The file handling the utility functions (DDL) for citus organically grew over time and became unreasonably large. This refactor takes that file and refactored the functionality into separate files per command. Initially modeled after the directory and file layout that can be found in postgres.
Although the size of the change is quite big there are barely any code changes. Only one two functions have been added for readability purposes:
- PostProcessIndexStmt which is extracted from PostProcessUtility
- PostProcessAlterTableStmt which is extracted from multi_ProcessUtility
A README.md has been added to `src/backend/distributed/commands` describing the contents of the module and every file in the module.
We need more documentation around the overloading of the COPY command, for now the boilerplate has been added for people with better knowledge to fill out.
Drop schema command fails in mx mode if there
is a partitioned table with active partitions.
This is due to fact that sql drop trigger receives
all the dropped objects including partitions. When
we call drop table on parent partition, it also drops
the partitions on the mx node. This causes the drop
table command on partitions to fail on mx node because
they are already dropped when the partition parent was
dropped.
With this work we did not require the table to exist on
worker_drop_distributed_table.
This commit uses *_walker instead of *_mutator for performance reasons.
Given that we're only updating a functionId in the tree, the approach
seems fine.
This commit by default enables hiding shard names on MX workers
by simple replacing `pg_table_is_visible()` calls with
`citus_table_is_visible()` calls on the MX worker nodes. The latter
function filters out tables that are known to be shards.
The main motivation of this change is a better UX. The functionality
can be opted out via a GUC.
We also added two views, namely citus_shards_on_worker and
citus_shard_indexes_on_worker such that users can query
them to see the shards and their corresponding indexes.
We also added debug messages such that the filtered tables can
be interactively seen by setting the level to DEBUG1.
Add ability to understand whether a table is a
known shard on MX workers. Note that this is only useful
and applicable for hiding shards on MX worker nodes given
that we can have metadata only there.
* Change worker_hash_partition_table() such that the
divergence between Citus planner's hashing and
worker_hash_partition_table() becomes the same.
* Rename single partitioning to single range partitioning.
* Add single hash repartitioning. Basically, logical planner
treats single hash and range partitioning almost equally.
Physical planner, on the other hand, treats single hash and
dual hash repartitioning almost equally (except for JoinPruning).
* Add a new GUC to enable this feature
- changes in ruleutils_11.c is reflected
- vacuum statement api change is handled. We now allow
multi-table vacuum commands.
- some other function header changes are reflected
- api conflicts between PG11 and earlier versions
are handled by adding shims in version_compat.h
- various regression tests are fixed due output and
functionality in PG1
- no change is made to support new features in PG11
they need to be handled by new commit
After this change all the logic related to shard data fetch logic
will be removed. Planner won't plan any ShardFetchTask anymore.
Shard fetch related steps in real time executor and task-tracker
executor have been removed.
* Don't use expressions inside compound statements
* Don't depend on __builtin_constant_p
* Remove reliance on S_ISLNK
* Replace use of __func__: older mcvs doesn't support this builtin
The macro we were using to detect strtoull isn't set on Windows, and
just in case there are differences use a portable function from PG
instead of calling strtoull directly.
This commit introduces a new GUC to limit the intermediate
result size which we handle when we use read_intermediate_result
function for CTEs and complex subqueries.
Postgres provides OS agnosting formatting macros for
formatting 64 bit numbers. Replaced %ld %lu with
INT64_FORMAT and UINT64_FORMAT respectively.
Also found some incorrect usages of formatting
flags and fixed them.
Store pointers to shared hashes in process-local variables. Previously
pointers to shared hashes were put into shared memory. This causes
problems on EXEC_BACKEND because everybody calls execve and receives a
brand new address space; the shared hash will be in a different place
for every backend. (normally we call fork, which gives you a copy of the
address space, so these pointers remain constant)
It's possible to build INSERT SELECT queries which include implicit
casts, currently we attempt to support these by adding explicit casts to
the SELECT query, but this sometimes crashes because we don't update all
nodes with the new types. (SortClauses, for instance)
This commit removes those explicit casts and passes an unmodified SELECT
query to the COPY executor (how we implement INSERT SELECT under the
scenes). In lieu of those cases, COPY has been given some extra logic to
inspect queries, notice that the types don't line up with the table it's
supposed to be inserting into, and "manually" casting every tuple before
sending them to workers.
maxTaskStringSize determines the size of worker query string.
It was originally hard coded to a specific value. This has caused
issues at some users. Since it determines initial shared memory
allocation, we did not want to set it to an arbitrary higher number.
Instead made it configurable.
This commit introduces a new GUC variable max_task_string_size
Changes in this variable requires restart to be in effect.
Comes with a few changes:
- Change the signature of some functions to accept groupid
- InsertShardPlacementRow
- DeleteShardPlacementRow
- UpdateShardPlacementState
- NodeHasActiveShardPlacements returns true if the group the node is a
part of has any active shard placements
- TupleToShardPlacement now returns ShardPlacements which have NULL
nodeName and nodePort.
- Populate (nodeName, nodePort) when creating ShardPlacements
- Disallow removing a node if it contains any shard placements
- DeleteAllReferenceTablePlacementsFromNode matches based on group. This
doesn't change behavior for now (while there is only one node per
group), but means in the future callers should be careful about
calling it on a secondary node, it'll delete placements on the primary.
- Create concept of a GroupShardPlacement, which represents an actual
tuple in pg_dist_placement and is distinct from a ShardPlacement,
which has been resolved to a specific node. In the future
ShardPlacement should be renamed to NodeShardPlacement.
- Create some triggers which allow existing code to continue to insert
into and update pg_dist_shard_placement as if it still existed.
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.
This change adds support for serial columns to be used with MX tables.
Prior to this change, sequences of serial columns were created in all
workers (for being able to create shards) but never used. With MX, we
need to set the sequences so that sequences in each worker create
unique values. This is done by setting the MINVALUE, MAXVALUE and
START values of the sequence.
With this change, we now push down foreign key constraints created during CREATE TABLE
statements. We also start to send foreign constraints during shard move along with
other DDL statements
Adds support for PostgreSQL 9.6 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
file and refactoring the out/readfuncs code to flexibly support the
old-style copy/pasted out/readfuncs (prior to 9.6) or use extensible
node APIs (in 9.6 and higher).
Most version-specific code within this change is only needed to set new
fields in the AggRef nodes we build for aggregations. Version-specific
test output files were added in certain cases, though in most they were
not necessary. Each such file begins by e.g. printing the major version
in order to clarify its purpose.
The comment atop citus_nodes.h details how to add support for new nodes
for when that becomes necessary.
This change adds the required infrastructure about metadata snapshot from MX
codebase into Citus, mainly metadata_sync.c file and master_metadata_snapshot UDF.
Related to #786
This change adds the `pg_dist_node` table that contains the information
about the workers in the cluster, replacing the previously used
`pg_worker_list.conf` file (or the one specified with `citus.worker_list_file`).
Upon update, `pg_worker_list.conf` file is read and `pg_dist_node` table is
populated with the file's content. After that, `pg_worker_list.conf` file
is renamed to `pg_worker_list.conf.obsolete`
For adding and removing nodes, the change also includes two new UDFs:
`master_add_node` and `master_remove_node`, which require superuser
permissions.
'citus.worker_list_file' guc is kept for update purposes but not used after the
update is finished.
This commit enables to create different worker and master temporary folders.
This change is important for citus-mx on task-tracker execution. In simple words,
on citus-mx, the worker could actually be reponsible for the master tasks as well.
Prior to this change, both master and worker logic on task-tracker executor was
accessing and using the same files for different purposes which was dangerous on
certain cases (i.e., when task_tracker_delay is low).
I've been seeing warnings on OS X/clang for a while about these lines
and finally got tired of it. The main problem is that PRIu64 expects a
uint64_t but we were passing a uint64 (a PostgreSQL-defined type). In
PostgreSQL 9.5, we now have INT64_MODIFIER, so can build our own zero-
padded unsigned 64-bit int format modifier that expects a PostgreSQL-
provided uint64 type.
This simplifies the code slightly (no more ifdefs) and gets rid of the
warning that's been annoying me since April (my TODO creation time).
We remove schema name parameter from worker_fetch_foreign_file and
worker_fetch_regular_table functions. We now send schema name
concatanated with table name.
Allows the use of modification commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) within
transaction blocks (delimited by BEGIN and ROLLBACK/COMMIT), so long as
all modifications hit a subset of nodes involved in the first such com-
mand in the transaction. This does not circumvent the requirement that
each individual modification command must still target a single shard.
For instance, after sending BEGIN, a user might INSERT some rows to a
shard replicated on two nodes. Subsequent modifications can hit other
shards, so long as they are on one or both of these nodes.
SAVEPOINTs are supported, though if the user actually attempts to send
a ROLLBACK command that specifies a SAVEPOINT they will receive an
ERROR at the end of the topmost transaction.
Placements are only marked inactive if at least one replica succeeds
in a transaction where others fail. Non-atomic behavior is possible if
the shard targeted by the initial modification within a transaction has
a higher replication factor than another shard within the same block
and a node with the latter shard has a failure during the COMMIT phase.
Other methods of denoting transaction blocks (multi-statement commands
sent all at once and functions written in e.g. PL/pgSQL or other such
languages) are not presently supported; their treatment remains the
same as before.
Fixes#555
Before this change, we were resolving HLL function and type Oid without qualified name.
Now we find the schema name where HLL objects are stored and generate qualified names for
each objects.
Similar fix is also applied for cstore_table_size function call.
Fixes#565Fixes#626
To add schema support to citus, we need to schema-prefix all table names, object names etc.
in the queries sent to worker nodes. However; query deparsing is not available for most of
DDL commands, therefore it is not easy to generate worker query in the master node.
As a solution we are sending schema names along with shard id and query to run to worker
nodes with worker_apply_shard_ddl_command.
To not break \STAGE command we pass public schema as paramater while calling
worker_apply_shard_ddl_command from there. This will not cause problem if user uses \STAGE
in different schema because passes schema name is used only if there is no schema name is
given in the query.
Fixes#78
With this change, it is possible to append a table in any schema to shard. The function
master_append_table_to_shard now supports schema names.
Now, we can copy to an append-partitioned distributed relation from
any worker node by providing master options such as;
COPY relation_name FROM file_path WITH (delimiter '|', master_host 'localhost', master_port 5432);
where master_port is optional and default is 5432.
That's important because ownership of relations implies special
privileges. Without this change, a distributed table can be accessible
by a table's owner, but a shard created by another user might not.
Some small parts of citus currently require superuser privileges; which
is obviously not desirable for production scenarios. Run these small
parts under superuser privileges (we use the extension owner) to avoid
that.
This does not yet coordinate grants between master and workers. Thus it
allows to create shards, load data, and run queries as a non-superuser,
but it is not easily possible to allow differentiated accesses to
several users.
So far we've always used libpq defaults when connecting to workers; bar
special environment variables being set that'll always be the user that
started the server. That's not desirable because it prevents using
users with fewer privileges.
Thus change the various APIs creating connections to workers to always
use usernames. That means:
1) MultiClientConnect() needs to, optionally, accept a username
2) GetOrEstablishConnection(), including the underlying cache, need to
use the current user as part of the connection cache key. That way
connections for separate users are distinct, and we always use one
with the correct authorization.
3) The task tracker needs to keep track of the username associated with
a task, so it can use it when establishing connections outside the
originating session.
Prior to this change, it was not possible to use UDFs in repartitioned
subqueries. The reason is that we were setting the search path explicitly
and omiting public schema from that path.
This change adds the public schema to the explicitly set search path.
- Flexed the check which prevented append operation cstore tables
since its storage type is not SHARD_STORAGE_TABLE.
- Used process utility function to perform copy operation in
worker_append_table_to shard() instead of directly calling
postgresql DoCopy().
- Removed the additional check in master_create_empty_shard() function.
This check was redundant and erroneous since it was called after
CheckDistributedTable() call.
- Modified WorkerTableSize() function to retrieve cstore table shard
size correctly.
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.
