Fixes#513
This change modifies the DDL Propagation logic so that DDL queries
are propagated via 2-Phase Commit protocol. This way, failures during
the execution of distributed DDL commands will not leave the table in
an intermediate state and the pending prepared transactions can be
commited manually.
DDL commands are not allowed inside other transaction blocks or functions.
DDL commands are performed with 2PC regardless of the value of
`citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol` parameter.
The workflow of the successful case is this:
1. Open individual connections to all shard placements and send `BEGIN`
2. Send `SELECT worker_apply_shard_ddl_command(<shardId>, <DDL Command>)`
to all connections, one by one, in a serial manner.
3. Send `PREPARE TRANSCATION <transaction_id>` to all connections.
4. Sedn `COMMIT` to all connections.
Failure cases:
- If a worker problem occurs before sending of all DDL commands is finished, then
all changes are rolled back.
- If a worker problem occurs after all DDL commands are sent but not after
`PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are finished, then all changes are rolled back.
However, if a worker node is failed, then the prepared transactions in that worker
should be rolled back manually.
- If a worker problem occurs during `COMMIT PREPARED` statements are being sent,
then the prepared transactions on the failed workers should be commited manually.
- If master fails before the first 'PREPARE TRANSACTION' is sent, then nothing is
changed on workers.
- If master fails during `PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are being sent, then the
prepared transactions on workers should be rolled back manually.
- If master fails during `COMMIT PREPARED` or `ROLLBACK PREPARED` commands are being
sent, then the remaining prepared transactions on the workers should be handled manually.
This change also helps with #480, since failed DDL changes no longer mark
failed placements as inactive.
Fixes#463
OID of user-defined types may be different in master and worker nodes. This causes errors
while sending data between nodes with binary nodes. Because binary copy format adds OID
of the element if it is in an array. The code adding OID is in PostgreSQL code, therefore
we cannot change it. Instead we decided to use text format if we try to send array of
user-defined type.
Fixes#550, fixes#545
If table name contains special characters, it needs to be escaped. However in some cases,
we escape table name before appending shardId, which causes syntax error in the queries
sent to worker nodes. With this change we now append shardId before escaping table names.
Fixes#10
This change creates a new UDF: master_modify_multiple_shards
Parameters:
modify_query: A simple DELETE or UPDATE query as a string.
The UDF is similar to the existing master_apply_delete_command UDF.
Basically, given the modify query, it prunes the shard list, re-constructs
the query for each shard and sends the query to the placements.
Depending on the value of citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol, the commit
can be done in one-phase or two-phase manner.
Limitations:
* It cannot be called inside a transaction block
* It only be called with simple operator expressions (like Single Shard Modify)
Sample Usage:
```
SELECT master_modify_multiple_shards(
'DELETE FROM customer_delete_protocol WHERE c_custkey > 500 AND c_custkey < 500');
```
Now, we can copy to an append-partitioned distributed relation from
any worker node by providing master options such as;
COPY relation_name FROM file_path WITH (delimiter '|', master_host 'localhost', master_port 5432);
where master_port is optional and default is 5432.
This change renames the distributed transaction manager parameter from
citus.copy_transaction_manager to citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol.
Distributed transaction manager has been used only by the COPY on hash
partitioned tables but it can be used by upcoming features so, we needed
to rename so that its name do not contain a reference to COPY.
The change also includes renames like transaction_manager_options to
commit_protocol_options and TRANSACTION_MANAGER_1PC to COMMIT_PROTOCOL_1PC.
With this change, declaration of MultiShardCommitProtocol (was
CopyTransactionManager) is moved from multi_copy.c to multi_transaction.c.
So far we've always used libpq defaults when connecting to workers; bar
special environment variables being set that'll always be the user that
started the server. That's not desirable because it prevents using
users with fewer privileges.
Thus change the various APIs creating connections to workers to always
use usernames. That means:
1) MultiClientConnect() needs to, optionally, accept a username
2) GetOrEstablishConnection(), including the underlying cache, need to
use the current user as part of the connection cache key. That way
connections for separate users are distinct, and we always use one
with the correct authorization.
3) The task tracker needs to keep track of the username associated with
a task, so it can use it when establishing connections outside the
originating session.
This commit adds a fast shard pruning path for INSERTs on
hash-partitioned tables. The rationale behind this change is
that if there exists a sorted shard interval array, a single
index lookup on the array allows us to find the corresponding
shard interval. As mentioned above, we need a sorted
(wrt shardminvalue) shard interval array. Thus, this commit
updates shardIntervalArray to sortedShardIntervalArray in the
metadata cache. Then uses the low-level API that is defined in
multi_copy to handle the fast shard pruning.
The performance impact of this change is more apparent as more
shards exist for a distributed table. Previous implementation
was relying on linear search through the shard intervals. However,
this commit relies on constant lookup time on shard interval
array. Thus, the shard pruning becomes less dependent on the
shard count.
