Because they're only interested in distributed tables. Even more,
this replaces HasDistributionKey() check with
IsCitusTableType(DISTRIBUTED_TABLE) because this doesn't make a
difference on main and sounds slightly more intuitive. Plus, this
would also allow safely using this function in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6773.
DESCRIPTION: Check before logicalrep for rebalancer, error if needed
Check if we can use logical replication or not, in case of shard
transfer mode = auto, before executing the shard moves. If we can't,
error out. Before this PR, we used to error out in the middle of shard
moves:
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 4; -- just to get the error sooner
select citus_remove_node('localhost',9702);
create table t1 (a int primary key);
select create_distributed_table('t1','a');
create table t2 (a bigint);
select create_distributed_table('t2','a');
select citus_add_node('localhost',9702);
select rebalance_table_shards();
NOTICE: Moving shard 102008 from localhost:9701 to localhost:9702 ...
NOTICE: Moving shard 102009 from localhost:9701 to localhost:9702 ...
NOTICE: Moving shard 102012 from localhost:9701 to localhost:9702 ...
ERROR: cannot use logical replication to transfer shards of the relation t2 since it doesn't have a REPLICA IDENTITY or PRIMARY KEY
```
Now we check and error out in the beginning, without moving the shards.

2) Move all MERGE related routines to a new file merge_planner.c
3) Make ConjunctionContainsColumnFilter() static again, and rearrange the code in MergeQuerySupported()
4) Restore the original format in the comments section.
5) Add big serial test. Implement latest set of comments
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.
(cherry picked from commit 44c387b978)
This implements MERGE phase3
Support pushdown query where all the tables in the merge-sql are Citus-distributed, co-located, and both
the source and target relations are joined on the distribution column. This will generate multiple tasks
which execute independently after pushdown.
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
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)
*The only exception for both the phases II and III is, UPDATEs and INSERTs must be done on the same shard-group
as the joined key; for example, below scenarios are NOT supported as the key-value to be inserted/updated is not
guaranteed to be on the same node as the id distribution-column.
MERGE INTO target t
USING source s ON (t.customer_id = s.customer_id)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN - -
INSERT(customer_id, …) VALUES (<non-local-constant-key-value>, ……);
OR this scenario where we update the distribution column itself
MERGE INTO target t
USING source s On (t.customer_id = s.customer_id)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET customer_id = 100;

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, this commit deletes those dependency edges so that
pg_dump stops complaining about them. Note that it's not critical to
delete those edges from pg_depend since they're not breaking pg upgrades
but were triggering some warning messages. And given that backporting
a sql change into older versions is hard a lot, we skip backporting
this.
Decide core distribution params in CreateCitusTable to reduce the
chances of
creating Citus tables based on incorrect combinations of distribution
method
and replication model params.
Also introduce DistributedTableParams struct to encapsulate the
parameters
that are specific to distributed tables.
Now that we will soon add another table type having DISTRIBUTE_BY_NONE
as distribution method and that we want the code to interpret such
tables mostly as distributed tables, let's make the definition of those
other two table types more strict by removing
CITUS_TABLE_WITH_NO_DIST_KEY
macro.
And instead, use HasDistributionKey() check in the places where the
logic applies to all table types that have / don't have a distribution
key. In future PRs, we might want to convert some of those
HasDistributionKey() checks if logic only applies to Citus local /
reference tables, not the others.
And adding HasDistributionKey() also allows us to consider having
DISTRIBUTE_BY_NONE as the distribution method as a "table attribute"
that can apply to distributed tables too, rather something that
determines the table type.
Split the main logic that allows creating a Citus table into the
internal function CreateCitusTable().
Old CreateDistributedTable() function was assuming that it's creating
a reference table when the distribution method is DISTRIBUTE_BY_NONE.
However, soon this won't be the case when adding support for creating
single-shard distributed tables because their distribution method would
also be the same.
Now the internal method CreateCitusTable() doesn't make any assumptions
about table's replication model or such. Instead, it expects callers to
properly set all such metadata bits.
Even more, some of the parameters the old CreateDistributedTable() takes
--such as the shard count-- were not meaningful for a reference table,
and would be the same as for new table type.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug in shard copy operations.
For copying shards in both shard move and shard split operations, Citus
uses the COPY statement.
A COPY all statement in the following form
` COPY target_shard FROM STDIN;`
throws an error when there is a GENERATED column in the shard table.
In order to fix this issue, we need to exclude the GENERATED columns in
the COPY and the matching SELECT statements. Hence this fix converts the
COPY and SELECT all statements to the following form:
```
COPY target_shard (col1, col2, ..., coln) FROM STDIN;
SELECT (col1, col2, ..., coln) FROM source_shard;
```
where (col1, col2, ..., coln) does not include a GENERATED column.
GENERATED column values are created in the target_shard as the values
are inserted.
Fixes#6705.

DESCRIPTION: Adds logic to distribute unbalanced shards
If the number of shard placements (for a colocation group) is less than
the number of workers, it means that some of the workers will remain
empty. With this PR, we consider these shard groups as a colocation
group, in order to make them be distributed evenly as much as possible
across the cluster.
Example:
```sql
create table t1 (a int primary key);
create table t2 (a int primary key);
create table t3 (a int primary key);
set citus.shard_count =1;
select create_distributed_table('t1','a');
select create_distributed_table('t2','a',colocate_with=>'t1');
select create_distributed_table('t3','a',colocate_with=>'t2');
create table tb1 (a bigint);
create table tb2 (a bigint);
select create_distributed_table('tb1','a');
select create_distributed_table('tb2','a',colocate_with=>'tb1');
select citus_add_node('localhost',9702);
select rebalance_table_shards();
```
Here we have two colocation groups, each with one shard group. Both
shard groups are placed on the first worker node. When we add a new
worker node and try to rebalance table shards, the rebalance planner
considers it well balanced and does nothing. With this PR, the
rebalancer tries to distribute these shard groups evenly across the
cluster as much as possible. For this example, with this PR, the
rebalancer moves one of the shard groups to the second worker node.
fixes: #6715
DESCRIPTION: Correctly report shard size in citus_shards view
When looking at citus_shards, people are interested in the actual size
that all the data related to the shard takes up on disk.
`pg_total_relation_size` is the function to use for that purpose. The
previously used `pg_relation_size` does not include indexes or TOAST.
Especially the missing toast can have enormous impact on the size of the
shown data.
2 improvements to prevent memory leaks during altering or undistributing
distributed tables with a lot of partitions and shards:
1. Free memory for each call to ConvertTable so that colocated and partition tables at
`AlterDistributedTable`, `UndistributeTable`, or
`AlterTableSetAccessMethod` will not cause an increase
in memory usage,
2. Free memory while executing attach partition commands for each partition table at
`AlterDistributedTable` to prevent an increase in memory usage.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak issue during altering distributed table
with a lot of partition and shards.
Fixes https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6503.
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.

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.

single row.

DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak during undistribution and alteration of a

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

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

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

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.

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

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

SELECT create_distributed_table('s1', 'id', colocate_with => ‘t1’);

WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET val = s1.val + 10
WHEN MATCHED THEN

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.
DESCRIPTION: Drop `SHARD_STATE_TO_DELETE` and use the cleanup records
instead
Drops the shard state that is used to mark shards as orphaned. Now we
insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup` so "orphaned" shards will
be dropped either by maintenance daemon or internal cleanup calls. With
this PR, we make the "cleanup orphaned shards" functions to be no-op, as
they would not be needed anymore.
This PR includes some naming changes about placement functions. We don't
need functions that filter orphaned shards, as there will be no orphaned
shards anymore.
We will also be introducing a small script with this PR, for users with
orphaned shards. We'll basically delete the orphaned shard entries from
`pg_dist_placement` and insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup`
for each one of them, during Citus upgrade.
We also have a lot of flakiness fixes in this PR.

DESCRIPTION: Defers cleanup after a failure in shard move or split
We don't need to do a cleanup in case of failure on a shard transfer or
split anymore. Because,
* Maintenance daemon will clean them up anyway.
* We trigger a cleanup at the beginning of shard transfers/splits.
* The cleanup on failure logic also can fail sometimes and instead of
the original error, we throw the error that is raised by the cleanup
procedure, and it causes confusion.
DESCRIPTION: Cleanup the shard on the target node in case of a
failed/aborted shard move
Inserts a cleanup record for the moved shard placement on the target
node. If the move operation succeeds, the record will be deleted. If
not, it will remain there to be cleaned up later.
fixes: #6580
All the tables (target, source or any CTE present) in the SQL statement are local i.e. a merge-sql with a combination of Citus local and
Non-Citus tables (regular Postgres tables) should work and give the same result as Postgres MERGE on regular tables. Catch and throw an
exception (not-yet-supported) for all other scenarios during Citus-planning phase.
DESCRIPTION: Support ALTER TABLE .. ADD PRIMARY KEY ... command
Before processing
> **ALTER TABLE ... ADD PRIMARY KEY ...**
command
1. Create a primary key name to use as the constraint name.
2. Change the **ALTER TABLE ... ADD PRIMARY KEY ...** command to into
**ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT \<constraint name> PRIMARY KEY ...**
form.
This is the only form we can specify a name for a primary key. If we run
ALTER TABLE .. ADD PRIMARY KEY, postgres
would create a constraint name internally in its own scheme. But the
problem is that we need to create constraint names
for shards in our own scheme which is \<constraint name>_\<shardid>.
Hence we need to create a name and send it to workers so that the
workers can append the shardid.
4. Run the changed command on the coordinator to make sure we are using
the same constraint name across the board.
5. Send the changed command to workers such that it is executed for the
main table as well as for the shards.
Fixes#6515.
Removes unused job boundary tag `SUBQUERY_MAP_MERGE_JOB`.
Only usage is at `BuildMapMergeJob`, which is only called when the
boundary = `JOIN_MAP_MERGE_JOB`. Hence, it should be safe to remove.
Before this commit, we created an additional WaitEventSet for
checking whether the remote socket is closed per connection -
only once at the start of the execution.
However, for certain workloads, such as pgbench select-only
workloads, the creation/deletion of the additional WaitEventSet
adds ~7% CPU overhead, which is also reflected on the benchmark
results.
With this commit, we use the same WaitEventSet for the purposes
of checking the remote socket at the start of the execution.
We use "rebuildWaitEventSet" flag so that the executor can re-use
the existing WaitEventSet.
As a result, we see the following improvements on PG 15:
main : 120051 tps, 0.532 ms latency avg.
avoid_wes_rebuild: 127119 tps, 0.503 ms latency avg.
And, on PG 14, as expected, there is no difference
main : 129191 tps, 0.495 ms latency avg.
avoid_wes_rebuild: 129480 tps, 0.494 ms latency avg.
But, note that PG 15 is slightly (~1.5%) slower than PG 14.
That is probably the overhead of checking the remote socket.
Fixes a missed include in #6315.
While adding the cluster clock we have added some extra steps to
`citus_prepare_pg_upgrade` and `citus_finish_pg_upgrade`. These changes
were not added to the citus upgrade and downgrade scripts, this allowed
for a syntax error to slip in.
This PR adds the new versions of both UDF's to the upgrade script while
adding the old version to the downgrade script. This exposed the syntax
error which is also solved.
- Because of the make command used for vanilla tests, test status is
always shown as success on CI. As a fix, I added `&& false` at the end
of the copying diff file to make the command fail when check-vanilla
fails.
```make
check-vanilla: all
$(pg_regress_multi_check) --vanillatest || (cp $(vanilla_diffs_file) $(citus_abs_srcdir)/regression.diffs && false)
```
- I also fixed some vanilla tests that fails due to recently added clock
related operators shown up at some queries.
We already have citus_job_wait to wait until the job reaches the desired
state. That PR adds waiting on task state to allow more granular
waiting. It can be used for Citus operations. Moreover, it is also
useful for testing purposes. (wait until a task reaches specified state)
Related to #6459.
Fixes task executor SIGTERM handling.
Problem:
When task executors are sent SIGTERM, their default handler
`bgworker_die`, which is set at worker startup, logs FATAL error. But
they do not release locks there before logging the error, which
sometimes causes hanging of the monitor. e.g. Monitor waits for the lock
forever at pg_stat flush after calling proc_exit.
Solution:
Because executors have connection to backend, they should handle SIGTERM
similar to normal backends. Normal backends uses `die` handler, in which
they set ProcDiePending flag and the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call
handles it gracefully by releasing any lock before termination.
DESCRIPTION: Create replication artifacts with unique names
We're creating replication objects with generic names. This disallows us
to enable parallel shard moves, as two operations might use the same
objects. With this PR, we'll create below objects with operation
specific names, by appending OparationId to the names.
* Subscriptions
* Publications
* Replication Slots
* Users created for subscriptions
1) Regular users fail to use clock UDF with permission issue.
2) Clock functions were declared as STABLE, whereas by definition they are VOLATILE. By design, any clock/time
functions will return different results for each call even within a single SQL statement.
Note: UDF citus_get_transaction_clock() is a misnomer as it internally calls the clock tick which always returns
different results for every invocation in the same transaction.
Adds signal handlers for graceful termination, cancellation of
task executors and detecting config updates. Related to PR #6459.
#### How to handle termination signal?
Monitor need to gracefully terminate all running task executors before
terminating. Hence, we have sigterm handler for the monitor.
#### How to handle cancellation signal?
Monitor need to gracefully cancel all running task executors before
terminating. Hence, we have sigint handler for the monitor.
#### How to detect configuration changes?
Monitor has SIGHUP handler to reflect configuration changes while
executing tasks.
When using multiline strings, we occasionally forget to add a single
space at the end of the first line. When this line is concatenated with
the next one, the resulting string has a missing space.
DESCRIPTION: Extend cleanup process for replication artifacts
This PR adds new cleanup record types for:
* Subscriptions
* Replication slots
* Publications
* Users created for subscriptions
We add records for these object types, to `pg_dist_cleanup` during
creation phase. Once the operation is done, in case of success or
failure, we iterate those records and drop the objects. With this PR we
will not be dropping any of these objects during the operation. In
short, we will always be deferring the drop.
One thing that's worth mentioning is that we sort cleanup records before
processing (dropping) them, because of dependency relations among those
objects, e.g a subscription might depend on a publication. Therefore, we
always drop subscriptions before publications.
We have some renames in this PR:
* `TryDropOrphanedShards` -> `TryDropOrphanedResources`
* `DropOrphanedShardsForCleanup` -> `DropOrphanedResourcesForCleanup`
* `run_try_drop_marked_shards` -> `run_try_drop_marked_resources`
as these functions now process replication artifacts as well.
This PR drops function `DropAllLogicalReplicationLeftovers` and its all
usages, since now we rely on the deferring drop mechanism.
Improvement on our background task monitoring API (PR #6296) to support
concurrent and nonblocking task execution.
Mainly we have a queue monitor background process which forks task
executors for `Runnable` tasks and then monitors their status by
fetching messages from shared memory queue in nonblocking way.
**Problem**: Currently, we error out if we detect recurring tuples in
one side without checking the other side of the join.
**Solution**: When one side of the full join consists recurring tuples
and the other side consists nonrecurring tuples, we should not pushdown
to prevent duplicate results. Otherwise, safe to pushdown.
This PR changes
```citus.propagate_session_settings_for_loopback_connection``` default
value to off not to expose this feature publicly at this point. See
#6488 for details.
When debugging issues it's quite useful to see the originating gpid in
the application_name of a query on a worker. This already happens for
most queries, but not for queries created by the rebalancer or by
run_command_on_worker. This adds a gpid to those two application_names
too.
Note, that if the GPID of the new application_names is different than
the current GPID of the backend the backend will continue to keep
the old gpid as its actual GPID. This PR is just meant to make sure
that the application_name is as useful as it can be for users to
look at. Updating of gpids will be done in a follow-up PR, and
adding gpids to all internal connections will make this easier.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a potential dangling pointer issue
Need to backport to 11.0 & 11.1 since we might want to release packages
for debian/bookworm based on those branches in future.
Fixes a bug that causes crash when using auto_explain extension with
ALTER TABLE...ADD FOREIGN KEY... queries.
Those queries trigger a SELECT query on the citus tables as part of the
foreign key constraint validation check. At the explain hook, workers
try to explain this SELECT query as a distributed query causing memory
corruption in the connection data structures. Hence, we will not explain
ALTER TABLE...ADD FOREIGN KEY... and the triggered queries on the
workers.
Fixes#6424.
(Hopefully) Fixes#5000.
If memory allocation done for `SubXactContext *state` in `PushSubXact()`

For this reason, to be more defensive against memory-allocation errors
that could happen at `PushSubXact()`, now we use our pre-allocated
memory
context for the objects created in `PushSubXact()`.
This commit also attempts reducing the memory allocations done under
CommitContext to reduce the chances of consuming all the memory
available
to CommitContext.
Note that it's problematic to encounter with such a memory-allocation
error for other objects created in `PushSubXact()` as well, so above is
an **example** scenario that might result in a segfault.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that might cause segfaults when handling deeply
nested subtransactions
DESCRIPTION: Makes sure to disallow triggers that depend on extensions
We were already doing so for `ALTER trigger DEPENDS ON EXTENSION`
commands. However, we also need to disallow creating Citus tables
having such triggers already, so this PR fixes that.
DESCRIPTION: Improve a query that terminates compeling backends from citus_update_node()
1. Use pg_blocking_pids() function instead of self join on pg_locks. It exists since 9.6 and more accurate than pg_locks.
2. Prefix all function calls with pg_catalog schema to prevent privilege escalation by creating functions with similar names in a public schema.
3. Change logs and update comments to reflect the fact that the pg_terminate_backend() function only sends SIGTERM but not wating for the actual backend termination.
DESCRIPTION: Allow citus_update_node() to work with nodes from different clusters
citus_update_node(), citus_nodename_for_nodeid(), and citus_nodeport_for_nodeid() functions only checked for nodes in their own clusters and hence last two returned NULLs and the first one showed an error is the nodeId was from a different cluster.
Fixes https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6433
increasing logical clock. Clock guarantees to never go back in value after restarts,
and makes best attempt to keep the value close to unix epoch time in milliseconds.
Also, introduces a new GUC "citus.enable_cluster_clock", when true, every
distributed transaction is stamped with logical causal clock and persisted
in a catalog pg_dist_commit_transaction.
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_split
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_move
Drop GUCs and related parts from the code.
Delete tests that specifically added for the GUCs.
Keep tests that can be used without the GUCs.
Update test output changes.
The motivation for this PR is to have an "always deferring" mechanism.
These two GUCs provide an option to not deferring dropping objects
during a shard move/split, and dropping them immediately. With this PR,
we will be always deferring dropping orphaned shards and other types of
objects.
We will have a separate PR to extend the deferred cleanup operation, so
that we would create records for deferred drop, for Subscriptions,
Publications, Replication Slots etc. This will make us be able to keep
track of created objects that needs to be dropped, during a shard
move/split. We will have objects created specifically for the current
operation; and those objects will be dropped at the end.
We have an issue (a draft roadmap) for enabling parallel shard moves.
For details please see: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6437
This didn't cause any bugs since today we're always calling
UpdateAutoConvertedForConnectedRelations with autoconverted=false, so we
don't need to backport this to anywhere.
We should not introduce breaking sql changes to upgrade files after they
are released. We did that for worker_fetch_foreign_file in v9.0.0 and
worker_repartition_cleanup in v9.2.0. Later when we try to drop those
udfs, they were missing for some clients unexpectedly due to breaking
change in an old upgrade script. For that case, the fix is to add DROP
IF EXISTS for those 2 udfs in 11.0-4--11.1-1.
This crash happens with recursively planned queries. For such queries,
subplans are explained via the ExplainOnePlan function of postgresql.
This function reconstructs the query description from the plan therefore
it expects the ActiveSnaphot for the query be available. This fix makes
sure that the snapshot is in the stack before calling ExplainOnePlan.
Fixes#2920.
DESCRIPTION: Don't leak search_path to workers on DDL
For DDL we have to set the `search_path` on workers to the same as on
the coordinator for some DDL to work. Previously this search_path would
leak outside of the transaction that was used for the DDL. This fixes
that by using `SET LOCAL` instead of `SET`. The only place where we
still use plain `SET` is for DDL commands that are not allowed within
transactions, such as `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENLTY`.
This fixes this flaky test:
```diff
CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT change_id FROM distributed_triggers.data_changes
WHERE shard_key_value = NEW.shard_key_value AND object_id = NEW.object_id
ORDER BY change_id DESC LIMIT 1"

I had tried to fix this flaky test in #5894 and then I tried
implementing a better fix in #5896, where @marcocitus suggested this
better fix. This change reverts the fix from #5894 and implements the
fix suggested by Marco.
Our multi_mx_alter_distributed_table test actually depended on the old
buggy search_path leaking behavior. After fixing the bug that test would
fail like this:
```diff
CALL proc_0(1.0);
DEBUG: pushing down the procedure
-NOTICE: Res: 3
-DETAIL: from localhost:xxxxx
+ERROR: relation "test_proc_colocation_0" does not exist
+CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function mx_alter_distributed_table.proc_0(double precision) line 5 at SQL statement
+while executing command on localhost:57637
RESET client_min_messages;
```
I fixed this test by fully qualifying the table names used in the
procedure. I think it's quite unlikely that actual users depend
on this behavior though. Since it would require first doing
DDL before calling a procedure in a session where the
search_path was changed after connecting.
DESCRIPTION: Adds failure test for shard move
DESCRIPTION: Remove function `WaitForAllSubscriptionsToBecomeReady` and
related tests
Adding some failure tests for shard moves.
Dropping the not-needed-anymore function
`WaitForAllSubscriptionsToBecomeReady`, as the subscriptions now start
as ready from the beginning because we don't use logical replication
table sync workers anymore.
fixes: #6260
To be able to test non-blocking shard moves we take an advisory lock, so
we can pause the shard move at an interesting moment. Originally this
was during the logical replication catch up phase. But when I added
tests for the rebalancer progress I moved this lock before the initial
data copy. This allowed testing of the rebalance progress, but
inadvertently made our non-blocking tests not actually test if we held
unintended locks during logical replication catch up.
This fixes that by creating two types of advisory locks, one before the
copy and one after. This causes the tests to actually test their
intended scenario again.
Furthermore it starts using one of these locks for blocking shard moves
too. Which allowed me to reduce the complexity of the rebalance progress
test suite quite a bit. It also allowed enabling some flaky tests again,
because this stopped them from being flaky. And finally it allowed
testing of rebalance progress for blocking shard copy operations as
well.
In passing it fixes a flaky test during parallel blocking shard moves by
ordering the output.
DESCRIPTION: Adds status column to get_rebalance_progress()
Introduces a new column named `status` for the function
`get_rebalance_progress()`. For each ongoing shard move, this column
will reveal information about that shard move operation's current
status.
For now, candidate status messages could be one of the below.
* Not Started
* Setting Up
* Copying Data
* Catching Up
* Creating Constraints
* Final Catchup
* Creating Foreign Keys
* Completing
* Completed
Deparser function set_relation_column_names() knows that it needs to
re-evaluate column names based on relation's tuple descriptor when
the rte belongs to a relation (RTE_RELATION).
However before this commit, it didn't know about the fact that citus
might wrap such an rte with an rte that points to
citus_extradata_container() placeholder.
And because of this, it was simply taking the column aliases
(e.g., "bar" in "foo AS bar") into the account and this might result in
an incorrectly deparsed query as in below case:
* Say, if we had view based on following query:
```sql
SELECT a FROM table;
```
* And if we rename column "a" to "b", the view query normally becomes:
```sql
SELECT b AS a FROM table;
```
* So before this commit, deparsing a query based on that view was
resulting in such a query due to deparsing based on the column aliases,
which is not correct:
```sql
SELECT a FROM table;
```
Fixes#5932.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that might cause failing to query the views
based on tables that have renamed columns
PostgreSQL 15 exposes WL_SOCKET_CLOSED in WaitEventSet API, which is
useful for detecting closed remote sockets. In this patch, we use this
new event and try to detect closed remote sockets in the executor.
When a closed socket is detected, the executor now has the ability to
retry the connection establishment. Note that, the executor can retry
connection establishments only for the connection that has not been
used. Basically, this patch is mostly useful for preventing the executor
to fail if a cached connection is closed because of the worker node
restart (or worker failover).
In other words, the executor cannot retry connection establishment if we
are in a distributed transaction AND any command has been sent over the
connection. That requires more sophisticated retry mechanisms. For now,
fixing the above use case is enough.
Fixes#5538
Earlier discussions: #5908, #6259 and #6283
### Summary of the current approach regards to earlier trials
As noted, we explored some alternatives before getting into this.
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6283 is simple, but lacks an
important property. We should be checking for `WL_SOCKET_CLOSED`
_before_ sending anything over the wire. Otherwise, it becomes very
tricky to understand which connection is actually safe to retry. For
example, in the current patch, we can safely check
`transaction->transactionState == REMOTE_TRANS_NOT_STARTED` before
restarting a connection.
#6259 does what we intent here (e.g., check for sending any command).
However, as @marcocitus noted, it is very tricky to handle
`WaitEventSets` in multiple places. And, the executor is designed such
that it reacts to the events. So, adding anything `pre-executor` seemed
too ugly.
In the end, I converged into this patch. This patch relies on the
simplicity of #6283 and also does a very limited handling of
`WaitEventSets`, just for our purpose. Just before we add any connection
to the execution, we check if the remote session has already closed.
With that, we do a brief interaction of multiple wait event processing,
but with different purposes. The new wait event processing we added does
not even consider cancellations. We let that handled by the main event
processing loop.

In #6405 I added better improved blocked process detection for isolation
tests. But when cleaning up unnecessary code I cleaned up a bit too
much. This actually includes the new function definition in our
migrations.
If an operation requires having coordinator in pg_dist_node and if that
is not the case, then we automatically add the coordinator into
pg_dist_node if user didn't add any worker nodes yet.
However, if user have already added some worker nodes before, we throw
an error. With this commit, we improve the error thrown in that case.
Closes#6423 based on the discussion made there.
Sometimes our CI randomly fails on a test in a way similar to this:
```diff
step s2-drop:
DROP TABLE cancel_table;
-
+ <waiting ...>
+step s2-drop: <... completed>
starting permutation: s1-timeout s1-begin s1-sleep10000 s1-rollback s1-reset s1-drop

I tried to fix that already in #6252 by disabling the maintenance daemon
during isolation tests. But it seems that hasn't fixed all cases of
these errors. This is another attempt at fixing these issues that seems
to have better results.
What it does is that it starts using the pInterestingPids parameter that
citus_isolation_test_session_is_blocked receives. With this change we
start filter out block-edges that are not caused by any of these pids.
In passing this change also makes it possible to run
`isolation_create_distributed_table_concurrently` with
`check-isolation-base`
PG15 introduced a function called ReplicationSlotName that causes
conflicts with our function with the same name. I solved this issue by
renaming our function to ReplicationSlotNameForNodeAndOwner

It turned out this was an actual bug in the way our assigning of global
PIDs interacts with the way we connect to ourselves as the shard
rebalancer. The first command the shard rebalancer sends is a SET
ommand to change the application_name to `citus_rebalancer`. If
`StartupCitusBackend` is called after this command is processed, then it
overwrites the global PID that was extracted from the previous
application_name. This makes sure that we don't do that, and continue to
use the original global PID. While it might seem that we only call
`StartupCitusBackend` once for each query backend, this isn't actually
the case. Whenever pg_dist_partition gets ANALYZEd by autovacuum
we indirectly call `StartupCitusBackend` again, because we invalidate
the cache then.
In passing this fixes two other things as well:
1. It sets `distributedCommandOriginator` correctly in
`AssignGlobalPID`, by using IsExternalClientBackend(). This doesn't
matter much anymore, since AssignGlobalPID effectively becomes a
no-op in this PR for any non-external client backends.
2. It passes the application_name to InitializeBackendData in
StartupCitusBackend, instead of INVALID_CITUS_INTERNAL_BACKEND_GPID
(which effectively got casted to NULL). In practice this doesn't
change the behaviour of the call, since the call is a no-op for every
backend except the maintenance daemon. And the behaviour of the call
is the same for NULL as for the application_name of the maintenance
daemon.
DESCRIPTION: Raises memory limits in columnar from 256MB to 1GB for
reads and writes
This doesn't completely fix#5918 but at least increases the
buffer limits that might cause throwing an error when reading
from or writing into into columnar storage. A way better approach
to fix this is documented in #6420.
Replacing memcpy_s with memcpy is quite safe in those places
since we anyway make sure to allocate enough amount of memory
before writing into related buffers.
Fixes https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6394.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that causes creating disabled-triggers on
shards as enabled
Since CREATE TRIGGER doesn't have syntax support to specify
whether the trigger should be enabled/disabled, the underlying
PG function (`pg_get_triggerdef()`) that we use to generate the
command to create the trigger is not enough. For this reason, we
append a second command to enable/disable trigger, right after
creating it.
We don't retain explicit extension dependencies set by using
`ALTER trigger DEPENDS ON EXTENSION` commands too, but apparently
right fix for that is to throw an error as in
`PreprocessAlterTriggerDependsStmt()`; so, opened a separate PR
to fix that #6399.
During alter_distributed_table, we create a new table like the
original table but with the altered options.
To retrieve the name of the distribution column, we were using
the attribute syscache of the new table, since we already created
the new table as identical to the original table.
However, the attribute syscaches of these two tables are not
the same if the original table has dropped columns. The reason
is that dropped columns are all still present in the cache.
Hence, for example, the attnos would be different in the syscaches.
So, let's use the attribute syscache of the original table.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that prevents retaining columnar table options after a table-rewrite
A fix for this issue: Columnar: options ignored during ALTER TABLE
rewrite #5927
The OID for the temporary table created during ALTER TABLE was not the
same as the original table's OID so the columnar options were not being
applied during rewrite.
The change is that I applied the original table's columnar options to
the new table so that it has the correct options during write. I also
added a test.
DESCRIPTION: Adds source_lsn and target_lsn fields into
get_rebalance_progress
Adding two fields named `source_lsn` and `target_lsn` to the function
`get_rebalance_progress`.
Target lsn data is fetched in `GetShardStatistics`, by expanding the
query sent to workers (joining with pg_subscription_rel and
pg_stat_subscription). Then put into the hashmap, for each shard.
Source lsn data is fetched in `BuildWorkerShardStatististicsHash`, in
the loop that iterate each node, by sending a pg_current_wal_lsn query
to each node. Then put into the hashmap, for each node.
In Split, Logical replication logic and ShardCleaner we call
`SendCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransaction` and
`SendOptionalCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransaction` frequently. This
opens new connection for each of those calls, even though we already
have a perfectly good connection lying around.
This PR adds two new APIs
`SendCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransactionWithConnection` and
`SendOptionalCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransactionWithConnection` that
allow sending a list of queries in a transaction over an existing
connection. We also update the callers (Split, ShardCleaner, Logical
Replication) to use these new APIs instead.

In Citus 11.1.0 we changed the order of doing the initial data copy and
the replica identity creation when doing a non blocking shard move. This
was done to try and increase the speed with which shard moves could be
done. But after doing more extensive performance testing this change
turned out to have a negative impact on the speed of moves on the setups
that I tested.
Looking at the resource usage metrics of the VMs the reason for this
seems to be that these shard moves were bottlenecked by disk bandwidth.
While creating replica identities in bulk after the initial copy will
reduce CPU usage a bit, it does require an additional sequence scan of
the just written data. So when a VM is bottlenecked on disk, it makes
sense to spend a little bit more CPU to avoid an additional scan. Since
PKs are usually simple indexes that don't require lots of CPU to update,
as opposed to e.g. GiST indexes.
This reverts the order change to avoid a regression on shard move speed
in these cases.
For future releases we might consider re-evaluating our index creation
order for other indexes too, and create "simple" indexes before the
copy.
Given that we drop DEFAULT nextval('sequence') expressions from
shard relation columns, allowing `ON DELETE/UPDATE SET DEFAULT`
on such columns might cause inserting NULL values as a result
of a delete/update operation.
For this reason, we disallow ON DELETE/UPDATE SET DEFAULT actions
on columns that default to sequences.
DESCRIPTION: Disallows having ON DELETE/UPDATE SET DEFAULT actions on
columns that default to sequences
Fixes#6339.
As we did for GENERATED STORED columns in #4613, we should not drop
column
default expressions that are not based on sequences from shard relation
since
such expressions need to exist e.g. for foreign key actions.
For the column default expressions that are based on sequences we cannot
do much, so we need to disallow having ON DELETE SET DEFAULT actions on
such columns in a separate PR, see #6339.
Fixes#6318.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that might cause inserting incorrect DEFAULT
values when applying foreign key actions
DESCRIPTION: Fixes dropping replication slots
As detected by a flaky test, Citus sometimes fails to drop replication
slots, possibly due to a race condition, at the end of a shard split.
With this PR, we retry to drop them in case of an `OBJECT_IN_USE` error,
consistently for 20 seconds.
fixes: #6326
DESCRIPTION: Improve logging during shard split and resource cleanup
### DESCRIPTION
This PR makes logging improvements to Shard Split :
1. Update confusing logging to fix#6312
2. Added new `ereport(LOG` to make debugging easier as part of telemetry review.
Comment from the code is clear on this:
/*
* The statistics objects of the distributed table are not relevant
* for the distributed planning, so we can override it.
*
* Normally, we should not need this. However, the combination of
* Postgres commit 269b532aef55a579ae02a3e8e8df14101570dfd9 and
* Citus function AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning()
* forces us to do this. The commit expects statistics objects
* of partitions to have "inh" flag set properly. Whereas, the
* function overrides "inh" flag. To avoid Postgres to throw error,
* we override statlist such that Postgres does not try to process
* any statistics objects during the standard_planner() on the
* coordinator. In the end, we do not need the standard_planner()
* on the coordinator to generate an optimized plan. We call
* into standard_planner() for other purposes, such as generating the
* relationRestrictionContext here.
*
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is a hack that we use
* to prevent Postgres' standard_planner() to expand all the partitions
* for the distributed planning when a distributed partitioned table
* is queried. It is required for both correctness and performance
* reasons. Although we can eliminate the use of the function for
* the correctness (e.g., make sure that rest of the planner can handle
* partitions), it's performance implication is hard to avoid. Certain
* planning logic of Citus (such as router or query pushdown) relies
* heavily on the relationRestrictionList. If
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is removed, all the
* partitions show up in the, causing high planning times for
* such queries.

DESCRIPTION: Fixes floating exception during
create_distributed_table_concurrently.
Fixes#6332.
During create_distributed_table_concurrently, when there is no active
primary node, it fails with floating exception. We added similar check
with create_distributed_table. It will fail with proper message if
current active node is less than replication factor.
The PR introduces code changes to fix Issue
[6303](https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6303)
`create_distributed_table_concurrently` following drop column, creates a
buggy situation in split decoder.
* Consider the below scenario:
* Session1 : Drop column followed by
create_distributed_table_concurrently
* Session2 : Concurrent insert workload
The child shards created by `create_distributed_table_concurrently` will
have less columns than the source shard because some column were
dropped. The incoming tuple from session2 will have more columns as the
writes happened on source shard. But now the tuple needs to be applied
on child shard. So we need to format existing tuple according to child
schema and skip dropped column values.
The PR fixes this by reformatting the tuple according the target child
schema.
Test:
1) isolation_create_distributed_concurrently_after_drop_column - Repros
the issue and tests on the same.
No need for description, fixing issue introduced with new feature for
11.1
Fixes#6333
Due to Postgres' C api being o-indexed and postgres' attributes being
1-indexed, we were reading the wrong Datum as the Task owner when
cancelling. Here we add a test to show the error and fix the off-by-one
error.
When I built Citus on PG15beta4 locally, I get a warning message.
```
utils/background_jobs.c:902:5: warning: declaration does not declare anything
[-Wmissing-declarations]
__attribute__((fallthrough));
^
1 warning generated.
```
This is a hint to the compiler that we are deliberately falling through
in a switch-case block.
DESCRIPTION: Show citus_copy_shard_placement progress in
get_rebalance_progress
When rebalancing to a new node that does not have reference tables yet
the rebalancer will first copy the reference tables to the nodes.
Depending on the size of the reference tables, this might take a long
time. However, there's no indication of what's happening at this stage
of the rebalance.
This PR improves this situation by also showing the progress of any
citus_copy_shard_placement calls when calling get_rebalance_progress.
We can now do the following:
- Distribute sequence with logged/unlogged option
- ALTER TABLE my_sequence SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED
- ALTER SEQUENCE my_sequence SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED

PG15 introduces `CLUSTER` commands for partitioned tables. Similar to a
`CLUSTER` command with no supplied table names, these commands also can
not be run inside transaction blocks and therefore can not be propagated
in a distributed transaction block with ease. Therefore we raise warnings.

DESCRIPTION: Add a rebalancer that uses background tasks for its
execution
Based on the baclground jobs and tasks introduced in #6296 we implement
a new rebalancer on top of the primitives of background execution. This
allows the user to initiate a rebalance and let Citus execute the long
running steps in the background until completion.
Users can invoke the new background rebalancer with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_start();`. It will output information on its job id and
how to track progress. Also it returns its job id for automation
purposes. If you simply want to wait till the rebalance is done you can
use `SELECT citus_rebalance_wait();`
A running rebalance can be canelled/stopped with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_stop();`.

The logical replication catchup part for shard splits and shard moves is
very similar. This abstracts most of that similarity away into a single
function. This also improves the logic for non blocking shard splits a
bit, by using faster foreign key creation. It also parallelizes index creation
which shard moves were already doing, but shard splits did not.
DESCRIPTION: Add infrastructure to run long running management operations in background
This infrastructure introduces the primitives of jobs and tasks.
A task consists of a sql statement and an owner. Tasks belong to a
Job and can depend on other tasks from the same job.
When there are either runnable or running tasks we would like to
make sure a bacgrkound task queue monitor process is running. A Task
could be in running state while there is actually no monitor present
due to a database restart or failover. Once the monitor starts it
will reset any running task to its runnable state.
To make sure only one background task queue monitor is ever running
at once it will acquire an advisory lock that self conflicts.
Once a task is done it will find all tasks depending on this task.
After checking that the task doesn't have unmet dependencies it will
transition the task from blocked to runnable state for the task to
be picked up on a subsequent task start.
Currently only one task can be running at a time. This can be
improved upon in later releases without changes to the higher level
API.
The initial goal for this background tasks is to allow a rebalance
to run in the background. This will be implemented in a subsequent PR.
Previously we would create foreign keys to reference table in an extra
fast way at the end of a shard move. This uses that same logic to also
do it for foreign keys between distributed tables.
Fixes#6141
Introduces a new GUC named citus.skip_constraint_validation, which basically skips constraint validation when set to on.
For some several places that we hack to skip the foreign key validation phase, now we use this GUC.
When introducing our overrides of pg_cancel_backend and
pg_terminate_backend we accidentally did that in such a way that we
cannot call the original pg_cancel_backend and pg_terminate_backend from
C anymore. This happened because we defined the exact same symbols in
our shared library as postgres does in its own binary.
This fixes that by using a different names for the C function than for
the SQL function.
Making this work in all upgrade and downgrade scenarios is not trivial
though, because we actually need to remove the C function definition.
Postgres errors in two different times when the symbol that a C function
wants to call is not defined in the library it expects it in:
1. When creating the SQL function definition
2. When calling the SQL function
Item 1 causes an issue when creating our extension for the first time.
We then go execute all the migrations that we have. So if the 11.0
migration contains a SQL function definition that still references the
pg_cancel_backend symbol, that migration will fail. This issue is solved
by actually changing the SQL definition in the old migration.
This is not enough to fix all issues though. Item 2 causes an issue
after an upgrade to 11.1, because it won't have the new definition of
the SQL function. This is solved by recreating the SQL functions in the
migration to 11.1. That way it gets the new definition.
Then finally there's the case of downgrades. To continue to make our
pg_cancel_backend SQL function work after downgrading, we will need to
make a patch release for 11.0 that includes the new citus_cancel_backend
symbol. This is done in a separate commit.
DESCRIPTION:
This PR adds support for 'Deferred Drop' and robust 'Shard Cleanup' for Splits.
Common Infrastructure
This PR introduces new common infrastructure so as any operation that wants robust cleanup of resources can register with the cleaner and have the resources cleaned appropriately based on a specified policy. 'Shard Split' is the first consumer using this new infrastructure.
Note : We only support adding 'shards' as resources to be cleaned-up right now but the framework will be extended to support other resources in future.
Deferred Drop for Split
Deferred Drop Support ensures that shards undergoing split are not dropped inline as part of operation but dropped later when no active read queries are running on shard. This helps with :
Avoids any potential deadlock scenarios that can cause long running Split operation to rollback.
Avoids Split operation blocking writes and then getting blocked (due to running queries on the shard) when trying to drop shards.
Deferred drop is the new default behavior going forward.
Shard Cleaner Extension
Shard Cleaner is a background task responsible for deferred drops in case of 'Move' operations.
The cleaner has been extended to ensure robust cleanup of shards (dummy shards and split children) in case of a failure based on the new infrastructure mentioned above. The cleaner also handles deferred drop for 'Splits'.
TESTING:
New test ''citus_split_shard_by_split_points_deferred_drop' to test deferred drop support.
New test 'failure_split_cleanup' to test shard cleanup with failures in different stages.
Update 'isolation_blocking_shard_split and isolation_non_blocking_shard_split' for deferred drop.
Added non-deferred drop version of existing tests : 'citus_split_shard_no_deferred_drop' and 'citus_non_blocking_splits_no_deferred_drop'
* Fix issue : 6109 Segfault or (assertion failure) is possible when using a SQL function
* DESCRIPTION: Ensures disallowing the usage of SQL functions referencing to a distributed table and prevents a segfault.
Using a SQL function may result in segmentation fault in some cases.
This change fixes the issue by throwing an error message when a SQL function cannot be handled.
Fixes#6109.

PG15 allows numeric scale to be negative or greater than precision. This
causes issues and we may end up routing queries to a wrong shard due to
differing hash results after rounding.
Formerly, when specifying NUMERIC(precision, scale), the scale had to be
in the range [0, precision], which was per SQL spec. PG15 extends the
range of allowed scales to [-1000, 1000].
A negative scale implies rounding before the decimal point. For
example, a column might be declared with a scale of -3 to round values
to the nearest thousand. Note that the display scale remains
non-negative, so in this case the display scale will be zero, and all
digits before the decimal point will be displayed.

Pre PG15, renaming child triggers on partitions is allowed. When
creating a trigger in a distributed parent partitioned table, the
triggers on the shards of the partitions have the same name with
the triggers on the corresponding parent shards of the parent
table. Therefore, they don't have the same appended shard id as
the shard id of the partition. Hence, when trying to rename a
child trigger on a partition of a distributed table, we can't
correctly find the triggers on the shards of the partition in
order to rename them since we append a different shard id to the
name of the trigger. Since we can't find the trigger we get a
misleading error of inexistent trigger.
In this commit we prohibit renaming child triggers on distributed
partitions altogether.

I intended to fix this with #6263, but the fix turned out to be
insufficient. This PR tries to address the issue by setting
distributedCommandOriginator correctly in more situations. However, even
with this change it's still possible to reproduce the flaky test in CI.
In any case this should fix at least some instances of this issue.
In passing this changes the isolation_citus_dist_activity test to allow
running it multiple times in a row.
pg_dist_node and pg_dist_colocation have a primary key index, not a replica identity index.
Citus catalog tables are created in public schema, which has replica identity index by default
as primary key index. Later the citus catalog tables are moved to pg_catalog schema.
During pg_upgrade, all tables are recreated, and given that pg_dist_colocation is found in
pg_catalog schema, it is recreated in that schema, and when it is recreated it doesn't
have a replica identity index, because catalog tables have no replica identity.
Further action:
Do we even need to acquire this lock on the primary key index?
Postgres doesn't acquire such locks on indexes before deleting catalog tuples.
Also, catalog tuples don't have replica identities by definition.
In commit 31faa88a4e I removed some features of the rebalance progress
monitor. I did this because the plan was to remove the foreground shard
rebalancer later in the PR that would add the background shard
rebalancer. So, I didn't want to spend time fixing something that we
would throw away anyway.
As it turns out we're not removing the foreground shard rebalancer after
all, so it made sens to fix the stuff that I broke. This PR does that.
For the most part this commit reverts the changes in commit 31faa88a4e.
It's not a full revert though, because it keeps the improved tests and
the changes to `citus_move_shard_placement`.
Before, this was the default mode for CustomScan providers.
Now, the default is to assume that they can't project.
This causes performance penalties due to adding unnecessary
Result nodes.
Hence we use the newly added flag, CUSTOMPATH_SUPPORT_PROJECTION
to get it back to how it was.
In PG15 support branch we created explain functions to ignore
the new Result nodes, so we undo that in this commit.

The reason for this is that citus_dist_stat_activity sometimes shows the
query that it uses itself to get the data from pg_stat_activity. This is
actually a bug, because it's a worker query and thus shouldn't show up
there. To try and solve this bug, we remove two small opportunities for a
race condition. These race conditions could happen when the backenddata
was marked as active, but the distributedCommandOriginator was not set
correctly yet/anymore. There was an opportunity for this to happen both
during connection start and shutdown.
We currently do a `pg_relation_total_size('t1') + pg_relation_total_size('t2') + ..` on shard lists, especially when rebalancing the shards. This in some cases goes huge. With this PR, we basically use a SUM for all table sizes, instead of using thousands of pluses.
* Alter_distributed_table colocateWith:none bug fix for partitioned tables.

Postgres supports JSON_TABLE feature on PG 15.
We treat JSON_TABLE the same as correlated functions (e.g., recurring tuples).
In the end, for multi-shard JSON_TABLE commands, we apply the same
restrictions as reference tables (e.g., cannot be in the outer part of
an outer join etc.)

generated columns are silently dropped with the original column.

Using binary encoding can save a lot of CPU cycles, both on the sender
and on the receiver. Since the walsender and walreceiver processes are
single threaded, this can matter a lot for the throughput if they are
bottlenecked on CPU.
This feature is only available in PG14, not PG13. It should be safe to
always enable because it's only used for types that support binary
encoding according to the PG docs:
> Even when this option is enabled, only data types that have binary
> send and receive functions will be transferred in binary.
But in case it causes problems, it can still be disabled by setting
`citus.enable_binary_protocol` to `false`.
This removes some warnings that are present when building on Ubuntu 22.04.
It removes warnings on PG13 + OpenSSL 3.0. OpenSSL 3.0 has marked some
functions that we use as deprecated, but we want to continue support OpenSSL
1.0.1 for the time being too. This indicates that to OpenSSL 3.0, so it doesn't
show warnings.
We're in the processes of totally changing the shard rebalancer
experience and infrastructure. Soon the shard rebalancer will include
retries, crash recovery and support for running in the background.
These improvements come at a cost though, the way the
get_rebalance_progress UDF currently works is very hard to replicate
with this new structure. This is mostly because the old behaviour
doesn't really make sense anymore with this new infrastructure. A new
and better way to track the progress will be included as part of the new
infrastructure.
This PR is in preparation of the new code rebalancer experience.
It changes the get_rebalance_progress UDF to only display the moves that
are in progress at the moment, not the ones that happened in the past or
that are planned in the future. Another option would have been to
completely remove the current get_rebalance_progress functionality and
point people to the new way of tracking progress. But old blogposts
still reference the old UDF and users might have some automation on top
of it. Showing the progress of the current moves is fairly simple to
achieve, even with the new infrastructure.
So this PR is a kind of compromise: It doesn't have complete feature
parity with the old get_rebalance_progress, but the most common use
cases will still work.
There's also an advantage of the change: You can now see progress of
shard moves that were triggered by calling citus_move_shard_placement
manually. Instead of only being able to see progress of moves that were
initiated using get_rebalance_table_shards.

DESCRIPTION: Fix reference table lock contention
Dropping and creating reference tables unintentionally blocked on each other due to the use of an ExclusiveLock for both the Drop and conditionally copying existing reference tables to (new) nodes.
The patch does the following:
- Lower lock lever for dropping (reference) tables to `ShareLock` so they don't self conflict
- Treat reference tables and distributed tables equally and acquire the colocation lock when dropping any table that is in a colocation group
- Perform the precondition check for copying reference tables twice, first time with a lower lock that doesn't conflict with anything. Could have been a NoLock, however, in preparation for dropping a colocation group, it is an `AccessShareLock`
During normal operation the first check will always pass and we don't have to escalate that lock. Making it that we won't be blocked on adding and remove reference tables. Only after a node addition the first `create_reference_table` will still need to acquire an `ExclusiveLock` on the colocation group to perform the copy.
This is a refactoring PR that starts using our new hash table creation
helper function. It adds a few more macros for ease of use, because C
doesn't have default arguments. It also adds a macro to check if a
struct contains automatic padding bytes. No struct that is hashed using
tag_hash should have automatic padding bytes, because those bytes are
undefined and thus using them to create a hash will result in undefined
behaviour (usually a random hash).
**Intro**
This adds support to Citus to change the CPU priority values of
backends. This is created with two main usecases in mind:
1. Users might want to run the logical replication part of the shard moves
or shard splits at a higher speed than they would do by themselves.
This might cause some small loss of DB performance for their regular
queries, but this is often worth it. During high load it's very possible
that the logical replication WAL sender is not able to keep up with the
WAL that is generated. This is especially a big problem when the
machine is close to running out of disk when doing a rebalance.
2. Users might have certain long running queries that they don't impact
their regular workload too much.
**Be very careful!!!**
Using CPU priorities to control scheduling can be helpful in some cases
to control which processes are getting more CPU time than others.
However, due to an issue called "[priority inversion][1]" it's possible that
using CPU priorities together with the many locks that are used within
Postgres cause the exact opposite behavior of what you intended. This
is why this PR only allows the PG superuser to change the CPU priority
of its own processes. Currently it's not recommended to set `citus.cpu_priority`
directly. Currently the only recommended interface for users is the setting
called `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`. This setting
controls CPU priority for a very limited set of processes (the logical
replication senders). So, the dangers of priority inversion are also limited
with when using it for this usecase.
**Background**
Before reading the rest it's important to understand some basic
background regarding process CPU priorities, because they are a bit
counter intuitive. A lower priority value, means that the process will
be scheduled more and whatever it's doing will thus complete faster. The
default priority for processes is 0. Valid values are from -20 to 19
inclusive. On Linux a larger difference between values of two processes
will result in a bigger difference in percentage of scheduling.
**Handling the usecases**
Usecase 1 can be achieved by setting `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`
to the priority value that you want it to have. It's necessary to set
this both on the workers and the coordinator. Example:
```
citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders = -10
```
Usecase 2 can with this PR be achieved by running the following as
superuser. Note that this is only possible as superuser currently
due to the dangers mentioned in the "Be very carefull!!!" section.
And although this is possible it's **NOT** recommended:
```sql
ALTER USER background_job_user SET citus.cpu_priority = 5;
```
**OS configuration**
To actually make these settings work well it's important to run Postgres
with more a more permissive value for the 'nice' resource limit than
Linux will do by default. By default Linux will not allow a process to
set its priority lower than it currently is, even if it was lower when
the process originally started. This capability is necessary to reset
the CPU priority to its original value after a transaction finishes.
Depending on how you run Postgres this needs to be done in one of two
ways:
If you use systemd to start Postgres all you have to do is add a line
like this to the systemd service file:
```conf
LimitNice=+0 # the + is important, otherwise its interpreted incorrectly as 20
```
If that's not the case you'll have to configure `/etc/security/limits.conf`
like so, assuming that you are running Postgres as the `postgres` OS user:
```
postgres soft nice 0
postgres hard nice 0
```
Finally you'd have add the following line to `/etc/pam.d/common-session`
```
session required pam_limits.so
```
These settings would allow to change the priority back after setting it
to a higher value.
However, to actually allow you to set priorities even lower than the
default priority value you would need to change the values in the
config to something lower than 0. So for example:
```conf
LimitNice=-10
```
or
```
postgres soft nice -10
postgres hard nice -10
```
If you use WSL2 you'll likely have to do another thing. You have to
open a new shell, because when PAM is only used during login, and
WSL2 doesn't actually log you in. You can force a login like this:
```
sudo su $USER --shell /bin/bash
```

The long description of the `citus.distributed_deadlock_detection_factor`
setting was incorrectly stating that 1000 would disable it. Instead -1
is the value that disables distributed deadlock detection.
When introducing non-blocking shard split functionality it was based
heavily on the non-blocking shard moves. However, differences between
usage was slightly to big to be able to reuse the existing functions
easily. So, most logical replication code was simply copied to dedicated
shard split functions and modified for that purpose.
This PR tries to create a more generic logical replication
infrastructure that can be used by both shard splits and shard moves.
There's probably more code sharing possible in the future, but I believe
this is at least a good start and addresses the lowest hanging fruit.
This also adds a CreateSimpleHash function that makes creating the
most common type of hashmap common.
When using `citus.replicate_reference_tables_on_activate = off`,
reference tables need to be replicated later. This can be done using the
`replicate_reference_tables()` UDF. However, this function only allowed
blocking replication. This changes the function to default to logical
replication instead, and allows choosing any of our existing shard
transfer modes.
DESCRIPTION: Use faster custom copy logic for non-blocking shard moves
Non-blocking shard moves consist of two main phases:
1. Initial data copy
2. Catchup phase
This changes the first of these phases significantly. Previously we used the
copy logic provided by postgres subscriptions. This meant we didn't have
to implement it ourselves, but it came with the downside of little control.
When implementing shard splits we needed more control to even make it
work, so we implemented our own logic for copying data between nodes.
This PR starts using that logic for non-blocking shard moves. Doing so
has four main advantages:
1. It uses COPY in binary format when possible, which is cheaper to encode
and decode. Furthermore it very often results in less data that needs to
be sent over the network.
2. It allows us to create the primary key (or other replica identity) after doing
the initial data copy. This should give some speed up over the total run,
because creating an index is bulk is much faster than incrementally building it.
3. It doesn't require a replication slot per parallel copy. Increasing the maximum
number of replication slots uses resources in postgres, even if they are not used.
So reducing the number of replication slots that shard moves need is nice.
4. Logical replication table_sync workers are slow to start up, so if lots of shards
need to be copied that can make it quite slow. This can happen easily when
combining Postgres partitioning with Citus.
The new shard copy code that was created for shard splits has some
advantages over the old shard copy code. The old code was using
worker_append_table_to_shard, which wrote to disk twice. And it also
didn't use binary copy when that was possible. Both of these issues
were fixed in the new copy code. This PR starts using this new copy
logic also for shard moves, not just for shard splits.
On my local machine I created a single shard table like this.
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a) SELECT i, i from generate_series(1, 100000000) i;
```
I then turned `fsync` off to make sure I wasn't bottlenecked by disk.
Finally I moved this shard between nodes with `citus_move_shard_placement`
with `block_writes`.
Before this PR a move took ~127s, after this PR it took only ~38s. So for this
small test this resulted in spending ~70% less time.
And I also tried the same test for a table that contained large strings:
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint, content text);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a, content) SELECT i, i, 'aunethautnehoautnheaotnuhetnohueoutnehotnuhetncouhaeohuaeochgrhgd.athbetndairgexdbuhaobulrhdbaetoausnetohuracehousncaoehuesousnaceohuenacouhancoexdaseohusnaetobuetnoduhasneouhaceohusnaoetcuhmsnaetohuacoeuhebtokteaoshetouhsanetouhaoug.lcuahesonuthaseauhcoerhuaoecuh.lg;rcydabsnetabuesabhenth' from generate_series(1, 20000000) i;
```
While testing 5670dffd33, I realized
that we have a missing RecordNonDistTableAccessesForTask() for
local utility commands.
Although we don't have to record the relation access for local
only cases, we really want to keep the behaviour for scale-out
be the same with single node on all aspects. We wouldn't want
any single node complex transaction to work on single machine,
but not on multi node cluster. Hence, we apply the same restrictions.
For example, on a distributed cluster, the following errors, and
after this commit this errors locally as well
```SQL
CREATE TABLE ref(a int primary key);
INSERT INTO ref VALUES (1);
CREATE TABLE dist(a int REFERENCES ref(a));
SELECT create_reference_table('ref');
SELECT create_distributed_table('dist', 'a');
BEGIN;
SELECT * FROM dist;
TRUNCATE ref CASCADE;
ERROR: cannot execute DDL on table "ref" because there was a parallel SELECT access to distributed table "dist" in the same transaction
HINT: Try re-running the transaction with "SET LOCAL citus.multi_shard_modify_mode TO 'sequential';"
COMMIT;
```
We also add the comprehensive test suite and run the same locally.
Code snippet in Makefile was blocking Citus build when USE_PGXS flag was set. This was included for port to FSPG but is not needed for Citus engine and can be safely removed.
Reported bug #5803 shows that we are currently not sending the IN clause to our planner for columnar. This PR fixes it by checking for ScalarArrayOpExpr in ExtractPushdownClause so that we do not skip it. Also added a test case for this new addition.
