This commit checks the connection status right after any IO happens
on the socket.
This is necessary since before this commit we didn't pass any information
to the higher level functions whether we're done with the connection
(e.g., no IO required anymore) or an errors happened during the IO.
VLAs aren't supported by Visual Studio.
- Remove all existing instances of VLAs.
- Add a flag, -Werror=vla, which makes gcc refuse to compile if we add
VLAs in the future.
We shouldn't return in middle of a PG_TRY() block because if we do, we won't reset PG_exception_stack, and later when a re-throw tries to jump to the jump-point which was active in this PG_TRY() block, it seg-faults.
We used to return in middle of PG_TRY() block in WaitForConnections() where we checked for cancellations. Whenever cancellations were caught here, Citus crashed. And example was reported by @onderkalaci at #1903.
We sent multiple commands to worker when starting a transaction.
Previously we only checked the result of the first command that
is transaction 'BEGIN' which always succeeds. Any failure on
following commands were not checked.
With this commit, we make sure all command results are checked.
If there is any error we report the first error found.
When a NULL connection is provided to PQerrorMessage(), the
returned error message is a static text. Modifying that static
text, which doesn't necessarly be in a writeable memory, is
dangreous and might cause a segfault.
This commit adds distributed transaction id infrastructure in
the scope of distributed deadlock detection.
In general, the distributed transaction id consists of a tuple
in the form of: `(databaseId, initiatorNodeIdentifier, transactionId,
timestamp)`.
Briefly, we add a shared memory block on each node, which holds some
information per backend (i.e., an array `BackendData backends[MaxBackends]`).
Later, on each coordinated transaction, Citus sends
`SELECT assign_distributed_transaction_id()` right after `BEGIN`.
For that backend on the worker, the distributed transaction id is set to
the values assigned via the function call.
The aim of the above is to correlate the transactions on the coordinator
to the transactions on the worker nodes.
Now that there's no blocking libpq callers left, default to using
non-blocking mode in connection_management.c. This has two
advantages:
1) Blockiness doesn't have to frequently be reset, simplifying code
2) Prevents accidental use of blocking libpq functions, since they'll
frequently return 'need IO'
Adds support for PostgreSQL 10 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
and updating all API usages to conform with changes in PostgreSQL 10.
Most changes are fairly minor but they are numerous. One particular
obstacle was the change in \d behavior in PostgreSQL 10's psql; I had
to add SQL implementations (views, mostly) to mimic the pre-10 output.
With this commit, we started to send explain queries within a savepoint. After
running explain query, we rollback to savepoint. This saves us from side effects
of EXPLAIN ANALYZE on DML queries.
Previously we'd segfault in PQisnonblocking() which, contrary to other
libpq calls, doesn't handle a NULL PQconn (because there'd be no
appropriate return value for that).

A small refactor which pulls some code out of `RecoverWorkerTransactions`
and into `remote_commands.c`. This code block currently only occurs in
`RecoverWorkerTransactions` but will be useful to other functions
shortly.
Unfortunately we couldn't call it `ExecuteRemoteCommand`, that name was
already taken.
This includes basic infrastructure for logging of commands sent to
remote/worker nodes. Note that this has no effect as of yet, since no
callers are converted to the new infrastructure.
