Some small parts of citus currently require superuser privileges; which
is obviously not desirable for production scenarios. Run these small
parts under superuser privileges (we use the extension owner) to avoid
that.
This does not yet coordinate grants between master and workers. Thus it
allows to create shards, load data, and run queries as a non-superuser,
but it is not easily possible to allow differentiated accesses to
several users.
All citusdb references in
- extension, binary names
- file headers
- all configuration name prefixes
- error/warning messages
- some functions names
- regression tests
are changed to be citus.
