Comment from the code is clear on this:
/*
* The statistics objects of the distributed table are not relevant
* for the distributed planning, so we can override it.
*
* Normally, we should not need this. However, the combination of
* Postgres commit 269b532aef55a579ae02a3e8e8df14101570dfd9 and
* Citus function AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning()
* forces us to do this. The commit expects statistics objects
* of partitions to have "inh" flag set properly. Whereas, the
* function overrides "inh" flag. To avoid Postgres to throw error,
* we override statlist such that Postgres does not try to process
* any statistics objects during the standard_planner() on the
* coordinator. In the end, we do not need the standard_planner()
* on the coordinator to generate an optimized plan. We call
* into standard_planner() for other purposes, such as generating the
* relationRestrictionContext here.
*
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is a hack that we use
* to prevent Postgres' standard_planner() to expand all the partitions
* for the distributed planning when a distributed partitioned table
* is queried. It is required for both correctness and performance
* reasons. Although we can eliminate the use of the function for
* the correctness (e.g., make sure that rest of the planner can handle
* partitions), it's performance implication is hard to avoid. Certain
* planning logic of Citus (such as router or query pushdown) relies
* heavily on the relationRestrictionList. If
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is removed, all the
* partitions show up in the, causing high planning times for
* such queries.

* 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
Ignore orphaned shards in more places
Only use active shard placements in RouterInsertTaskList
Use IncludingOrphanedPlacements in some more places
Fix comment
Add tests
The name and comment of this function did not indicate that it only
really could detect locally accessible citus local tables. This fixes
that, while also cleaning up the function a bit.
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.
It seems that we need to consider only pseudo constants while doing some
shortcuts in planning. For example there could be a false clause but it
can contribute to the result in which case it will not be a pseudo
constant.
It seems that there are only very few cases where that is useful, and
for now we prefer not having that check. This means that we might
perform some unnecessary checks, but that should be rare and not
performance critical.
Baseinfo also has pushed down filters etc, so it makes more sense to use
BaseRestrictInfo to determine what columns have constant equality
filters.
Also RteIdentity is used for removing conversion candidates instead of
rteIndex.
It seems that most of the updates were broken, we weren't aware of it
because there wasn't any data in the tables. They are broken mostly
because local tables do not have a shard id and some code paths should
be updated with that information, currently when there is an invalid
shard id, it is assumed to be pruned.
Consider local tables in router planner
In case there is a local table, the shard id will not be valid and there
are some checks that rely on shard id, we should skip these in case of
local tables, which is handled with a dummy placement.
Add citus local table dist table join tests
add local-dist table mixed joins tests
AllDataLocallyAccessible and ContainsLocalTableSubqueryJoin are removed.
We can possibly remove ModifiesLocalTableWithRemoteCitusLocalTable as
well. Though this removal has a side effect that now when all the data
is locally available, we could still wrap a relation into a subquery, I
guess that should be resolved in the router planner itself.
Add more tests
The previous algorithm was not consistent and it could convert different
RTEs based on the table orders in the query. Now we convert local tables
if there is a distributed table which doesn't have a unique index. So if
there are 4 tables, local1, local2, dist1, dist2_with_pkey then we will
convert local1 and local2 in `auto` mode. Converting a distributed table
is not that logical because as there is a distributed table without a
unique index, we will need to convert the local tables anyway. So
converting the distributed table with pkey is redundant.
We should not recursively plan an already routable plannable query. An
example of this is (SELECT * FROM local JOIN (SELECT * FROM dist) d1
USING(a));
So we let the recursive planner do all of its work and at the end we
convert the final query to to handle unsupported joins. While doing each
conversion, we check if it is router plannable, if so we stop.
Only consider range table entries that are in jointree
If a range table is not in jointree then there is no point in
considering that because we are trying to convert range table entries to
subqueries for join use case.
Check equality in quals
We want to recursively plan distributed tables only if they have an
equality filter on a unique column. So '>' and '<' operators will not
trigger recursive planning of distributed tables in local-distributed
table joins.
Recursively plan distributed table only if the filter is constant
If the filter is not a constant then the join might return multiple rows
and there is a chance that the distributed table will return huge data.
Hence if the filter is not constant we choose to recursively plan the
local table.
When doing local-distributed table joins we convert one of them to
subquery. The current policy is that we convert distributed tables to
subquery if it has a unique index on a column that has unique
index(primary key also has a unique index).
The name of the function is different than the implemantation. Because
the function is designed to only consider SELECT queries. Also this
changes the assert with an error.
When a relation is used on an OUTER JOIN with FALSE filters,
set_rel_pathlist_hook may not be called for the table.
There might be other cases as well, so do not rely on the hook
for classification of the tables.
Multi-row & router INSERT's were crashing with local execution if at
least one of the DEFAULT columns were not specified in VALUES list.
This was because, the changes we make on query->values_lists and
query->targetList was sufficient for deparsing given INSERT for remote
execution but not sufficient for local execution.
With this commit, DEFAULT value normalization for multi-row & router
INSERT's is fixed by adding dummy column references for unspecified
DEFAULT columns.
We currently do not support volatile functions in update/delete statements
because the function evaluation logic does not know how to distinguish
volatile functions (that need to be evaluated per row) from stable functions
(that need to be evaluated per query), and it is also not safe to push the
volatile functions down on replicated tables.
Introduce table entry utility functions
Citus table cache entry utilities are introduced so that we can easily
extend existing functionality with minimum changes, specifically changes
to these functions. For example IsNonDistributedTableCacheEntry can be
extended for citus local tables without the need to scan the whole
codebase and update each relevant part.
* Introduce utility functions to find the type of tables
A table type can be a reference table, a hash/range/append distributed
table. Utility methods are created so that we don't have to worry about
how a table is considered as a reference table etc. This also makes it
easy to extend the table types.
* Add IsCitusTableType utilities
* Rename IsCacheEntryCitusTableType -> IsCitusTableTypeCacheEntry
* Change citus table types in some checks
create_distributed_function(function_name,
distribution_arg_name,
colocate_with text)
This UDF did not allow colocate_with parameters when there were no
disttribution_arg_name supplied. This commit changes the behaviour to
allow missing distribution_arg_name parameters when the function should
be colocated with a reference table.
RemoveCoordinatorPlacement does not do what it says. It removes the
coordinator placement only if there are other placements, so it is not a
single node, and only if the coordinator has a placement.
