This commit enables to create different worker and master temporary folders.
This change is important for citus-mx on task-tracker execution. In simple words,
on citus-mx, the worker could actually be reponsible for the master tasks as well.
Prior to this change, both master and worker logic on task-tracker executor was
accessing and using the same files for different purposes which was dangerous on
certain cases (i.e., when task_tracker_delay is low).
- Enables using VOLATILE functions (like nextval()) in INSERT queries
- Enables using STABLE functions (like now()) targetLists and joinTrees
UPDATE and INSERT can now contain non-immutable functions. INSERT can contain any kind of
expression, while UPDATE can contain any STABLE function, so long as a Var is not passed
into the STABLE function, even indirectly. UPDATE TagetEntry's can now also include Vars.
There's an exception, CASE/COALESCE statements may not contain mutable functions.
Functions calls in master_modify_multiple_shards are also evaluated.
The old targetlist wasn't used so far, but the upcoming RETURNING
support relies on it.
This also allows to get rid of some crufty code in
multi_executor.c:multi_ExecutorStart(), which used the worker query's
targetlist instead of the main statement's (which didn't have one up to
now).
Some small parts of citus currently require superuser privileges; which
is obviously not desirable for production scenarios. Run these small
parts under superuser privileges (we use the extension owner) to avoid
that.
This does not yet coordinate grants between master and workers. Thus it
allows to create shards, load data, and run queries as a non-superuser,
but it is not easily possible to allow differentiated accesses to
several users.
multi_ExecutorStart() replaces the original planned statement with the
master select statement. As that hasn't gone through the parse analysis
hooks, it'll not have a associated queryId. This prevents extensions
pg_stat_statements to show useful data associated with the query.
