We used to only check whether the PID is valid
or not. However, Postgres does not necessarily
set the PID of the backend to 0 when it exists.
Instead, we need to be able to check it from procArray.
IsBackendPid() is what pg_stat_activity also relies
on for a similar purpose.
use RecurseObjectDependencies api to find if an object is citus depended
make vanilla tests runnable to see if citus_depended function is working correctly
Similar to #5897, one more step for running Citus with PG 15.
This PR at least make Citus run with PG 15. I have not tried running the tests with PG 15.
Shmem changes are based on 4f2400cb3f
Compile breaks are mostly due to #6008
This PR makes all of the features open source that were previously only
available in Citus Enterprise.
Features that this adds:
1. Non blocking shard moves/shard rebalancer
(`citus.logical_replication_timeout`)
2. Propagation of CREATE/DROP/ALTER ROLE statements
3. Propagation of GRANT statements
4. Propagation of CLUSTER statements
5. Propagation of ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...
6. Optimization for COPY when loading JSON to avoid double parsing of
the JSON object (`citus.skip_jsonb_validation_in_copy`)
7. Support for row level security
8. Support for `pg_dist_authinfo`, which allows storing different
authentication options for different users, e.g. you can store
passwords or certificates here.
9. Support for `pg_dist_poolinfo`, which allows using connection poolers
in between coordinator and workers
10. Tracking distributed query execution times using
citus_stat_statements (`citus.stat_statements_max`,
`citus.stat_statements_purge_interval`,
`citus.stat_statements_track`). This is disabled by default.
11. Blocking tenant_isolation
12. Support for `sslkey` and `sslcert` in `citus.node_conninfo`
* Bug fix for bug #5876. Memset MetadataCacheSystem every time there is an abort
* Created an ObjectAccessHook that saves the transactionlevel of when citus was created and will clear metadatacache if that transaction level is rolled back. Added additional tests to make sure metadatacache is cleared
Columnar: support relation options with ALTER TABLE.
Use ALTER TABLE ... SET/RESET to specify relation options rather than
alter_columnar_table_set() and alter_columnar_table_reset().
Not only is this more ergonomic, but it also allows better integration
because it can be treated like DDL on a regular table. For instance,
citus can use its own ProcessUtility_hook to distribute the new
settings to the shards.
DESCRIPTION: Columnar: support relation options with ALTER TABLE.
* Separate build of citus.so and citus_columnar.so.
Because columnar code is statically-linked to both modules, it doesn't
make sense to load them both at once.
A subsequent commit will make the modules entirely separate and allow
loading them both simultaneously.

* Separate citus and citus_columnar modules.
Now the modules are independent. Columnar can be loaded by itself, or
along with citus.

1) Remove useless columns
2) Show backends that are blocked on a DDL even before
gpid is assigned
3) One minor bugfix, where we clear distributedCommandOriginator
properly.
* [Columnar] Build columnar.so and let citus depends on it

DESCRIPTION: Add GUC to control ddl creation behaviour in transactions
Historically we would _not_ propagate objects when we are in a transaction block. Creation of distributed tables would not always work in sequential mode, hence objects created in the same transaction as distributing a table that would use the just created object wouldn't work. The benefit was that the user could still benefit from parallelism.
Now that the creation of distributed tables is supported in sequential mode it would make sense for users to force transactional consistency of ddl commands for distributed tables. A transaction could switch more aggressively to sequential mode when creating new objects in a transaction.
We don't change the default behaviour just yet.
Also, many objects would not even propagate their creation when the transaction was already set to sequential, leaving the probability of a self deadlock. The new policy checks solve this discrepancy between objects as well.
The low-level StoreAllActiveTransactions() function filters out
backends that exited.
Before this commit, if you run a pgbench, after that you'd still
see the backends show up:
```SQL
select count(*) from get_global_active_transactions();
┌───────┐
│ count │
├───────┤
│ 538 │
└───────┘
```
After this patch, only active backends show-up:
```SQL
select count(*) from get_global_active_transactions();
┌───────┐
│ count │
├───────┤
│ 72 │
└───────┘
```
With https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/5657, Citus uses
a fixed application_name while connecting to remote nodes
for internal purposes.
It means that we cannot allow users to override it via
citus.node_conninfo.
Removed dependency for EnsureTableOwner. Also removed pg_fini() and columnar_tableam_finish() Still need to remove CheckCitusVersion dependency to make Columnar_tableam.h dependency free from Citus.
Replaces citus.enable_object_propagation with citus.enable_metadata_sync
Also, within Citus 11 release cycle, we added citus.enable_metadata_sync_by_default,
that is also replaced with citus.enable_metadata_sync.
In essence, when citus.enable_metadata_sync is set to true, all the objects
and the metadata is send to the remote node.
We strongly advice that the users never changes the value of
this GUC.
multi_log_hook() hook is called by EmitErrorReport() when emitting the
ereport either to frontend or to the server logs. And some callers of
EmitErrorReport() (e.g.: errfinish()) seems to assume that string fields
of given ErrorData object needs to be freed. For this reason, we copy the
message into heap here.
I don't think we have faced with such a problem before but it seems worth
fixing as it is theoretically possible due to the reasoning above.
Simply applies
```SQL
SELECT textlike(command, citus.grep_remote_commands)
```
And, if returns true, the command is logged. Else, the log is ignored.
When citus.grep_remote_commands is empty string, all commands are
logged.
- [x] Add some more regression test coverage
- [x] Make sure returning works fine in case of
local execution + remote execution
(task->partiallyLocalOrRemote works as expected, already added tests)
- [x] Implement locking properly (and add isolation tests)
- [x] We do #shardcount round-trips on `SerializeNonCommutativeWrites`.
We made it a single round-trip.
- [x] Acquire locks for subselects on the workers & add isolation tests
- [x] Add a GUC to prevent modification from the workers, hence increase the
coordinator-only throughput
- The performance slightly drops (~%15), unless
`citus.allow_modifications_from_workers_to_replicated_tables`
is set to false
Clang 13 complains about a suspicious string concatenation. It thinks we
might have missed a comma. This adds parentheses to make it clear that
concatenation is indeed what we meant.
In the past, we allowed users to manually switch to 1PC
(e.g., one phase commit). However, with this commit, we
don't. All multi-shard modifications are done via 2PC.
With Citus 9.0, we introduced `citus.single_shard_commit_protocol` which
defaults to 2PC.
With this commit, we prevent any user to set it to 1PC and drop support
for `citus.single_shard_commit_protocol`.
Although this might add some overhead for users, it is already the default
behaviour (so less likely) and marking placements as INVALID is much
worse.
Since PG14 we can now use binary encoding for arrays and composite types
that contain user defined types. This was fixed in this commit in
Postgres: 670c0a1d47
This change starts using that knowledge, by not necessarily falling back
to text encoding anymore for those types.
While doing this and testing a bit more I found various cases where
binary encoding would fail that our checks didn't cover. This fixes
those cases and adds tests for those. It also fixes EXPLAIN ANALYZE
never using binary encoding, which was a leftover of workaround that
was not necessary anymore.
Finally, it changes the default for both `citus.enable_binary_protocol`
and `citus.binary_worker_copy_format` to `true` for PG14 and up. In our
cloud offering `binary_worker_copy_format` already was true by default.
`enable_binary_protocol` had some bug with MX and user defined types,
this bug was fixed by the above mentioned fixes.
`tcp_user_timeout` is the awesome relatively unknown big brother of the
TCP keepalive related options. Instead of depending on keepalives being
sent, this determines that a socket is dead by waiting at most N seconds
for an ack of data that it has sent. It's exposed in libpq starting from
PG12.
Before this commit, we always synced the metadata with superuser.
However, that creates various edge cases such as visibility errors
or self distributed deadlocks or complicates user access checks.
Instead, with this commit, we use the current user to sync the metadata.
Note that, `start_metadata_sync_to_node` still requires super user
because accessing certain metadata (like pg_dist_node) always require
superuser (e.g., the current user should be a superuser).
However, metadata syncing operations regarding the distributed
tables can now be done with regular users, as long as the user
is the owner of the table. A table owner can still insert non-sense
metadata, however it'd only affect its own table. So, we cannot do
anything about that.
