This UDF coordinates connectivity checks accross the whole cluster.
This UDF gets the list of active readable nodes in the cluster, and
coordinates all connectivity checks in sequential order.
The algorithm is:
for sourceNode in activeReadableWorkerList:
c = connectToNode(sourceNode)
for targetNode in activeReadableWorkerList:
result = c.execute(
"SELECT citus_check_connection_to_node(targetNode.name,
targetNode.port")
emit sourceNode.name,
sourceNode.port,
targetNode.name,
targetNode.port,
result
- result -> true -> connection attempt from source to target succeeded
- result -> false -> connection attempt from source to target failed
- result -> NULL -> connection attempt from the current node to source node failed
I suggest you use the following query to get an overview on the connectivity:
SELECT bool_and(COALESCE(result, false))
FROM citus_check_cluster_node_health();
Whenever this query returns false, there is a connectivity issue, check in detail.
PostgreSQL does not need calling this function since 7.4 release, and it
is a NOOP.

tuplestore_donestoring() isn't needed anymore, but provide a no-op
macro definition so as not to create compatibility problems.

citus_check_connection_to_node runs a simple query on a remote node and
reports whether this attempt was successful.
This UDF will be used to make sure each worker node can connect to all
the worker nodes in the cluster.

boolean success
Previously this was usually done after argument parsing. This can cause
SEGFAULTs if the number or type of arguments changes in a new version.
By checking that Citus version is correct before doing any argument
parsing we protect against these types of issues. Issues like this have
occurred in pg_auto_failover, so it's not just a theoretical issue.
The main reason why these calls were not at the top of functions is
really just historical. It was because in the past we didn't allow
statements before declarations. Thus having this check before the
argument parsing would have only been possible if we first declared all
variables.
In addition to moving existing CheckCitusVersion calls it also adds
these calls to rebalancer related functions (they were missing there).
