This implements the phase - II of MERGE sql support
Support routable query where all the tables in the merge-sql are distributed, co-located, and both the source and
target relations are joined on the distribution column with a constant qual. This should be a Citus single-task
query. Below is an example.
SELECT create_distributed_table('t1', 'id');
SELECT create_distributed_table('s1', 'id', colocate_with => ‘t1’);
MERGE INTO t1
USING s1 ON t1.id = s1.id AND t1.id = 100
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET val = s1.val + 10
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, val, src) VALUES (s1.id, s1.val, s1.src)
Basically, MERGE checks to see if
There are a minimum of two distributed tables (source and a target).
All the distributed tables are indeed colocated.
MERGE relations are joined on the distribution column
MERGE .. USING .. ON target.dist_key = source.dist_key
The query should touch only a single shard i.e. JOIN AND with a constant qual
MERGE .. USING .. ON target.dist_key = source.dist_key AND target.dist_key = <>
If any of the conditions are not met, it raises an exception.
The original implementation of GPIDs didn't work correctly when using
`pg_dist_poolinfo` together with PgBouncer. The reason is that it
assumed that once a connection was made to a worker, the originating
GPID should stay the same for ever. But when pg_dist_poolinfo is used
this isn't the case, because the same connection on the worker might be
used by different backends of the coordinator.
This fixes that issue by updating the GPID whenever a new application
name is set on a connection. This is the only thing that's needed,
because PgBouncer already sets the application name correctly on the
server connection whenever a client is updated.
DESCRIPTION: Enable adding CHECK constraints on distributed tables
without the client having to provide a constraint name.
This PR enables the following command syntax for adding check
constraints to distributed tables.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CHECK ...
by creating a default constraint name and transforming the command into
the below syntax before sending it to workers.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT \<conname> CHECK ...
In #6412 I made a change to not re-assign the global PID if it was
already set. This inadvertently introduced a regression where `userId`
and `databaseId` would not be set on the backend data when the global
PID was assigned in the authentication hook.
This fixes it by doing two things:
1. Removing `userId` from `BackendData`, since it's not used anywhere
anyway.
2. Move assignment of `databaseId` to dedicated
`SetBackendDataDatabaseId` function, that isn't a no-op when global
pid is already set.
Since #6412 is not released yet this does not need a description.
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for creating table constraints UNIQUE and
EXCLUDE via ALTER TABLE command without client having to specify a name.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT <conname> UNIQUE ...
ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT <conname> EXCLUDE ...
commands require the client to provide an explicit constraint name.
However, in postgres it is possible for clients not to provide a name
and let the postgres generate it using the following commands
ALTER TABLE ... ADD UNIQUE ...
ALTER TABLE ... ADD EXCLUDE ...
This PR enables the same functionality for citus tables.
DESCRIPTION: Drop `SHARD_STATE_TO_DELETE` and use the cleanup records
instead
Drops the shard state that is used to mark shards as orphaned. Now we
insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup` so "orphaned" shards will
be dropped either by maintenance daemon or internal cleanup calls. With
this PR, we make the "cleanup orphaned shards" functions to be no-op, as
they would not be needed anymore.
This PR includes some naming changes about placement functions. We don't
need functions that filter orphaned shards, as there will be no orphaned
shards anymore.
We will also be introducing a small script with this PR, for users with
orphaned shards. We'll basically delete the orphaned shard entries from
`pg_dist_placement` and insert cleanup records into `pg_dist_cleanup`
for each one of them, during Citus upgrade.
We also have a lot of flakiness fixes in this PR.

DESCRIPTION: Defers cleanup after a failure in shard move or split
We don't need to do a cleanup in case of failure on a shard transfer or
split anymore. Because,
* Maintenance daemon will clean them up anyway.
* We trigger a cleanup at the beginning of shard transfers/splits.
* The cleanup on failure logic also can fail sometimes and instead of
the original error, we throw the error that is raised by the cleanup
procedure, and it causes confusion.
DESCRIPTION: Cleanup the shard on the target node in case of a
failed/aborted shard move
Inserts a cleanup record for the moved shard placement on the target
node. If the move operation succeeds, the record will be deleted. If
not, it will remain there to be cleaned up later.
fixes: #6580
All the tables (target, source or any CTE present) in the SQL statement are local i.e. a merge-sql with a combination of Citus local and
Non-Citus tables (regular Postgres tables) should work and give the same result as Postgres MERGE on regular tables. Catch and throw an
exception (not-yet-supported) for all other scenarios during Citus-planning phase.
Removes unused job boundary tag `SUBQUERY_MAP_MERGE_JOB`.
Only usage is at `BuildMapMergeJob`, which is only called when the
boundary = `JOIN_MAP_MERGE_JOB`. Hence, it should be safe to remove.
We already have citus_job_wait to wait until the job reaches the desired
state. That PR adds waiting on task state to allow more granular
waiting. It can be used for Citus operations. Moreover, it is also
useful for testing purposes. (wait until a task reaches specified state)
Related to #6459.
DESCRIPTION: Create replication artifacts with unique names
We're creating replication objects with generic names. This disallows us
to enable parallel shard moves, as two operations might use the same
objects. With this PR, we'll create below objects with operation
specific names, by appending OparationId to the names.
* Subscriptions
* Publications
* Replication Slots
* Users created for subscriptions
Adds signal handlers for graceful termination, cancellation of
task executors and detecting config updates. Related to PR #6459.
#### How to handle termination signal?
Monitor need to gracefully terminate all running task executors before
terminating. Hence, we have sigterm handler for the monitor.
#### How to handle cancellation signal?
Monitor need to gracefully cancel all running task executors before
terminating. Hence, we have sigint handler for the monitor.
#### How to detect configuration changes?
Monitor has SIGHUP handler to reflect configuration changes while
executing tasks.
DESCRIPTION: Extend cleanup process for replication artifacts
This PR adds new cleanup record types for:
* Subscriptions
* Replication slots
* Publications
* Users created for subscriptions
We add records for these object types, to `pg_dist_cleanup` during
creation phase. Once the operation is done, in case of success or
failure, we iterate those records and drop the objects. With this PR we
will not be dropping any of these objects during the operation. In
short, we will always be deferring the drop.
One thing that's worth mentioning is that we sort cleanup records before
processing (dropping) them, because of dependency relations among those
objects, e.g a subscription might depend on a publication. Therefore, we
always drop subscriptions before publications.
We have some renames in this PR:
* `TryDropOrphanedShards` -> `TryDropOrphanedResources`
* `DropOrphanedShardsForCleanup` -> `DropOrphanedResourcesForCleanup`
* `run_try_drop_marked_shards` -> `run_try_drop_marked_resources`
as these functions now process replication artifacts as well.
This PR drops function `DropAllLogicalReplicationLeftovers` and its all
usages, since now we rely on the deferring drop mechanism.
Improvement on our background task monitoring API (PR #6296) to support
concurrent and nonblocking task execution.
Mainly we have a queue monitor background process which forks task
executors for `Runnable` tasks and then monitors their status by
fetching messages from shared memory queue in nonblocking way.
When debugging issues it's quite useful to see the originating gpid in
the application_name of a query on a worker. This already happens for
most queries, but not for queries created by the rebalancer or by
run_command_on_worker. This adds a gpid to those two application_names
too.
Note, that if the GPID of the new application_names is different than
the current GPID of the backend the backend will continue to keep
the old gpid as its actual GPID. This PR is just meant to make sure
that the application_name is as useful as it can be for users to
look at. Updating of gpids will be done in a follow-up PR, and
adding gpids to all internal connections will make this easier.
DESCRIPTION: Makes sure to disallow triggers that depend on extensions
We were already doing so for `ALTER trigger DEPENDS ON EXTENSION`
commands. However, we also need to disallow creating Citus tables
having such triggers already, so this PR fixes that.
increasing logical clock. Clock guarantees to never go back in value after restarts,
and makes best attempt to keep the value close to unix epoch time in milliseconds.
Also, introduces a new GUC "citus.enable_cluster_clock", when true, every
distributed transaction is stamped with logical causal clock and persisted
in a catalog pg_dist_commit_transaction.
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_split
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_move
Drop GUCs and related parts from the code.
Delete tests that specifically added for the GUCs.
Keep tests that can be used without the GUCs.
Update test output changes.
The motivation for this PR is to have an "always deferring" mechanism.
These two GUCs provide an option to not deferring dropping objects
during a shard move/split, and dropping them immediately. With this PR,
we will be always deferring dropping orphaned shards and other types of
objects.
We will have a separate PR to extend the deferred cleanup operation, so
that we would create records for deferred drop, for Subscriptions,
Publications, Replication Slots etc. This will make us be able to keep
track of created objects that needs to be dropped, during a shard
move/split. We will have objects created specifically for the current
operation; and those objects will be dropped at the end.
We have an issue (a draft roadmap) for enabling parallel shard moves.
For details please see: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6437
DESCRIPTION: Adds failure test for shard move
DESCRIPTION: Remove function `WaitForAllSubscriptionsToBecomeReady` and
related tests
Adding some failure tests for shard moves.
Dropping the not-needed-anymore function
`WaitForAllSubscriptionsToBecomeReady`, as the subscriptions now start
as ready from the beginning because we don't use logical replication
table sync workers anymore.
fixes: #6260
To be able to test non-blocking shard moves we take an advisory lock, so
we can pause the shard move at an interesting moment. Originally this
was during the logical replication catch up phase. But when I added
tests for the rebalancer progress I moved this lock before the initial
data copy. This allowed testing of the rebalance progress, but
inadvertently made our non-blocking tests not actually test if we held
unintended locks during logical replication catch up.
This fixes that by creating two types of advisory locks, one before the
copy and one after. This causes the tests to actually test their
intended scenario again.
Furthermore it starts using one of these locks for blocking shard moves
too. Which allowed me to reduce the complexity of the rebalance progress
test suite quite a bit. It also allowed enabling some flaky tests again,
because this stopped them from being flaky. And finally it allowed
testing of rebalance progress for blocking shard copy operations as
well.
In passing it fixes a flaky test during parallel blocking shard moves by
ordering the output.
DESCRIPTION: Adds status column to get_rebalance_progress()
Introduces a new column named `status` for the function
`get_rebalance_progress()`. For each ongoing shard move, this column
will reveal information about that shard move operation's current
status.
For now, candidate status messages could be one of the below.
* Not Started
* Setting Up
* Copying Data
* Catching Up
* Creating Constraints
* Final Catchup
* Creating Foreign Keys
* Completing
* Completed
PostgreSQL 15 exposes WL_SOCKET_CLOSED in WaitEventSet API, which is
useful for detecting closed remote sockets. In this patch, we use this
new event and try to detect closed remote sockets in the executor.
When a closed socket is detected, the executor now has the ability to
retry the connection establishment. Note that, the executor can retry
connection establishments only for the connection that has not been
used. Basically, this patch is mostly useful for preventing the executor
to fail if a cached connection is closed because of the worker node
restart (or worker failover).
In other words, the executor cannot retry connection establishment if we
are in a distributed transaction AND any command has been sent over the
connection. That requires more sophisticated retry mechanisms. For now,
fixing the above use case is enough.
Fixes#5538
Earlier discussions: #5908, #6259 and #6283
### Summary of the current approach regards to earlier trials
As noted, we explored some alternatives before getting into this.
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6283 is simple, but lacks an
important property. We should be checking for `WL_SOCKET_CLOSED`
_before_ sending anything over the wire. Otherwise, it becomes very
tricky to understand which connection is actually safe to retry. For
example, in the current patch, we can safely check
`transaction->transactionState == REMOTE_TRANS_NOT_STARTED` before
restarting a connection.
#6259 does what we intent here (e.g., check for sending any command).
However, as @marcocitus noted, it is very tricky to handle
`WaitEventSets` in multiple places. And, the executor is designed such
that it reacts to the events. So, adding anything `pre-executor` seemed
too ugly.
In the end, I converged into this patch. This patch relies on the
simplicity of #6283 and also does a very limited handling of
`WaitEventSets`, just for our purpose. Just before we add any connection
to the execution, we check if the remote session has already closed.
With that, we do a brief interaction of multiple wait event processing,
but with different purposes. The new wait event processing we added does
not even consider cancellations. We let that handled by the main event
processing loop.

PG15 introduced a function called ReplicationSlotName that causes
conflicts with our function with the same name. I solved this issue by
renaming our function to ReplicationSlotNameForNodeAndOwner
Relevant PG commit:
c3b5992b91
In Split, Logical replication logic and ShardCleaner we call
`SendCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransaction` and
`SendOptionalCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransaction` frequently. This
opens new connection for each of those calls, even though we already
have a perfectly good connection lying around.
This PR adds two new APIs
`SendCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransactionWithConnection` and
`SendOptionalCommandListToWorkerOutsideTransactionWithConnection` that
allow sending a list of queries in a transaction over an existing
connection. We also update the callers (Split, ShardCleaner, Logical
Replication) to use these new APIs instead.

As we did for GENERATED STORED columns in #4613, we should not drop
column
default expressions that are not based on sequences from shard relation
since
such expressions need to exist e.g. for foreign key actions.
For the column default expressions that are based on sequences we cannot
do much, so we need to disallow having ON DELETE SET DEFAULT actions on
such columns in a separate PR, see #6339.
Fixes#6318.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that might cause inserting incorrect DEFAULT
values when applying foreign key actions
DESCRIPTION: Improve logging during shard split and resource cleanup
### DESCRIPTION
This PR makes logging improvements to Shard Split :
1. Update confusing logging to fix#6312
2. Added new `ereport(LOG` to make debugging easier as part of telemetry review.
Comment from the code is clear on this:
/*
* The statistics objects of the distributed table are not relevant
* for the distributed planning, so we can override it.
*
* Normally, we should not need this. However, the combination of
* Postgres commit 269b532aef55a579ae02a3e8e8df14101570dfd9 and
* Citus function AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning()
* forces us to do this. The commit expects statistics objects
* of partitions to have "inh" flag set properly. Whereas, the
* function overrides "inh" flag. To avoid Postgres to throw error,
* we override statlist such that Postgres does not try to process
* any statistics objects during the standard_planner() on the
* coordinator. In the end, we do not need the standard_planner()
* on the coordinator to generate an optimized plan. We call
* into standard_planner() for other purposes, such as generating the
* relationRestrictionContext here.
*
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is a hack that we use
* to prevent Postgres' standard_planner() to expand all the partitions
* for the distributed planning when a distributed partitioned table
* is queried. It is required for both correctness and performance
* reasons. Although we can eliminate the use of the function for
* the correctness (e.g., make sure that rest of the planner can handle
* partitions), it's performance implication is hard to avoid. Certain
* planning logic of Citus (such as router or query pushdown) relies
* heavily on the relationRestrictionList. If
* AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning() is removed, all the
* partitions show up in the, causing high planning times for
* such queries.

DESCRIPTION: Show citus_copy_shard_placement progress in
get_rebalance_progress
When rebalancing to a new node that does not have reference tables yet
the rebalancer will first copy the reference tables to the nodes.
Depending on the size of the reference tables, this might take a long
time. However, there's no indication of what's happening at this stage
of the rebalance.
This PR improves this situation by also showing the progress of any
citus_copy_shard_placement calls when calling get_rebalance_progress.
We can now do the following:
- Distribute sequence with logged/unlogged option
- ALTER TABLE my_sequence SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED
- ALTER SEQUENCE my_sequence SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED
Relevant PG commit
344d62fb9a
DESCRIPTION: Add a rebalancer that uses background tasks for its
execution
Based on the baclground jobs and tasks introduced in #6296 we implement
a new rebalancer on top of the primitives of background execution. This
allows the user to initiate a rebalance and let Citus execute the long
running steps in the background until completion.
Users can invoke the new background rebalancer with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_start();`. It will output information on its job id and
how to track progress. Also it returns its job id for automation
purposes. If you simply want to wait till the rebalance is done you can
use `SELECT citus_rebalance_wait();`
A running rebalance can be canelled/stopped with `SELECT
citus_rebalance_stop();`.
The logical replication catchup part for shard splits and shard moves is
very similar. This abstracts most of that similarity away into a single
function. This also improves the logic for non blocking shard splits a
bit, by using faster foreign key creation. It also parallelizes index creation
which shard moves were already doing, but shard splits did not.
DESCRIPTION: Add infrastructure to run long running management operations in background
This infrastructure introduces the primitives of jobs and tasks.
A task consists of a sql statement and an owner. Tasks belong to a
Job and can depend on other tasks from the same job.
When there are either runnable or running tasks we would like to
make sure a bacgrkound task queue monitor process is running. A Task
could be in running state while there is actually no monitor present
due to a database restart or failover. Once the monitor starts it
will reset any running task to its runnable state.
To make sure only one background task queue monitor is ever running
at once it will acquire an advisory lock that self conflicts.
Once a task is done it will find all tasks depending on this task.
After checking that the task doesn't have unmet dependencies it will
transition the task from blocked to runnable state for the task to
be picked up on a subsequent task start.
Currently only one task can be running at a time. This can be
improved upon in later releases without changes to the higher level
API.
The initial goal for this background tasks is to allow a rebalance
to run in the background. This will be implemented in a subsequent PR.
Previously we would create foreign keys to reference table in an extra
fast way at the end of a shard move. This uses that same logic to also
do it for foreign keys between distributed tables.
Fixes#6141
Introduces a new GUC named citus.skip_constraint_validation, which basically skips constraint validation when set to on.
For some several places that we hack to skip the foreign key validation phase, now we use this GUC.
DESCRIPTION:
This PR adds support for 'Deferred Drop' and robust 'Shard Cleanup' for Splits.
Common Infrastructure
This PR introduces new common infrastructure so as any operation that wants robust cleanup of resources can register with the cleaner and have the resources cleaned appropriately based on a specified policy. 'Shard Split' is the first consumer using this new infrastructure.
Note : We only support adding 'shards' as resources to be cleaned-up right now but the framework will be extended to support other resources in future.
Deferred Drop for Split
Deferred Drop Support ensures that shards undergoing split are not dropped inline as part of operation but dropped later when no active read queries are running on shard. This helps with :
Avoids any potential deadlock scenarios that can cause long running Split operation to rollback.
Avoids Split operation blocking writes and then getting blocked (due to running queries on the shard) when trying to drop shards.
Deferred drop is the new default behavior going forward.
Shard Cleaner Extension
Shard Cleaner is a background task responsible for deferred drops in case of 'Move' operations.
The cleaner has been extended to ensure robust cleanup of shards (dummy shards and split children) in case of a failure based on the new infrastructure mentioned above. The cleaner also handles deferred drop for 'Splits'.
TESTING:
New test ''citus_split_shard_by_split_points_deferred_drop' to test deferred drop support.
New test 'failure_split_cleanup' to test shard cleanup with failures in different stages.
Update 'isolation_blocking_shard_split and isolation_non_blocking_shard_split' for deferred drop.
Added non-deferred drop version of existing tests : 'citus_split_shard_no_deferred_drop' and 'citus_non_blocking_splits_no_deferred_drop'
Pre PG15, renaming child triggers on partitions is allowed. When
creating a trigger in a distributed parent partitioned table, the
triggers on the shards of the partitions have the same name with
the triggers on the corresponding parent shards of the parent
table. Therefore, they don't have the same appended shard id as
the shard id of the partition. Hence, when trying to rename a
child trigger on a partition of a distributed table, we can't
correctly find the triggers on the shards of the partition in
order to rename them since we append a different shard id to the
name of the trigger. Since we can't find the trigger we get a
misleading error of inexistent trigger.
In this commit we prohibit renaming child triggers on distributed
partitions altogether.

I intended to fix this with #6263, but the fix turned out to be
insufficient. This PR tries to address the issue by setting
distributedCommandOriginator correctly in more situations. However, even
with this change it's still possible to reproduce the flaky test in CI.
In any case this should fix at least some instances of this issue.
In passing this changes the isolation_citus_dist_activity test to allow
running it multiple times in a row.
In commit 31faa88a4e I removed some features of the rebalance progress
monitor. I did this because the plan was to remove the foreground shard
rebalancer later in the PR that would add the background shard
rebalancer. So, I didn't want to spend time fixing something that we
would throw away anyway.
As it turns out we're not removing the foreground shard rebalancer after
all, so it made sens to fix the stuff that I broke. This PR does that.
For the most part this commit reverts the changes in commit 31faa88a4e.
It's not a full revert though, because it keeps the improved tests and
the changes to `citus_move_shard_placement`.
Added create_distributed_table_concurrently which is nonblocking variant of create_distributed_table.
It bases on the split API which takes advantage of logical replication to support nonblocking split operations.

The reason for this is that citus_dist_stat_activity sometimes shows the
query that it uses itself to get the data from pg_stat_activity. This is
actually a bug, because it's a worker query and thus shouldn't show up
there. To try and solve this bug, we remove two small opportunities for a
race condition. These race conditions could happen when the backenddata
was marked as active, but the distributedCommandOriginator was not set
correctly yet/anymore. There was an opportunity for this to happen both
during connection start and shutdown.
Postgres supports JSON_TABLE feature on PG 15.
We treat JSON_TABLE the same as correlated functions (e.g., recurring tuples).
In the end, for multi-shard JSON_TABLE commands, we apply the same
restrictions as reference tables (e.g., cannot be in the outer part of
an outer join etc.)

We're in the processes of totally changing the shard rebalancer
experience and infrastructure. Soon the shard rebalancer will include
retries, crash recovery and support for running in the background.
These improvements come at a cost though, the way the
get_rebalance_progress UDF currently works is very hard to replicate
with this new structure. This is mostly because the old behaviour
doesn't really make sense anymore with this new infrastructure. A new
and better way to track the progress will be included as part of the new
infrastructure.
This PR is in preparation of the new code rebalancer experience.
It changes the get_rebalance_progress UDF to only display the moves that
are in progress at the moment, not the ones that happened in the past or
that are planned in the future. Another option would have been to
completely remove the current get_rebalance_progress functionality and
point people to the new way of tracking progress. But old blogposts
still reference the old UDF and users might have some automation on top
of it. Showing the progress of the current moves is fairly simple to
achieve, even with the new infrastructure.
So this PR is a kind of compromise: It doesn't have complete feature
parity with the old get_rebalance_progress, but the most common use
cases will still work.
There's also an advantage of the change: You can now see progress of
shard moves that were triggered by calling citus_move_shard_placement
manually. Instead of only being able to see progress of moves that were
initiated using get_rebalance_table_shards.

DESCRIPTION: Fix reference table lock contention
Dropping and creating reference tables unintentionally blocked on each other due to the use of an ExclusiveLock for both the Drop and conditionally copying existing reference tables to (new) nodes.
The patch does the following:
- Lower lock lever for dropping (reference) tables to `ShareLock` so they don't self conflict
- Treat reference tables and distributed tables equally and acquire the colocation lock when dropping any table that is in a colocation group
- Perform the precondition check for copying reference tables twice, first time with a lower lock that doesn't conflict with anything. Could have been a NoLock, however, in preparation for dropping a colocation group, it is an `AccessShareLock`
During normal operation the first check will always pass and we don't have to escalate that lock. Making it that we won't be blocked on adding and remove reference tables. Only after a node addition the first `create_reference_table` will still need to acquire an `ExclusiveLock` on the colocation group to perform the copy.
This is a refactoring PR that starts using our new hash table creation
helper function. It adds a few more macros for ease of use, because C
doesn't have default arguments. It also adds a macro to check if a
struct contains automatic padding bytes. No struct that is hashed using
tag_hash should have automatic padding bytes, because those bytes are
undefined and thus using them to create a hash will result in undefined
behaviour (usually a random hash).
**Intro**
This adds support to Citus to change the CPU priority values of
backends. This is created with two main usecases in mind:
1. Users might want to run the logical replication part of the shard moves
or shard splits at a higher speed than they would do by themselves.
This might cause some small loss of DB performance for their regular
queries, but this is often worth it. During high load it's very possible
that the logical replication WAL sender is not able to keep up with the
WAL that is generated. This is especially a big problem when the
machine is close to running out of disk when doing a rebalance.
2. Users might have certain long running queries that they don't impact
their regular workload too much.
**Be very careful!!!**
Using CPU priorities to control scheduling can be helpful in some cases
to control which processes are getting more CPU time than others.
However, due to an issue called "[priority inversion][1]" it's possible that
using CPU priorities together with the many locks that are used within
Postgres cause the exact opposite behavior of what you intended. This
is why this PR only allows the PG superuser to change the CPU priority
of its own processes. Currently it's not recommended to set `citus.cpu_priority`
directly. Currently the only recommended interface for users is the setting
called `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`. This setting
controls CPU priority for a very limited set of processes (the logical
replication senders). So, the dangers of priority inversion are also limited
with when using it for this usecase.
**Background**
Before reading the rest it's important to understand some basic
background regarding process CPU priorities, because they are a bit
counter intuitive. A lower priority value, means that the process will
be scheduled more and whatever it's doing will thus complete faster. The
default priority for processes is 0. Valid values are from -20 to 19
inclusive. On Linux a larger difference between values of two processes
will result in a bigger difference in percentage of scheduling.
**Handling the usecases**
Usecase 1 can be achieved by setting `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`
to the priority value that you want it to have. It's necessary to set
this both on the workers and the coordinator. Example:
```
citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders = -10
```
Usecase 2 can with this PR be achieved by running the following as
superuser. Note that this is only possible as superuser currently
due to the dangers mentioned in the "Be very carefull!!!" section.
And although this is possible it's **NOT** recommended:
```sql
ALTER USER background_job_user SET citus.cpu_priority = 5;
```
**OS configuration**
To actually make these settings work well it's important to run Postgres
with more a more permissive value for the 'nice' resource limit than
Linux will do by default. By default Linux will not allow a process to
set its priority lower than it currently is, even if it was lower when
the process originally started. This capability is necessary to reset
the CPU priority to its original value after a transaction finishes.
Depending on how you run Postgres this needs to be done in one of two
ways:
If you use systemd to start Postgres all you have to do is add a line
like this to the systemd service file:
```conf
LimitNice=+0 # the + is important, otherwise its interpreted incorrectly as 20
```
If that's not the case you'll have to configure `/etc/security/limits.conf`
like so, assuming that you are running Postgres as the `postgres` OS user:
```
postgres soft nice 0
postgres hard nice 0
```
Finally you'd have add the following line to `/etc/pam.d/common-session`
```
session required pam_limits.so
```
These settings would allow to change the priority back after setting it
to a higher value.
However, to actually allow you to set priorities even lower than the
default priority value you would need to change the values in the
config to something lower than 0. So for example:
```conf
LimitNice=-10
```
or
```
postgres soft nice -10
postgres hard nice -10
```
If you use WSL2 you'll likely have to do another thing. You have to
open a new shell, because when PAM is only used during login, and
WSL2 doesn't actually log you in. You can force a login like this:
```
sudo su $USER --shell /bin/bash
```

When introducing non-blocking shard split functionality it was based
heavily on the non-blocking shard moves. However, differences between
usage was slightly to big to be able to reuse the existing functions
easily. So, most logical replication code was simply copied to dedicated
shard split functions and modified for that purpose.
This PR tries to create a more generic logical replication
infrastructure that can be used by both shard splits and shard moves.
There's probably more code sharing possible in the future, but I believe
this is at least a good start and addresses the lowest hanging fruit.
This also adds a CreateSimpleHash function that makes creating the
most common type of hashmap common.
DESCRIPTION: Use faster custom copy logic for non-blocking shard moves
Non-blocking shard moves consist of two main phases:
1. Initial data copy
2. Catchup phase
This changes the first of these phases significantly. Previously we used the
copy logic provided by postgres subscriptions. This meant we didn't have
to implement it ourselves, but it came with the downside of little control.
When implementing shard splits we needed more control to even make it
work, so we implemented our own logic for copying data between nodes.
This PR starts using that logic for non-blocking shard moves. Doing so
has four main advantages:
1. It uses COPY in binary format when possible, which is cheaper to encode
and decode. Furthermore it very often results in less data that needs to
be sent over the network.
2. It allows us to create the primary key (or other replica identity) after doing
the initial data copy. This should give some speed up over the total run,
because creating an index is bulk is much faster than incrementally building it.
3. It doesn't require a replication slot per parallel copy. Increasing the maximum
number of replication slots uses resources in postgres, even if they are not used.
So reducing the number of replication slots that shard moves need is nice.
4. Logical replication table_sync workers are slow to start up, so if lots of shards
need to be copied that can make it quite slow. This can happen easily when
combining Postgres partitioning with Citus.
It turns out that create_distributed_table
and citus_move/copy_shard_placement does not
work well concurrently.
To fix that, we need to acquire a lock, which
sounds like a good use of colocation lock.
However, the current usage of colocation lock is
limited to higher level UDFs like rebalance_table_shards
etc. Those usage of lock is still useful, but
we cannot acquire the same lock on citus_move_shard_placement
etc. because the coordinator connects to itself to acquire
the lock. Hence, the high level UDF blocks itself.
To fix that, we use one more colocation lock, with the placements
are the main objects to consider.
Before this commit, we required multiple copies of the
same stringInfo if we needed to append/prepend data to
the stringInfo. Now, we optionally get prefix/postfix.
For large string operations, this can save up to %10
memory.
We used to only check whether the PID is valid
or not. However, Postgres does not necessarily
set the PID of the backend to 0 when it exists.
Instead, we need to be able to check it from procArray.
IsBackendPid() is what pg_stat_activity also relies
on for a similar purpose.

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`
It is often useful to be able to sync the metadata in parallel
across nodes.
Also citus_finalize_upgrade_to_citus11() uses
start_metadata_sync_to_primary_nodes() after this commit.
Note that this commit does not parallelize all pieces of node
activation or metadata syncing. Instead, it tries to parallelize
potenially large parts of metadata, which is the objects and
distributed tables (in general Citus tables).
In the future, it would be nice to sync the reference tables
in parallel across nodes.

* Created an ObjectAccessHook that saves the transactionlevel of when citus was created and will clear metadatacache if that transaction level is rolled back. Added additional tests to make sure metadatacache is cleared
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.
Before this commit, we had:
```SQL
SELECT citus_disable_node(nodename, nodeport, force boolean DEFAULT false)
```
Where, we allow forcing to disable first worker node with
`force:=true`. However, it entails the risk for losing
data / diverging placement data etc.
With `force` flag, we control disabling the first worker node,
and with `async` flag we control whether the changes are done
via bg worker or immediately.
```SQL
SELECT citus_disable_node(nodename, nodeport, force boolean DEFAULT false, sync boolean DEFAULT false)
```
Where we can achieve all the following:
| Mode | Data loss possibility | Can run in 2PC | Handle multiple node failures | Immediately effective |
| --- |--- |--- |--- |--- |
| force:false, sync: false | false | true | true | false |
| force:false, sync: true | false | false | false | true |
| force:true, sync: false | true | true | true | false |
| force:true, sync: true | false | false | false | true |
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.
We have a mechanism which ensures that newly distributed
objects are recorded during `alter extension citus update`.
However, the logic was lacking "view"s. With this commit, we make
sure that existing views are also marked as distributed during
upgrade.
Adds support for propagation ALTER VIEW commands to
- Change owner of view
- SET/RESET option
- Rename view and view's column name
- Change schema of the view
Since PG also supports targeting views with ALTER TABLE
commands, related code also added to direct such ALTER TABLE
commands to ALTER VIEW commands while sending them to workers.
Breaking down #5899 into smaller PR-s
This particular PR changes the way TRUNCATE acquires distributed locks on the relations it is truncating to use the LOCK command instead of lock_relation_if_exists. This has the benefit of using pg's recursive locking logic it implements for the LOCK command instead of us having to resolve relation dependencies and lock them explicitly. While this does not directly affect truncate, it will allow us to generalize this locking logic to then log different relations where the pg recursive locking will become useful (e.g. locking views).
This implementation is a bit more complex that it needs to be due to pg not supporting locking foreign tables. We can however, still lock foreign tables with lock_relation_if_exists. So for a command:
TRUNCATE dist_table_1, dist_table_2, foreign_table_1, foreign_table_2, dist_table_3;
We generate and send the following command to all the workers in metadata:
```sql
SEL citus.enable_ddl_propagation TO FALSE;
LOCK dist_table_1, dist_table_2 IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE;
SELECT lock_relation_if_exists('foreign_table_1', 'ACCESS EXCLUSIVE');
SELECT lock_relation_if_exists('foreign_table_2', 'ACCESS EXCLUSIVE');
LOCK dist_table_3 IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE;
SEL citus.enable_ddl_propagation TO TRUE;
```
Note that we need to alternate between the lock command and lock_table_if_exists in order to preserve the TRUNCATE order of relations.
When pg supports locking foreign tables, we will be able to massive simplify this logic and send a single LOCK command.
Adds support for propagating create/drop view commands and views to
worker node while scaling out the cluster. Since views are dropped while
converting the table type, metadata connection will be used while
propagating view commands to not switch to sequential mode.
* 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.
Author: Yanwen Jin
* Separate citus and citus_columnar modules.
Now the modules are independent. Columnar can be loaded by itself, or
along with citus.

We've had custom versions of Postgres its `foreach` macro which with a
hidden ListCell for quite some time now. People like these custom
macros, because they are easier to use and require less boilerplate.
This adds similar custom versions of Postgres its `forboth` macro. Now
you don't need ListCells anymore when looping over two lists at the same
time.
Before this commit, we erroneously converted the sequence
type to the column's type it is used. However, it is possible
that the sequence is used in an expression which then converted
to a type that cannot be a sequence, such as text.
With this commit, we only try this conversion if the column
type is a supported sequence type (e.g., smallint, int and bigint).
Note that we do this conversion because if the column type is a
bigint and the sequence is NOT a bigint, users would be in trouble
because sequences would generate values that are out of the range
of the column. (The other ways are already not supported such as
the column is int and the sequence is bigint would fail on the worker.)
In other words, with this commit, we scope this optimization only
when the target column type is a supported sequence type. Otherwise,
we let users to more freely use the sequences.
TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY objects depend on TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE objects.
Since we do not yet support distributed TS TEMPLATE objects, we skip
dependency checks for text search templates, similar to what we do for
roles.
The user is expected to manually create the TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE objects
before a) adding new nodes, b) creating TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY objects.
If a worker node is being added, a command is sent to get the server_id of the worker from the pg_dist_node_metadata table. If the worker's id is the same as the node executing the code, we will know the node is trying to add itself. If the node tries to add itself without specifying `groupid:=0` the operation will result in an error.
1) Remove useless columns
2) Show backends that are blocked on a DDL even before
gpid is assigned
3) One minor bugfix, where we clear distributedCommandOriginator
properly.
DESCRIPTION: Move pg_dist_object to pg_catalog
Historically `pg_dist_object` had been created in the `citus` schema as an experiment to understand if we could move our catalog tables to a branded schema. We quickly realised that this interfered with the UX on our managed services and other environments, where users connected via a user with the name of `citus`.
By default postgres put the username on the search_path. To be able to read the catalog in the `citus` schema we would need to grant access permissions to the schema. This caused newly created objects like tables etc, to default to this schema for creation. This failed due to the write permissions to that schema.
With this change we move the `pg_dist_object` catalog table to the `pg_catalog` schema, where our other schema's are also located. This makes the catalog table visible and readable by any user, like our other catalog tables, for debugging purposes.
Note: due to the change of schema, we had to disable 1 test that was running into a discrepancy between the schema and binary. Secondly, we needed to make the lookup functions for the `pg_dist_object` relation and their indexes less strict on the fallback of the naming due to an other test that, due to an unfortunate cache invalidation, needed to lookup the relation again. This makes that we won't default to _only_ resolving from `pg_catalog` outside of upgrades.
Clusters created pre-Citus 11 mostly didn't have metadata sync enabled.
For those clusters, we add a utility UDF which fixes some minor issues
and sync the necessary objects to the workers.
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.
The issue in question is caused when rebalance / replication call `FullShardPlacementList` which returns all shard placements (including those in disabled nodes with `citus_disable_node`). Eventually, `FindFillStateForPlacement` looks for the state across active workers and fails to find a state for the placements which are in the disabled workers causing a seg fault shortly after.
Approach:
* `ActivePlacementHash` was not using the status of the shard placement's node to determine if the node it is active. Initially, I just fixed that.
* Additionally, I refactored the code which handles active shards in replication / rebalance to:
* use a single function to determine if a shard placement is active.
* do the shard active shard filtering before calling `RebalancePlacementUpdates` and `ReplicationPlacementUpdates`, so test methods like `shard_placement_rebalance_array` and `shard_placement_replication_array` which have different shard placement active requirements can do their own filtering while using the same rebalance / replicate logic that `rebalance_table_shards` and `replicate_table_shards` use.
