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)

As we use the current user to sync the metadata to the nodes
with #5105 (and many other PRs), there is no reason that
prevents us to use the coordinated transaction for metadata syncing.
This commit also renames few functions to reflect their actual
implementation.
Before this commit, creating a partition after a DROP column
on the parent (position before dist. key) was leading to
partition to have the wrong distribution column.
update_distributed_table_colocation can be called by the relation
owner, and internally it updates pg_dist_partition. With this
commit, update_distributed_table_colocation uses an internal
UDF to access pg_dist_partition.
As a result, this operation can now be done by regular users
on MX.
* Fix UNION not being pushdown
Postgres optimizes column fields that are not needed in the output. We
were relying on these fields to understand if it is safe to push down a
union query.
This fix looks at the parse query, which has the original column fields
to detect if it is safe to push down a union query.
* Add more tests
* Simplify code and make it more robust
* Process varlevelsup > 0 in FindReferencedTableColumn
* Only look for outers vars in union path
* Add more comments
* Remove UNION ALL specific logic for pulling up childvars
These two options were not included when creating the sequences on the
workers as part of metadata syncing.
The missing `data_type` part of the definition made finding the cause
of #5126 harder than necessary, because of confusing errors.
Before this commit, we always synced the metadata with superuser.
However, that creates various edge cases such as visibility errors
or self distributed deadlocks or complicates user access checks.
Instead, with this commit, we use the current user to sync the metadata.
Note that, `start_metadata_sync_to_node` still requires super user
because accessing certain metadata (like pg_dist_node) always require
superuser (e.g., the current user should be a superuser).
However, metadata syncing operations regarding the distributed
tables can now be done with regular users, as long as the user
is the owner of the table. A table owner can still insert non-sense
metadata, however it'd only affect its own table. So, we cannot do
anything about that.

Moving shards of reference tables was possible in at least one case:
```sql
select citus_disable_node('localhost', 9702);
create table r(x int);
select create_reference_table('r');
set citus.replicate_reference_tables_on_activate = off;
select citus_activate_node('localhost', 9702);
select citus_move_shard_placement(102008, 'localhost', 9701, 'localhost', 9702);
```
This would then remove the reference table shard on the source, causing
all kinds of issues. This fixes that by disallowing all shard moves
except for shards of distributed tables.

The first and main issue was that we were putting absolute pointers into
shared memory for the `steps` field of the `ProgressMonitorData`. This
pointer was being overwritten every time a process requested the monitor
steps, which is the only reason why this even worked in the first place.
To quote a part of a relevant stack overflow answer:
> First of all, putting absolute pointers in shared memory segments is
> terrible terible idea - those pointers would only be valid in the
> process that filled in their values. Shared memory segments are not
> guaranteed to attach at the same virtual address in every process.
> On the contrary - they attach where the system deems it possible when
> `shmaddr == NULL` is specified on call to `shmat()`
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10781921/2570866
In this case a race condition occurred when a second process overwrote
the pointer in between the first process its write and read of the steps
field.
This issue is fixed by not storing the pointer in shared memory anymore.
Instead we now calculate it's position every time we need it.
The second race condition I have not been able to trigger, but I found
it while investigating this. This issue was that we published the handle
of the shared memory segment, before we initialized the data in the
steps. This means that during initialization of the data, a call to
`get_rebalance_progress()` could read partial data in an unsynchronized
manner.
With local query caching, we try to avoid deparse/parse stages as the
operation is too costly.
However, we can do deparse/parse operations once per cached queries, right
before we put the plan into the cache. With that, we avoid edge
cases like (4239) or (5038).
In a sense, we are making the local plan caching behave similar for non-cached
local/remote queries, by forcing to deparse the query once.

InvalidateForeignKeyGraph sends an invalidation via shared memory to all
backends, including the current one.
However, we might not call AcceptInvalidationMessages before reading
from the cache below. It would be better to also add a call to
AcceptInvalidationMessages in IsForeignConstraintRelationshipGraphValid.
To be able to report progress of the rebalancer, the rebalancer updates
the state of a shard move in a shared memory segment. To then fetch the
progress, `get_rebalance_progress` can be called which reads this shared
memory.
Without this change it did so without using any synchronization
primitives, allowing for data races. This fixes that by using atomic
operations to update and read from the parts of the shared memory that
can be changed after initialization.
Without this change the rebalancer progress monitor gets the shard sizes
from the `shardlength` column in `pg_dist_placement`. This column needs to
be updated manually by calling `citus_update_table_statistics`.
However, `citus_update_table_statistics` could lead to distributed
deadlocks while database traffic is on-going (see #4752).
To work around this we don't use `shardlength` column anymore. Instead
for every rebalance we now fetch all shard sizes on the fly.
Two additional things this does are:
1. It adds tests for the rebalance progress function.
2. If a shard move cannot be done because a source or target node is
unreachable, then we error in stop the rebalance, instead of showing
a warning and continuing. When using the by_disk_size rebalance
strategy it's not safe to continue with other moves if a specific
move failed. It's possible that the failed move made space for the
next move, and because the failed move never happened this space now
does not exist.
3. Adds two new columns to the result of `get_rebalancer_progress` which
shows the size of the shard on the source and target node.
Fixes#4930
DESCRIPTION: Add support for ALTER DATABASE OWNER
This adds support for changing the database owner. It achieves this by marking the database as a distributed object. By marking the database as a distributed object it will look for its dependencies and order the user creation commands (enterprise only) before the alter of the database owner. This is mostly important when adding new nodes.
By having the database marked as a distributed object it can easily understand for which `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` commands to propagate by resolving the object address of the database and verifying it is a distributed object, and hence should propagate changes of owner ship to all workers.
Given the ownership of the database might have implications on subsequent commands in transactions we force sequential mode for transactions that have a `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` command in them. This will fail the transaction with meaningful help when the transaction already executed parallel statements.
By default the feature is turned off since roles are not automatically propagated, having it turned on would cause hard to understand errors for the user. It can be turned on by the user via setting the `citus.enable_alter_database_owner`.
Comment from the code:
/*
* Iterate until all the tasks are finished. Once all the tasks
* are finished, ensure that that all the connection initializations
* are also finished. Otherwise, those connections are terminated
* abruptly before they are established (or failed). Instead, we let
* the ConnectionStateMachine() to properly handle them.
*
* Note that we could have the connections that are not established
* as a side effect of slow-start algorithm. At the time the algorithm
* decides to establish new connections, the execution might have tasks
* to finish. But, the execution might finish before the new connections
* are established.
*/
Note that the abruptly terminated connections lead to the following errors:
2020-11-16 21:09:09.800 CET [16633] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
2020-11-16 21:09:09.872 CET [16657] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Undefined error: 0
2020-11-16 21:09:09.894 CET [16667] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
To easily reproduce the issue:
- Create a single node Citus
- Add the coordinator to the metadata
- Create a distributed table with shards on the coordinator
- f.sql: select count(*) from test;
- pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 or pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 -C
With this commit, the executor becomes smarter about refrain to open
new connections. The very basic example is that, if the connection
establishments take 1000ms and task executions as 5 msecs, the executor
becomes smart enough to not establish new connections.
It was possible to block maintenance daemon by taking an SHARE ROW
EXCLUSIVE lock on pg_dist_placement. Until the lock is released
maintenance daemon would be blocked.
We should not block the maintenance daemon under any case hence now we
try to get the pg_dist_placement lock without waiting, if we cannot get
it then we don't try to drop the old placements.
DESCRIPTION: introduce `citus.local_hostname` GUC for connections to the current node
Citus once in a while needs to connect to itself for some systems operations. This used to be hardcoded to `localhost`. The hardcoded hostname causes some issues, for example in environments where `sslmode=verify-full` is required. It is not always desirable or even feasible to get `localhost` as an alt name on the certificate.
By introducing a GUC to use when connecting to the current instance the user has more control what network path is used and what hostname is required to be present in the server certificate.
Every move in the rebalancer algorithm results in an improvement in the
balance. However, even if the improvement in the balance was very small
the move was still chosen. This is especially problematic if the shard
itself is very big and the move will take a long time.
This changes the rebalancer algorithm to take the relative size of the
balance improvement into account when choosing moves. By default a move
will not be chosen if it improves the balance by less than half of the
size of the shard. An extra argument is added to the rebalancer
functions so that the user can decide to lower the default threshold if
the ignored move is wanted anyway.
* 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.

The comment of DropMarkedShards described the behaviour that after a
failure we would continue trying to drop other shards. However the code
did not do this and would stop after the first failure. Instead of
simply fixing the comment I fixed the code, because the described
behaviour is more useful. Now a single shard that cannot be removed yet
does not block others from being removed.
As long as the VALUES clause contains constant values, we should not
recursively plan the queries/CTEs.
This is a follow-up work of #1805. So, we can easily apply OUTER join
checks as if VALUES clause is a reference table/immutable function.
* Fix problews with concurrent calls of DropMarkedShards
When trying to enable `citus.defer_drop_after_shard_move` by default it
turned out that DropMarkedShards was not safe to call concurrently.
This could especially cause big problems when also moving shards at the
same time. During tests it was possible to trigger a state where a shard
that was moved would not be available on any of the nodes anymore after
the move.
Currently DropMarkedShards is only called in production by the
maintenaince deamon. Since this is only a single process triggering such
a race is currently impossible in production settings. In future changes
we will want to call DropMarkedShards from other places too though.
* Add some isolation tests

This commit adds support for long partition names for distributed tables:
- ALTER TABLE dist_table ATTACH PARTITION ..
- CREATE TABLE .. PARTITION OF dist_table ..
Note: create_distributed_table UDF does not support long table and
partition names, and is not covered in this commit
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.
* Columnar: fix misnamed file.
* Columnar: make compression not dependent on columnar.h.

Because setting the flag doesn't necessarily mean that we'll
use 2PC. If connections are read-only, we will not use 2PC.
In other words, we'll use 2PC only for connections that modified
any placements.
Before this commit, Citus used 2PC no matter what kind of
local query execution happens.
For example, if the coordinator has shards (and the workers as well),
even a simple SELECT query could start 2PC:
```SQL
WITH cte_1 AS (SELECT * FROM test LIMIT 10) SELECT count(*) FROM cte_1;
```
In this query, the local execution of the shards (and also intermediate
result reads) triggers the 2PC.
To prevent that, Citus now distinguishes local reads and local writes.
And, Citus switches to 2PC only if a modification happens. This may
still lead to unnecessary 2PCs when there is a local modification
and remote SELECTs only. Though, we handle that separately
via #4587.
With this commit, we make sure to prevent infinite recursion for queries
in the format: [subquery with a UNION ALL] JOIN [table or subquery]
Also, fixes a bug where we pushdown UNION ALL below a JOIN even if the
UNION ALL is not safe to pushdown.
* Reimplement citus_update_table_statistics
* Update stats for the given table not colocation group
* Add tests for reimplemented citus_update_table_statistics
* Use coordinated transaction, merge with citus_shard_sizes functions
* Update the old master_update_table_statistics as well
* Use translated vars in postgres 13 as well
Postgres 13 removed translated vars with pg 13 so we had a special logic
for pg 13. However it had some bug, so now we copy the translated vars
before postgres deletes it. This also simplifies the logic.
* fix rtoffset with pg >= 13
It seems that we need to consider only pseudo constants while doing some
shortcuts in planning. For example there could be a false clause but it
can contribute to the result in which case it will not be a pseudo
constant.
When COPY is used for copying into co-located files, it was
not allowed to use local execution. The primary reason was
Citus treating co-located intermediate results as co-located
shards, and COPY into the distributed table was done via
"format result". And, local execution of such COPY commands
was not implemented.
With this change, we implement support for local execution with
"format result". To do that, we use the buffer for every file
on shardState->copyOutState, similar to how local copy on
shards are implemented. In fact, the logic is similar to
local copy on shards, but instead of writing to the shards,
Citus writes the results to a file.
The logic relies on LOCAL_COPY_FLUSH_THRESHOLD, and flushes
only when the size exceeds the threshold. But, unlike local
copy on shards, in this case we write the headers and footers
just once.
With #4338, the executor is smart enough to failover to
local node if there is not enough space in max_connections
for remote connections.
For COPY, the logic is different. With #4034, we made COPY
work with the adaptive connection management slightly
differently. The cause of the difference is that COPY doesn't
know which placements are going to be accessed hence requires
to get connections up-front.
Similarly, COPY decides to use local execution up-front.
With this commit, we change the logic for COPY on local nodes:
Try to reserve a connection to local host. This logic follows
the same logic (e.g., citus.local_shared_pool_size) as the
executor because COPY also relies on TryToIncrementSharedConnectionCounter().
If reservation to local node fails, switch to local execution
Apart from this, if local execution is disabled, we follow the
exact same logic for multi-node Citus. It means that if we are
out of the connection, we'd give an error.
pg_get_tableschemadef_string doesn't know how to deparse identity
columns so we cannot reflect those columns when creating shell
relation.
For this reason, we don't allow adding local tables -having identity cols-
to metadata.
* Fix partition column index issue
We send column names to worker_hash/range_partition_table methods, and
in these methods we check the column name index from tuple descriptor.
Then this index is used to decide the bucket that the current row will
be sent for the repartition.
This becomes a problem when there are the same column names in the
tupleDescriptor. Then we can choose the wrong index. Hence the
partitioned data will be put to wrong workers. Then the result could
miss some data because workers might contain different range of data.
An example:
TupleDescriptor contains "trip_id", "car_id", "car_id" for one table.
It contains only "car_id" for the other table. And assuming that the
tables will be partitioned by car_id, it is not certain what should be
used for deciding the bucket number for the first table. Assuming value
2 goes to bucket 2 and value 3 goes to bucket 3, it is not certain which
bucket "1 2 3" (trip_id, car_id, car_id) row will go to.
As a solution we send the index of partition column in targetList
instead of the column name.
The old API is kept so that if workers upgrade work, it still works
(though it will have the same bug)
* Use the same method so that backporting is easier
* Make undistribute_table() and citus_create_local_table() work with columnar
* Rename and use LocallyExecuteUtilityTask for UDF check
* Remove 'local' references in ExecuteUtilityCommand
For certaion purposes, we drop and recreate the foreign
keys. As we acquire exclusive locks on the tables in between
drop and re-create, we can safely skip validation phase of
the foreign keys. The reason is purely being performance as
foreign key validation could take a long value.
When enabled any foreign keys between local tables and reference
tables supported by converting the local table to a citus local
table.
When the coordinator is not in the metadata, the logic is disabled
as foreign keys are not allowed in this configuration.
* Stronger check for triggers on columnar tables (#4493).
Previously, we used a simple ProcessUtility_hook. Change to use an
object_access_hook instead.
* Replace alter_table_set_access_method test on partition with foreign key

With citus shard helper view, we can easily see:
- where each shard is, which node, which port
- what kind of table it belongs to
- its size
With such a view, we can see shards that have a size bigger than some
value, which could be useful. Also debugging can be easier in production
as well with this view.
Fetch shards in one go per node
The previous implementation was slow because it would do a lot of round
trips, one per shard to be exact. Hence it is improved so that we fetch
all the shard_name, shard-size pairs per node in one go.

On top of our foreign key graph, implement the infrastructure to get
list of relations that are connected to input relation via a foreign key
graph.
We need this to support cascading create_citus_local_table &
undistribute_table operations.
Also add regression tests to see what our foreign key graph is able to
capture currently.
It seems that there are only very few cases where that is useful, and
for now we prefer not having that check. This means that we might
perform some unnecessary checks, but that should be rare and not
performance critical.
Instead of sending NULL's over a network, we now convert the subqueries
in the form of:
SELECT t.a, NULL, NULL FROM (SELECT a FROM table)t;
And we recursively plan the inner part so that we don't send the NULL's
over network. We still need the NULLs in the outer subquery because we
currently don't have an easy way of updating all the necessary places in
the query.
Add some documentation for how the conversion is done
Baseinfo also has pushed down filters etc, so it makes more sense to use
BaseRestrictInfo to determine what columns have constant equality
filters.
Also RteIdentity is used for removing conversion candidates instead of
rteIndex.
It seems that most of the updates were broken, we weren't aware of it
because there wasn't any data in the tables. They are broken mostly
because local tables do not have a shard id and some code paths should
be updated with that information, currently when there is an invalid
shard id, it is assumed to be pruned.
Consider local tables in router planner
In case there is a local table, the shard id will not be valid and there
are some checks that rely on shard id, we should skip these in case of
local tables, which is handled with a dummy placement.
Add citus local table dist table join tests
add local-dist table mixed joins tests
AllDataLocallyAccessible and ContainsLocalTableSubqueryJoin are removed.
We can possibly remove ModifiesLocalTableWithRemoteCitusLocalTable as
well. Though this removal has a side effect that now when all the data
is locally available, we could still wrap a relation into a subquery, I
guess that should be resolved in the router planner itself.
Add more tests
We should not recursively plan an already routable plannable query. An
example of this is (SELECT * FROM local JOIN (SELECT * FROM dist) d1
USING(a));
So we let the recursive planner do all of its work and at the end we
convert the final query to to handle unsupported joins. While doing each
conversion, we check if it is router plannable, if so we stop.
Only consider range table entries that are in jointree
If a range table is not in jointree then there is no point in
considering that because we are trying to convert range table entries to
subqueries for join use case.
Check equality in quals
We want to recursively plan distributed tables only if they have an
equality filter on a unique column. So '>' and '<' operators will not
trigger recursive planning of distributed tables in local-distributed
table joins.
Recursively plan distributed table only if the filter is constant
If the filter is not a constant then the join might return multiple rows
and there is a chance that the distributed table will return huge data.
Hence if the filter is not constant we choose to recursively plan the
local table.
When doing local-distributed table joins we convert one of them to
subquery. The current policy is that we convert distributed tables to
subquery if it has a unique index on a column that has unique
index(primary key also has a unique index).
The logical planner cannot handle joins between local and distributed table.
Instead, we can recursively plan one side of the join and let the logical
planner handle the rest.
Our algorithm is a little smart, trying not to recursively plan distributed
tables, but favors local tables.
A utility function is added so that each caller can implement a handler
for each index on a given table. This means that the caller doesn't need
to worry about how to access each index, the only thing that it needs to
do each to implement a function to which each index on the table is
passed iteratively.
When Citus needs to parallelize queries on the local node (e.g., the node
executing the distributed query and the shards are the same), we need to
be mindful about the connection management. The reason is that the client
backends that are running distributed queries are competing with the client
backends that Citus initiates to parallelize the queries in order to get
a slot on the max_connections.
In that regard, we implemented a "failover" mechanism where if the distributed
queries cannot get a connection, the execution failovers the tasks to the local
execution.
The failover logic is follows:
- As the connection manager if it is OK to get a connection
- If yes, we are good.
- If no, we fail the workerPool and the failure triggers
the failover of the tasks to local execution queue
The decision of getting a connection is follows:
/*
* For local nodes, solely relying on citus.max_shared_pool_size or
* max_connections might not be sufficient. The former gives us
* a preview of the future (e.g., we let the new connections to establish,
* but they are not established yet). The latter gives us the close to
* precise view of the past (e.g., the active number of client backends).
*
* Overall, we want to limit both of the metrics. The former limit typically
* kics in under regular loads, where the load of the database increases in
* a reasonable pace. The latter limit typically kicks in when the database
* is issued lots of concurrent sessions at the same time, such as benchmarks.

When distributing a columnar table, as well as changing options on a distributed columnar table, this patch will forward the settings from the coordinator to the workers.
For propagating options changes on an already distributed table this change is pretty straight forward. Before applying the change in options locally we will create a `DDLJob` that contains a call to `alter_columnar_table_set(...)` for every shard placement with all settings of the current table. This goes both for setting an option as well as resetting. This will reset the values to the defaults configured on the coordinator. Having the effect that the coordinator is authoritative on the settings and makes sure the shards have the same settings set as the table on the coordinator.
When a columnar table is distributed it is using the `TableDDLCommand` infra structure to create a new kind of `TableDDLCommand`. This new type, called a `TableDDLCommandFunction` contains a context and 2 function pointers to execute. One function returns the command as applied on the table, the second function will return the sql command to apply to a shard with a given shard id. The schema name is ignored as it will use the fully qualified name of the shard in the same schema as the base table.
Multi-row execution already uses sequential execution. When shards
are local, using local execution is profitable as it avoids
an extra connection establishment to the local node.
If MemoryContextAlloc errors out -e.g. during an OOM-, ConnectionHashEntry->connections
stays as NULL.
With this commit, we add isValid flag to ConnectionHashEntry that should be set to true
right after we allocate & initialize ConnectionHashEntry->connections list properly, and we
check it before accesing to ConnectionHashEntry->connections.
Columnar options were by accident linked to the relfilenode instead of the regclass/relation oid. This PR moves everything related to columnar options to their own catalog table.
Refactor internals on how Citus creates the SQL commands it sends to recreate shards.
Before Citus collected solely ddl commands as `char *`'s to recreate a table. If they were used to create a shard they were wrapped with `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` and send to the workers. On the workers the UDF wrapping the ddl command would rewrite the parsetree to replace tables names with their shard name equivalent.
This worked well, but poses an issue when adding columnar. Due to limitations in Postgres on creating custom options on table access methods we need to fall back on a UDF to set columnar specific options. Now, to recreate the table, we can not longer rely on having solely DDL statements to recreate a table.
A prototype was made to run this UDF wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`. This became pretty messy, hard to understand and subsequently hard to maintain.
This PR proposes a refactor of the internal representation of table ddl commands into a `TableDDLCommand` structure. The current implementation only supports a `char *` as its contents. Based on the use of the DDL statement (eg. creating the table -mx- or creating a shard) one of two different functions can be called to get the statement to send to the worker:
- `GetTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command)`: This function returns that ddl command to create the table. In this implementation it will just return the `char *`. This has the same functionality as getting the old list and not wrapping it.
- `GetShardedTableDDLCommand(TableDDLCommand *command, uint64 shardId, char *schemaName)`: This function returns the ddl command wrapped in `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command` with the `shardId` as an argument. Due to backwards compatibility it also accepts a. `schemaName`. The exact purpose is not directly clear. Ideally new implementations would work with fully qualified statements and ignore the `schemaName`.
A future implementation could accept 2.function pointers and a `void *` for context to let the two pointers work on. This gives greater flexibility in controlling what commands get send in which situations. Also, in a future, we could implement the intermediate step of creating the `parsetree` datastructure of statements based on the contents in the catalog with a corresponding deparser. For sharded queries a mutator could be ran over the parsetree to rewrite the tablenames to the names with the shard identifier. This will completely omit the requirement for `worker_apply_shard_ddl_command`.
Considering the adaptive connection management
improvements that we plan to roll soon, it makes it
very helpful to know the number of active client
backends.
We are doing this addition to simplify yhe adaptive connection
management for single node Citus. In single node Citus, both the
client backends and Citus parallel queries would compete to get
slots on Postgres' `max_connections` on the same Citus database.
With adaptive connection management, we have the counters for
Citus parallel queries. That helps us to adaptively decide
on the remote executions pool size (e.g., throttle connections
if necessary).
However, we do not have any counters for the total number of
client backends on the database. For single node Citus, we
should consider all the client backends, not only the remote
connections that Citus does.
Of course Postgres internally knows how many client
backends are active. However, to get that number Postgres
iterates over all the backends. For examaple, see [pg_stat_get_db_numbackends](8e90ec5580/src/backend/utils/adt/pgstatfuncs.c (L1240))
where Postgres iterates over all the backends.
For our purpuses, we need this information on every connection
establishment. That's why we cannot affort to do this kind of
iterattion.
