We can now support more complex count distinct operations by
pulling necessary columns to coordinator and evalutating the
aggreage at coordinator.
It supports broad range of expression with the restriction that
the expression must contain a column.
After this commit large_table_shard_count wont be used to
check whether broadcast join, which is renamed as reference
join, can be applied. Reference join can only be applied over
reference tables.
After this change all the logic related to shard data fetch logic
will be removed. Planner won't plan any ShardFetchTask anymore.
Shard fetch related steps in real time executor and task-tracker
executor have been removed.
- Force all platforms to use the same collation
- Force all platforms to use the same locale
- Use /dev/null or NUL, depending on platform
- Use /tmp or %TEMP%, dpeending on platform
We were allowing count distict queries even if they were
not directly on columns if the query is grouped on
distribution column.
When performing these checks we were skipping subqueries
because they also perform this check in a more concise manner.
We relied on oid SUBQUERY_RELATION_ID (10000) to decide if
a given RTE relation id denotes a subquery, however, we also
use SUBQUERY_PUSHDOWN_RELATION_ID (10001) for some subqueries.
We skip both type of subqueries with this change.
By sharing the implementation of the function AppendOptionListToString on
three call sites, we would expand an extra OPTIONS keyword in a create index
statement, and omit other bits of the specific syntax here.
This patch introduces an AppendStorageParametersToString() function that is
very similar to AppendOptionListToString() but handles WITH(a="foo",...)
syntax that is used in reloptions (aka Storage Parameters).
Fixes#1747.
PostgreSQL implements support for several relation kinds in a single
statement, such as in the AlterTableStmt case, which supports both tables
and indexes and more (see ATExecSetRelOptions in PostgreSQL source code file
src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c for an example of that).
As a consequence, this patch implements support for setting and resetting
storage parameters on both relation kinds.
The command is now distributed among the shards when the table is
distributed. To that effect, we fill in the DDLJob's targetRelationId with
the OID of the table for which the index is defined, rather than the OID of
the index itself.
The implementation was already mostly in place, but the code was protected
by a principled check against the operation. Turns out there's a nasty
concurrency bug though with long identifier names, much as in #1664.
To prevent deadlocks from happening, we could either review the DDL
transaction management in shards and placements, or we can simply reject
names with (NAMEDATALEN - 1) chars or more — that's because of the
PostgreSQL array types being created with a one-char prefix: '_'.
Expands count distinct coverage by allowing more cases. We used to support
count distinct only if we can push down distinct aggregate to worker query
i.e. the count distinct clause was on the partition column of the table,
or there was a grouping on the partition column.
Now we can support
- non-partition columns, with or without grouping on partition column
- partition, and non partition column in the same query
- having clause
- single table subqueries
- insert into select queries
- join queries where count distinct is on partition, or non-partition column
- filters on count distinct clauses (extends existing support)
We first try to push down aggregate to worker query (original case), if we
can't then we modify worker query to return distinct columns to coordinator
node. We do that by adding distinct column targets to group by clauses. Then
we perform count distinct operation on the coordinator node.
This work should reduce the cases where HLL is used as it can address anything
that HLL can. However, if we start having performance issues due to very large
number rows, then we can recommend hll use.
This commit provides the support for window functions in subquery and insert
into select queries. Note that our support for window functions is still limited
because it must have a partition by clause on the distribution key. This commit
makes changes in the files insert_select_planner and multi_logical_planner. The
required tests are also added with files multi_subquery_window_functions.out
and multi_insert_select_window.out.
When a NULL connection is provided to PQerrorMessage(), the
returned error message is a static text. Modifying that static
text, which doesn't necessarly be in a writeable memory, is
dangreous and might cause a segfault.
With this commit, we relax the restrictions put on the reference
tables with subquery pushdown.
We did three notable improvements:
1) Relax equi-join restrictions
Previously, we always expected that the non-reference tables are
equi joined with reference tables on the partition key of the
non-reference table.
With this commit, we allow any column of non-reference tables
joined using non-equi joins as well.
2) Relax OUTER JOIN restrictions
Previously Citus errored out if any reference table exists at
any point of the outer part of an outer join. For instance,
See the below sketch where (h) denotes a hash distributed relation,
(r) denotes a reference table, (L) denotes LEFT JOIN and
(I) denotes INNER JOIN.
(L)
/ \
(I) h
/ \
r h
Before this commit Citus would error out since a reference table
appears on the left most part of an left join. However, that was
too restrictive so that we only error out if the reference table
is directly below and in the outer part of an outer join.
3) Bug fixes
We've done some minor bugfixes in the existing implementation.
This change adds support for SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
When transaction connections are not established yet, savepoints are kept in a stack and sent to the worker when the connection is later established. After establishing connections, savepoint commands are sent as they arrive.
This change fixes#1493 .
With this PR, Citus starts to support all possible ways to create
distributed partitioned tables. These are;
- Distributing already created partitioning hierarchy
- CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF a distributed_table
- ALTER TABLE distributed_table ATTACH PARTITION non_distributed_table
- ALTER TABLE distributed_table ATTACH PARTITION distributed_table
We also support DETACHing partitions from partitioned tables and propogating
TRUNCATE and DDL commands to distributed partitioned tables.
This PR also refactors some parts of distributed table creation logic.
