DESCRIPTION:
Makefile changes to build different versions of CDC decoder for different base decoders like pgoutput and wal2json with the same name and copy it to $packagelib/cdc_decoders dir. This helps the user to use logical replication slots normally with pgoutput without being aware of CDC decoder.
1) Changed src/backend/distributed/cdc/Makefile to setup a build directory
for CDC in build-cdc-$(DECODER) dir and copy the source files (.c.h and Makefile.decoder) to
the build dir and build it for each base decoder.
2) copy the pgoutput.so and wal2json.so into the above build dir and
install them in PG packagelibdir/citus_decoders directory.
3)Added a testcase 016_cdc_wal2json.pl for testing the wal2json decoder
using pg_recv_logical_changes function.
DESCRIPTION:
- The CDC decoder is refacroted into a seperate extension that can be used loaded dynamically without having to reload citus.
- CDC decoder code can be compiled using DECODER flag to work with different decoders like pgoutput and wal2json.
by default the base decode is "pgoutput".
- the dynamic_library_path config is adjusted dynamically to prefer the decoders in cdc_decoders directory in citus init
so that the users can use the replication subscription commands without having to make any config changes.
Description:
Implementing CDC changes using Logical Replication to avoid
re-publishing events multiple times by setting up replication origin
session, which will add "DoNotReplicateId" to every WAL entry.
- shard splits
- shard moves
- create distributed table
- undistribute table
- alter distributed tables (for some cases)
- reference table operations
The citus decoder which will be decoding WAL events for CDC clients,
ignores any WAL entry with replication origin that is not zero.
It also maps the shard names to distributed table names.
