A shard move would fail if there was an orphaned version of the shard on
the target node. With this change before actually fail, we try to clean
up orphaned shards to see if that fixes the issue.
Sometimes the background daemon doesn't cleanup orphaned shards quickly
enough. It's useful to have a UDF to trigger this removal when needed.
We already had a UDF like this but it was only used during testing. This
exposes that UDF to users. As a safety measure it cannot be run in a
transaction, because that would cause the background daemon to stop
cleaning up shards while this transaction is running.

We have a slightly different behavior when using truncate_local_data_after_distributing_table UDF on metadata synced clusters. This PR aims to add tests to cover such cases.
We allow distributing tables with data that have foreign keys to reference tables only on metadata synced clusters. This is the reason why some of my earlier tests failed when run on a single node Citus cluster.
InvalidateForeignKeyGraph sends an invalidation via shared memory to all
backends, including the current one.
However, we might not call AcceptInvalidationMessages before reading
from the cache below. It would be better to also add a call to
AcceptInvalidationMessages in IsForeignConstraintRelationshipGraphValid.
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).
The current default citus settings for tests are not really best
practice anymore. However, we keep them because lots of tests depend on
them.
I noticed that I created the same test harness for new tests I added all
the time. This is a simple script that generates that harness, given a
name for the test.
To run:
src/test/regress/bin/create_test.py my_awesome_test
To be able to report progress of the rebalancer, the rebalancer updates
the state of a shard move in a shared memory segment. To then fetch the
progress, `get_rebalance_progress` can be called which reads this shared
memory.
Without this change it did so without using any synchronization
primitives, allowing for data races. This fixes that by using atomic
operations to update and read from the parts of the shared memory that
can be changed after initialization.
Deprecates the `citus.replication_model` GUC
We used to have 2 different GUCs that decided shard replication models:
- `citus.replication_model`: either set to "statement" or "streaming"
- `citus.shard_replication_factor` that prevents us to use streaming
replication when greater than 1.
This PR aims to deprecate the `citus.replication_model` GUC and decide
on the replication model, solely based on the shard replication factor
of distributed tables that are affected by queries.
DESCRIPTION: fix shared dependencies that are not resident in a database
eg. databases depend on users (their owners) that both don’t have a
database they reside in. These dependencies are recorded in pg_shdepend
with a `dbid` of `InvalidOid` When we fetch our shared dependencies we don’t take
these links in account.
With this patch we use logic inspired by `classIdGetDbId` to decide when to use `MyDatabaseId` vs `InvalidOid` to correctly resolve dependencies between shared objects.
Without this change the rebalancer progress monitor gets the shard sizes
from the `shardlength` column in `pg_dist_placement`. This column needs to
be updated manually by calling `citus_update_table_statistics`.
However, `citus_update_table_statistics` could lead to distributed
deadlocks while database traffic is on-going (see #4752).
To work around this we don't use `shardlength` column anymore. Instead
for every rebalance we now fetch all shard sizes on the fly.
Two additional things this does are:
1. It adds tests for the rebalance progress function.
2. If a shard move cannot be done because a source or target node is
unreachable, then we error in stop the rebalance, instead of showing
a warning and continuing. When using the by_disk_size rebalance
strategy it's not safe to continue with other moves if a specific
move failed. It's possible that the failed move made space for the
next move, and because the failed move never happened this space now
does not exist.
3. Adds two new columns to the result of `get_rebalancer_progress` which
shows the size of the shard on the source and target node.
Fixes#4930
DESCRIPTION: Add support for ALTER DATABASE OWNER
This adds support for changing the database owner. It achieves this by marking the database as a distributed object. By marking the database as a distributed object it will look for its dependencies and order the user creation commands (enterprise only) before the alter of the database owner. This is mostly important when adding new nodes.
By having the database marked as a distributed object it can easily understand for which `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` commands to propagate by resolving the object address of the database and verifying it is a distributed object, and hence should propagate changes of owner ship to all workers.
Given the ownership of the database might have implications on subsequent commands in transactions we force sequential mode for transactions that have a `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` command in them. This will fail the transaction with meaningful help when the transaction already executed parallel statements.
By default the feature is turned off since roles are not automatically propagated, having it turned on would cause hard to understand errors for the user. It can be turned on by the user via setting the `citus.enable_alter_database_owner`.
Comment from the code:
/*
* Iterate until all the tasks are finished. Once all the tasks
* are finished, ensure that that all the connection initializations
* are also finished. Otherwise, those connections are terminated
* abruptly before they are established (or failed). Instead, we let
* the ConnectionStateMachine() to properly handle them.
*
* Note that we could have the connections that are not established
* as a side effect of slow-start algorithm. At the time the algorithm
* decides to establish new connections, the execution might have tasks
* to finish. But, the execution might finish before the new connections
* are established.

Note that the abruptly terminated connections lead to the following errors:
2020-11-16 21:09:09.800 CET [16633] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
2020-11-16 21:09:09.872 CET [16657] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Undefined error: 0
2020-11-16 21:09:09.894 CET [16667] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
To easily reproduce the issue:
- Create a single node Citus
- Add the coordinator to the metadata
- Create a distributed table with shards on the coordinator
- f.sql: select count(*) from test;
- pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 or pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 -C
With this commit, the executor becomes smarter about refrain to open
new connections. The very basic example is that, if the connection
establishments take 1000ms and task executions as 5 msecs, the executor
becomes smart enough to not establish new connections.
We often change result types of functions slightly. Our downgrade tests
wouldn't notice these changes. This change adds them to the description
of these items.
