A utility function is added so that each caller can implement a handler
for each index on a given table. This means that the caller doesn't need
to worry about how to access each index, the only thing that it needs to
do each to implement a function to which each index on the table is
passed iteratively.
When distributing a columnar table, as well as changing options on a distributed columnar table, this patch will forward the settings from the coordinator to the workers.
For propagating options changes on an already distributed table this change is pretty straight forward. Before applying the change in options locally we will create a `DDLJob` that contains a call to `alter_columnar_table_set(...)` for every shard placement with all settings of the current table. This goes both for setting an option as well as resetting. This will reset the values to the defaults configured on the coordinator. Having the effect that the coordinator is authoritative on the settings and makes sure the shards have the same settings set as the table on the coordinator.
When a columnar table is distributed it is using the `TableDDLCommand` infra structure to create a new kind of `TableDDLCommand`. This new type, called a `TableDDLCommandFunction` contains a context and 2 function pointers to execute. One function returns the command as applied on the table, the second function will return the sql command to apply to a shard with a given shard id. The schema name is ignored as it will use the fully qualified name of the shard in the same schema as the base table.
Refactor internals on how Citus creates the SQL commands it sends to recreate shards.
Before Citus collected solely ddl commands as `char *`'s to recreate a table. If they were used to create a shard they were wrapped with `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` and send to the workers. On the workers the UDF wrapping the ddl command would rewrite the parsetree to replace tables names with their shard name equivalent.
This worked well, but poses an issue when adding columnar. Due to limitations in Postgres on creating custom options on table access methods we need to fall back on a UDF to set columnar specific options. Now, to recreate the table, we can not longer rely on having solely DDL statements to recreate a table.
A prototype was made to run this UDF wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`. This became pretty messy, hard to understand and subsequently hard to maintain.
This PR proposes a refactor of the internal representation of table ddl commands into a `TableDDLCommand` structure. The current implementation only supports a `char *` as its contents. Based on the use of the DDL statement (eg. creating the table -mx- or creating a shard) one of two different functions can be called to get the statement to send to the worker:
- `GetTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command)`: This function returns that ddl command to create the table. In this implementation it will just return the `char *`. This has the same functionality as getting the old list and not wrapping it.
- `GetShardedTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command, uint64 shardId, char *schemaName)`: This function returns the ddl command wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` with the `shardId` as an argument. Due to backwards compatibility it also accepts a. `schemaName`. The exact purpose is not directly clear. Ideally new implementations would work with fully qualified statements and ignore the `schemaName`.
A future implementation could accept 2.function pointers and a `void *` for context to let the two pointers work on. This gives greater flexibility in controlling what commands get send in which situations. Also, in a future, we could implement the intermediate step of creating the `parsetree` datastructure of statements based on the contents in the catalog with a corresponding deparser. For sharded queries a mutator could be ran over the parsetree to rewrite the tablenames to the names with the shard identifier. This will completely omit the requirement for `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`.
We should not access CurrentLocalExecutionStatus directly because that
would mean that we could also set it directly, which we shouldn't
because we have checks to see if the new state is possible, otherwise we
error.
With postgres 13, there is a global lock that prevents multiple VACUUMs
happening in the current database. This global lock is taken for a short
time but this creates a problem because of the following:
- We execute the VACUUM for the shell table through the standard process
utility. In this step the global lock is taken for the current database.
- If the current node has shard placements then it tries to execute
VACUUM over a connection to localhost with ExecuteUtilityTaskList.
- the VACUUM on shard placements cannot proceed because it is waiting
for the global lock for the current database to be released.
- The acquired lock from the VACUUM for shell table will not be released
until the transaction is committed.
- So there is a deadlock.
As a solution, we commit the current transaction in case of VACUUM after
the VACUUM is executed for the shell table. Executing the VACUUM on a
shell table is not important because the data there will probably be
truncated. PostprocessVacuumStmt takes the necessary locks on the shell
table so we don't need to take any extra locks after we commit the
current transaction.
Citus has the logic to truncate the long shard names to prevent
various issues, including self-deadlocks. However, for partitioned
tables, when index is created on the parent table, the index names
on the partitions are auto-generated by Postgres. We use the same
Postgres function to generate the index names on the shards of the
partitions. If the length exceeds the limit, we switch to sequential
execution mode.
Pushing down the CALLs to the node that the CALL is executed is
dangerous and could lead to infinite recursion.
When the coordinator added as worker, Citus was by chance preventing
this. The coordinator was marked as "not metadatasynced" node
in pg_dist_node, which prevented CALL/function delegation to happen.
With this commit, we do the following:
- Fix metadatasynced column for the coordinator on pg_dist_node
- Prevent pushdown of function/procedure to the same node that
the function/procedure is being executed. Today, we do not sync
pg_dist_object (e.g., distributed functions metadata) to the
worker nodes. But, even if we do it now, the function call delegation
would prevent the infinite recursion.
This commit brings following features:
Foreign key support from citus local tables to reference tables
* Foreign key support from reference tables to citus local tables
(only with RESTRICT & NO ACTION behavior)
* ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE trigger command support
* CREATE/DROP/ALTER trigger command support
and disallows:
* ALTER TABLE ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION commands
* CREATE TABLE <postgres table> ATTACH PARTITION <citus local table>
commands
* Foreign keys from postgres tables to citus local tables
(the other way was already disallowed)
for citus local 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.
CMDTAG_SELECT exists in PG12 hence defining a MACRO such as
CMDTAG_SELECT -> "SELECT" is not possible. I chose CMDTAG_SELECT_COMPAT
because with the COMPAT suffix it is explicit that it maps to different
things in different versions and also has a less chance of mapping
something irrevelant. For example if we used SELECT as a macro, then it
would map every SELECT to whatever it is mapping to, which might have
unexpected/undesired behaviour.
The error message when index has opclassopts is improved and the commit
from postgres side is also included for future reference.
Also some minor style related changes are applied.
Postgres 13 added a new VACUUM option, PARALLEL. It is now supported
in our code as well.
Relevant changelog message on postgres:
Allow VACUUM to process indexes in parallel (Masahiko Sawada, Amit Kapila)
This commit mostly adds pg_get_triggerdef_command to our ruleutils_13.
This doesn't add anything extra for ruleutils 13 so it is basically a copy
of the change on ruleutils_12
Postgres introduced QueryCompletion struct. Hence a compat utility is
added to finish query completion for older versions and pg >= 13.
The commit on Postgres side:
2f9661311b83dc481fc19f6e3bda015392010a40
With PG13 heap_* (heap_open, heap_close etc) are replaced with table_*
(table_open, table_close etc).
It is better to use the new table access methods in the codebase and
define the macros for the previous versions as we can easily remove the
macro without having to change the codebase when we drop the support for
the old version.

lnext_compat and list_delete_cell_compat macros are introduced so that
we can use these macros in the codebase without having to use #if
directives in the codebase.

add ListCellAndListWrapper
When iterating a list in separate function calls, we need both the list
and the current cell starting from PG13, therefore
ListCellAndListWrapper is added to store both as a wrapper.
Use ListCellAndListWrapper in foreign key test udfs
As we iterate a list in these udfs using a functionContext, we need to
use the wrapper to be able to access both the list and the current cell.
With this patch, we introduce `locally_reserved_shared_connections.c/h` files
which are responsible for reserving some space in shared memory counters
upfront.
We sometimes need to reserve connections, but not necessarily
establish them. For example:
- COPY command should reserve connections as it cannot know which
connections it needs in which order. COPY establishes connections
as any input data hits the workers. For example, for router COPY
command, it only establishes 1 connection.
As discussed here (https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/3849#pullrequestreview-431792473),
COPY needs to reserve connections up-front, otherwise we can end
up with resource starvation/un-detected deadlocks.
* Use CalculateUniformHashRangeIndex in HashPartitionId
INT32_MIN definition can change among different platforms hence it is
possible to get overflow, we would see crashes because of this in debian
distros. We have already solved a similar problem with introducing
CalculateUniformHashRangeIndex method, hence to solve it we can use the
same method, this also removes some duplication and has a single place
to decide that.
* Use PG_INT32_XX instead of INT32_XX to be safer
