DESCRIPTION: Presenting citus_pause_node UDF enabling pausing by
node_id.
citus_pause_node takes a node_id parameter and fetches all the shards in
that node and puts AccessExclusiveLock on all the shards inside that
node. With this lock, insert is disabled, until citus_pause_node
transaction is closed.

This commit is the second and last phase of dropping PG13 support.
It consists of the following:
- Removes all PG_VERSION_13 & PG_VERSION_14 from codepaths
- Removes pg_version_compat entries and columnar_version_compat entries
specific for PG13
- Removes alternative pg13 test outputs
- Removes PG13 normalize lines and fix the test outputs based on that

* Currently we do not allow any Citus tables other than Citus local
tables inside a regular schema before executing
`citus_schema_distribute`.
* `citus_schema_undistribute` expects only single shard distributed
tables inside a tenant schema.
DESCRIPTION: Adds the udf `citus_schema_distribute` to convert a regular
schema into a tenant schema.

DESCRIPTION: Adds citus.enable_schema_based_sharding GUC that allows
sharding the database based on schemas when enabled.
* Refactor the logic that automatically creates Citus managed tables
* Refactor CreateSingleShardTable() to allow specifying colocation id
instead
* Add support for schema-based-sharding via a GUC
### What this PR is about:
Add **citus.enable_schema_based_sharding GUC** to enable schema-based
sharding. Each schema created while this GUC is ON will be considered
as a tenant schema. Later on, regardless of whether the GUC is ON or
OFF, any table created in a tenant schema will be converted to a
single shard distributed table (without a shard key). All the tenant
tables that belong to a particular schema will be co-located with each
other and will have a shard count of 1.
We introduce a new metadata table --pg_dist_tenant_schema-- to do the
bookkeeping for tenant schemas:
```sql
psql> \d pg_dist_tenant_schema
Table "pg_catalog.pg_dist_tenant_schema"
┌───────────────┬─────────┬───────────┬──────────┬─────────┐
│ Column │ Type │ Collation │ Nullable │ Default │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────────┼──────────┼─────────┤
│ schemaid │ oid │ │ not null │ │
│ colocationid │ integer │ │ not null │ │
└───────────────┴─────────┴───────────┴──────────┴─────────┘
Indexes:
"pg_dist_tenant_schema_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (schemaid)
"pg_dist_tenant_schema_unique_colocationid_index" UNIQUE, btree (colocationid)
psql> table pg_dist_tenant_schema;
┌───────────┬───────────────┐
│ schemaid │ colocationid │
├───────────┼───────────────┤
│ 41963 │ 91 │
│ 41962 │ 90 │
└───────────┴───────────────┘
(2 rows)
```
Colocation id column of pg_dist_tenant_schema can never be NULL even
for the tenant schemas that don't have a tenant table yet. This is
because, we assign colocation ids to tenant schemas as soon as they
are created. That way, we can keep associating tenant schemas with
particular colocation groups even if all the tenant tables of a tenant
schema are dropped and recreated later on.
When a tenant schema is dropped, we delete the corresponding row from
pg_dist_tenant_schema. In that case, we delete the corresponding
colocation group from pg_dist_colocation as well.
### Future work for 12.0 release:
We're building schema-based sharding on top of the infrastructure that
adds support for creating distributed tables without a shard key
(https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6867).
However, not all the operations that can be done on distributed tables
without a shard key necessarily make sense (in the same way) in the
context of schema-based sharding. For example, we need to think about
what happens if user attempts altering schema of a tenant table. We
will tackle such scenarios in a future PR.
We will also add a new UDF --citus.schema_tenant_set() or such-- to
allow users to use an existing schema as a tenant schema, and another
one --citus.schema_tenant_unset() or such-- to stop using a schema as
a tenant schema in future PRs.
Previously INSERT .. SELECT planner were pushing down some queries that should not be pushed down due to wrong colocation checks. It was checking whether one of the table in SELECT part and target table are colocated. But now, we check colocation for all tables in SELECT part and the target table.
Another problem with INSERT .. SELECT planner was that some queries, which is valid to be pushed down, were not pushed down due to unnecessary checks which are currently supported. e.g. UNION check. As solution, we reused the pushdown planner checks for INSERT .. SELECT planner.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that causes incorrectly pushing down some
INSERT .. SELECT queries that we shouldn't
DESCRIPTION: Prevents unnecessarily pulling the data into coordinator
for some INSERT .. SELECT queries
DESCRIPTION: Drops support for pushing down INSERT .. SELECT with append
table as target

We mark objects as distributed objects in Citus metadata only if we need
to propagate given the command that creates it to worker nodes. For this
reason, we were not doing this for the objects that are created while
pg_dist_node is empty.
One implication of doing so is that we defer the schema propagation to
the time when user creates the first distributed table in the schema.
However, this doesn't help for schema-based sharding (#6866) because we
want to sync pg_dist_tenant_schema to the worker nodes even for empty
schemas too.
* Support test dependencies for isolation tests without a schedule
* Comment out a test due to a known issue (#6901)
* Also, reduce the verbosity for some log messages and make some
tests compatible with run_test.py.
Sometimes isolation_non_blocking_shard_split would fail like this:
```diff

The reason is that replication slots have now become part of
pg_dist_cleanup too, and sometimes they cannot be cleaned up right away.
This is harmless as they will be cleaned up eventually. So this simply
filters out the replication slots for those tests.
DESCRIPTION: Fix foreign key validation skip at the end of shard move
In eadc88a we started completely skipping foreign key constraint
validation at the end of a non blocking shard move, instead of only for
foreign keys to reference tables. However, it turns out that this didn't
work at all because of a hard to notice bug: By resetting the
SkipConstraintValidation flag at the end of our utility hook, we
actually make the SET command that sets it a no-op.
This fixes that bug by removing the code that resets it. This is fine
because #6543 removed the only place where we set the flag in C code. So
the resetting of the flag has no purpose anymore. This PR also adds a
regression test, because it turned out we didn't have any otherwise we
would have caught that the feature was completely broken.
It also moves the constraint validation skipping to the utility hook.
The reason is that #6550 showed us that this is the better place to skip
it, because it will also skip the planning phase and not just the
execution.
The original implementation of GPIDs didn't work correctly when using
`pg_dist_poolinfo` together with PgBouncer. The reason is that it
assumed that once a connection was made to a worker, the originating
GPID should stay the same for ever. But when pg_dist_poolinfo is used
this isn't the case, because the same connection on the worker might be
used by different backends of the coordinator.
This fixes that issue by updating the GPID whenever a new application
name is set on a connection. This is the only thing that's needed,
because PgBouncer already sets the application name correctly on the
server connection whenever a client is updated.
DESCRIPTION: Drop `SHARD_STATE_TO_DELETE` and use the cleanup records
instead
Drops the shard state that is used to mark shards as orphaned. Now we
insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup` so "orphaned" shards will
be dropped either by maintenance daemon or internal cleanup calls. With
this PR, we make the "cleanup orphaned shards" functions to be no-op, as
they would not be needed anymore.
This PR includes some naming changes about placement functions. We don't
need functions that filter orphaned shards, as there will be no orphaned
shards anymore.
We will also be introducing a small script with this PR, for users with
orphaned shards. We'll basically delete the orphaned shard entries from
`pg_dist_placement` and insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup`
for each one of them, during Citus upgrade.
We also have a lot of flakiness fixes in this PR.

Sometimes our `isolation_insert_vs_vacuum` test would fail like this.
```diff
step s2-vacuum-analyze:
VACUUM ANALYZE test_insert_vacuum;
-
+ <waiting ...>
step s1-commit:
COMMIT;
+step s2-vacuum-analyze: <... completed>
```
The reason seems to be that VACUUM ANALYZE tries to take some locks that
conflict with the other transaction, but these locks somehow get
released or VACUUM ANALYZE stops waiting for them. This is somewhat
expected since VACUUM has some special locking logic.
To solve the flakyness we now trigger VACUUM ANALYZE to always report as
blocking and after that we wait explicitly wait for it to complete. This
is done
like is suggested by the flaky test tips from postgres:
c68a183990/src/test/isolation/README (L152)
I've confirmed that this fixes the issue suing our flaky-test-debugging
CI workflow.
DESCRIPTION: Extend cleanup process for replication artifacts
This PR adds new cleanup record types for:
* Subscriptions
* Replication slots
* Publications
* Users created for subscriptions
We add records for these object types, to `pg_dist_cleanup` during
creation phase. Once the operation is done, in case of success or
failure, we iterate those records and drop the objects. With this PR we
will not be dropping any of these objects during the operation. In
short, we will always be deferring the drop.
One thing that's worth mentioning is that we sort cleanup records before
processing (dropping) them, because of dependency relations among those
objects, e.g a subscription might depend on a publication. Therefore, we
always drop subscriptions before publications.
We have some renames in this PR:
* `TryDropOrphanedShards` -> `TryDropOrphanedResources`
* `DropOrphanedShardsForCleanup` -> `DropOrphanedResourcesForCleanup`
* `run_try_drop_marked_shards` -> `run_try_drop_marked_resources`
as these functions now process replication artifacts as well.
This PR drops function `DropAllLogicalReplicationLeftovers` and its all
usages, since now we rely on the deferring drop mechanism.
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_split
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_move
Drop GUCs and related parts from the code.
Delete tests that specifically added for the GUCs.
Keep tests that can be used without the GUCs.
Update test output changes.
The motivation for this PR is to have an "always deferring" mechanism.
These two GUCs provide an option to not deferring dropping objects
during a shard move/split, and dropping them immediately. With this PR,
we will be always deferring dropping orphaned shards and other types of
objects.
We will have a separate PR to extend the deferred cleanup operation, so
that we would create records for deferred drop, for Subscriptions,
Publications, Replication Slots etc. This will make us be able to keep
track of created objects that needs to be dropped, during a shard
move/split. We will have objects created specifically for the current
operation; and those objects will be dropped at the end.
We have an issue (a draft roadmap) for enabling parallel shard moves.
For details please see: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6437
To be able to test non-blocking shard moves we take an advisory lock, so
we can pause the shard move at an interesting moment. Originally this
was during the logical replication catch up phase. But when I added
tests for the rebalancer progress I moved this lock before the initial
data copy. This allowed testing of the rebalance progress, but
inadvertently made our non-blocking tests not actually test if we held
unintended locks during logical replication catch up.
This fixes that by creating two types of advisory locks, one before the
copy and one after. This causes the tests to actually test their
intended scenario again.
Furthermore it starts using one of these locks for blocking shard moves
too. Which allowed me to reduce the complexity of the rebalance progress
test suite quite a bit. It also allowed enabling some flaky tests again,
because this stopped them from being flaky. And finally it allowed
testing of rebalance progress for blocking shard copy operations as
well.
In passing it fixes a flaky test during parallel blocking shard moves by
ordering the output.
DESCRIPTION: Adds status column to get_rebalance_progress()
Introduces a new column named `status` for the function
`get_rebalance_progress()`. For each ongoing shard move, this column
will reveal information about that shard move operation's current
status.
For now, candidate status messages could be one of the below.
* Not Started
* Setting Up
* Copying Data
* Catching Up
* Creating Constraints
* Final Catchup
* Creating Foreign Keys
* Completing
* Completed
Sometimes our CI randomly fails on a test in a way similar to this:
```diff
step s2-drop:
DROP TABLE cancel_table;
-
+ <waiting ...>
+step s2-drop: <... completed>
starting permutation: s1-timeout s1-begin s1-sleep10000 s1-rollback s1-reset s1-drop

I tried to fix that already in #6252 by disabling the maintenance daemon
during isolation tests. But it seems that hasn't fixed all cases of
these errors. This is another attempt at fixing these issues that seems
to have better results.
What it does is that it starts using the pInterestingPids parameter that
citus_isolation_test_session_is_blocked receives. With this change we
start filter out block-edges that are not caused by any of these pids.
In passing this change also makes it possible to run
`isolation_create_distributed_table_concurrently` with
`check-isolation-base`
DESCRIPTION: Adds source_lsn and target_lsn fields into
get_rebalance_progress
Adding two fields named `source_lsn` and `target_lsn` to the function
`get_rebalance_progress`.
Target lsn data is fetched in `GetShardStatistics`, by expanding the
query sent to workers (joining with pg_subscription_rel and
pg_stat_subscription). Then put into the hashmap, for each shard.
Source lsn data is fetched in `BuildWorkerShardStatististicsHash`, in
the loop that iterate each node, by sending a pg_current_wal_lsn query
to each node. Then put into the hashmap, for each node.
On our CI our isolation_shard_rebalancer_progress would sometimes
randomly fail like this:
```diff

The shard sizes would be slightly larger or smaller than expected. This
fixes this by fixing the output to the nearest expected shard size. To
do so I used a trick described in this stack overflow answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/33147437/2570866

This random failure happens, because the two parallel moves can complete
at the same time. So, it's non-deterministic which one finishes first. To

This happened in two of the tests only. For now I commented these tests

The PR introduces code changes to fix Issue
[6303](https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6303)
`create_distributed_table_concurrently` following drop column, creates a
buggy situation in split decoder.
* Consider the below scenario:
* Session1 : Drop column followed by
create_distributed_table_concurrently
* Session2 : Concurrent insert workload
The child shards created by `create_distributed_table_concurrently` will
have less columns than the source shard because some column were
dropped. The incoming tuple from session2 will have more columns as the
writes happened on source shard. But now the tuple needs to be applied
on child shard. So we need to format existing tuple according to child
schema and skip dropped column values.
The PR fixes this by reformatting the tuple according the target child
schema.
Test:
1) isolation_create_distributed_concurrently_after_drop_column - Repros
the issue and tests on the same.
DESCRIPTION: Show citus_copy_shard_placement progress in
get_rebalance_progress
When rebalancing to a new node that does not have reference tables yet
the rebalancer will first copy the reference tables to the nodes.
Depending on the size of the reference tables, this might take a long
time. However, there's no indication of what's happening at this stage
of the rebalance.
This PR improves this situation by also showing the progress of any
citus_copy_shard_placement calls when calling get_rebalance_progress.
DESCRIPTION: Add a rebalancer that uses background tasks for its
execution
Based on the baclground jobs and tasks introduced in #6296 we implement
a new rebalancer on top of the primitives of background execution. This
allows the user to initiate a rebalance and let Citus execute the long
running steps in the background until completion.
Users can invoke the new background rebalancer with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_start();`. It will output information on its job id and
how to track progress. Also it returns its job id for automation
purposes. If you simply want to wait till the rebalance is done you can
use `SELECT citus_rebalance_wait();`
A running rebalance can be canelled/stopped with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_stop();`.
DESCRIPTION:
This PR adds support for 'Deferred Drop' and robust 'Shard Cleanup' for Splits.
Common Infrastructure
This PR introduces new common infrastructure so as any operation that wants robust cleanup of resources can register with the cleaner and have the resources cleaned appropriately based on a specified policy. 'Shard Split' is the first consumer using this new infrastructure.
Note : We only support adding 'shards' as resources to be cleaned-up right now but the framework will be extended to support other resources in future.
Deferred Drop for Split
Deferred Drop Support ensures that shards undergoing split are not dropped inline as part of operation but dropped later when no active read queries are running on shard. This helps with :
Avoids any potential deadlock scenarios that can cause long running Split operation to rollback.
Avoids Split operation blocking writes and then getting blocked (due to running queries on the shard) when trying to drop shards.
Deferred drop is the new default behavior going forward.
Shard Cleaner Extension
Shard Cleaner is a background task responsible for deferred drops in case of 'Move' operations.
The cleaner has been extended to ensure robust cleanup of shards (dummy shards and split children) in case of a failure based on the new infrastructure mentioned above. The cleaner also handles deferred drop for 'Splits'.
TESTING:
New test ''citus_split_shard_by_split_points_deferred_drop' to test deferred drop support.
New test 'failure_split_cleanup' to test shard cleanup with failures in different stages.
Update 'isolation_blocking_shard_split and isolation_non_blocking_shard_split' for deferred drop.
Added non-deferred drop version of existing tests : 'citus_split_shard_no_deferred_drop' and 'citus_non_blocking_splits_no_deferred_drop'
Sometimes in CI our isolation_citus_dist_activity test fails randomly
like this:

I intended to fix this with #6263, but the fix turned out to be
insufficient. This PR tries to address the issue by setting
distributedCommandOriginator correctly in more situations. However, even
with this change it's still possible to reproduce the flaky test in CI.
In any case this should fix at least some instances of this issue.
In passing this changes the isolation_citus_dist_activity test to allow
running it multiple times in a row.
Added create_distributed_table_concurrently which is nonblocking variant of create_distributed_table.
It bases on the split API which takes advantage of logical replication to support nonblocking split operations.

Our isolation_distributed_deadlock_detection test would fail randomly in
CI in three different ways.
The first type of failure looked like this:
```diff
check_distributed_deadlocks
---------------------------
t
(1 row)
-step s1-update-5: <... completed>
step s5-update-1: <... completed>
ERROR: canceling the transaction since it was involved in a distributed deadlock
+step s1-update-5: <... completed>
step s1-commit:
```
Source: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/26399/workflows/d213ee85-397a-467a-9ffb-39e4f44e6688/jobs/749533
This random change in output was harmless and happened because when the
deadlock detector cancelled a query, two queries would continue: The one
that was cancelled would throw an error (and thus complete), and the one
that was unblocked would now complete.
It was random which of the two the isolation tester would first detect
as completed. To resolve this PR starts using the ["marker" feature][1],
this allows us to make sure one of the steps won't be marked as
completed until the other one completed first.
The second random failure was very similar:
```diff
check_distributed_deadlocks
---------------------------
t
(1 row)
-step s2-update-2: <... completed>
-step s3-update-3: <... completed>
-ERROR: canceling the transaction since it was involved in a distributed deadlock
step s6-commit:
COMMIT;
step s5-update-6: <... completed>
+step s2-update-2: <... completed>
+step s3-update-3: <... completed>
+ERROR: canceling the transaction since it was involved in a distributed deadlock
step s5-commit:
```
Again a harmless difference in test output. In this case it's possible
that the deadlock detector would not detect the unblocked processes
right away, and would thus continue with to the next step. This step was
a commit on a session that was not blocked, and which thus could
complete without issues.
To solve this I changed the order of the commits at the end of the
permutation, to always have the first session that would commit be the
session that would be unblocked the last. This ensures that no commit
will ever be executed before completing all the queries.
The third issue was different and looked like this:
```diff
step s4-update-5: <... completed>
step s4-commit:
COMMIT;
+step s1-update-4: <... completed>
+isolationtester: canceling step s3-update-4 after 5 seconds
step s3-update-4: <... completed>
+ERROR: canceling statement due to user request
+step s2-update-2: <... completed>
step s3-commit:
COMMIT;
-step s2-update-2: <... completed>
-step s1-update-4: <... completed>
step s1-commit:
```

The reason for this failure is not entirely clear to me, but I was able
to remove the flakyness without impacting the goal of the test. What was
happening was that both `s1` and `s3` were waiting for `s4` to commit
and release it's lock on the row 4. For some reason it wasn't
deterministic which of the two sessions would be granted the lock after
it was released by row 4. The test expected `s3` to be granted the lock,
but sometimes it would be granted to `s1` instead. Which would in turn
cause `s3` to still be blocked.
To solve this I simply removed `s1` completely from this test. It wasn't
actually part of the cycle that the deadlock detector should detect and
was an unrelated appendage:
```mermaid
graph TD;
s2-->s3;
s3-->s4;
s1-->s4;
s4-->s5;
s5-->s6;
s6-->s5;
```
By removing `s1` completely there was no contention for the lock and
`s3` could always acquire it.

The isolation_tenant_isolation_nonblocking test would sometimes randomly
fail in CI, because we have a limit of runtime limit of 2 minutes per test.
```
test isolation_tenant_isolation_nonblocking ... make: *** [Makefile:171: check-enterprise-isolation] Terminated
Too long with no output (exceeded 2m0s): context deadline exceeded
```
One solution would obviously be to increase the timeout, but instead I
spent some time to increase the speed of our tests by tweaking some
timings. On my local machine the time it took to run the
isolation_tenant_isolation_nonblocking test went from 75s to 15s.
So now we should easily stay within the 2 minute per test limit.
I also checked if the new settings improved other logical replication
tests, but the impect differs wildly per test. One other example of a
test that runs much quicker due to the change is
isolation_non_blocking_shard_split_fkey. But the shard move tests I
tried are impacted much less.
Example of failed tests: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/26373/workflows/4fa660e4-63c8-4844-bef8-70a7bea902b7/jobs/748199
Using binary encoding can save a lot of CPU cycles, both on the sender
and on the receiver. Since the walsender and walreceiver processes are
single threaded, this can matter a lot for the throughput if they are
bottlenecked on CPU.
This feature is only available in PG14, not PG13. It should be safe to
always enable because it's only used for types that support binary
encoding according to the PG docs:
> Even when this option is enabled, only data types that have binary
> send and receive functions will be transferred in binary.
But in case it causes problems, it can still be disabled by setting
`citus.enable_binary_protocol` to `false`.
* Adjust some isolation test for the recent PG commits
In 3f32395612,
Postgres starts any isolation session with `set application_name`.
However, one of the tests we had expected that it is exactly the first
command in the session. The test tries to show that even if a gpid
has not been assigned, we can show it in the citus_lock_waits graph.
Now that, it is literally not possible to have such test as gpid
would be assigned after `set application_name` command. Still,
it is good to have a test where a command is blocked on the parser
As shown in #6196 the output of s1-view-locks is sometimes not as
expected. However, because it's output is very minimal it's hard to
understand the reason for that. This adds some more columns and
aggregates less, so we can more easily see what locks are unexpectedly
held or released.
In passing this also fixes the following flaky part of this test by excluding
locks taken by the maintenance daemon. After running it with this more
detailed output for s1-view-locks it became obvious that that was the
problem here.

We're in the processes of totally changing the shard rebalancer
experience and infrastructure. Soon the shard rebalancer will include
retries, crash recovery and support for running in the background.
These improvements come at a cost though, the way the
get_rebalance_progress UDF currently works is very hard to replicate
with this new structure. This is mostly because the old behaviour
doesn't really make sense anymore with this new infrastructure. A new
and better way to track the progress will be included as part of the new
infrastructure.
This PR is in preparation of the new code rebalancer experience.
It changes the get_rebalance_progress UDF to only display the moves that
are in progress at the moment, not the ones that happened in the past or
that are planned in the future. Another option would have been to
completely remove the current get_rebalance_progress functionality and
point people to the new way of tracking progress. But old blogposts
still reference the old UDF and users might have some automation on top
of it. Showing the progress of the current moves is fairly simple to
achieve, even with the new infrastructure.
So this PR is a kind of compromise: It doesn't have complete feature
parity with the old get_rebalance_progress, but the most common use
cases will still work.
There's also an advantage of the change: You can now see progress of
shard moves that were triggered by calling citus_move_shard_placement
manually. Instead of only being able to see progress of moves that were
initiated using get_rebalance_table_shards.
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.
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.
