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.
On worker 2 it was waiting for dustbunnies_990001 to be
vacuumed/analyzed. This table doesn't actually exist, so that never
happend. Now it waits for the correct table and throws an error if it
waits more than 10 seconds.
The root of the problem is that, standard_planner() converts the following qual
```
{OPEXPR
:opno 98
:opfuncid 67
:opresulttype 16
:opretset false
:opcollid 0
:inputcollid 100
:args (
{VAR
:varno 1
:varattno 1
:vartype 25
:vartypmod -1
:varcollid 100
:varlevelsup 0
:varnoold 1
:varoattno 1
:location 45
}
{CONST
:consttype 25
:consttypmod -1
:constcollid 100
:constlen -1
:constbyval false
:constisnull true
:location 51
:constvalue <>
}
)
:location 49
}
```
To
```
(
{CONST
:consttype 16
:consttypmod -1
:constcollid 0
:constlen 1
:constbyval true
:constisnull true
:location -1
:constvalue <>
}
)
```
So, Citus doesn't deal with NULL values in real-time or non-fast path router queries.
And, in the FastPathRouter planner, we check constisnull in DistKeyInSimpleOpExpression().
However, in deferred pruning case, we do not check for isnull for const.
Thus, the fix consists of two parts:
- Let PruneShards() not crash when NULL parameter is passed
- For deferred shard pruning in fast-path queries, explicitly check that we have CONST which is not NULL
Mark existing objects that are not included in distributed object infrastructure
in older versions of Citus (but now should be) as distributed, after updating
Citus successfully.
DESCRIPTION: Fix unnecessary repartition on joins with more than 4 tables
In 9.1 we have introduced support for all CH-benCHmark queries by widening our definitions of joins to include joins with expressions in them. This had the undesired side effect of Q5 regressing on its plan by implementing a repartition join.
It turned out this regression was not directly related to widening of the join clause, nor the schema employed by CH-benCHmark. Instead it had to do with 4 or more tables being joined in a chain. A chain meaning:
```sql
SELECT * FROM a,b,c,d WHERE a.part = b.part AND b.part = c.part AND ....
```
Due to how our join order planner was implemented it would only keep track of 1 of the partition columns when comparing if the join could be executed locally. This manifested in a join chain of 4 tables to _always_ be executed as a repartition join. 3 tables joined in a chain would have the middle table shared by the two outer tables causing the local join possibility to be found.
With this patch we keep a unique list (or set) of all partition columns participating in the join. When a candidate table is checked for a possibility to execute a local join it will check if there is any partition column in that set that matches an equality join clause on the partition column of the candidate table.
By taking into account all partition columns in the left relation it will now find the local join path on >= 4 tables joined in a chain.
