This PR makes all of the features open source that were previously only
available in Citus Enterprise.
Features that this adds:
1. Non blocking shard moves/shard rebalancer
(`citus.logical_replication_timeout`)
2. Propagation of CREATE/DROP/ALTER ROLE statements
3. Propagation of GRANT statements
4. Propagation of CLUSTER statements
5. Propagation of ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...
6. Optimization for COPY when loading JSON to avoid double parsing of
the JSON object (`citus.skip_jsonb_validation_in_copy`)
7. Support for row level security
8. Support for `pg_dist_authinfo`, which allows storing different
authentication options for different users, e.g. you can store
passwords or certificates here.
9. Support for `pg_dist_poolinfo`, which allows using connection poolers
in between coordinator and workers
10. Tracking distributed query execution times using
citus_stat_statements (`citus.stat_statements_max`,
`citus.stat_statements_purge_interval`,
`citus.stat_statements_track`). This is disabled by default.
11. Blocking tenant_isolation
12. Support for `sslkey` and `sslcert` in `citus.node_conninfo`
Columnar: support relation options with ALTER TABLE.
Use ALTER TABLE ... SET/RESET to specify relation options rather than
alter_columnar_table_set() and alter_columnar_table_reset().
Not only is this more ergonomic, but it also allows better integration
because it can be treated like DDL on a regular table. For instance,
citus can use its own ProcessUtility_hook to distribute the new
settings to the shards.
DESCRIPTION: Columnar: support relation options with ALTER TABLE.
Over time we have added significantly improved the support for objects to be propagated by Citus as to make scaling out the database more seamless. It became evident that there was a lot of code duplication that got into the codebase to implement the propagation.
This PR tries to reduce the amount of repeated code that is at most only slightly different. To make things worse, most of the differences were actually oversights instead of correct.
This Patch introduces 3 reusable sets of pre/post processing steps for respectively
- create
- alter
- drop
With the use of the common functionality we should have more coherent behaviour between different supported object by Citus.
Some steps either omit the Pre or Post processing step if they would not make sense to include.
All tests pass, only 1 test needed changing, foreign servers, as the dropping of foreign servers didn't implement support for dropping multiple foreign servers at once. Given the common approach correctly supports dropping of multiple objects, either distributed or not, the test that assumed it wouldn't work was now obsolete.
DESCRIPTION: Add GUC to control ddl creation behaviour in transactions
Historically we would _not_ propagate objects when we are in a transaction block. Creation of distributed tables would not always work in sequential mode, hence objects created in the same transaction as distributing a table that would use the just created object wouldn't work. The benefit was that the user could still benefit from parallelism.
Now that the creation of distributed tables is supported in sequential mode it would make sense for users to force transactional consistency of ddl commands for distributed tables. A transaction could switch more aggressively to sequential mode when creating new objects in a transaction.
We don't change the default behaviour just yet.
Also, many objects would not even propagate their creation when the transaction was already set to sequential, leaving the probability of a self deadlock. The new policy checks solve this discrepancy between objects as well.
With this commit, rebalancer backends are identified by application_name = citus_rebalancer
and the regular internal backends are identified by application_name = citus_internal
In addition to starting a new transaction, we also need to tell other
backends --including the ones spawned for connections opened to
localhost to build indexes on shards of this relation-- that concurrent
index builds can safely ignore us.
Normally, DefineIndex() only does that if index doesn't have any
predicates (i.e.: where clause) and no index expressions at all.
However, now that we already called standard process utility, index
build on the shell table is finished anyway.
The reason behind doing so is that we cannot guarantee not grabbing any
snapshots via adaptive executor, and the backends creating indexes on
local shards (if any) might block on waiting for current xact of the
current backend to finish, which would cause self deadlocks that are not
detectable.
Before that PR we were updating citus.pg_dist_object metadata, which keeps
the metadata related to objects on Citus, only on the coordinator node. In
order to allow using those object from worker nodes (or erroring out with
proper error message) we've started to propagate that metedata to worker
nodes as well.
In the past, we allowed users to manually switch to 1PC
(e.g., one phase commit). However, with this commit, we
don't. All multi-shard modifications are done via 2PC.

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

ConnParams(AuthInfo and PoolInfo) gets a snapshot, which will block the
remote connectinos to localhost. And the release of snapshot will be
blocked by the snapshot. This leads to a deadlock.
We warm up the conn params hash before starting a new transaction so
that the entries will already be there when we start a new transaction.
Hence GetConnParams will not get a snapshot.
