a SELECT with modifying CTEs will be a MODIFYING_TASK
RouterInsertJob: Assert originalQuery->commandType == CMD_INSERT
CreateModifyPlan: Assert originalQuery->commandType != CMD_SELECT
Remove unused function IsModifyDistributedPlan
DistributedExecution, ExecutionParams, DistributedPlan: Rename hasReturning to expectResults
SELECTs set expectResults to true
Rename CreateSingleTaskRouterPlan to CreateSingleTaskRouterSelectPlan
* Not append empty task in ExtractLocalAndRemoteTasks
ExtractLocalAndRemoteTasks extracts the local and remote tasks. If we do
not have a local task the localTaskPlacementList will be NIL, in this
case we should not append anything to local tasks. Previously we would
first check if a task contains a single placement or not, now we first
check if there is any local task before doing anything.
* fix copy of node task
Task node has task query, which might contain a list of strings in its
fields. We were using postgres copyObject for these lists. Postgres
assumes that each element of list will be a node type. If it is not a
node type it will error.
As a solution to that, a new macro is introduced to copy a list of
strings.
This copies over fixes from reference counting branch,
all CitusTableCacheEntry data may be freed when a GetCitusTableCacheEntry call occurs for its relationId
This fix is not complete, but reference counting is being deferred until 9.4
CopyShardInterval: remove dest parameter, always return newly allocated object
DESCRIPTION: Alter role only works for citus managed roles
Alter role was implemented before we implemented good role management that hooks into the object propagation framework. This is a refactor of all alter role commands that have been implemented to
- be on by default
- only work for supported roles
- make the citus extension owner a supported role
Instead of distributing the alter role commands for roles at the beginning of the node activation role it now _only_ executes the alter role commands for all users in all databases and in the current database.
In preparation of full role support small refactors have been done in the deparser.
Earlier tests targeting other roles than the citus extension owner have been either slightly changed or removed to be put back where we have full role support.
Fixes#2549
We had many fields in task related to query strings. It was kind of
complex, and only of them could be set at a time. Therefore it makes
more sense to abstract this and use a union so that it is clear that
only of them should be set.
We have three fields that could have query related strings:
- queryForLocation
- queryStringLazy
- perPlacementQueryStrings
Relatively, they can be set with:
- SetTaskQueryString
- SetTaskQueryIfShouldLazyDeparse
- SetTaskPerPlacementQueryStrings
The direct usage of the query related fields are also removed.
Rename queryForLocalExecution
Currently queryForLocalExecution is only used for deparsing purposes,
therefore it makes sense to rename it to what it is doing.
Sometimes we have concatenated query strings for a task. However,
when we want to find each query string, it is not a trivial task.
Therefore, it makes sense to store this in task so that when we need
each query string we can easily get it.
Some refactoring:
Consolidate expression which decides whether GROUP BY/HAVING are pushed down
Rename early pullUpIntermediateRows to hasNonDistributableAggregates
Create WorkerColumnName to handle formatting WORKER_COLUMN_FORMAT
Ignore NULL StringInfo pointers to SafeToPushdownWindowFunction
Fix bug where SubqueryPushdownMultiNodeTree mutates supplied Query,
SafeToPushdownWindowFunction requires the original query as it relies on rtable
If two tables have the same distribution column type, we implicitly
colocate them. This is useful since colocation has a big performance
impact in most applications.
When a table is rebalanced, all of the colocated tables are also
rebalanced. If table A and table B are colocated and we want to
rebalance table A, table B will also be rebalanced. We need replica
identity so that logical replication can replicate updates and deletes
during rebalancing. If table B does not have a replica identity we
error out.
A solution to this is to introduce a UDF so that colocation can be
updated. The remaining tables in the colocation group will stay
colocated. For example if table A, B and C are colocated and after
updating table B's colocations, table A and table C stay colocated.
The "updating colocation" step does not move any data around, it only
updated pg_dist_partition and pg_dist_colocation tables. Specifically it
creates a new colocation group for the table and updates the entry in
pg_dist_partition while invalidating any cache.
A copy will be executed locally if
- Local execution is enabled and current transaction accessed a local placement
- Local execution is enabled and we are inside a transaction block.
So even if local execution is enabled but we are not in a transaction block, the copy will not be run locally.
This will not run locally:
```
COPY distributed_table FROM STDIN;
....
```
This will run locally:
```
SET citus.enable_local_execution to 'on';
BEGIN;
COPY distributed_table FROM STDIN;
COMMIT;
....
```
.
There are 3 ways to do a copy in postgres programmatically:
- from a file
- from a program
- from a callback function
I have chosen to implement it with a callback function, which means that we write the rows of copy from a callback function to the output buffer, which is used to insert tuples into the actual table.
For each shard id, we have a buffer that keeps the current rows to be written, we perform the actual copy operation either when:
- copy buffer for the given shard id reaches to a threshold, which is currently 512KB
- we reach to the end of the copy
The buffer size is debatable(512KB). At a given time, we might allocate (local placement * buffer size) memory at most.
The local copy uses the same copy format as remote copy, which means that we serialize the data in the same format as remote copy and send it locally.
There was also the option to use ExecSimpleRelationInsert to insert
slots one by one, which would avoid the extra
serialization/deserialization but doing some benchmarks it seems that
using buffers are significantly better in terms of the performance.
You can see this comment for more details: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/3557#discussion_r389499054
This fixes 3 bugs:
1. `strtoul` never underflows, so that branch was useless
2. `strtoul` has ULONG_MAX instead of LONG_MAX when it overflows
3. `long` and `unsigned long` are not necessarily 64bit, they can be
either more or less. So now `strtoll` and `strtoull` are used
and 64 bit bounds are checked.
Semmle reported quite some places where we use a value that could be NULL. Most of these are not actually a real issue, but better to be on the safe side with these things and make the static analysis happy.
DESCRIPTION: Replace the query planner for the coordinator part with the postgres planner
Closes#2761
Citus had a simple rule based planner for the query executed on the query coordinator. This planner grew over time with the addigion of SQL support till it was getting close to the functionality of the postgres planner. Except the code was brittle and its complexity rose which made it hard to add new SQL support.
Given its resemblance with the postgres planner it was a long outstanding wish to replace our hand crafted planner with the well supported postgres planner. This patch replaces our planner with a call to postgres' planner.
Due to the functionality of the postgres planner we needed to support both projections and filters/quals on the citus custom scan node. When a sort operation is planned above the custom scan it might require fields to be reordered in the custom scan before returning the tuple (projection). The postgres planner assumes every custom scan node implements projections. Because we controlled the plan that was created we prevented reordering in the custom scan and never had implemented it before.
A same optimisation applies to having clauses that could have been where clauses. Instead of applying the filter as a having on the aggregate it will push it down into the plan which could reach a custom scan node.
For both filters and projections we have implemented them when tuples are read from the tuple store. If no projections or filters are required it will directly return the tuple from the tuple store. Otherwise it will loop tuples from the tuple store through the filter and projection until a tuple is found and returned.
Besides filters being pushed down a side effect of having quals that could have been a where clause is that a call to read intermediate result could be called before the first tuple is fetched from the custom scan. This failed because the intermediate result would only be pulled to the coordinator on the first tuple fetch. To overcome this problem we do run the distributed subplans now before we run the postgres executor. This ensures the intermediate result is present on the coordinator in time. We do account for total time instrumentation by removing the instrumentation before handing control to the psotgres executor and update the timings our self.
For future SQL support it is enough to create a valid query structure for the part of the query to be executed on the query coordinating node. As a utility we do serialise and print the query at debug level4 for engineers to inspect what kind of query is being planned on the query coordinator.
We don't actually use these functions anymore since merging #1477.
Advantages of removing:
1. They add work whenever we add a new node.
2. They contain some usage of stdlib APIs that are banned by Microsoft.
Removing it means we don't have to replace those with safe ones.
- Stop the daemon when citus extension is dropped
- Bail on maintenance daemon startup if myDbData is started with a non-zero pid
- Stop maintenance daemon from spawning itself
- Don't use postgres die, just wrap proc_exit(0)
- Assert(myDbData->workerPid == MyProcPid)
The two issues were that multiple daemons could be running for a database,
or that a daemon would be leftover after DROP EXTENSION citus
Comparison between differently sized integers in loop conditions can cause
infinite loops. This can happen when doing something like this:
```c
int64 very_big = MAX_INT32 + 1;
for (int32 i = 0; i < very_big; i++) {
// do something
}
// never reached because i overflows before it can reach the value of very_big
```
When using --allow-group-access option from initdb our keys and
certificates would be created with 0640 permissions. Which is a pretty
serious security issue: This changes that. This would not be exploitable
though, since postgres would not actually enable SSL and would output
the following message in the logs:
```
DETAIL: File must have permissions u=rw (0600) or less if owned by the database user, or permissions u=rw,g=r (0640) or less if owned by root.
```
Since citus still expected the cluster to have SSL enabled handshakes
between workers and coordinator would fail. So instead of a security
issue the cluster would simply be unusable.
For example, a PARAM might reside inside a function just because
of a casting of a type such as the follows:
```
{FUNCEXPR
:funcid 1740
:funcresulttype 1700
:funcretset false
:funcvariadic false
:funcformat 2
:funccollid 0
:inputcollid 0
:args (
{PARAM
:paramkind 0
:paramid 15
:paramtype 23
:paramtypmod -1
:paramcollid 0
:location 356
}
)
```
We should recursively check the expression before bailing out.
Previously, the logic for evaluting the functions and the parameters
were the same. That ended-up evaluting the functions inaccurately
on the coordinator. Instead, split the function evaluation logic
from parameter evalution logic.
Previously, we've identified the usedSubPlans by only looking
to the subPlanId.
With this commit, we're expanding it to also include information
on the location of the subPlan.
This is useful to distinguish the cases where the subPlan is used
either on only HAVING or both HAVING and any other part of the query.
In #3374 a new way of locking shard distribution metadata was
implemented. However, this was only done in the function
`LockShardDistributionMetadata` and not in
`TryLockShardDistributionMetadata`. This is bad, since it causes these
locks to not block eachother in some cases.
This commit fixes this issue by sharing the code that sets the locktag
between the two function.
Deparsing and parsing a query can be heavy on CPU. When locally executing
the query we don't need to do this in theory most of the time.
This PR is the first step in allowing to skip deparsing and parsing
the query in these cases, by lazily creating the query string and
storing the query in the task. Future commits will make use of this and
not deparse and parse the query anymore, but use the one from the task
directly.
Different versions of reindent tool reformatted citus_custom_scan.c
and citus_copyfuncs.c differently. So some developers spent some
extra attention not to commit these two files after reindent.
This PR tries to address this.
Use partition column's collation for range distributed tables
Don't allow non deterministic collations for hash distributed tables
CoPartitionedTables: don't compare unequal types
DESCRIPTION: add gitref to the output of citus_version
During debugging of custom builds it is hard to know the exact version of the citus build you are using. This patch will add a human readable/understandable git reference to the build of citus which can be retrieved by calling `citus_version();`.
In plain words, each distributed plan pulls the necessary intermediate
results to the worker nodes that the plan hits. This is primarily useful
in three ways.
(i) If the distributed plan that uses intermediate
result(s) is a router query, then the intermediate results are only
broadcasted to a single node.
(ii) If a distributed plan consists of only intermediate results, which
is not uncommon, the intermediate results are broadcasted to a single
node only.
(iii) If a distributed query hits a sub-set of the shards in multiple
workers, the intermediate results will be broadcasted to the relevant
node(s).
The final item (iii) becomes crucial for append/range distributed
tables where typically the distributed queries hit a small subset of
shards/workers.
To do this, for each query that Citus creates a distributed plan, we keep
track of the subPlans used in the queryTree, and save it in the distributed
plan. Just before Citus executes each subPlan, Citus first keeps track of
every worker node that the distributed plan hits, and marks every subPlan
should be broadcasted to these nodes. Later, for each subPlan which is a
distributed plan, Citus does this operation recursively since these
distributed plans may access to different subPlans, and those have to be
recorded as well.
Phase 1 seeks to implement minimal infrastructure, so does not include:
- dynamic generation of support aggregates to handle multiple arguments
- configuration methods to direct aggregation strategy,
or mark an aggregate's serialize/deserialize as safe to operate across nodes
Aggregates can be distributed when:
- they have a single argument
- they have a combinefunc
- their transition type is not a pseudotype
Postgres doesn't require you to add all columns that are in the target list to
the GROUP BY when you group by a unique column (or columns). It even actively
removes these group by clauses when you do.
This is normally fine, but for repartition joins it is not. The reason for this
is that the temporary tables don't have these primary key columns. So when the
worker executes the query it will complain that it is missing columns in the
group by.
This PR fixes that by adding an ANY_VALUE aggregate around each variable in
the target list that does is not contained in the group by or in an aggregate.
This is done only for repartition joins.
The ANY_VALUE aggregate chooses the value from an undefined row in the
group.
It looks like the logic to prevent RETURNING in reference tables to
have duplicate entries that comes from local and remote executions
leads to missing some tuples for distributed tables.
With this PR, we're ensuring to kick in the logic for reference tables
only.
* Remove unused executor codes
All of the codes of real-time executor. Some functions
in router executor still remains there because there
are common functions. We'll move them to accurate places
in the follow-up commits.
* Move GUCs to transaction mngnt and remove unused struct
* Update test output
* Get rid of references of real-time executor from code
* Warn if real-time executor is picked
* Remove lots of unused connection codes
* Removed unused code for connection restrictions
Real-time and router executors cannot handle re-using of the existing
connections within a transaction block.
Adaptive executor and COPY can re-use the connections. So, there is no
reason to keep the code around for applying the restrictions in the
placement connection logic.
We've changed the logic for pulling RTE_RELATIONs in #3109 and
non-colocated subquery joins and partitioned tables.
@onurctirtir found this steps where I traced back and found the issues.
While looking into it in more detail, we decided to expand the list in a
way that the callers get all the relevant RTE_RELATIONs RELKIND_RELATION,
RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE, RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE and RELKIND_MATVIEW.
These are all relation kinds that Citus planner is aware of.
This completely hides `ListCell` to the user of the loop
Example usage:
```c
WorkerNode *workerNode = NULL;
foreach_ptr(workerNode, workerNodeList) {
// Do stuff with workerNode
}
```
Instead of:
```c
ListCell *workerNodeCell = NULL;
foreach(cell, workerNodeList) {
WorkerNode *workerNode = lfirst(workerNodeCell);
// Do stuff with workerNode
}
```
This is an improvement over #2512.
This adds the boolean shouldhaveshards column to pg_dist_node. When it's false, create_distributed_table for new collocation groups will not create shards on that node. Reference tables will still be created on nodes where it is false.
When a function is marked as colocated with a distributed table,
we try delegating queries of kind "SELECT func(...)" to workers.
We currently only support this simple form, and don't delegate
forms like "SELECT f1(...), f2(...)", "SELECT f1(...) FROM ...",
or function calls inside transactions.
As a side effect, we also fix the transactional semantics of DO blocks.
Previously we didn't consider a DO block a multi-statement transaction.
Now we do.

Since the distributed functions are useful when the workers have
metadata, we automatically sync it.
Also, after master_add_node(). We do it lazily and let the deamon
sync it. That's mainly because the metadata syncing cannot be done
in transaction blocks, and we don't want to add lots of transactional
limitations to master_add_node() and create_distributed_function().
DESCRIPTION: Distribute Types to worker nodes
When to propagate
==============
There are two logical moments that types could be distributed to the worker nodes
- When they get used ( just in time distribution )
- When they get created ( proactive distribution )
The just in time distribution follows the model used by how schema's get created right before we are going to create a table in that schema, for types this would be when the table uses a type as its column.
The proactive distribution is suitable for situations where it is benificial to have the type on the worker nodes directly. They can later on be used in queries where an intermediate result gets created with a cast to this type.
Just in time creation is always the last resort, you cannot create a distributed table before the type gets created. A good example use case is; you have an existing postgres server that needs to scale out. By adding the citus extension, add some nodes to the cluster, and distribute the table. The type got created before citus existed. There was no moment where citus could have propagated the creation of a type.
Proactive is almost always a good option. Types are not resource intensive objects, there is no performance overhead of having 100's of types. If you want to use them in a query to represent an intermediate result (which happens in our test suite) they just work.
There is however a moment when proactive type distribution is not beneficial; in transactions where the type is used in a distributed table.
Lets assume the following transaction:
```sql
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE tt1 AS (a int, b int);
CREATE TABLE t1 AS (a int PRIMARY KEY, b tt1);
SELECT create_distributed_table('t1', 'a');
\copy t1 FROM bigdata.csv
```
Types are node scoped objects; meaning the type exists once per worker. Shards however have best performance when they are created over their own connection. For the type to be visible on all connections it needs to be created and committed before we try to create the shards. Here the just in time situation is most beneficial and follows how we create schema's on the workers. Outside of a transaction block we will just use 1 connection to propagate the creation.
How propagation works
=================
Just in time
-----------
Just in time propagation hooks into the infrastructure introduced in #2882. It adds types as a supported object in `SupportedDependencyByCitus`. This will make sure that any object being distributed by citus that depends on types will now cascade into types. When types are depending them self on other objects they will get created first.
Creation later works by getting the ddl commands to create the object by its `ObjectAddress` in `GetDependencyCreateDDLCommands` which will dispatch types to `CreateTypeDDLCommandsIdempotent`.
For the correct walking of the graph we follow array types, when later asked for the ddl commands for array types we return `NIL` (empty list) which makes that the object will not be recorded as distributed, (its an internal type, dependant on the user type).
Proactive distribution
---------------------
When the user creates a type (composite or enum) we will have a hook running in `multi_ProcessUtility` after the command has been applied locally. Running after running locally makes that we already have an `ObjectAddress` for the type. This is required to mark the type as being distributed.
Keeping the type up to date
====================
For types that are recorded in `pg_dist_object` (eg. `IsObjectDistributed` returns true for the `ObjectAddress`) we will intercept the utility commands that alter the type.
- `AlterTableStmt` with `relkind` set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate changes to the fields of a composite type.
- `DropStmt` with removeType set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate `DROP TYPE`.
- `AlterEnumStmt` encapsulates changes to enum values.
Enum types can not be changed transactionally. When the execution on a worker fails a warning will be shown to the user the propagation was incomplete due to worker communication failure. An idempotent command is shown for the user to re-execute when the worker communication is fixed.
Keeping types up to date is done via the executor. Before the statement is executed locally we create a plan on how to apply it on the workers. This plan is executed after we have applied the statement locally.
All changes to types need to be done in the same transaction for types that have already been distributed and will fail with an error if parallel queries have already been executed in the same transaction. Much like foreign keys to reference tables.
For another PR I needed to add another column which would require to add
another argument to an already 9 argument function signature. In this
case it would be a boolean flag and there were already two boolean flags
in there. In my experience it becomes really easy to mess up the order
of these flags at that point. Especially because the type system doesn't
distinguish between the 3 different booleans with completely different
meanings.
So I refactored these signatures to receive a struct containing most of
these arguments. Like that you don't mess up orderening, because the
meaning of the boolean is not order dependent but fieldname dependent.
It also makes it possible to set good shared defaults for this struct.
DESCRIPTION: Refactor ensure schema exists to dependency exists
Historically we only supported schema's as table dependencies to be created on the workers before a table gets distributed. This PR puts infrastructure in place to walk pg_depend to figure out which dependencies to create on the workers. Currently only schema's are supported as objects to create before creating a table.
We also keep track of dependencies that have been created in the cluster. When we add a new node to the cluster we use this catalog to know which objects need to be created on the worker.
Side effect of knowing which objects are already distributed is that we don't have debug messages anymore when creating schema's that are already created on the workers.
