By running isolation tests in parallel we're just asking for flaky
tasks. The first test might temporarily block one of the commands in the
second test, which we then detect as waiting like this:
```diff
step s2-vacuum-analyze:
VACUUM ANALYZE test_insert_vacuum;
-
+ <waiting ...>
step s1-commit:
COMMIT;
+step s2-vacuum-analyze: <... completed>
```
Debugging flaky tests is also much harder when they are run in parallel.
This PR starts running all our isolation tests sequentially.
The reason for opening this PR was me seeing this failing test:
https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/26194/workflows/ff57e2cf-8ac4-40fe-bc0c-74a7f8fecb53/jobs/740454
As well as having fixed a similar issue recently in #6122
(cherry picked from commit 85305b2773)
This fixes our most commonly randomly failing failure test. The failing
diff is as follows:
```diff
SELECT citus.mitmproxy('conn.onQuery(query="fetch_intermediate_results").kill()');
mitmproxy
-----------
(1 row)
INSERT INTO target_table SELECT * FROM source_table;
-ERROR: connection to the remote node localhost:xxxxx failed with the following error: connection not open
+ERROR: could not open file "base/pgsql_job_cache/10_0_40/repartitioned_results_20770193413_from_4213590_to_1.data": No such file or directory
+CONTEXT: while executing command on localhost:9060
+while executing command on localhost:57637
SELECT * FROM target_table ORDER BY a;
```
As far as I can tell this is the cause of a race condition: After killing
fetch_intermediate_results on worker 9060, the previously created data
file gets cleaned up. The fetch_intermediate_results call that's sent
to worker 57637 will be cancelled and rolled back soon because of the
failure on the other connection. But if that fetch_intermediate_results
call is able to connect to 9060 before it is cancelled, it won't find
the file it's looking for there anymore. So while it's not the error we
expect, it does indicate that we succeeded.
To avoid this issue instead of killing the fetch_intermediate_results
call directly, we kill the COPY command that it uses to do the fetch.
This results in stable output as can be seen here, where 227 runs of
failure_insert_select_repartition succeeded:
https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/26168/workflows/9c64a3b6-f46c-4725-9fb4-8f6a2d00a023/jobs/739389
To be clear this changes the test to affects the opposite
fetch_intermediate_results call. This kills the fetch_intermediate_results
call of worker 57637, instead of killing the fetch_intermediate_results call
on worker 9060.

We used to rely on a seperate session to add the coordinator.
However, that might prevent the existing sessions to get
assigned proper gpids, which causes flaky tests.
(cherry picked from commit 961fcff5db)
This removes a flaky test that I introduced in #3868 after I fixed the
issue described in #3622. This test is sometimes fails randomly in CI.
The way it fails indicates that there might be some bug: A connection
breaks after rolling back to a savepoint.
I tried reproducing this issue locally, but I wasn't able to. I don't
understand what causes the failure.
Things that I tried were:
1. Running the test with:
```sql
SET citus.force_max_query_parallelization = true;
```
2. Running the test with:
```sql
SET citus.max_adaptive_executor_pool_size = 1;
```
3. Running the test in parallel with the same tests that it is run in
parallel with in multi_schedule.
None of these allowed me to reproduce the issue locally.
So I think it's time to give on fixing this test and simply remove the
test. The regression that this test protects against seems very unlikely
to reappear, since in #3868 I also added a big comment about the need
for the newly added `UnclaimConnection` call. So, I think the need for
the test is quite small, and removing it will make our CI less flaky.
In case the cause of the bug ever gets found, I tracked the bug in #6189
Example of a failing CI run:
https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/26098/workflows/f84741d9-13b1-4ae7-9155-c21ed3466951/jobs/736424
For reference the unexpected diff is this (so both warnings and an error):
```diff
INSERT INTO t SELECT i FROM generate_series(1, 100) i;
+WARNING: connection to the remote node localhost:57638 failed with the following error:
+WARNING:
+CONTEXT: while executing command on localhost:57638
+ERROR: connection to the remote node localhost:57638 failed with the following error:
ROLLBACK;
```
This test is also mentioned as the most failing regression test in #5975
(cherry picked from commit d16b458e2a)
This creates consistent test output for isolation tests that involve
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`. `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` is sometimes
temporarily detected as blocking, even though it will complete without any other
queries needing to be run. This change makes sure that we wait until that happens
without running any other queries in the meantime. This way we always get consistent
output. The way we do that is addressed by using an empty step in the same
session as the `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENLTY` command. Doing so forces
the isolation tester to wait until the command is finished and not continue with
steps from other sessions. This is [the recommended approach by Postgres][1].
There's two separate cases which are addressed in slightly different ways:
1. If `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` is actually blocked on another session: Add an
empty step right after the commit of blocking session.
e.g. `"s2-ddl-create-index-concurrently" "s1-commit" "s2-empty"`
2. If it's not actually blocked on another session: Add [an asterisk marker][2] to make
it look like it's blocked (because sometimes this happens randomly) and right
after that we add an empty step to trigger waiting.
e.g. `"s2-ddl-create-index-concurrently"(*) "s2-empty" "s1-commit"`
In passing this also enables isolation tests that were disabled due to a
bug that has already been fixed for a while.

This is a continuation of a refactor (with commit sha
2b7cf0c097) that aimed to use Citus helper
UDFs by default in iso tests.
PostgreSQL isolation test infrastructure uses some UDFs to detect
whether concurrent sessions block each other. Citus implements
alternatives to that UDF so that we are able to detect and report
distributed transactions that get blocked on the worker nodes as well.
We needed to explicitly replace PG helper functions with Citus
implementations in each isolation file. Now we replace them by default.

Since #6300/e29db74 changed the C symbol that our bigint overrides of
pg_cancel_backend and pg_terminate_backend called. We needed to do
something to continue to make these functions work after downgrading.
Recreating the old definition with a downgrade scripts is not really
possible, since people are expected to run the downgrade steps when
using the new .so file, which does not contain the old symbols.
So, the easiest way to solve it was also defining the new symbols in our
old Citus versions. Luckily our overrides haven't existed for long, so
these symbol definitions only needed to be backported to 11.0.

DESCRIPTION: Fix reference table lock contention
Dropping and creating reference tables unintentionally blocked on each other due to the use of an ExclusiveLock for both the Drop and conditionally copying existing reference tables to (new) nodes.
The patch does the following:
- Lower lock lever for dropping (reference) tables to `ShareLock` so they don't self conflict
- Treat reference tables and distributed tables equally and acquire the colocation lock when dropping any table that is in a colocation group
- Perform the precondition check for copying reference tables twice, first time with a lower lock that doesn't conflict with anything. Could have been a NoLock, however, in preparation for dropping a colocation group, it is an `AccessShareLock`
During normal operation the first check will always pass and we don't have to escalate that lock. Making it that we won't be blocked on adding and remove reference tables. Only after a node addition the first `create_reference_table` will still need to acquire an `ExclusiveLock` on the colocation group to perform the copy.
There are 3 different ways that a sequence can be interacting
with tables. (1) and (2) are already supported. This commit adds
support for (3).
(1) column DEFAULT nextval('seq'):
The dependency is roughly like below,
and ExpandCitusSupportedTypes() is responsible
for finding the depending sequences.
schema <--- table <--- column <---- default value
^ |
|------------------ sequence <--------|
(2) serial columns: Bigserial/small serial etc:
The dependency is roughly like below,
and ExpandCitusSupportedTypes() is responsible
for finding the depending sequences.
schema <--- table <--- column <---- default value
^ |
| |
sequence <--------|
(3) Sequence OWNED BY table.column: Added support for
this type of resolution in this commit.
The dependency is almost like the following, and
ExpandCitusSupportedTypes() is NOT responsible for finding
the dependency.
schema <--- table <--- column
^

For some reason search_path is not always set correctly on the worker
when calling a distributed function, this shows up when calling
`insert_document` in our distributed_triggers test. The underlying
reason is currently unknown and warrants deeper investigation.
Currently this test is one of the main causes for random CI failures. So
this change sets the search_path of each function explicitly, to reduce
these failures. So other devs can be more efficient, while I continue
investigating the root cause of this issue.
Also changes explicit `SET citus.enable_unsafe_triggers = false` to
`RESET citus.enable_unsafe_triggers` in passing.

Reported bug #5803 shows that we are currently not sending the IN clause to our planner for columnar. This PR fixes it by checking for ScalarArrayOpExpr in ExtractPushdownClause so that we do not skip it. Also added a test case for this new addition.
It turns out that create_distributed_table
and citus_move/copy_shard_placement does not
work well concurrently.
To fix that, we need to acquire a lock, which
sounds like a good use of colocation lock.
However, the current usage of colocation lock is
limited to higher level UDFs like rebalance_table_shards
etc. Those usage of lock is still useful, but
we cannot acquire the same lock on citus_move_shard_placement
etc. because the coordinator connects to itself to acquire
the lock. Hence, the high level UDF blocks itself.
To fix that, we use one more colocation lock, with the placements
are the main objects to consider.

Before this commit, we required multiple copies of the
same stringInfo if we needed to append/prepend data to
the stringInfo. Now, we optionally get prefix/postfix.
For large string operations, this can save up to %10
memory.

Previously, CreateFixPartitionShardIndexNames() created all
the relevant query strings for all the shards, and executed
the large query string. And, in terms of the memory consumption,
this huge command (and its ExprContext generated while running
the command) is the main bottleneck/
With this change, we are reducing the total amount of memory
usage to almost 1/shard_count.
On my local machine, a distributed partitioned table with 120 partitions,
each 32 shards, the total memory consumption reduced from ~3GB
to ~0.1GB. And, the total execution time increased from ~28 seconds
to ~30 seconds. This seems like a good trade-off.
(cherry picked from commit b8008999dc)
DESCRIPTION:
Fix Bug #4949 where Blocking shard moves fails if there is a foreign key between partitioned distributed tables (from child to parent). This is because we try to create constraints before attaching child partitions to parent. This causes constraint failure as parent table will be empty. Fix is to reverse the order i.e. attach partitions before we create constraints.
TESTING:
Added a new test 'shard_move_constraints_blocking' inspired for existing 'shard_move_constraints' where we trigger shard move with 'block_writes' instead of 'force_logical' to add coverage for this scenario.
