These set of tests has changed in both PG 11 and PG 12.
The changes are only about CTE inlining kicking in both
versions, and yielding the exact same distributed planning.
DESCRIPTION: Expression in reference join
Fixed: #2582
This patch allows arbitrary expressions in the join clause when joining to a reference table. An example of such joins could be found in CHbenCHmark queries 7, 8, 9 and 11; `mod((s_w_id * s_i_id),10000) = su_suppkey` and `ascii(substr(c_state,1,1)) = n2.n_nationkey`. Since the join is on a reference table these queries are able to be pushed down to the workers.
To implement these queries we will widen the `IsJoinClause` predicate to not check if the expressions are a type `Var` after stripping the implicit coerciens. Instead we define a join clause when the `Var`'s in a clause come from more than 1 table.
This allows more clauses to pass into the logical planner's `MultiNodeTree(...)` planning function. To compensate for this we tighten down the `LocalJoin`, `SinglePartitionJoin` and `DualPartitionJoin` to check for direct column references when planning. This allows the planner to work with arbitrary join expressions on reference tables.
Previously we checked if an operator is in pg_catalog, and if it wasn't we prefixed it with namespace in worker queries. This can have a huge impact on performance of physical planner when using custom data types.
This happened regardless of current search_path config, because Citus overrides the search path in get_query_def_extended(). When we do so, the check for existence of the operator in current search path in generate_operator_name() fails for any operators outside pg_catalog. This means that nothing gets cached, and in the following calls we will again recheck the system tables for existence of the operators, which took an additional 40-50ms for some of the usecases we were seeing.
In this change we skip the pg_catalog check, and always prefix the operator with its namespace.
* Change worker_hash_partition_table() such that the
divergence between Citus planner's hashing and
worker_hash_partition_table() becomes the same.
* Rename single partitioning to single range partitioning.
* Add single hash repartitioning. Basically, logical planner
treats single hash and range partitioning almost equally.
Physical planner, on the other hand, treats single hash and
dual hash repartitioning almost equally (except for JoinPruning).
* Add a new GUC to enable this feature
