* Remove unused executor codes
All of the codes of real-time executor. Some functions
in router executor still remains there because there
are common functions. We'll move them to accurate places
in the follow-up commits.
* Move GUCs to transaction mngnt and remove unused struct
* Update test output
* Get rid of references of real-time executor from code
* Warn if real-time executor is picked
* Remove lots of unused connection codes
* Removed unused code for connection restrictions
Real-time and router executors cannot handle re-using of the existing
connections within a transaction block.
Adaptive executor and COPY can re-use the connections. So, there is no
reason to keep the code around for applying the restrictions in the
placement connection logic.
When a function is marked as colocated with a distributed table,
we try delegating queries of kind "SELECT func(...)" to workers.
We currently only support this simple form, and don't delegate
forms like "SELECT f1(...), f2(...)", "SELECT f1(...) FROM ...",
or function calls inside transactions.
As a side effect, we also fix the transactional semantics of DO blocks.
Previously we didn't consider a DO block a multi-statement transaction.
Now we do.

/*
* local_executor.c
*
* The scope of the local execution is locally executing the queries on the
* shards. In other words, local execution does not deal with any local tables
* that are not shards on the node that the query is being executed. In that sense,
* the local executor is only triggered if the node has both the metadata and the
* shards (e.g., only Citus MX worker nodes).
*
* The goal of the local execution is to skip the unnecessary network round-trip
* happening on the node itself. Instead, identify the locally executable tasks and
* simply call PostgreSQL's planner and executor.
*
* The local executor is an extension of the adaptive executor. So, the executor uses
* adaptive executor's custom scan nodes.
*
* One thing to note that Citus MX is only supported with replication factor = 1, so
* keep that in mind while continuing the comments below.
*
* On the high level, there are 3 slightly different ways of utilizing local execution:
*
* (1) Execution of local single shard queries of a distributed table
*
* This is the simplest case. The executor kicks at the start of the adaptive
* executor, and since the query is only a single task the execution finishes
* without going to the network at all.
*
* Even if there is a transaction block (or recursively planned CTEs), as long
* as the queries hit the shards on the same, the local execution will kick in.
*
* (2) Execution of local single queries and remote multi-shard queries
*
* The rule is simple. If a transaction block starts with a local query execution,
* all the other queries in the same transaction block that touch any local shard
* have to use the local execution. Although this sounds restrictive, we prefer to
* implement in this way, otherwise we'd end-up with as complex scenarious as we
* have in the connection managements due to foreign keys.
*
* See the following example:
* BEGIN;
* -- assume that the query is executed locally
* SELECT count(*) FROM test WHERE key = 1;
*
* -- at this point, all the shards that reside on the
* -- node is executed locally one-by-one. After those finishes
* -- the remaining tasks are handled by adaptive executor
* SELECT count(*) FROM test;
*
*
* (3) Modifications of reference tables
*
* Modifications to reference tables have to be executed on all nodes. So, after the
* local execution, the adaptive executor keeps continuing the execution on the other
* nodes.
*
* Note that for read-only queries, after the local execution, there is no need to
* kick in adaptive executor.
*
* There are also few limitations/trade-offs that is worth mentioning. First, the
* local execution on multiple shards might be slow because the execution has to
* happen one task at a time (e.g., no parallelism). Second, if a transaction
* block/CTE starts with a multi-shard command, we do not use local query execution
* since local execution is sequential. Basically, we do not want to lose parallelism
* across local tasks by switching to local execution. Third, the local execution
* currently only supports queries. In other words, any utility commands like TRUNCATE,
* fails if the command is executed after a local execution inside a transaction block.
* Forth, the local execution cannot be mixed with the executors other than adaptive,
* namely task-tracker, real-time and router executors. Finally, related with the
* previous item, COPY command cannot be mixed with local execution in a transaction.
* The implication of that any part of INSERT..SELECT via coordinator cannot happen
* via the local execution.

Adds support for propagation of SET LOCAL commands to all workers
involved in a query. For now, SET SESSION (i.e. plain SET) is not
supported whatsoever, though this code is intended as somewhat of a
base for implementing such support in the future.
As SET LOCAL modifications are scoped to the body of a BEGIN/END xact
block, queries wishing to use SET LOCAL propagation must be within such
a block. In addition, subsequent modifications after e.g. any SAVEPOINT
or ROLLBACK statements will correspondingly push or pop variable mod-
ifications onto an internal stack such that the behavior of changed
values across the cluster will be identical to such behavior on e.g.
single-node PostgreSQL (or equivalently, what values are visible to
the end user by running SHOW on such variables on the coordinator).
If nodes enter the set of participants at some point after SET LOCAL
modifications (or SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK, etc.) have occurred, the SET
variable state is eagerly propagated to them upon their entrance (this
is identical to, and indeed just augments, the existing logic for the
propagation of the SAVEPOINT "stack").
A new GUC (citus.propagate_set_commands) has been added to control this
behavior. Though the code suggests the valid settings are 'none', 'local',
'session', and 'all', only 'none' (the default) and 'local' are presently
implemented: attempting to use other values will result in an error.
Errors thrown in the COMMIT handler will cause Postgres to segfault,
there's nothing it can do it abort the transaction by the time that
handler is called!
RemoveIntermediateResultsDirectory is problematic for two reasons:
- It has calls to ereport(ERROR which have been known to trigger
- It makes memory allocations which raise ERRORs when they fail
Once the COMMIT process has begun we don't use the intermediate results,
so it's safe to remove them a little earlier in the process. A failure
here will abort the transaction. That's pretty unnecessary, it's not
that important that we remove the results, but it's still better than a
crash.
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.
This change adds support for SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
When transaction connections are not established yet, savepoints are kept in a stack and sent to the worker when the connection is later established. After establishing connections, savepoint commands are sent as they arrive.
This change fixes#1493 .
This commit adds distributed transaction id infrastructure in
the scope of distributed deadlock detection.
In general, the distributed transaction id consists of a tuple
in the form of: `(databaseId, initiatorNodeIdentifier, transactionId,
timestamp)`.
Briefly, we add a shared memory block on each node, which holds some
information per backend (i.e., an array `BackendData backends[MaxBackends]`).
Later, on each coordinated transaction, Citus sends
`SELECT assign_distributed_transaction_id()` right after `BEGIN`.
For that backend on the worker, the distributed transaction id is set to
the values assigned via the function call.
The aim of the above is to correlate the transactions on the coordinator
to the transactions on the worker nodes.
Uncrustify 0.65 appears to have changed some defaults, resulting in
breakages for those of us who have already upgraded; Travis still uses
Uncrustify 0.64, but these changes work with both versions (assuming
appropriately updated config), so this should permit use of either
version for the time being.
- Break CheckShardPlacements into multiple functions (The most important
is MarkFailedShardPlacements), so that we can get rid of the global
CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC.
- Call MarkFailedShardPlacements in the router executor, so we mark
shards as invalid and stop using them while inside transaction blocks.
If any placements fail it doesn't update shard statistics on those placements.
A minor enabling refactor: Make CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC public (it used to be CoordinatedTransactionUse2PC but that symbol already existed, so renamed it as well)
Remove the router specific transaction and shard management, and
replace it with the new placement connection API. This mostly leaves
behaviour alone, except that it is now, inside a transaction, legal to
select from a shard to which no pre-existing connection exists.
To simplify code the code handling task executions for select and
modify has been split into two - the previous coding was starting to
get confusing due to the amount of only conditionally applicable code.
Modification connections & transactions are now always established in
parallel, not just for reference tables.
Currently there are several places in citus that map placements to
connections and that manage placement health. Centralize this
knowledge. Because of the centralized knowledge about which
connection has previously been used for which shard/placement, this
also provides the basis for relaxing restrictions around combining
various forms of DDL/DML.
Connections for a placement can now be acquired using
GetPlacementConnection(). If the connection is used for DML or DDL the
FOR_DDL/DML flags should be used respectively. If an individual
remote transaction fails (but the transaction on the master succeeds)
and FOR_DDL/DML have been specified, the placement is marked as
invalid, unless that'd mark all placements for a shard as invalid.
Adds support for VACUUM and ANALYZE commands which target a specific
distributed table. After grabbing the appropriate locks, this imple-
mentation sends VACUUM commands to each placement (using one connec-
tion per placement). These commands are sent in parallel, so users
with large tables will benefit from sharding. Except for VERBOSE, all
VACUUM and ANALYZE options are supported, including the explicit
column list used by ANALYZE.
As with many of our utility commands, the local command also runs. In
the VACUUM/ANALYZE case, the local command is executed before any re-
mote propagation. Because error handling is managed after local proc-
essing, this can result in a VACUUM completing locally but erroring
out when distributed processing commences: a minor technicality in all
cases, as there isn't really much reason to ever roll back a VACUUM (an
impossibility in any case, as VACUUM cannot run within a transaction).
Remote propagation of targeted VACUUM/ANALYZE is controlled by the
enable_ddl_propagation setting; warnings are emitted if such a command
is attempted when DDL propagation is disabled. Unqualified VACUUM or
ANALYZE is not handled, but a warning message informs the user of this.
Implementation note: this commit adds a "BARE" value to MultiShard-
CommitProtocol. When active, no BEGIN command is ever sent to remote
nodes, useful for commands such as VACUUM/ANALYZE which must not run in
a transaction block. This value is not user-facing and is reset at
transaction end.
One less place managing remote transactions. It also makes it fairly
easy to use 2PC for certain modifications (e.g. reference tables). Just
issue a CoordinatedTransactionUse2PC(). If every placement failure
should cause the whole transaction to abort, additionally mark the
relevant transactions as critical.
Connections are tracked and released by integrating into postgres'
transaction handling. That allows to to use connections without having
to resort to having to disable interrupts or using PG_TRY/CATCH blocks
to avoid leaking connections.
This is intended to eventually replace multi_client_executor.c and
connection_cache.c, and to provide the basis of a centralized
transaction management.
The newly introduced transaction hook should, in the future, be the only
one in citus, to allow for proper ordering between operations. For now
this central handler is responsible for releasing connections and
resetting XactModificationLevel after a transaction.
