We have memory leak during distribution of a table with a lot of
partitions as we do not release memory at ExprContext until all
partitions are not distributed. We improved 2 things to resolve the
issue:
1. We create and delete MemoryContext for each call to
`CreateDistributedTable` by partitions,
2. We rebuild the cache after we insert all the placements instead of
each placement for a shard.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak during distribution of a table with a lot
of partitions and shards.
Fixes https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6572.
When auto_explain module is loaded and configured, EXPLAIN will be
implicitly run for all the supported commands. Postgres does not support
`EXPLAIN` for `ALTER` command. However, auto_explain will try to
`EXPLAIN` other supported commands internally triggered by `ALTER`.
For instance,
`ALTER TABLE target_table ADD CONSTRAINT fkey_167 FOREIGN KEY (col_1)
REFERENCES ref_table(key) ... `
command may trigger a SELECT command in the following form for foreign
key validation purpose:
`SELECT fk.col_1 FROM ONLY target_table fk LEFT OUTER JOIN ONLY
ref_table pk ON ( pk.key OPERATOR(pg_catalog.=) fk.col_1) WHERE pk.key
IS NULL AND (fk.col_1 IS NOT NULL) `
For Citus tables, the Citus utility hook should ensure that constraint
validation is skipped for shell tables but they are done for shard
tables. The reason behind this design choice can be summed up as:
- An ALTER TABLE command via coordinator node is run in a distributed
transaction.
- Citus does not support nested distributed transactions.
- A SELECT query on a distributed table (aka shell table) is also run in
a distributed transaction.
- Therefore, Citus does not support running a SELECT query on a shell
table while an ALTER TABLE command is running.
With
eadc88a800
a bug is introduced breaking the skip constraint validation behaviour of
Citus. With this change, we see that validation queries on distributed
tables are triggered within `ALTER` command adding constraints with
validation check. This regression did not cause an issue for regular use
cases since the citus executor hook blocks those queries heuristically
when there is an ALTER TABLE command in progress.
The issue is surfaced as a crash (#6424 Workers, when configured to use
auto_explain, crash during distributed transactions.) when auto_explain
is enabled. This is due to auto_explain trying to execute the SELECT
queries in a nested distributed transaction.
Now since the regression with constraint validation is fixed in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6543, we should be able to
remove the workaround.
We should not omit to free PGResult when we receive single tuple result
from an internal backend.
Single tuple results are normally freed by our ReceiveResults for
`tupleDescriptor != NULL` flow but not for those with `tupleDescriptor
== NULL`. See PR #6722 for details.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak issue with query results that returns
single row.
Prevents memory leak during ConvertTable call for a table with a lot of
partitions.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak during undistribution and alteration of a
table with a lot of partitions.
In #6314 I refactored the connection cleanup to be simpler to
understand and use. However, by doing so I introduced a use-after-free
possibility (that valgrind luckily picked up):
In the `ShouldShutdownConnection` path of
`AfterXactHostConnectionHandling`
we free connections without removing the `transactionNode` from the
dlist that it might be part of. Before the refactoring this wasn't a
problem, because the dlist would be completely reset quickly after in
`ResetGlobalVariables` (without reading or writing the dlist entries).
The refactoring changed this by moving the `dlist_delete` call to
`ResetRemoteTransaction`, which in turn was called in the
`!ShouldShutdownConnection` path of `AfterXactHostConnectionHandling`.
Thus this `!ShouldShutdownConnection` path would now delete from the
`dlist`, but the `ShouldShutdownConnection` path would not. Thus to
remove itself the deleting path would sometimes update nodes in the list
that were freed right before.
There's two ways of fixing this:
1. Call `dlist_delete` from **both** of paths.
2. Call `dlist_delete` from **neither** of the paths.
This commit implements the second approach, and #6684 implements the
first. We need to choose which approach we prefer.
To make calling `dlist_delete` from both paths actually work, we also need
to use a slightly different check to determine if we need to call dlist_delete.
Various regression tests showed that there can be cases where the
`transactionState` is something else than `REMOTE_TRANS_NOT_STARTED`
but the connection was not added to the `InProgressTransactions` list
One example of such a case is when running `TransactionStateMachine`
without calling `StartRemoteTransactionBegin` beforehand. In those
cases the connection won't be added to `InProgressTransactions`, but
the `transactionState` is changed to `REMOTE_TRANS_SENT_COMMAND`.
Sidenote: This bug already existed in 11.1, but valgrind didn't catch it
back then. My guess is that this happened because #6314 was merged after
the initial release branch was cut.
Fixes#6638
If there is a problem with an ongoing rebalance, we did not show details
on background tasks that are stuck in runnable state. Similar to how we
show details for errored tasks, we now show details on tasks that are
being retried.
Earlier we showed the following output when a task was stuck:
```
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ { ↵│
│ "tasks": [ ↵│
│ ], ↵│
│ "task_state_counts": {↵│
│ "done": 13, ↵│
│ "blocked": 2, ↵│
│ "runnable": 1 ↵│
│ } ↵│
│ } │
└────────────────────────────┘
```
Now we show details like the following:
```
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| {
| "tasks": [
| {
| "state": "runnable",
| "command": "SELECT pg_catalog.citus_move_shard_placement(1
| "message": "ERROR: Moving shards to a node that shouldn't
| "retried": 2,
| "task_id": 3
| }
| ],
| "task_state_counts": {
| "blocked": 1,
| "runnable": 1
| }
| }
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
```
DESCRIPTION: Fix background rebalance when reference table has no PK
For the background rebalance we would always fail if a reference table
that was not replicated to all nodes would not have a PK (or replica
identity). Even when we used force_logical or block_writes as the shard
transfer mode. This fixes that and adds some regression tests.
Fixes#6680
We should disallow dropping table_name option if foreign table is in
metadata. Otherwise, we get table not found error which contains
shardid.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes an unexpected foreign table error by disallowing to drop the table_name option.
Fixes#6663
Fixes#6570.
In the past, having columnar tables in the cluster was causing pg
upgrades to fail when attempting to access columnar metadata. This is
because, pg_dump doesn't see objects that we use for columnar-am related
booking as the dependencies of the tables using columnar-am.
To fix that; in #5456, we inserted some "normal dependency" edges (from
those objects to columnar-am) into pg_depend.
This helped us ensuring the existency of a class of metadata objects
--such as columnar.storageid_seq-- and helped fixing #5437.
However, the normal-dependency edges that we added for indexes on
columnar metadata tables --such columnar.stripe_pkey-- didn't help at
all because they were indeed causing dependency loops (#5510) and
pg_dump was not able to take those dependency edges into the account.
For this reason, instead of inserting such dependency edges from indexes
to columnar-am, we allow columnar metadata accessors to fall-back to
sequential scan during pg upgrades.
Recursive planner should handle all the tree from bottom to top at
single pass. i.e. It should have already recursively planned all
required parts in its first pass. Otherwise, this means we have bug at
recursive planner, which needs to be handled. We add a check here and
return error.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes wrong results by throwing error in case recursive
planner multipass the query.
We found 3 different cases which causes recursive planner passes the
query multiple times.
1. Sublink in WHERE clause is planned at second pass after we
recursively planned a distributed table at the first pass. Fixed by PR
#6657.
2. Local-distributed joins are recursively planned at both the first and
the second pass. Issue #6659.
3. Some parts of the query is considered to be noncolocated at the
second pass as we do not generate attribute equivalances between
nondistributed and distributed tables. Issue #6653
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.
We should do the sublink conversations at the end of the recursive
planning because earlier steps might have transformed the query into a
shape that needs recursively planning the sublinks.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes early sublink check at recursive planner.

heap_modify_tuple() fetches values[i] if replace[i] is set true,
regardless of the fact that whether isnull[i] is true or false. So
similar to replace[], let's init values[] & isnull[] too.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes an uninitialized memory access in
create_distributed_function()
This change allows creating a constraint without a name using an index.
The index name will be used as the constraint name the same way postgres
handles it.
Fixes issue #6644
This commit also cleans up some leftovers from nameless constraint checks.
With this commit, we now fully support adding all nameless constraints
directly to a table.

Adds NOT VALID option to deparser. When we need to deparse:
"ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY ... NOT VALID"
"ALTER TABLE ADD CHECK ... NOT VALID"
NOT VALID option should be propagated to workers.
Fixes issue #6646
This commit also uses AppendColumnNameList function
instead of repeated code blocks in two appropriate places
in the "ALTER TABLE" deparser.
If an update query on a reference table has a returns clause with a
subquery that accesses some other local table, we end-up with an crash.
This commit prevents the crash, but does not prevent other error
messages from happening due to Citus not being able to pushdown the
results of that subquery in a valid SQL command.

DESCRIPTION: Fix regression in allowed foreign keys on distributed
tables
In commit eadc88a we changed how we skip foreign key validation. The
goal was to skip it in more cases. However, one change had the
unintended regression of introducing failures when trying to create
certain foreign keys. This reverts that part of the change.
The way of skipping validation of foreign keys that was introduced in
eadc88a was skipping validation during execution. The reason that
this caused this regression was because some foreign key validation
queries already fail during planning. In those cases it never gets to
the execution step where it would later be skipped.
Fixes#6543
DESCRIPTION: Enable adding FOREIGN KEY constraints on Citus tables
without a name
This PR enables adding a foreign key to a distributed/reference/Citus
local table without specifying the name of the constraint, e.g. `ALTER
TABLE items ADD FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users (id);`
This implements the phase - II of MERGE sql support
Support routable query where all the tables in the merge-sql are distributed, co-located, and both the source and
target relations are joined on the distribution column with a constant qual. This should be a Citus single-task
query. Below is an example.
SELECT create_distributed_table('t1', 'id');
SELECT create_distributed_table('s1', 'id', colocate_with => ‘t1’);
MERGE INTO t1
USING s1 ON t1.id = s1.id AND t1.id = 100
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET val = s1.val + 10
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, val, src) VALUES (s1.id, s1.val, s1.src)
Basically, MERGE checks to see if
There are a minimum of two distributed tables (source and a target).
All the distributed tables are indeed colocated.
MERGE relations are joined on the distribution column
MERGE .. USING .. ON target.dist_key = source.dist_key
The query should touch only a single shard i.e. JOIN AND with a constant qual
MERGE .. USING .. ON target.dist_key = source.dist_key AND target.dist_key = <>
If any of the conditions are not met, it raises an exception.
citus_job_list() lists all background jobs by simply showing the records
in pg_dist_background_job.
citus_job_status(job_id bigint, raw boolean default false) shows the
status of a single background job by appending a jsonb details column to
the associated row from pg_dist_background_job. If the raw argument is
set, machine readable sizes are used instead of human readable
alternatives.
citus_rebalance_status(raw boolean default false) shows the status of
the last rebalance operation. If the raw argument is set, machine
readable sizes are used instead of human readable alternatives.
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: Enable adding CHECK constraints on distributed tables
without the client having to provide a constraint name.
This PR enables the following command syntax for adding check
constraints to distributed tables.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CHECK ...
by creating a default constraint name and transforming the command into
the below syntax before sending it to workers.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT \<conname> CHECK ...
Table Constraints UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY and EXCLUDE may have option
DEFERRABLE in their command syntax. This PR handles the option when
deparsing the relevant constraint statements.
NOT DEFERRABLE
and
INITIALLY IMMEDIATE (if DEFERRABLE}
are the default values for the option so we only append the non-default
values to the alter table statement.
In #6412 I made a change to not re-assign the global PID if it was
already set. This inadvertently introduced a regression where `userId`
and `databaseId` would not be set on the backend data when the global
PID was assigned in the authentication hook.
This fixes it by doing two things:
1. Removing `userId` from `BackendData`, since it's not used anywhere
anyway.
2. Move assignment of `databaseId` to dedicated
`SetBackendDataDatabaseId` function, that isn't a no-op when global
pid is already set.
Since #6412 is not released yet this does not need a description.
In #6598 it was noticed that Citus could generate syntactically invalid
statements during logical replication. With #6603 we resolved the direct
issue, by only generating valid subscription names. But there was also
the underlying problem that we did not escape certain identifier
strings. While in theory this should be okay since we should only
generate names that are valid, this issue reiterated that we should not
take this for granted. As an extra line of defense this quotes all
identifiers we use during logical replication setup.
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for creating table constraints UNIQUE and
EXCLUDE via ALTER TABLE command without client having to specify a name.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT <conname> UNIQUE ...
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT <conname> EXCLUDE ...
commands require the client to provide an explicit constraint name.
However, in postgres it is possible for clients not to provide a name
and let the postgres generate it using the following commands
ALTER TABLE ... ADD UNIQUE ...
ALTER TABLE ... ADD EXCLUDE ...
This PR enables the same functionality for citus tables.
