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.
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`
It seems like our approach is way too restrictive and some places
are wrong. Now, we follow very similar approach to pg_stat_activity.
Some of the changes are pre-requsite for implementing citus_dist_stat_activity
via citus_stat_activity.
Currently in mx isolation tests the setup is the same except the creation of tables. Isolation framework lets us define multiple `setup` stages, therefore I thought that we can put the `mx_setup` to one file and prepend this prior to running tests.
How the structure works:
- cpp is used before running isolation tests to preprocess spec files. This way we can include any file we want to. Currently this is used to include mx common part.
- spec files are put to `/build/specs` for clear separation between generated files and template files
- a symbolic link is created for `/expected` in `build/expected/`.
- when running isolation tests, as the `inputdir`, `build` is passed so it runs the spec files from `build/specs` and checks the expected output from `build/expected`.
`/specs` is renamed as `/spec` because postgres first look at the `specs` file under current directory, so this is renamed to avoid that since we are running the isolation tests from `build/specs` now.
Note: now we use `//` instead of `#` in comments in spec files, because cpp interprets `#` as a directive and it ignores `//`.
