Make sure that intermediate results use a connection that is
not associated with any placement. That is useful in two ways:
- More complex queries can be executed with CTEs
- Safely use the same connections when there is a foreign key
to reference table from a distributed table, which needs to
use the same connection for modifications since the reference
table might cascade to the distributed table.
This table will be used by Citus Enterprise to populate authentication-
related fields in outbound connections; Citus Community lacks support
for this functionality.
To support more flexible (i.e. not at compile-time) specification of
libpq connection parameters, this change adds a new GUC, node_conninfo,
which must be a space-separated string of key-value pairs suitable for
parsing by libpq's connection establishment methods.
To avoid rebuilding and parsing these values at connection time, this
change also adds a cache in front of the configuration params to permit
immediate use of any previously-calculated parameters.
We're relying on multi_shard_modify_mode GUC for real-time SELECTs.
The name of the GUC is unfortunate, but, adding one more GUC
(or renaming the GUC) would make the UX even worse. Given that this
mode is mostly important for transaction blocks that involve modification
/DDL queries along with real-time SELECTs, we can live with the confusion.
After this commit DDL commands honour `citus.multi_shard_modify_mode`.
We preferred using the code-path that executes single task router
queries (e.g., ExecuteSingleModifyTask()) in order not to invent
a new executor that is only applicable for DDL commands that require
sequential execution.
Errors thrown in the COMMIT handler will cause Postgres to segfault,
there's nothing it can do it abort the transaction by the time that
handler is called!
RemoveIntermediateResultsDirectory is problematic for two reasons:
- It has calls to ereport(ERROR which have been known to trigger
- It makes memory allocations which raise ERRORs when they fail
Once the COMMIT process has begun we don't use the intermediate results,
so it's safe to remove them a little earlier in the process. A failure
here will abort the transaction. That's pretty unnecessary, it's not
that important that we remove the results, but it's still better than a
crash.
Previously we checked if an operator is in pg_catalog, and if it wasn't we prefixed it with namespace in worker queries. This can have a huge impact on performance of physical planner when using custom data types.
This happened regardless of current search_path config, because Citus overrides the search path in get_query_def_extended(). When we do so, the check for existence of the operator in current search path in generate_operator_name() fails for any operators outside pg_catalog. This means that nothing gets cached, and in the following calls we will again recheck the system tables for existence of the operators, which took an additional 40-50ms for some of the usecases we were seeing.
In this change we skip the pg_catalog check, and always prefix the operator with its namespace.
* Change worker_hash_partition_table() such that the
divergence between Citus planner's hashing and
worker_hash_partition_table() becomes the same.
* Rename single partitioning to single range partitioning.
* Add single hash repartitioning. Basically, logical planner
treats single hash and range partitioning almost equally.
Physical planner, on the other hand, treats single hash and
dual hash repartitioning almost equally (except for JoinPruning).
* Add a new GUC to enable this feature
utilityStmt sometimes (such as when it's inside of a plpgsql function)
comes from a cached plan, which is kept in a child of the
CacheMemoryContext. When we naively call copyObject we're copying it into
a statement-local context, which corrupts the cached plan when it's
thrown away.
This commit doesn't change any of the logic at all.
Instead, the goal is to:
* Get rid of any code duplication
* Incremental changes to the optimizer made it slightly hard
to follow the code, improve that and make it easier to
implement new features
* Simplify the code by moving each part of query processing (e.g.,
DISTINCT, LIMIT etc) into its own function
* Make the interaction between each part of the query more
obvious (e.g., How DISTINCT affects LIMIT etc)
