This can save a lot of data to be sent in some cases, thus improving
performance for which inter query bandwidth is the bottleneck.
There's some issues with enabling this as default, so that's currently not done.
We currently put the actual error message to the detail part. However,
many drivers don't show detail part.
As connection errors are somehow common, and hard to trace back, can't
we added the detail to the message itself.
In addition to that, we changed "connection error" message, as it
was confusing to the users who think that the error was happening
while connecting to the coordinator. In fact, this error is showing
up when the coordinator fails to connect remote nodes.
* WIP
* wip
* add basic logic to run a single job with repartioning joins with adaptive executor
* fix some warnings and return in ExecuteDependedTasks if there is none
* Add the logic to run depended jobs in adaptive executor
The execution of depended tasks logic is changed. With the current
logic:
- All tasks are created from the top level task list.
- At one iteration:
- CurTasks whose dependencies are executed are found.
- CurTasks are executed in parallel with adapter executor main
logic.
- The iteration is repeated until all tasks are completed.
* Separate adaptive executor repartioning logic
* Remove duplicate parts
* cleanup directories and schemas
* add basic repartion tests for adaptive executor
* Use the first placement to fetch data
In task tracker, when there are replicas, we try to fetch from a replica
for which a map task is succeeded. TaskExecution is used for this,
however TaskExecution is not used in adaptive executor. So we cannot use
the same thing as task tracker.
Since adaptive executor fails when a map task fails (There is no retry
logic yet). We know that if we try to execute a fetch task, all of its
map tasks already succeeded, so we can just use the first one to fetch
from.
* fix clean directories logic
* do not change the search path while creating a udf
* Enable repartition joins with adaptive executor with only enable_reparitition_joins guc
* Add comments to adaptive_executor_repartition
* dont run adaptive executor repartition test in paralle with other tests
* execute cleanup only in the top level execution
* do cleanup only in the top level ezecution
* not begin a transaction if repartition query is used
* use new connections for repartititon specific queries
New connections are opened to send repartition specific queries. The
opened connections will be closed at the FinishDistributedExecution.
While sending repartition queries no transaction is begun so that
we can see all changes.
* error if a modification was done prior to repartition execution
* not start a transaction if a repartition query and sql task, and clean temporary files and schemas at each subplan level
* fix cleanup logic
* update tests
* add missing function comments
* add test for transaction with DDL before repartition query
* do not close repartition connections in adaptive executor
* rollback instead of commit in repartition join test
* use close connection instead of shutdown connection
* remove unnecesary connection list, ensure schema owner before removing directory
* rename ExecuteTaskListRepartition
* put fetch query string in planner not executor as we currently support only replication factor = 1 with adaptive executor and repartition query and we know the query string in the planner phase in that case
* split adaptive executor repartition to DAG execution logic and repartition logic
* apply review items
* apply review items
* use an enum for remote transaction state and fix cleanup for repartition
* add outside transaction flag to find connections that are unclaimed instead of always opening a new transaction
* fix style
* wip
* rename removejobdir to partition cleanup
* do not close connections at the end of repartition queries
* do repartition cleanup in pg catch
* apply review items
* decide whether to use transaction or not at execution creation
* rename isOutsideTransaction and add missing comment
* not error in pg catch while doing cleanup
* use replication factor of the creation time, not current time to decide if task tracker should be chosen
* apply review items
* apply review items
* apply review item
DESCRIPTION: Distribute Types to worker nodes
When to propagate
==============
There are two logical moments that types could be distributed to the worker nodes
- When they get used ( just in time distribution )
- When they get created ( proactive distribution )
The just in time distribution follows the model used by how schema's get created right before we are going to create a table in that schema, for types this would be when the table uses a type as its column.
The proactive distribution is suitable for situations where it is benificial to have the type on the worker nodes directly. They can later on be used in queries where an intermediate result gets created with a cast to this type.
Just in time creation is always the last resort, you cannot create a distributed table before the type gets created. A good example use case is; you have an existing postgres server that needs to scale out. By adding the citus extension, add some nodes to the cluster, and distribute the table. The type got created before citus existed. There was no moment where citus could have propagated the creation of a type.
Proactive is almost always a good option. Types are not resource intensive objects, there is no performance overhead of having 100's of types. If you want to use them in a query to represent an intermediate result (which happens in our test suite) they just work.
There is however a moment when proactive type distribution is not beneficial; in transactions where the type is used in a distributed table.
Lets assume the following transaction:
```sql
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE tt1 AS (a int, b int);
CREATE TABLE t1 AS (a int PRIMARY KEY, b tt1);
SELECT create_distributed_table('t1', 'a');
\copy t1 FROM bigdata.csv
```
Types are node scoped objects; meaning the type exists once per worker. Shards however have best performance when they are created over their own connection. For the type to be visible on all connections it needs to be created and committed before we try to create the shards. Here the just in time situation is most beneficial and follows how we create schema's on the workers. Outside of a transaction block we will just use 1 connection to propagate the creation.
How propagation works
=================
Just in time
-----------
Just in time propagation hooks into the infrastructure introduced in #2882. It adds types as a supported object in `SupportedDependencyByCitus`. This will make sure that any object being distributed by citus that depends on types will now cascade into types. When types are depending them self on other objects they will get created first.
Creation later works by getting the ddl commands to create the object by its `ObjectAddress` in `GetDependencyCreateDDLCommands` which will dispatch types to `CreateTypeDDLCommandsIdempotent`.
For the correct walking of the graph we follow array types, when later asked for the ddl commands for array types we return `NIL` (empty list) which makes that the object will not be recorded as distributed, (its an internal type, dependant on the user type).
Proactive distribution
---------------------
When the user creates a type (composite or enum) we will have a hook running in `multi_ProcessUtility` after the command has been applied locally. Running after running locally makes that we already have an `ObjectAddress` for the type. This is required to mark the type as being distributed.
Keeping the type up to date
====================
For types that are recorded in `pg_dist_object` (eg. `IsObjectDistributed` returns true for the `ObjectAddress`) we will intercept the utility commands that alter the type.
- `AlterTableStmt` with `relkind` set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate changes to the fields of a composite type.
- `DropStmt` with removeType set to `OBJECT_TYPE` encapsulate `DROP TYPE`.
- `AlterEnumStmt` encapsulates changes to enum values.
Enum types can not be changed transactionally. When the execution on a worker fails a warning will be shown to the user the propagation was incomplete due to worker communication failure. An idempotent command is shown for the user to re-execute when the worker communication is fixed.
Keeping types up to date is done via the executor. Before the statement is executed locally we create a plan on how to apply it on the workers. This plan is executed after we have applied the statement locally.
All changes to types need to be done in the same transaction for types that have already been distributed and will fail with an error if parallel queries have already been executed in the same transaction. Much like foreign keys to reference tables.
This is a preperation for the new executor, where creating shards
would go through the executor. So, explicitly generate the commands
for further processing.
Without this change we crash on Windows with COPYing into a table with
62 shards, and we ERROR when COPYing into a table with >62 shards:
ERROR: WaitForMutipleObjects() failed: error code 87
This commit checks the connection status right after any IO happens
on the socket.
This is necessary since before this commit we didn't pass any information
to the higher level functions whether we're done with the connection
(e.g., no IO required anymore) or an errors happened during the IO.
VLAs aren't supported by Visual Studio.
- Remove all existing instances of VLAs.
- Add a flag, -Werror=vla, which makes gcc refuse to compile if we add
VLAs in the future.
We shouldn't return in middle of a PG_TRY() block because if we do, we won't reset PG_exception_stack, and later when a re-throw tries to jump to the jump-point which was active in this PG_TRY() block, it seg-faults.
We used to return in middle of PG_TRY() block in WaitForConnections() where we checked for cancellations. Whenever cancellations were caught here, Citus crashed. And example was reported by @onderkalaci at #1903.
We sent multiple commands to worker when starting a transaction.
Previously we only checked the result of the first command that
is transaction 'BEGIN' which always succeeds. Any failure on
following commands were not checked.
With this commit, we make sure all command results are checked.
If there is any error we report the first error found.
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.
This commit adds distributed transaction id infrastructure in
the scope of distributed deadlock detection.
In general, the distributed transaction id consists of a tuple
in the form of: `(databaseId, initiatorNodeIdentifier, transactionId,
timestamp)`.
Briefly, we add a shared memory block on each node, which holds some
information per backend (i.e., an array `BackendData backends[MaxBackends]`).
Later, on each coordinated transaction, Citus sends
`SELECT assign_distributed_transaction_id()` right after `BEGIN`.
For that backend on the worker, the distributed transaction id is set to
the values assigned via the function call.
The aim of the above is to correlate the transactions on the coordinator
to the transactions on the worker nodes.
Now that there's no blocking libpq callers left, default to using
non-blocking mode in connection_management.c. This has two
advantages:
1) Blockiness doesn't have to frequently be reset, simplifying code
2) Prevents accidental use of blocking libpq functions, since they'll
frequently return 'need IO'
Adds support for PostgreSQL 10 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
and updating all API usages to conform with changes in PostgreSQL 10.
Most changes are fairly minor but they are numerous. One particular
obstacle was the change in \d behavior in PostgreSQL 10's psql; I had
to add SQL implementations (views, mostly) to mimic the pre-10 output.
With this commit, we started to send explain queries within a savepoint. After
running explain query, we rollback to savepoint. This saves us from side effects
of EXPLAIN ANALYZE on DML queries.
