* Require superuser while activating a node
With this change, we require ActiveNode() (hence citus_add_node(),
citus_activate_node()) explicitly require for a superuser.
Before this commit, these functions were designed to work with
non-superuser roles with the relevent GRANTs given.
However, that is not a widely used way for calling the functions
above.
Due to possibility of non-super user calling the UDFs, they were
designed in a way that some commands were using some additional
short-lived superuser connections. That is:
(a) breaking transactional behavior (e.g., ROLLBACK
wouldn't fully rollback the whole transaction)
(b) Making it very complicated to reason about which
parts of the node activation goes over which connections,
and becoming vulnerable to deadlocks / visibility issues.
We prefer the background daemon to only sync node metadata. That's
why we move placement metadata changes from disable node to
activate node. With that, we can make sure that disable node
only changes node metadata, whereas activate node syncs all
the metadata changes. In essence, we already expect all
nodes to be up when a node is activated. So, this does not change
the behavior much.
Before this commit, Citus was triggering metadata syncing
in the background when a function is distributed. However,
with Citus 11, we expect all clusters to have metadata synced
enabled. So, we do not expect any nodes not to have the metadata.
This change:
(a) pro: simplifies the code and opens up possibilities
to simplify futher by reducing the scope of
bg worker to only sync node metadata
(b) pro: explicitly asks users to sync the metadata such that
any unforseen impact can be easily detected
(c) con: For distributed functions without distribution
argument, we do not necessarily require the metadata
sycned. However, for completeness and simplicity, we
do so.
As of master branch, Citus does all the modifications to replicated tables
(e.g., reference tables and distributed tables with replication factor > 1),
via 2PC and avoids any shardstate=3. As a side-effect of those changes,
handling node failures for replicated tables change.
With this PR, when one (or multiple) node failures happen, the users would
see query errors on modifications. If the problem is intermitant, that's OK,
once the node failure(s) recover by themselves, the modification queries would
succeed. If the node failure(s) are permenant, the users should call
`SELECT citus_disable_node(...)` to disable the node. As soon as the node is
disabled, modification would start to succeed. However, now the old node gets
behind. It means that, when the node is up again, the placements should be
re-created on the node. First, use `SELECT citus_activate_node()`. Then, use
`SELECT replicate_table_shards(...)` to replicate the missing placements on
the re-activated node.
With this commit, we make sure to use a dedicated connection per
node for all the metadata operations within the same transaction.
This is needed because the same metadata (e.g., metadata includes
the distributed table on the workers) can be modified accross
multiple connections.
With this connection we guarantee that there is a single metadata connection.
But note that this connection can be used for any other operation.
In other words, this connection is not only reserved for metadata
operations.
The checks for preventing to remove a node are very much reference
table centric. We are soon going to add the same checks for replicated
tables. So, make the checks generic such that:
(a) replicated tables fit naturally
(b) we can the same checks in `citus_disable_node`.

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.
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).
DESCRIPTION: introduce `citus.local_hostname` GUC for connections to the current node
Citus once in a while needs to connect to itself for some systems operations. This used to be hardcoded to `localhost`. The hardcoded hostname causes some issues, for example in environments where `sslmode=verify-full` is required. It is not always desirable or even feasible to get `localhost` as an alt name on the certificate.
By introducing a GUC to use when connecting to the current instance the user has more control what network path is used and what hostname is required to be present in the server certificate.
With #4338, the executor is smart enough to failover to
local node if there is not enough space in max_connections
for remote connections.
For COPY, the logic is different. With #4034, we made COPY
work with the adaptive connection management slightly
differently. The cause of the difference is that COPY doesn't
know which placements are going to be accessed hence requires
to get connections up-front.
Similarly, COPY decides to use local execution up-front.
With this commit, we change the logic for COPY on local nodes:
Try to reserve a connection to local host. This logic follows
the same logic (e.g., citus.local_shared_pool_size) as the
executor because COPY also relies on TryToIncrementSharedConnectionCounter().
If reservation to local node fails, switch to local execution
Apart from this, if local execution is disabled, we follow the
exact same logic for multi-node Citus. It means that if we are
out of the connection, we'd give an error.
