We've had custom versions of Postgres its `foreach` macro which with a
hidden ListCell for quite some time now. People like these custom
macros, because they are easier to use and require less boilerplate.
This adds similar custom versions of Postgres its `forboth` macro. Now
you don't need ListCells anymore when looping over two lists at the same
time.
Before this commit, we erroneously converted the sequence
type to the column's type it is used. However, it is possible
that the sequence is used in an expression which then converted
to a type that cannot be a sequence, such as text.
With this commit, we only try this conversion if the column
type is a supported sequence type (e.g., smallint, int and bigint).
Note that we do this conversion because if the column type is a
bigint and the sequence is NOT a bigint, users would be in trouble
because sequences would generate values that are out of the range
of the column. (The other ways are already not supported such as
the column is int and the sequence is bigint would fail on the worker.)
In other words, with this commit, we scope this optimization only
when the target column type is a supported sequence type. Otherwise,
we let users to more freely use the sequences.
DESCRIPTION: Prevent Citus table functions from being called on shards
The operations that guard against using shards are:
* Create Local Table
* Create distributed table (which affects reference table creation as well).
* I used a `ErrorIfRaltionIsKnownShard` instead of `ErrorIfIllegallyChangingKnownShard`.
`ErrorIfIllegallyChangingKnownShard` allows the operation if `citus.enable_manual_changes_to_shards`,
but I am not sure if it ever makes sense to create a distributed, reference, or citus local table out of a shard.
I tried to go over the code to identify other UDF-s where shards could be illegaly changed, but I could not find any other.
My knowledge of the codebase is not solid enough for me to say for sure.
Fixes#5610
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.
With https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/2780, we allow
COPY to use any number of connections that the executor used
in a tx block.
Meaning that, while COPYing data to the shards, create_distributed_table
could allow sequential mode.
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.
Before this commit, creating a partition after a DROP column
on the parent (position before dist. key) was leading to
partition to have the wrong distribution column.
* Alter seq type when we first use the seq in a dist table

* ALTER SEQUENCE propagation
* Tests for ALTER SEQUENCE propagation
* Relocate AlterSequenceType and ensure dependencies for sequence
* Support for citus local tables, and other fixes
* Final formatting

Previously this was usually done after argument parsing. This can cause
SEGFAULTs if the number or type of arguments changes in a new version.
By checking that Citus version is correct before doing any argument
parsing we protect against these types of issues. Issues like this have
occurred in pg_auto_failover, so it's not just a theoretical issue.
The main reason why these calls were not at the top of functions is
really just historical. It was because in the past we didn't allow
statements before declarations. Thus having this check before the
argument parsing would have only been possible if we first declared all
variables.
In addition to moving existing CheckCitusVersion calls it also adds
these calls to rebalancer related functions (they were missing there).
pg_get_tableschemadef_string doesn't know how to deparse identity
columns so we cannot reflect those columns when creating shell
relation.
For this reason, we don't allow adding local tables -having identity cols-
to metadata.
For certaion purposes, we drop and recreate the foreign
keys. As we acquire exclusive locks on the tables in between
drop and re-create, we can safely skip validation phase of
the foreign keys. The reason is purely being performance as
foreign key validation could take a long value.
Refactor internals on how Citus creates the SQL commands it sends to recreate shards.
Before Citus collected solely ddl commands as `char *`'s to recreate a table. If they were used to create a shard they were wrapped with `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` and send to the workers. On the workers the UDF wrapping the ddl command would rewrite the parsetree to replace tables names with their shard name equivalent.
This worked well, but poses an issue when adding columnar. Due to limitations in Postgres on creating custom options on table access methods we need to fall back on a UDF to set columnar specific options. Now, to recreate the table, we can not longer rely on having solely DDL statements to recreate a table.
A prototype was made to run this UDF wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`. This became pretty messy, hard to understand and subsequently hard to maintain.
This PR proposes a refactor of the internal representation of table ddl commands into a `TableDDLCommand` structure. The current implementation only supports a `char *` as its contents. Based on the use of the DDL statement (eg. creating the table -mx- or creating a shard) one of two different functions can be called to get the statement to send to the worker:
- `GetTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command)`: This function returns that ddl command to create the table. In this implementation it will just return the `char *`. This has the same functionality as getting the old list and not wrapping it.
- `GetShardedTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command, uint64 shardId, char *schemaName)`: This function returns the ddl command wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` with the `shardId` as an argument. Due to backwards compatibility it also accepts a. `schemaName`. The exact purpose is not directly clear. Ideally new implementations would work with fully qualified statements and ignore the `schemaName`.
A future implementation could accept 2.function pointers and a `void *` for context to let the two pointers work on. This gives greater flexibility in controlling what commands get send in which situations. Also, in a future, we could implement the intermediate step of creating the `parsetree` datastructure of statements based on the contents in the catalog with a corresponding deparser. For sharded queries a mutator could be ran over the parsetree to rewrite the tablenames to the names with the shard identifier. This will completely omit the requirement for `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`.
This commit brings following features:
Foreign key support from citus local tables to reference tables
* Foreign key support from reference tables to citus local tables
(only with RESTRICT & NO ACTION behavior)
* ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE trigger command support
* CREATE/DROP/ALTER trigger command support
and disallows:
* ALTER TABLE ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION commands
* CREATE TABLE <postgres table> ATTACH PARTITION <citus local table>
commands
* Foreign keys from postgres tables to citus local tables
(the other way was already disallowed)
for citus local tables.
Introduce table entry utility functions
Citus table cache entry utilities are introduced so that we can easily
extend existing functionality with minimum changes, specifically changes
to these functions. For example IsNonDistributedTableCacheEntry can be
extended for citus local tables without the need to scan the whole
codebase and update each relevant part.
* Introduce utility functions to find the type of tables
A table type can be a reference table, a hash/range/append distributed
table. Utility methods are created so that we don't have to worry about
how a table is considered as a reference table etc. This also makes it
easy to extend the table types.
* Add IsCitusTableType utilities
* Rename IsCacheEntryCitusTableType -> IsCitusTableTypeCacheEntry
* Change citus table types in some checks
