The file handling the utility functions (DDL) for citus organically grew over time and became unreasonably large. This refactor takes that file and refactored the functionality into separate files per command. Initially modeled after the directory and file layout that can be found in postgres.
Although the size of the change is quite big there are barely any code changes. Only one two functions have been added for readability purposes:
- PostProcessIndexStmt which is extracted from PostProcessUtility
- PostProcessAlterTableStmt which is extracted from multi_ProcessUtility
A README.md has been added to `src/backend/distributed/commands` describing the contents of the module and every file in the module.
We need more documentation around the overloading of the COPY command, for now the boilerplate has been added for people with better knowledge to fill out.
