With https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/4806 we enabled
2PC for any non-read-only local task. However, if the execution
is a single task, enabling 2PC (CoordinatedTransactionShouldUse2PC)
hits an assertion as we are not in a coordinated transaction.
There is no downside of using a coordinated transaction for single
task local queries.
Because setting the flag doesn't necessarily mean that we'll
use 2PC. If connections are read-only, we will not use 2PC.
In other words, we'll use 2PC only for connections that modified
any placements.
Before this commit, Citus used 2PC no matter what kind of
local query execution happens.
For example, if the coordinator has shards (and the workers as well),
even a simple SELECT query could start 2PC:
```SQL
WITH cte_1 AS (SELECT * FROM test LIMIT 10) SELECT count(*) FROM cte_1;
```
In this query, the local execution of the shards (and also intermediate
result reads) triggers the 2PC.
To prevent that, Citus now distinguishes local reads and local writes.
And, Citus switches to 2PC only if a modification happens. This may
still lead to unnecessary 2PCs when there is a local modification
and remote SELECTs only. Though, we handle that separately
via #4587.
When we use PROCESS_UTILITY_TOPLEVEL it causes some problems when
combined with other extensions such as pg_audit. With this commit we use
PROCESS_UTILITY_QUERY in the codebase to fix those problems.
* Make undistribute_table() and citus_create_local_table() work with columnar
* Rename and use LocallyExecuteUtilityTask for UDF check
* Remove 'local' references in ExecuteUtilityCommand
Multi-row execution already uses sequential execution. When shards
are local, using local execution is profitable as it avoids
an extra connection establishment to the local node.
* Move local execution after the remote execution
Before this commit, when both local and remote tasks
exist, the executor was starting the execution with
local execution. There is no strict requirements on
this.
Especially considering the adaptive connection management
improvements that we plan to roll soon, moving the local
execution after to the remote execution makes more sense.
The adaptive connection management for single node Citus
would look roughly as follows:
- Try to connect back to the coordinator for running
parallel queries.
- If succeeds, go on and execute tasks in parallel
- If fails, fallback to the local execution
So, we'll use local execution as a fallback mechanism. And,
moving it after to the remote execution allows us to implement
such further scenarios.
With this commit, we make sure that local execution adds the
intermediate result size as the distributed execution adds. Plus,
it enforces the citus.max_intermediate_result_size value.
We should not access CurrentLocalExecutionStatus directly because that
would mean that we could also set it directly, which we shouldn't
because we have checks to see if the new state is possible, otherwise we
error.
The error message when index has opclassopts is improved and the commit
from postgres side is also included for future reference.
Also some minor style related changes are applied.
This commit mostly adds pg_get_triggerdef_command to our ruleutils_13.
This doesn't add anything extra for ruleutils 13 so it is basically a copy
of the change on ruleutils_12
As the new planner and pg_plan_query_compat methods expect the query
string as well, macros are defined to be compatible in different
versions of postgres.

If we want to get necessary lockmode for a relation RangeVar within
a query, we can get the lockmode easily from the RangeVar itself (if
pg version >= 12).
However, if we want to decide the lockmode appropriate for the
"query", we can derive this information by using GetQueryLockMode
according to the code comment from RangeTblEntry->rellockmode.
Implements a new `TupleDestination` interface to allow custom tuple processing per task.
This can be specially useful if a task contains multiple queries. An example of this EXPLAIN
ANALYZE, where it needs to add some UDF calls to the query to fetch the explain output
from worker after fetching the actual query results.
This PR removes ExecuteUtilityTaskListWithoutResults and uses the same
path for local execution via ExecuteTaskListExtended.
ExecuteUtilityTaskList is added. ExecuteLocalTaskListExtended now has a
parameter for utility commands so that it can call the right method. In
order not to change the existing calls,
ExecuteTaskListExtendedInternal is added, which is the main method that
runs the execution, via local and remote execution.
* Not append empty task in ExtractLocalAndRemoteTasks
ExtractLocalAndRemoteTasks extracts the local and remote tasks. If we do
not have a local task the localTaskPlacementList will be NIL, in this
case we should not append anything to local tasks. Previously we would
first check if a task contains a single placement or not, now we first
check if there is any local task before doing anything.
* fix copy of node task
Task node has task query, which might contain a list of strings in its
fields. We were using postgres copyObject for these lists. Postgres
assumes that each element of list will be a node type. If it is not a
node type it will error.
As a solution to that, a new macro is introduced to copy a list of
strings.
We currently don't use any cursor flags in local execution, but we can
use CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK flag to potentially benefit from parallelism
when possible.
We have two variables that are related to local execution status.
TransactionAccessedLocalPlacement and
TransactionConnectedToLocalGroup. Only one of these fields should be
set, however we didn't have any check for this contraint and it was
error prone.
What those two variables are used is that we are trying to understand if
we should use local execution, the current session, or if we should be
using a connection to execute the current query, therefore the tasks. In
the enum, now it is more clear what these variables mean.
Also, now we have a method to change the local execution status. The
method will error if we are trying to transition from a state to a wrong
state. This will help us avoid problems.
* use local executon when in a transaction block
When we are inside a transaction block, there could be other methods
that need local execution, therefore we will use local execution in a
transaction block.
* update test outputs with transaction block local execution
* add a test to verify we dont leak intermediate schemas
It is possible to return an error in ExecuteTaskListExtended after
performing local execution with the current structure. However there is
no point in execution the local tasks if we are going to return an error
later. So the local execution is moved after the error check.
* explicitly return false if transaction connected to local node
* not set TransactionConnectedToLocalGroup if we are writing to a file
We use TransactionConnectedToLocalGroup to prevent local execution from
happening as that might cause visibility problems. As files are visible
to all transactions, we shouldn't set this variable if we are writing to
a file.
In case we don't care about the tupleStoreState in
ExecuteLocalTaskListExtended, it could be passed as null. In that case
we will get a seg error. This changes it so that a dummy tuple store
will be created when it is null.
Do not use local execution in ExecuteTaskListOutsideTransaction.
As we are going to run the tasks outside transaction, we shouldn't use local execution.
However, there is some problem when using local execution related to
repartition joins, when we solve that problem, we can execute the tasks
coming to this path with local execution.
Also logging the local command is simplified.
normalize job id in worker_hash_partition_table in test outputs.
ExecuteTaskListExtended is the common method for different codepaths,
and instead of writing separate local execution logics in different
codepaths, it makes more sense to have the logic here. We still need to
do some refactoring, this is an initial step.
After this commit, we can run create shard commands locally. There is a
special case with shard creation commands. A create shard command might
have a concatenated query string, however local execution did not know
how to execute a task with multiple query strings. This is also
implemented in this commit. We go over each query in the concatenated
query string and plan/execute them one by one.
A more clean solution to this would be to make sure that each task has a
single query. We currently cannot do that because we need to ensure the
task dependencies. However, it would make sense to do that at some point
and it would simplify the code a lot.
ExecuteLocalTaskList doesn't need scanState as it only uses
paramListInfo, distributedPlan and tupleStoreState. It is better to pass
only the variables that the function needs, so that we can call this
function from other places when we dont have scanState.
We had many fields in task related to query strings. It was kind of
complex, and only of them could be set at a time. Therefore it makes
more sense to abstract this and use a union so that it is clear that
only of them should be set.
We have three fields that could have query related strings:
- queryForLocation
- queryStringLazy
- perPlacementQueryStrings
Relatively, they can be set with:
- SetTaskQueryString
- SetTaskQueryIfShouldLazyDeparse
- SetTaskPerPlacementQueryStrings
The direct usage of the query related fields are also removed.
Rename queryForLocalExecution
Currently queryForLocalExecution is only used for deparsing purposes,
therefore it makes sense to rename it to what it is doing.
TaskQueryStringForPlacement simplifies how the executor gets the query
string for a given placement. Task will use the necessary fields to
return the correct query placement string. Executor doesn't need to know
the details for this.
rename TaskQueryString as TaskQueryStringAllPlacements
TaskQueryString returns the query string that will be the same for all
the placements. In INSERT..SELECT the query string can be different for
each placement. Adaptive executor uses TaskQueryStringForPlacement,
which returns the query string for a placement. It makes sense to rename
TaskQueryString as TaskQueryStringAllPlacements as it is returning the
query string for all placements.
rename SetTaskQuery as SetTaskQueryIfShouldLazyDeparse
SetTaskQuery does not always sets the task query. It can set the query
string as well. So it is more clear to name it
SetTaskQueryIfShouldLazyDeparse, since it will set the query not query
string only when we should deparse the query in a lazy way.
We can use local copy in INSERT..SELECT, so the check that disables
local execution is removed.
Also a test for local copy where the data size >
LOCAL_COPY_FLUSH_THRESHOLD is added.
