This is necessary for multi-row INSERTs for the same reasons we use it
in e.g. UPSERTs: if the range table list has more than one entry, then
PostgreSQL's deparse logic requires that vars be prefixed by the name
of their corresponding range table entry. This of course doesn't affect
single-row INSERTs, but since multi-row INSERTs have a VALUE RTE, they
were affected.
The piece of ruleutils which builds range table names wasn't modified
to handle shard extension; instead UPSERT/INSERT INTO ... SELECT added
an alias to the RTE. When present, this alias is favored. Doing the
same in the multi-row INSERT case fixes RETURNING for such commands.
This is a pretty substantial refactoring of the existing modify path
within the router executor and planner. In particular, we now hunt for
all VALUES range table entries in INSERT statements and group the rows
contained therein by shard identifier. These rows are stashed away for
later in "ModifyRoute" elements. During deparse, the appropriate RTE
is extracted from the Query and its values list is replaced by these
rows before any SQL is generated.
In this way, we can create multiple Tasks, but only one per shard, to
piecemeal execute a multi-row INSERT. The execution of jobs containing
such tasks now exclusively go through the "multi-router executor" which
was previously used for e.g. INSERT INTO ... SELECT.
By piggybacking onto that executor, we participate in ongoing trans-
actions, get rollback-ability, etc. In short order, the only remaining
use of the "single modify" router executor will be for bare single-
row INSERT statements (i.e. those not in a transaction).
This change appropriately handles deferred pruning as well as master-
evaluated functions.
This commit adds INSERT INTO ... SELECT feature for distributed tables.
We implement INSERT INTO ... SELECT by pushing down the SELECT to
each shard. To compute that we use the router planner, by adding
an "uninstantiated" constraint that the partition column be equal to a
certain value. standard_planner() distributes that constraint to all
the tables where it knows how to push the restriction safely. An example
is that the tables that are connected via equi joins.
The router planner then iterates over the target table's shards,
for each we replace the "uninstantiated" restriction, with one that
PruneShardList() handles. Do so by replacing the partitioning qual
parameter added in multi_planner() with the current shard's
actual boundary values. Also, add the current shard's boundary values to the
top level subquery to ensure that even if the partitioning qual is
not distributed to all the tables, we never run the queries on the shards
that don't match with the current shard boundaries. Finally, perform the
normal shard pruning to decide on whether to push the query to the
current shard or not.
We do not support certain SQLs on the subquery, which are described/commented
on ErrorIfInsertSelectQueryNotSupported().
We also added some locking on the router executor. When an INSERT/SELECT command
runs on a distributed table with replication factor >1, we need to ensure that
it sees the same result on each placement of a shard. So we added the ability
such that router executor takes exclusive locks on shards from which the SELECT
in an INSERT/SELECT reads in order to prevent concurrent changes. This is not a
very optimal solution, but it's simple and correct. The
citus.all_modifications_commutative can be used to avoid aggressive locking.
An INSERT/SELECT whose filters are known to exclude any ongoing writes can be
marked as commutative. See RequiresConsistentSnapshot() for the details.
We also moved the decison of whether the multiPlan should be executed on
the router executor or not to the planning phase. This allowed us to
integrate multi task router executor tasks to the router executor smoothly.
This adds support for SERIAL/BIGSERIAL column types. Because we now can
evaluate functions on the master (during execution), adding this is a
matter of ensuring the table creation step works properly.
To accomplish this, I've added some logic to detect sequences owned by
a table (i.e. those related to its columns). Simply creating a sequence
and using it in a default value is insufficient; users who do so must
ensure the sequence is owned by the column using it.
Fortunately, this is exactly what SERIAL and BIGSERIAL do, which is the
use case we're targeting with this feature. While testing this, I found
that worker_apply_shard_ddl_command actually adds shard identifiers to
sequence names, though I found no places that use or test this path. I
removed that code so that sequence names are not mutated and will match
those used by a SERIAL default value expression.
Our use of the new-to-9.5 CREATE SEQUENCE IF NOT EXISTS syntax means we
are dropping support for 9.4 (which is being done regardless, but makes
this change simpler). I've removed 9.4 from the Travis build matrix.
Some edge cases are possible in ALTER SEQUENCE, COPY FROM (on workers),
and CREATE SEQUENCE OWNED BY. I've added errors for each so that users
understand when and why certain operations are prohibited.
- Enables using VOLATILE functions (like nextval()) in INSERT queries
- Enables using STABLE functions (like now()) targetLists and joinTrees
UPDATE and INSERT can now contain non-immutable functions. INSERT can contain any kind of
expression, while UPDATE can contain any STABLE function, so long as a Var is not passed
into the STABLE function, even indirectly. UPDATE TagetEntry's can now also include Vars.
There's an exception, CASE/COALESCE statements may not contain mutable functions.
Functions calls in master_modify_multiple_shards are also evaluated.
Since we now short-circuit on certain remote errors, we want to ensure
we preserve the old behavior of not modifying any placement states if
a non-short-circuiting error occurs on all placements.
Fixes#271
This change sets ShardIds and JobIds for each test case. Before this change,
when a new test that somehow increments Job or Shard IDs is added, then
the tests after the new test should be updated.
ShardID and JobID sequences are set at the beginning of each file with the
following commands:
```
ALTER SEQUENCE pg_catalog.pg_dist_shardid_seq RESTART 290000;
ALTER SEQUENCE pg_catalog.pg_dist_jobid_seq RESTART 290000;
```
ShardIds and JobIds are multiples of 10000. Exceptions are:
- multi_large_shardid: shardid and jobid sequences are set to much larger values
- multi_fdw_large_shardid: same as above
- multi_join_pruning: Causes a race condition with multi_hash_pruning since
they are run in parallel.
Allow references to columns in UPDATE statements
Queries like "UPDATE tbl SET column = column + 1" are now allowed, so long as you don't use any IMMUTABLE functions.
- non-router plannable queries can be executed
by router executor if they satisfy the criteria
- router executor is removed from configuration,
now task executor can not be set to router
- removed some tests that error out for router executor
There already exist tests that locally embed knowledge about port
numbers, and there's more tests requiring that. Instead of copying
\set's to several tests, make these port number variables available to
all tests.
All citusdb references in
- extension, binary names
- file headers
- all configuration name prefixes
- error/warning messages
- some functions names
- regression tests
are changed to be citus.
This entirely removes any restriction on the type of partitioning
during DML planning and execution. Though there aren't actually any
technical limitations preventing DML commands against append- (or even
range-) partitioned tables, we had initially forbidden this, as any
future stage operation could cause shards to overlap, banning all
subsequent DML operations to partition values contained within more
than one shards. This ended up mostly restricting us, so we're now
removing that restriction.
