* Separate build of citus.so and citus_columnar.so.
Because columnar code is statically-linked to both modules, it doesn't
make sense to load them both at once.
A subsequent commit will make the modules entirely separate and allow
loading them both simultaneously.

* Separate citus and citus_columnar modules.
Now the modules are independent. Columnar can be loaded by itself, or
along with citus.

A write operation might trigger index deletion if index already had
dead entries for the key we are about to insert.
There are two ways of index deletion:
a) simple deletion
b) bottom-up deletion (>= pg14)
Since columnar_index_fetch_tuple never sets all_dead to true,
columnarAM doesn't ever expect to receive simple deletion requests
(columnar_index_delete_tuples) as we don't mark any index entries
as dead.
However, since columnarAM doesn't delete any dead entries via simple
deletion, postgres might ask for a more comprehensive deletion
(i.e.: bottom-up) at some point when pg >= 14.
So with this commit, we start gracefully ignoring bottom-up deletion
requests made to columnar_index_delete_tuples.
Given that users can anyway "VACUUM FULL" their columnar tables,
we don't see any problem in ignoring deletion requests.
Considering all code-paths that we might interact with a columnar table,
add `CheckCitusVersion` calls to tableAM callbacks:
- initializing table scan (`columnar_beginscan` & `columnar_index_fetch_begin`)
- setting a new filenode for a relation (storage initializiation or a table rewrite)
- truncating the storage
- inserting tuple (single and multi)
Also add `CheckCitusVersion` call to:
- drop hook (`ColumnarTableDropHook`)
- `alter_columnar_table_set` & `alter_columnar_table_reset` UDFs
Not flush pending writes if given tid belongs to a "flushed" or
"aborted" stripe write, or to an "in-progress" stripe write of
another backend.
That way, we would reduce the cases where we flush single-tuple
stripes during index scan.
To do that, we follow below steps for index look-up's:
- Do not flush any pending writes and do stripe metadata look-up for
given tid.
If tuple with tid is found, then no need to do another look-up
since we already found the tuple without needing to flush pending
writes.
- If tuple is not found without flushing pending writes, then we have two
scenarios:
- If given tid belongs to a pending write of my backend, then do stripe
metadata look-up for given tid. But this time first **flush any pending
writes**.
- Otherwise, just return false from `index_fetch_tuple` since flushing
pending writes wouldn't help.
Previously, for regular table scans, we were setting `RelOptInfo->partial_pathlist`
to `NIL` via `set_rel_pathlist_hook` to discard scan `Path`s that need to use any
parallel workers, this was working nicely.
However, when building indexes, this hook doesn't get called so we were not
able to prevent spawning parallel workers when building an index. For this
reason, 9b4dc2f804 added basic
implementation for `columnar_parallelscan_*` callbacks but also made some
changes to skip using those workers when building the index.
However, now that we are doing stripe reservation in two stages, we call
`heap_inplace_update` at some point to complete stripe reservation.
However, postgres throws an error if we call `heap_inplace_update` during
a parallel operation, even if we don't actually make use of those workers.
For this reason, with this pr, we make sure to not generate scan `Path`s that
need to use any parallel workers by using `get_relation_info_hook`.
This is indeed useful to prevent spawning parallel workers during index builds.
If it is certain that we will not use any `parallel_worker`s for a columnar table,
then stripe entries inserted by aborted transactions become visible to
`SnapshotAny` and that causes `REINDEX` to fail by throwing a duplicate key
error.
To fix that:
* consider three states for a stripe write operation:
"flushed", "aborted", or "in-progress",
* make sure to have a clear separation between them, and
* act according to those three states when reading from a columnar table
index_insert function now has a new parameter, indexUnchanged
This new macro give us the ability to use these new parameter for PG14 and they don't give the parameters for previous versions
Existing parameter is set to false

New macros: standard_ProcessUtility_compat, ProcessUtility_compat, ColumnarProcessUtility_compat, PrevProcessUtilityHook_compat
The functions now have a new bool parameter: readOnlyTree
These new macros give us the ability to use this new parameter for PG14 and it doesn't give the parameter for previous versions
In multi_ProcessUtility and ColumnarProcessUtility, before doing anything else, we check if readOnlyTree parameter is true and create a copy of pstmt
Existing readOnlyTree parameters are set to false since we already handle the read only case at multi_ProcessUtility and ColumnarProcessUtility

VacOptTernaryValue enum is renamed to VacOptValue.
In the enum there were three values, VACOPT_TERNARY_DEFAULT, VACOPT_TERNARY_DISABLED, and VACOPT_TERNARY_ENABLED
Now there are four values VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED, VACOPTVALUE_AUTO, VACOPTVALUE_DISABLED, and VACOPTVALUE_ENABLED
New macros are VacOptValue_compat, VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED_COMPAT, VACOPTVALUE_DISABLED_COMPAT, and VACOPTVALUE_ENABLED_COMPAT
The VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED_COMPAT matches VACOPT_TERNARY_DEFAULT and VACOPTVALUE_UNSPECIFIED. And there are no macro for VACOPTVALUE_AUTO.

Allow ColumnarScans to push down join quals by generating
parameterized paths. This significantly expands the utility of chunk
group filtering, making a ColumnarScan behave similar to an index when
on the inner of a nested loop join.
Also, evaluate all parameters on beginscan/rescan, which also works
for external parameters.
Fixes#4488.
Previously, we were doing `first_row_number` reservation for the first
row written to current `WriteState` but were doing `stripe_id`
reservation when flushing the `WriteState` and were inserting the
related record to `columnar.stripe` at that time as well.
However, inserting `columnar.stripe` record at flush-time is
problematic. This is because, as told in #5160, if relation has
any index-based constraints and if there are two concurrent
writes that are inserting conflicting key values for that constraint,
then postgres relies on `tableAM->fetch_index_tuple`
(=`columnar_fetch_index_tuple`) callback to return `true` when
indexAM is checking against possible constraint violations.
However, pending writes of other backends are not visible to concurrent
sessions in columnar since we were not inserting the stripe metadata
record until flushing the stripe.
With this commit, we split stripe reservation into two phases:
i) Reserve `stripe_id` and insert a "dummy" record to `columnar.stripe`
at the very same time we reserve `first_row_number`, i.e. when writing
the first row to the current `WriteState`.
ii) At flush time, do the storage level allocation and complete the
missing fields of the dummy record inserted into `columnar.stripe`
during i).
That way, any concurrent writes would be able to check against possible
constraint violations by using `SnapshotDirty` when scanning
`columnar.stripe`.
Note that `columnar_fetch_index_tuple` still wouldn't be able to fill
the output tupleslot for the requested tid but it would at least return
`true` for such index look-up's and we believe this should be sufficient
for the caller indexAM callback to make the concurrent writer block on
prior one.
That is how we fix#5160.
Only downside of reserving `stripe_id` at the same time we reserve
`first_row_number` is that now any aborted writes would also waste
some amount of `stripe_id` as in the case of `first_row_number` but
we are just wasting them one-by-one.
Considering the fact that we waste `first_row_number` by the amount
stripe row limit (=150k by default) in such cases, this shouldn't be
important at all.
Before starting to scan a columnar table, we always flush the pending
writes to disk.
However, we increment command counter after modifying metadata tables.
On the other hand, now that we _don't always use_ xact snapshot to scan
a columnar table, writes that we just flushed might not be visible to
the query that just flushed pending writes to disk since curcid of
provided snapshot would become smaller than the command id being used
when modifying metadata tables.
To give an example, before this change, below was a possible scenario
due to the changes that we made to use the correct snapshot.
```sql
CREATE TABLE t(a int, b int) USING columnar;
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO t VALUES (5, 10);
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬───┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼───┤
└───┴───┘
(0 rows)
SELECT * FROM t;
┌───┬────┐
│ a │ b │
├───┼────┤
│ 5 │ 10 │
└───┴────┘
(1 row)
```
In next commit, we will adjust curcid of the snapshot being used when
scanning the columnar table.
However, for index scan, snapshot is provided not when beginning scan
but within fetch-tuple call.
For this reason, start flushing pending writes in init_columnar_read_state
since this seem to be a prerequisite step that needs to be done before
scanning a columnar table regardless of the scan method being used.
All the callers except columnar_relation_copy_for_cluster were already
switching to right memory context when creating ColumnarReadState.
With this commit, we embed that logic into init_columnar_read_state
to avoid further such bugs.
That way, we start using the right memory context for
columnar_relation_copy_for_cluster too.
With this commit, we add (`CREATE INDEX` / `REINDEX`) `CONCURRENTLY` support for columnar tables.
For that, we implement `columnar_index_validate_scan` callback.
The reasoning behind the implementation is as follows:
* Postgres function `validate_index` provides all the TIDs that are currently in the
index to `columnar_index_validate_scan` callback via a `tupleSort` object..
* We start scanning the table by using `columnar_getnextslot` as usual.
Before moving forward, note that `columnar_getnextslot` guarantees
to return tuples in the order of their TIDs.
* For us to use during table scan, postgres provides a snapshot guaranteeing
that any tuples that are valid according to that snapshot but are not in the
index must be added to the index.
* Then for each tuple that we read from our table, we continue iterating
given `tupleSort` to find the first TID that is greater than or equal to our
tuple's TID.
If both TID's are equal to each other, then we skip the tuple since it's already
indexed.
If the TID that we read from tupleSort is greater then our tuple's TID, then
we decide to insert this tuple into index.
* Make VACUUM hint for upgrade scenario actually work
* Suggest using VACUUM if metapage doesn't exist
Plus, suggest upgrading sql version as another option.
* Always force read metapage block
* Fix two typos
* Columnar: introduce columnar storage API.
This new API is responsible for the low-level storage details of
columnar; translating large reads and writes into individual block
reads and writes that respect the page headers and emit WAL. It's also
responsible for the columnar metapage, resource reservations (stripe
IDs, row numbers, and data), and truncation.
This new API is not used yet, but will be used in subsequent
forthcoming commits.
* Columnar: add columnar_storage_info() for debugging purposes.
* Columnar: expose ColumnarMetadataNewStorageId().
* Columnar: always initialize metapage at creation time.
This avoids the complexity of dealing with tables where the metapage
has not yet been initialized.
* Columnar: columnar storage upgrade/downgrade UDFs.
Necessary upgrade/downgrade step so that new code doesn't see an old
metapage.
* Columnar: improve metadata.c comment.
* Columnar: make ColumnarMetapage internal to the storage API.
Callers should not have or need direct access to the metapage.
* Columnar: perform resource reservation using storage API.
* Columnar: implement truncate using storage API.
* Columnar: implement read/write paths with storage API.
* Columnar: add storage tests.
* Revert "Columnar: don't include stripe reservation locks in lock graph."
This reverts commit c3dcd6b9f8.
No longer needed because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrency for resource reservation.
* Columnar: remove unnecessary lock when reserving.
No longer necessary because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrent resource reservation.
* Add simple upgrade tests for storage/ branch
* fix multi_extension.out
