We used to error out if the join clause includes filters like
t1.a < t2.a even if other filter like t1.key = t2.key exists.
Recently we lifted that restriction in subquery planning by
not lifting that restriction and focusing on equivalance classes
provided by postgres.
This checkin forwards previously erroring out real-time queries
due to join clauses to subquery planner and let it handle the
join even if the query does not have a subquery.
We are now pushing down queries that do not have any
subqueries in it. Error message looked misleading, changed to a more descriptive one.
We were creating intermediate query result's target
names from subquery target list. Now we also check
if cte re-defines its column name aliases, and create
intermediate result query accordingly.
The macro we were using to detect strtoull isn't set on Windows, and
just in case there are differences use a portable function from PG
instead of calling strtoull directly.
This commit introduces a new GUC to limit the intermediate
result size which we handle when we use read_intermediate_result
function for CTEs and complex subqueries.
With this commit, Citus recursively plans subqueries that
are not safe to pushdown, in other words, requires a merge
step.
The algorithm is simple: Recursively traverse the query from bottom
up (i.e., bottom meaning the leaf queries). On each level, check
whether the query is safe to pushdown (or a single repartition
subquery). If the answer is yes, do not touch that subquery. If the
answer is no, plan the subquery seperately (i.e., create a subPlan
for it) and replace the subquery with a call to
`read_intermediate_results(planId, subPlanId)`. During the the
execution, run the subPlans first, and make them avaliable to the
next query executions.
Some of the queries hat this change allows us:
* Subqueries with LIMIT
* Subqueries with GROUP BY/DISTINCT on non-partition keys
* Subqueries involving re-partition joins, router queries
* Mixed usage of subqueries and CTEs (i.e., use CTEs in
subqueries as well). Nested subqueries as long as we
support the subquery inside the nested subquery.
* Subqueries with local tables (i.e., those subqueries
has the limitation that they have to be leaf subqueries)
* VIEWs on the distributed tables just works (i.e., the
limitations mentioned below still applies to views)
Some of the queries that is still NOT supported:
* Corrolated subqueries that are not safe to pushdown
* Window function on non-partition keys
* Recursively planned subqueries or CTEs on the outer
side of an outer join
* Only recursively planned subqueries and CTEs in the FROM
(i.e., not any distributed tables in the FROM) and subqueries
in WHERE clause
* Subquery joins that are not on the partition columns (i.e., each
subquery is individually joined on partition keys but not the upper
level subquery.)
* Any limitation that logical planner applies such as aggregate
distincts (except for count) when GROUP BY is on non-partition key,
or array_agg with ORDER BY
