DESCRIPTION: Move pg_dist_object to pg_catalog
Historically `pg_dist_object` had been created in the `citus` schema as an experiment to understand if we could move our catalog tables to a branded schema. We quickly realised that this interfered with the UX on our managed services and other environments, where users connected via a user with the name of `citus`.
By default postgres put the username on the search_path. To be able to read the catalog in the `citus` schema we would need to grant access permissions to the schema. This caused newly created objects like tables etc, to default to this schema for creation. This failed due to the write permissions to that schema.
With this change we move the `pg_dist_object` catalog table to the `pg_catalog` schema, where our other schema's are also located. This makes the catalog table visible and readable by any user, like our other catalog tables, for debugging purposes.
Note: due to the change of schema, we had to disable 1 test that was running into a discrepancy between the schema and binary. Secondly, we needed to make the lookup functions for the `pg_dist_object` relation and their indexes less strict on the fallback of the naming due to an other test that, due to an unfortunate cache invalidation, needed to lookup the relation again. This makes that we won't default to _only_ resolving from `pg_catalog` outside of upgrades.
With this commit we've started to propagate sequences and shell
tables within the object dependency resolution. So, ensuring any
dependencies for any object will consider shell tables and sequences
as well. Separate logics for both shell tables and sequences have
been removed.
Since both shell tables and sequences logic were implemented as a
part of the metadata handling before that logic, we were propagating
them while syncing table metadata. With this commit we've divided
metadata (which means anything except shards thereafter) syncing
logic into multiple parts and implemented it either as a part of
ActivateNode. You can check the functions called in ActivateNode
to check definition of different metadata.
Definitions of start_metadata_sync_to_node and citus_activate_node
have also been updated. citus_activate_node will basically create
an active node with all metadata and reference table shards.
start_metadata_sync_to_node will be same with citus_activate_node
except replicating reference tables. stop_metadata_sync_to_node
will remove all the metadata. All of those UDFs need to be called
by superuser.
* Require superuser while activating a node
With this change, we require ActiveNode() (hence citus_add_node(),
citus_activate_node()) explicitly require for a superuser.
Before this commit, these functions were designed to work with
non-superuser roles with the relevent GRANTs given.
However, that is not a widely used way for calling the functions
above.
Due to possibility of non-super user calling the UDFs, they were
designed in a way that some commands were using some additional
short-lived superuser connections. That is:
(a) breaking transactional behavior (e.g., ROLLBACK
wouldn't fully rollback the whole transaction)
(b) Making it very complicated to reason about which
parts of the node activation goes over which connections,
and becoming vulnerable to deadlocks / visibility issues.
We prefer the background daemon to only sync node metadata. That's
why we move placement metadata changes from disable node to
activate node. With that, we can make sure that disable node
only changes node metadata, whereas activate node syncs all
the metadata changes. In essence, we already expect all
nodes to be up when a node is activated. So, this does not change
the behavior much.
Before that PR we were updating citus.pg_dist_object metadata, which keeps
the metadata related to objects on Citus, only on the coordinator node. In
order to allow using those object from worker nodes (or erroring out with
proper error message) we've started to propagate that metedata to worker
nodes as well.
As of master branch, Citus does all the modifications to replicated tables
(e.g., reference tables and distributed tables with replication factor > 1),
via 2PC and avoids any shardstate=3. As a side-effect of those changes,
handling node failures for replicated tables change.
With this PR, when one (or multiple) node failures happen, the users would
see query errors on modifications. If the problem is intermitant, that's OK,
once the node failure(s) recover by themselves, the modification queries would
succeed. If the node failure(s) are permenant, the users should call
`SELECT citus_disable_node(...)` to disable the node. As soon as the node is
disabled, modification would start to succeed. However, now the old node gets
behind. It means that, when the node is up again, the placements should be
re-created on the node. First, use `SELECT citus_activate_node()`. Then, use
`SELECT replicate_table_shards(...)` to replicate the missing placements on
the re-activated node.
The checks for preventing to remove a node are very much reference
table centric. We are soon going to add the same checks for replicated
tables. So, make the checks generic such that:
(a) replicated tables fit naturally
(b) we can the same checks in `citus_disable_node`.
The logging of the amount of ignored moves crashed when no distributed
tables existed in a cluster. This also fixes in passing that the logging
of ignored moves logs the correct number of ignored moves if there
exist multiple colocation groups and all are rebalanced at the same time.

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
When creating a new distributed table. The shards would colocate with shards
with SHARD_STATE_TO_DELETE (shardstate = 4). This means if that state was
because of a shard move the new shard would be created on two nodes and it
would not get deleted since it's shard state would be 1.
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.
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.
When `master_update_node` is called to update a node's location it waits for appropriate locks to become available. This is useful during normal operation as new operations will be blocked till after the metadata update while running operations have time to finish.
When `master_update_node` is called after a node failure it is less useful to wait for running operations to finish as they can't. The lock being held indicates an operation that once attempted to commit will fail as the machine already failed. Now the downside is the failover is postponed till the termination point of the operation. This has been observed by users to take a significant amount of time causing the rest of the system to be observed unavailable.
With this patch it is possible in such situations to invoke `master_update_node` with 2 optional arguments:
- `force` (bool defaults to `false`): When called with true the update of the metadata will be forced to proceed by terminating conflicting backends. A cancel is not enough as the backend might be in idle time (eg. an interactive session, or going back and forth between an appliaction), therefore a more intrusive solution of termination is used here.
- `lock_cooldown` (int defaults to `10000`): This is the time in milliseconds before conflicting backends are terminated. This is to allow the backends to finish cleanly before terminating them. This allows the user to set an upperbound to the expected time to complete the metadata update, eg. performing the failover.
The functionality is implemented by spawning a background worker that has the task of helping a certain backend in acquiring its locks. The backend is either terminated on successful execution of the metadata update, or once the memory context of the expression gets reset, eg. on a cancel of the statement.
- master_activate_node and master_disable_node correctly toggle
isActive, without crashing
- master_add_node rejects duplicate nodes, even if they're in different
clusters
- master_remove_node allows removing nodes in different clusters
