There was a bug reported for previous versions of Citus where
shard\_size was returning NULL for tables with spaces in them. It works
fine on the main branch though, but I'm still adding a test for this to
the main branch because it seems a good test to have.
During the creation of the devcontainer we need to add a ppa repository,
which is easiest done via software-properies-common. As turns out this
installes pkexec into the container as a side effect.
When vscode tries to attach a debugger it first checks if pkexec is
installed as this gives a nicer popup asking for elevation of rights to
attach to the process. However, since dev containers don't have a
windowing system running pkexec isn't working as expected and thus
prevents the debugger from attaching.
Without pkexec in the container vscode 'falls back' to plain old sudo
which we can run passwordless in the container.
For pkexec to be removed we need to first purge
software-propertied-common as well as autoremove all packages that were
installed due to the installation of said package. By performing this
all in one step we minimize the size of the layer we are creating.
DESCRIPTION: Send keepalive messages during the logical replication
phase of large shard splits to avoid timeouts.
During the logical replication part of the shard split process, split
decoder filters out the wal records produced by the initial copy. If the
number of wal records is big, then split decoder ends up processing for
a long time before sending out any wal records through pgoutput. Hence
the wal receiver may time out and restarts repeatedly causing our split
driver code catch up logic to fail.
Notes:
1. If the wal_receiver_timeout is set to a very small number e.g. 600ms,
it may time out before receiving the keepalives. My tests show that this
code works best when the` wal_receiver_timeout `is set to 1minute, which
is the default value.
2. Once a logical replication worker time outs, a new one gets launched.
The new logical replication worker sets the pg_stat_subscription columns
to initial values. E.g. the latest_end_lsn is set to 0. Our driver logic
in `WaitForGroupedLogicalRepTargetsToCatchUp` can not handle LSN value
to go back. This is the main reason for it to get stuck in the infinite
loop.
This change adds a devcontainer configuration to the Citus project. This
devcontainer allows for quick generation of isolated development
environments, either local on the machine of a developer or in a cloud,
like github codepaces.
The devcontainer is updated automatically by github actions when its
configuration changes.
For more detailed instructions on how to quickstart the development in a
container see CONTRIBUTING.md
DESCRIPTION: Fix leaking of memory and memory contexts in Foreign
Constraint Graphs
Previously, every time we (re)created the Foreign Constraint
Relationship Graph, we created a new Memory Context while loosing a
reference to the previous context. This old context could still have
left over memory in there causing a memory leak.
With this patch we statically have one memory context that we lazily
initialize the first time we create our foreign constraint relationship
graph. On every subsequent creation, beside destroying our previous
hashmap we also reset our memory context to remove any left over
references.
This commit aims to add a comprehensive guide that covers all essential
aspects of Citus, including planning, execution, locking mechanisms,
shard moves, 2PC, and many other major components of Citus.

When testing rolling Citus upgrades, coordinator should not be upgraded
until we upgrade all the workers.

DESCRIPTION: Shard moves/isolate report LSN's in lsn format
While investigating an issue with our catchup mechanism on certain
postgres versions we noticed we print LSN's in the format of the native
long type. This is an uncommon representation for LSN's in postgres
logs.
This patch changes the output of our log message to go from the long
type representation to the native LSN type representation. Making it
easier for postgres users to recognize and compare LSN's with other
related reports.
example of new output:
```
2023-09-25 17:28:47.544 CEST [11345] LOG: The LSN of the target subscriptions on node localhost:9701 have increased from 0/0 to 0/E1ED20F8 at 2023-09-25 17:28:47.544165+02 where the source LSN is 1/415DCAD0
```
If you make a fresh install make clean is not
required. However, if you install before, without
a make install, one can get errors
