We recently introduced a set of patches to 10.2, and introduced 10.2-4
migration version. This migration version only resides on `release-10.2`
branch, and is missing on our default branch. This creates a problem
because we do not have a valid migration path from 10.2 to latest 11.0.
To remedy this issue, I copied the relevant migration files from
`release-10.2` branch, and renamed some of our migration files on
default branch to make sure we have a linear upgrade path.
Before this commit, we required the user to be owner of the shard/table
in order to call lock_shard_resources.
However, that is too restrictive. We can have users with GRANTS
to the table who are not owners of the tables/shards.
With this commit, we allow such patterns.
This change creates a slightly higher abstraction of the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` where it decouples the partitioning from writing it to a file. This allows for easier reuse for other `DestReceiver`'s that would like to route different tuples to different `DestReceiver`'s.
Originally there was a lot of state kept in `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` to be able to lazily create `FileDestReceivers` when the first tuple arrived for that target. This convoluted the implementation of the processing of tuples with where they should go.
This refactor changes that where it makes the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` completely agnostic of what kind of Receivers it is writing to. When constructed you pass it a list of `DestReceiver` compatible pointers with the length of `partitionCount`. Internally the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` keeps track of which `DestReceiver`'s have been started or not, and start them when they first receive a tuple.
Alternatively, if the instantiating code of the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` wants, the startup can be turned from lazily to eagerly. When the startup is eager (not lazy) all `rStartup` functions on the list of `DestReceiver`'s are called during the startup of the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` and marked as such.
A downside of this approach is the following. On highly partitioned destinations we now need to allocate a `FileDestReceiver` for every target, _always_. When the data passed into the `PartitionedResultDestReceiver` is highly skewed to a small set of `FileDestReceiver`'s this will waste some memory. Given the small size of a `FileDestReceiver`, and the fact that actual file handles are only created during the processing of the startup of the `FileDestReceiver` I think this memory waste is not a problem. If this would become a problem we could refactor the source list into some kind of generator object which can generate the `DestReceiver`'s on the fly.

This PR is fixing 2 separate issues related to the local run of citus upgrade tests.
d3e7c825ab fixes the issue that, with our new testing infrastructure, we moved/renamed some of existing folders. This created a problem for local runs of citus upgrade tests since some paths were sensitive to such changes. This commit tries to make it more generic so that this issue is less likely to happen in the future, while also fixing the current issue.
93de6b60c3 we are fixing an issue that a new environment variable was added for citus upgrade tests, which is defined in the CI. 0cb51f8c37/.circleci/config.yml (L294)
This environment variable wasn't set in our local runs hence it would create problems. Instead of defining this environment variable in the local run, we change the citus_upgrade run command to use an existing env variable, which is now also set in the CI.
We fixed some crashes a while back that would only occur in cases where
the value of a distribution column would have result in a high or a very
low hash value. This adds a regression test for those crashes.
This test starts passing because of PR #4508, to be precise commit:
24e60b44a1
When I undo that commit this newly added test starts failing. This adds
this test to make sure we don't regress on this again.
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.
There is a vulnerability in mitmproxy with the version we are using.
It would be hard to exploit anything with regards to the artifacts we ship as its only used in our test suite. Still its good hygiene to _not_ use software with known vulnerabilities.
This PR updates the version of python, mitmproxy and the crypto libraries used.
The latest version of mitmproxy for python 3.6 is not patched, hence the upgrade of python.
For our CI images this cascades into upgrading debian as well :)
For CI we bake these versions in our images so we need to update them as well.
Changes to the CI images: https://github.com/citusdata/the-process/pull/65
It seems like the decision for 2PC is more complicated than
it should be.
With this change, we do one behavioral change. In essense,
before this commit, when a SELECT task with replication factor > 1
is executed, the executor was triggering 2PC. And, in fact,
the transaction manager (`ConnectionModifiedPlacement()`) was
able to understand not to trigger 2PC when no modification happens.
However, for transaction blocks like:
BEGIN;
-- a command that triggers 2PC
-- A SELECT command on replication > 1
..
COMMIT;
The SELECT was used to be qualified as required 2PC. And, as a side-effect
the executor was setting `xactProperties.errorOnAnyFailure = true;`
So, the commands was failing at the time of execution. Now, they fail at
the end of the transaction.
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.
- citus_get_all_dependencies_for_object: emulate what Citus
would qualify as

- citus_get_dependencies_for_object: emulate what Citus would qualify

FROM
(SELECT * FROM pg_get_object_address('table', '{test}', '{}')) as addr

```
To run tests in parallel use:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=4
```
To run tests sequentially use:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=1
```
To run only some configs:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-base CONFIGS=CitusSingleNodeClusterConfig,CitusSmallSharedPoolSizeConfig
```
To run only some test files with some config:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-base CONFIGS=CitusSingleNodeClusterConfig EXTRA_TESTS=dropped_columns_1
```
To get a deterministic run, you can give the random's seed:
```bash
make check-arbitrary-configs parallel=4 seed=12312
```
The `seed` will be in the output of the run.
In our regular regression tests, we can see all the details about either planning or execution but this means
we need to run the same query under different configs/cluster setups again and again, which is not really maintanable.
When we don't care about the internals of how planning/execution is done but the correctness, especially with different configs
this infrastructure can be used.
With `check-arbitrary-configs` target, the following happens:
- a bunch of configs are loaded, which are defined in `config.py`. These configs have different settings such as different shard count, different citus settings, postgres settings, worker amount, or different metadata.
- For each config, a separate data directory is created for tests in `tmp_citus_test` with the config's name.
- For each config, `create_schedule` is run on the coordinator to setup the necessary tables.
- For each config, `sql_schedule` is run. `sql_schedule` is run on the coordinator if it is a non-mx cluster. And if it is mx, it is either run on the coordinator or a random worker.
- Tests results are checked if they match with the expected.
When tests results don't match, you can see the regression diffs in a config's datadir, such as `tmp_citus_tests/dataCitusSingleNodeClusterConfig`.
We also have a PostgresConfig which runs all the test suite with Postgres.
By default configs use regular user, but we have a config to run as a superuser as well.
So the infrastructure tests:
- Postgres vs Citus
- Mx vs Non-Mx
- Superuser vs regular user
- Arbitrary Citus configs
When you want to add a new test, you can add the create statements to `create_schedule` and add the sql queries to `sql_schedule`.
If you are adding Citus UDFs that should be a NO-OP for Postgres, make sure to override the UDFs in `postgres.sql`.
You can add your new config to `config.py`. Make sure to extend either `CitusDefaultClusterConfig` or `CitusMXBaseClusterConfig`.
On the CI, upon a failure, all logfiles will be uploaded as artifacts, so you can check the artifacts tab.
All the regressions will be shown as part of the job on CI.
In your local, you can check the regression diffs in config's datadirs as in `tmp_citus_tests/dataCitusSingleNodeClusterConfig`.

Under high write concurrency, we were sometimes reading columnar
metapage as all zeros.
In `WriteToBlock()`, if `clear == true`, then it will clear the page before
writing the new one, rather than just adding data to the page. That
means any concurrent connection that is holding only a pin will be
able to see the all-zero state between the `InitPage()` and the
`memcpy_s()`.
Moreover, postgres/storage/buffer/README states that:
> Buffer access rules:
>
> 1. To scan a page for tuples, one must hold a pin and either shared or
> exclusive content lock. To examine the commit status (XIDs and status bits)
> of a tuple in a shared buffer, one must likewise hold a pin and either shared
> or exclusive lock.
For those reasons, we have to make sure to never keep a pin on the
page without (at least) the shared lock, to avoid having such problems.
A write operation might trigger index deletion if index already had
dead entries for the key we are about to insert.
There are two ways of index deletion:
a) simple deletion
b) bottom-up deletion (>= pg14)
Since columnar_index_fetch_tuple never sets all_dead to true,
columnarAM doesn't ever expect to receive simple deletion requests
(columnar_index_delete_tuples) as we don't mark any index entries
as dead.
However, since columnarAM doesn't delete any dead entries via simple
deletion, postgres might ask for a more comprehensive deletion
(i.e.: bottom-up) at some point when pg >= 14.
So with this commit, we start gracefully ignoring bottom-up deletion
requests made to columnar_index_delete_tuples.
Given that users can anyway "VACUUM FULL" their columnar tables,
we don't see any problem in ignoring deletion requests.
* Make (columnar.stripe) first_row_number index a unique constraint
Since stripe_first_row_number_idx is required to scan a columnar
table, we need to make sure that it is created before doing anything
with columnar tables during pg upgrades.
However, a plain btree index is not a dependency of a table, so
pg_upgrade cannot guarantee that stripe_first_row_number_idx gets
created when creating columnar.stripe, unless we make it a unique
"constraint".
To do that, drop stripe_first_row_number_idx and create a unique
constraint with the same name to keep the code change at minimum.
* Add more pg upgrade tests for columnar
* Fix a logic error in uprade_columnar_after test

We were trying to find the cause for a strange update bug. We thought
`pg_upgrade` succeeded and then were surprised that certain data was not
in the database after the upgrade. Instead `pg_upgrade` had failed
halfway through with an actionable error. It took us pretty long to
realise this.
This commit adds checking of exit codes to a lot more subprocess
executions. That should make debugging in the future much easier.
BuildStripeMetadata() calls HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin(), which must only
be called on a proper heap tuple with MVCC information. Make sure the
caller passes the heap tuple, and not a datum tuple.
Fixes#5318.
Considering all code-paths that we might interact with a columnar table,
add `CheckCitusVersion` calls to tableAM callbacks:
- initializing table scan (`columnar_beginscan` & `columnar_index_fetch_begin`)
- setting a new filenode for a relation (storage initializiation or a table rewrite)
- truncating the storage
- inserting tuple (single and multi)
Also add `CheckCitusVersion` call to:
- drop hook (`ColumnarTableDropHook`)
- `alter_columnar_table_set` & `alter_columnar_table_reset` UDFs
* Columnar: separate plain and exec quals.
Make a clear separation between plain quals, which contain constants
or extern params; and exec quals, which contain exec params and can't
be evaluated until a rescan.
Fixes#5258.
* more vanilla tests

When performing a partition-wise join, the planner will adjust paths
parameterized by the parent rel to instead parameterize by the child
rel directly. When this reparameterization happens, we also need to
adjust the join quals to reference the child rather than the parent.
Fixes#5257.
Not flush pending writes if given tid belongs to a "flushed" or
"aborted" stripe write, or to an "in-progress" stripe write of
another backend.
That way, we would reduce the cases where we flush single-tuple
stripes during index scan.
To do that, we follow below steps for index look-up's:
- Do not flush any pending writes and do stripe metadata look-up for
given tid.
If tuple with tid is found, then no need to do another look-up
since we already found the tuple without needing to flush pending
writes.
- If tuple is not found without flushing pending writes, then we have two
scenarios:
- If given tid belongs to a pending write of my backend, then do stripe
metadata look-up for given tid. But this time first **flush any pending
writes**.
- Otherwise, just return false from `index_fetch_tuple` since flushing
pending writes wouldn't help.
With 5825c44d5f, we made the changes to
skip aborted writes when scanning a columnar table.
However, looks like we forgot to handle such cases for the very first
call made to columnar_getnextslot. That means, that commit only
considered the intermediate stripe read operations.
However, functions called by columnar_getnextslot to find first stripe
to read (ColumnarBeginRead & ColumnarRescan) were not caring about
those aborted writes.
To fix that, we teach AdvanceStripeRead to find the very first stripe
to read, and then start using it where were blindly calling
FindNextStripeByRowNumber.
Recently there are some warnings during the compilation of Citus.
Part of the warnings come due to the `columnar_tableam.h` header not being properly guarded with defines and ifndef's.
This PR fixes these warnings.
Previously, even when `EXPLAIN` output tells that we will do
index-only scan, it was never the case since columnar tables
don't have the visibility fork that postgres is looking for.
For this reason, visibility check done in
`IndexOnlyNext->VM_ALL_VISIBLE`
code-path was always returning false and postgres was reading
the tuple from the columnar relation itself.
Previously, for regular table scans, we were setting `RelOptInfo->partial_pathlist`
to `NIL` via `set_rel_pathlist_hook` to discard scan `Path`s that need to use any
parallel workers, this was working nicely.
However, when building indexes, this hook doesn't get called so we were not
able to prevent spawning parallel workers when building an index. For this
reason, 9b4dc2f804 added basic
implementation for `columnar_parallelscan_*` callbacks but also made some
changes to skip using those workers when building the index.
However, now that we are doing stripe reservation in two stages, we call
`heap_inplace_update` at some point to complete stripe reservation.
However, postgres throws an error if we call `heap_inplace_update` during
a parallel operation, even if we don't actually make use of those workers.
For this reason, with this pr, we make sure to not generate scan `Path`s that
need to use any parallel workers by using `get_relation_info_hook`.
This is indeed useful to prevent spawning parallel workers during index builds.
If it is certain that we will not use any `parallel_worker`s for a columnar table,
then stripe entries inserted by aborted transactions become visible to
`SnapshotAny` and that causes `REINDEX` to fail by throwing a duplicate key
error.
To fix that:
* consider three states for a stripe write operation:
"flushed", "aborted", or "in-progress",
* make sure to have a clear separation between them, and
* act according to those three states when reading from a columnar table
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.
- get_missing_time_partition_ranges: Gets the ranges of missing partitions for the given table, interval and range unless any existing partition conflicts with calculated missing ranges.
- create_time_partitions: Creates partitions by getting range values from get_missing_time_partition_ranges.
- drop_old_time_partitions: Drops partitions of the table older than given threshold.

In PG 14, procedures can have OUT parameters. In Citus' procedure

to get the outargs parameters.

Simply call Postgres' function to report the progress on
each row recieved.
Note that we currently do not support "COPY dist/ref TO .." progress
report nicely. Citus has some specialized logic to support
"COPY dist/ref TO .." such that it either converts the underlying
command into "COPY (SELECT * FROM dist/ref ) ..." or sends COPY
command to shards directly. In the former case, "tuples_processed"
is only updated when the executor returns all the tuples, so the
progress is not accurate. In the latter case, Citus can actually
implement the progress report. But, for the sake of consistency,
we prefer to not implement at all.
Added to PG 14 with https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8a4f618e7ae3cb11b0b37d0f06f05c8ff905833f
It seems like there is a problem with Postgres14 with SELECT DISTINCT
COUNT. The issue is reported to Postgres and an alternative output is
added. We can remove the alternative output when the issue is fixed on
PG. If this is not an issue on PG(which is unlikely) we should consider
some other solution.
In order to avoid adding an alternative output, a function to check if a
given explan plan has a single task added. This doesn't change what the
changed tests intend to do.
Postgres changed stats expression types as of PG14. Hence we needed to
write the AppendColumnNames method. Also they removed the error on PG
side so we remove it as well.

These changes were removed in commit: Introduces ExecSimpleRelationInsert_compat and modifyStateResultRelInfo macros
We shouldn't have removed them but instead kept them for before PG14
There was a small part in multi_partitioning that would need an
alternative output for pg14. Instead of adding an alternative for the
whole file, we created a new file, called partition_wise_join.sql and
added the alternative output for that.
When we check the exact version of the seg extension, it becomes a
problem when its version changes, such as from 1.3 to 1.4. So now we
modified the changes to check for that the version is the same in all
the cluster.
make_simple_restrictinfo and pull_varnos functions now have a new parameter
These new macros give us the ability to use this new parameter for PG14 and they don't give the parameter for previous versions

fix array_cat_agg for pg upgrades
array_cat_agg now needs to take anycompatiblearray instead of anyarray
because array_cat changed its type from anyarray to anycompatiblearray
with pg14.
To handle upgrades correctly, we drop the aggregate in
citus_pg_prepare_upgrade. To be able to drop it, we first remove the
dependency from pg_depend.
Then we create the right aggregate in citus_finish_pg_upgrade and we
also add the dependency back to pg_depend.
Postgres doesn't accept NULL for queryStrings in explain plans anymore.
Internally, there are some places in Postgres where they modified the
NULLS to ""(the empty string). So we do the same on citus side.

VacOptTernaryValue enum is renamed to VacOptValue.
In the enum there were three values, VACOPT_TERNARY_DEFAULT, VACOPT_TERNARY_DISABLED, and VACOPT_TERNARY_ENABLED
Now there are four values VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED, VACOPTVALUE_AUTO, VACOPTVALUE_DISABLED, and VACOPTVALUE_ENABLED
New macros are VacOptValue_compat, VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED_COMPAT, VACOPTVALUE_DISABLED_COMPAT, and VACOPTVALUE_ENABLED_COMPAT
The VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED_COMPAT matches VACOPT_TERNARY_DEFAULT and VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED. And there are no macro for VACOPTVALUE_AUTO.

Allow ColumnarScans to push down join quals by generating
parameterized paths. This significantly expands the utility of chunk
group filtering, making a ColumnarScan behave similar to an index when
on the inner of a nested loop join.
Also, evaluate all parameters on beginscan/rescan, which also works
for external parameters.
Fixes#4488.
Previously, we were doing `first_row_number` reservation for the first
row written to current `WriteState` but were doing `stripe_id`
reservation when flushing the `WriteState` and were inserting the
related record to `columnar.stripe` at that time as well.
However, inserting `columnar.stripe` record at flush-time is
problematic. This is because, as told in #5160, if relation has
any index-based constraints and if there are two concurrent
writes that are inserting conflicting key values for that constraint,
then postgres relies on `tableAM->fetch_index_tuple`
(=`columnar_fetch_index_tuple`) callback to return `true` when
indexAM is checking against possible constraint violations.
However, pending writes of other backends are not visible to concurrent
sessions in columnar since we were not inserting the stripe metadata
record until flushing the stripe.
With this commit, we split stripe reservation into two phases:
i) Reserve `stripe_id` and insert a "dummy" record to `columnar.stripe`
at the very same time we reserve `first_row_number`, i.e. when writing
the first row to the current `WriteState`.
ii) At flush time, do the storage level allocation and complete the
missing fields of the dummy record inserted into `columnar.stripe`
during i).
That way, any concurrent writes would be able to check against possible
constraint violations by using `SnapshotDirty` when scanning
`columnar.stripe`.
Note that `columnar_fetch_index_tuple` still wouldn't be able to fill
the output tupleslot for the requested tid but it would at least return
`true` for such index look-up's and we believe this should be sufficient
for the caller indexAM callback to make the concurrent writer block on
prior one.
That is how we fix#5160.
Only downside of reserving `stripe_id` at the same time we reserve
`first_row_number` is that now any aborted writes would also waste
some amount of `stripe_id` as in the case of `first_row_number` but
we are just wasting them one-by-one.
Considering the fact that we waste `first_row_number` by the amount
stripe row limit (=150k by default) in such cases, this shouldn't be
important at all.
Before starting to scan a columnar table, we always flush the pending
writes to disk.
However, we increment command counter after modifying metadata tables.
On the other hand, now that we _don't always use_ xact snapshot to scan
a columnar table, writes that we just flushed might not be visible to
the query that just flushed pending writes to disk since curcid of
provided snapshot would become smaller than the command id being used
when modifying metadata tables.
To give an example, before this change, below was a possible scenario
due to the changes that we made to use the correct snapshot.
```sql
CREATE TABLE t(a int, b int) USING columnar;
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO t VALUES (5, 10);
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬───┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼───┤
└───┴───┘
(0 rows)
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬────┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼────┤
│ 5 │ 10 │
└───┴────┘
(1 row)
```
In next commit, we will adjust curcid of the snapshot being used when
scanning the columnar table.
However, for index scan, snapshot is provided not when beginning scan
but within fetch-tuple call.
For this reason, start flushing pending writes in init_columnar_read_state
since this seem to be a prerequisite step that needs to be done before
scanning a columnar table regardless of the scan method being used.
Seems that we always increment the command counter right after
finishing metadata table modification.
For this reason, it makes sense to call CommandCounterIncrement
within FinishModifyRelation.
The logging of the amount of ignored moves crashed when no distributed
tables existed in a cluster. This also fixes in passing that the logging
of ignored moves logs the correct number of ignored moves if there
exist multiple colocation groups and all are rebalanced at the same time.

In our testing infra structure, even though we use pinned versions of postgres, the auxiliary libraries might pull in newer versions. This is for example the case for libpq, which will now use the libpq libraries from 14beta3.
The changes in this PR are a lot due to the libpq changes.
We also have changed the citus version that is used as a base for the citus upgrades, from 10.0 to 10.1 . This caused columnar to enforce some extra limits on the settings, which conflicted with our upgrade tests.
The changes in failure tests are due to the libpq changes.
There are also a lot of changes on isolation tests outputs, hence we
updated all of them.

`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.
* We were anyway not testing reserved_offset in any of those tests
but other fields.
* This only happens with compressed columnar tables and is because the
libzstd/liblz4 versions that we have on exttester ci image might be different
than what we might have on our local environments.
DESCRIPTION: Fix a segfault caused by use after free in ConnectionsPlacementHash
Fix a segfault caused by retaining data in any of the hashmaps making up the Placement Connection Management.
We have seen production systems segfault due to random data referenced from ConnectionPlacementHash.
On investigation we found that the backends segfaulting on this had OOM errors closely prior to the segfault.
It has shown there are at least 15 places where an allocation can OOM that would cause ConnectionPlacementHash to retain pointers to memory from contexts that are subsequently freed. This would reproduce the segfault we have observed in production.
Conditions for these allocations are:
- allocated after first call to `AssociatePlacementWithShard`: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/v10.0.3/src/backend/distributed/connection/placement_connection.c#L880-L881
- allocated before `StartNodeUserDatabaseConnection`: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/v10.0.3/src/backend/distributed/connection/connection_management.c#L291
At least 15 points of memory allocation (which could fail) are between the callsites of both in a primary key lookup on a reference table - where we have seen an OOM cause a segfault moments later.
Instead of leaving any references in ConnectionPlacementHash, ConnectionShardHash and ColocatedPlacementsHash that could retain any pointers that are freed due to the TopTransactionContext being reset we clear all these hashes irregardless of the state of CurrentCoordinatedTransactionState.
Downside is that on any transaction abort we will now iterate through 4 hashmaps and clear their contents. Given that they are either already empty, which should cause a quick iteration, or non-empty, causing segfaults in subsequent executions, this overhead seems reasonable.
A better solution would be to move the creation of these hashmaps so they would live in the TopTransactionContext themself, assuming their contents would never outlive a transaction. This needs more investigation and is an involved refactor Hence fixing this quickly here.
All the callers except columnar_relation_copy_for_cluster were already
switching to right memory context when creating ColumnarReadState.
With this commit, we embed that logic into init_columnar_read_state
to avoid further such bugs.
That way, we start using the right memory context for
columnar_relation_copy_for_cluster too.

In short, add wrappers around Postgres' AddWaitEventToSet() and
ModifyWaitEvent().
AddWaitEventToSet()/ModifyWaitEvent*() may throw hard errors. For
example, when the underlying socket for a connection is closed by
the remote server and already reflected by the OS, however
Citus hasn't had a chance to get this information. In that case,
if replication factor is >1, Citus can failover to other nodes
for executing the query. Even if replication factor = 1, Citus
can give much nicer errors.
So CitusAddWaitEventSetToSet()/CitusModifyWaitEvent() simply puts
AddWaitEventToSet()/ModifyWaitEvent() into a PG_TRY/PG_CATCH block
in order to catch any hard errors, and returns this information to
the caller.
As we use the current user to sync the metadata to the nodes
with #5105 (and many other PRs), there is no reason that
prevents us to use the coordinated transaction for metadata syncing.
This commit also renames few functions to reflect their actual
implementation.
Before this commit, creating a partition after a DROP column
on the parent (position before dist. key) was leading to
partition to have the wrong distribution column.
update_distributed_table_colocation can be called by the relation
owner, and internally it updates pg_dist_partition. With this
commit, update_distributed_table_colocation uses an internal
UDF to access pg_dist_partition.
As a result, this operation can now be done by regular users
on MX.
Instead of setting stripeReadState to NULL, call ColumnarResetRead
before re-scanning a columnar table since this function is already
designed for doing the necessary clean up when finishing a stripe
read.
Note that this change shouldn't have a great effect on memory usage
since AdvanceStripe was already doing the clean-up for all the
stripes except the last one.
Previously, we were only using chunk group reader for sequential scan.
However, to support index scans on columnar tables, now we use very
same low level functions for index scan too.
Since those low-level functions were only used for sequential scan, it
was guaranteed that we would never read the same chunk group more than
once, so we were freeing chunk buffers after deserializing them into a
separate buffer.
Now that we use those low level functions for index scan, we cannot
free chunk buffers since it's possible to read the same chunk group
again, such that:
- read chunk group 1 of stripe 5
- read chunk group 2 of stripe 5
- read chunk group 1 of stripe 5 again
Here, when we decide to read chunk group 1 for a second time,
chunk group 1 is not cached. Plus, before this commit, we were
freeing the chunk buffers for chunk group 1 after the first
read and then we were getting segfault or errors from low-level
de-compression APIs.
* Fix UNION not being pushdown
Postgres optimizes column fields that are not needed in the output. We
were relying on these fields to understand if it is safe to push down a
union query.
This fix looks at the parse query, which has the original column fields
to detect if it is safe to push down a union query.
* Add more tests
* Simplify code and make it more robust
* Process varlevelsup > 0 in FindReferencedTableColumn
* Only look for outers vars in union path
* Add more comments
* Remove UNION ALL specific logic for pulling up childvars
The progress monitor wouldn't actually update the size of the shard on
the target node when using "block_writes" as the `shard_transfer_mode`.
The reason for this is that the CREATE TABLE part of the shard creation
would only be committed once all data was moved as well. This caused
our size calculation to always return 0, since the table did not exist
yet in the session that the progress monitor used.
This is fixed by first committing creation of the table, and only then
starting the actual data copy.
The test output changes slightly. Apparently splitting this up in two
transactions instead of one, increases the table size after the copy by
about 40kB. The additional size used doesn't increase when with the
amount of data in the table is larger (it stays ~40kB per shard). So
this small change in test output is not considered an actual problem.
These two options were not included when creating the sequences on the
workers as part of metadata syncing.
The missing `data_type` part of the definition made finding the cause
of #5126 harder than necessary, because of confusing errors.
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.
With this commit, we add (`CREATE INDEX` / `REINDEX`) `CONCURRENTLY` support for columnar tables.
For that, we implement `columnar_index_validate_scan` callback.
The reasoning behind the implementation is as follows:
* Postgres function `validate_index` provides all the TIDs that are currently in the
index to `columnar_index_validate_scan` callback via a `tupleSort` object..
* We start scanning the table by using `columnar_getnextslot` as usual.
Before moving forward, note that `columnar_getnextslot` guarantees
to return tuples in the order of their TIDs.
* For us to use during table scan, postgres provides a snapshot guaranteeing
that any tuples that are valid according to that snapshot but are not in the
index must be added to the index.
* Then for each tuple that we read from our table, we continue iterating
given `tupleSort` to find the first TID that is greater than or equal to our
tuple's TID.
If both TID's are equal to each other, then we skip the tuple since it's already
indexed.
If the TID that we read from tupleSort is greater then our tuple's TID, then
we decide to insert this tuple into index.
systable_getnext already uses ForwardScanDirection if relation has any
open indexes, but let's be more explicit doing ordered scan on columnar
catalog tables.
This happens only when we have a "<" or "<=" filter on distribution
column of a range distributed table and that filter falls in between
two shards.
When the filter falls in between two shards:
If the filter is ">" or ">=", then UpperShardBoundary was
returning "upperBoundIndex - 1", where upperBoundIndex is
exclusive shard index used during binary seach.
This is expected since upperBoundIndex is an exclusive
index.
If the filter is "<" or "<=", then LowerShardBoundary was
returning "lowerBoundIndex + 1", where lowerBoundIndex is
inclusive shard index used during binary seach.
On the other hand, since lowerBoundIndex is an inclusive
index, we should just return lowerBoundIndex instead of
doing "+ 1". Before this commit, we were missing leftmost
shard in such queries.
* Remove useless conditional branches
The branch that we delete from UpperShardBoundary was obviously useless.
The other one in LowerShardBoundary became useless after we remove "+ 1"
from there.
This indeed is another proof of what & how we are fixing with this pr.

With the previous version of this check we would disallow distributed
tables that did not have a colocationid, to have a foreign key to a
reference table. This fixes that, since there's no reason to disallow
that.
Originally ReplicateShardToNode was meant for
`upgrade_to_reference_table`, which required handling of existing inactive
placements. These days `upgrade_to_reference_table` is deprecated and
cannot be used anymore. Now that we have SHARD_STATE_TO_DELETE too, this
left over code seemed error prone. So this removes support for
activating inactive reference table placemements, since these should not
be possible. If it finds a non active reference table placement anyway
it now errors out.
This also removes a few outdated comments related to `upgrade_to_refeference_table`.
Moving shards of reference tables was possible in at least one case:
```sql
select citus_disable_node('localhost', 9702);
create table r(x int);
select create_reference_table('r');
set citus.replicate_reference_tables_on_activate = off;
select citus_activate_node('localhost', 9702);
select citus_move_shard_placement(102008, 'localhost', 9701, 'localhost', 9702);
```
This would then remove the reference table shard on the source, causing
all kinds of issues. This fixes that by disallowing all shard moves
except for shards of distributed tables.

The first and main issue was that we were putting absolute pointers into
shared memory for the `steps` field of the `ProgressMonitorData`. This
pointer was being overwritten every time a process requested the monitor
steps, which is the only reason why this even worked in the first place.
To quote a part of a relevant stack overflow answer:
> First of all, putting absolute pointers in shared memory segments is
> terrible terible idea - those pointers would only be valid in the
> process that filled in their values. Shared memory segments are not
> guaranteed to attach at the same virtual address in every process.
> On the contrary - they attach where the system deems it possible when
> `shmaddr == NULL` is specified on call to `shmat()`
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10781921/2570866
In this case a race condition occurred when a second process overwrote
the pointer in between the first process its write and read of the steps
field.
This issue is fixed by not storing the pointer in shared memory anymore.
Instead we now calculate it's position every time we need it.
The second race condition I have not been able to trigger, but I found
it while investigating this. This issue was that we published the handle
of the shared memory segment, before we initialized the data in the
steps. This means that during initialization of the data, a call to
`get_rebalance_progress()` could read partial data in an unsynchronized
manner.
With a recent commit, we made (644b266dee)
the behaviour of prepared statements for local cached plans has
slightly changed.
Now, Citus caches the plans when they are re-used. This make triggering
of local cached plans on the 7th execution, and 8th execution is the
first time the plan is used from the cached.
So, the tests are improved to cover 8th execution.
With local query caching, we try to avoid deparse/parse stages as the
operation is too costly.
However, we can do deparse/parse operations once per cached queries, right
before we put the plan into the cache. With that, we avoid edge
cases like (4239) or (5038).
In a sense, we are making the local plan caching behave similar for non-cached
local/remote queries, by forcing to deparse the query once.
A shard move would fail if there was an orphaned version of the shard on
the target node. With this change before actually fail, we try to clean
up orphaned shards to see if that fixes the issue.
Sometimes the background daemon doesn't cleanup orphaned shards quickly
enough. It's useful to have a UDF to trigger this removal when needed.
We already had a UDF like this but it was only used during testing. This
exposes that UDF to users. As a safety measure it cannot be run in a
transaction, because that would cause the background daemon to stop
cleaning up shards while this transaction is running.

We have a slightly different behavior when using truncate_local_data_after_distributing_table UDF on metadata synced clusters. This PR aims to add tests to cover such cases.
We allow distributing tables with data that have foreign keys to reference tables only on metadata synced clusters. This is the reason why some of my earlier tests failed when run on a single node Citus cluster.
InvalidateForeignKeyGraph sends an invalidation via shared memory to all
backends, including the current one.
However, we might not call AcceptInvalidationMessages before reading
from the cache below. It would be better to also add a call to
AcceptInvalidationMessages in IsForeignConstraintRelationshipGraphValid.
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).
The current default citus settings for tests are not really best
practice anymore. However, we keep them because lots of tests depend on
them.
I noticed that I created the same test harness for new tests I added all
the time. This is a simple script that generates that harness, given a
name for the test.
To run:
src/test/regress/bin/create_test.py my_awesome_test
To be able to report progress of the rebalancer, the rebalancer updates
the state of a shard move in a shared memory segment. To then fetch the
progress, `get_rebalance_progress` can be called which reads this shared
memory.
Without this change it did so without using any synchronization
primitives, allowing for data races. This fixes that by using atomic
operations to update and read from the parts of the shared memory that
can be changed after initialization.
