The reason we should use ActiveReadableNodeList instead of ActiveReadableNonCoordinatorNodeList is that if coordinator is added to cluster as a worker, it should be counted as well. Otherwise if there is only coordinator in the cluster, the count will be 0, hence we get a warning.
In MultiTaskTrackerExecute, we should connect to coordinator if it is
added to the cluster because it will also be assigned tasks.
ActiveReadableWorkerNodeList doesn't include coordinator, however if
coordinator is added as a worker, we should also include that while
planning. The current methods are very easily misusable and this
requires a refactoring to make the distinction between methods that
include coordinator and that don't very explicit as they can introduce
subtle/major bugs pretty easily.
Static analysis found an issue where we could dereference `NULL`, because
`CreateDummyPlacement` could return `NULL` when there were no workers. This
PR changes it so that it never returns `NULL`, which was intended by
@marcocitus when doing this change: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/3887/files#r438136433
While adding tests for citus on a single node I also added some more basic
tests and it turns out we error out on repartition joins. This has been
present since `shouldhaveshards` was introduced and is not trivial to fix.
So I created a separate issue for this: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/3996
