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.
In #6405 I added better improved blocked process detection for isolation
tests. But when cleaning up unnecessary code I cleaned up a bit too
much. This actually includes the new function definition in our
migrations.
DESCRIPTION: Adds source_lsn and target_lsn fields into
get_rebalance_progress
Adding two fields named `source_lsn` and `target_lsn` to the function
`get_rebalance_progress`.
Target lsn data is fetched in `GetShardStatistics`, by expanding the
query sent to workers (joining with pg_subscription_rel and
pg_stat_subscription). Then put into the hashmap, for each shard.
Source lsn data is fetched in `BuildWorkerShardStatististicsHash`, in
the loop that iterate each node, by sending a pg_current_wal_lsn query
to each node. Then put into the hashmap, for each node.
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.
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();`.
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.
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'
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.

When using `citus.replicate_reference_tables_on_activate = off`,
reference tables need to be replicated later. This can be done using the
`replicate_reference_tables()` UDF. However, this function only allowed
blocking replication. This changes the function to default to logical
replication instead, and allows choosing any of our existing shard
transfer modes.
The new shard copy code that was created for shard splits has some
advantages over the old shard copy code. The old code was using
worker_append_table_to_shard, which wrote to disk twice. And it also
didn't use binary copy when that was possible. Both of these issues
were fixed in the new copy code. This PR starts using this new copy
logic also for shard moves, not just for shard splits.
On my local machine I created a single shard table like this.
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a) SELECT i, i from generate_series(1, 100000000) i;
```
I then turned `fsync` off to make sure I wasn't bottlenecked by disk.
Finally I moved this shard between nodes with `citus_move_shard_placement`
with `block_writes`.
Before this PR a move took ~127s, after this PR it took only ~38s. So for this
small test this resulted in spending ~70% less time.
And I also tried the same test for a table that contained large strings:
```sql
set citus.shard_count = 1;
create table t(id bigint, a bigint, content text);
select create_distributed_table('t', 'id');
INSERT into t(id, a, content) SELECT i, i, 'aunethautnehoautnheaotnuhetnohueoutnehotnuhetncouhaeohuaeochgrhgd.athbetndairgexdbuhaobulrhdbaetoausnetohuracehousncaoehuesousnaceohuenacouhancoexdaseohusnaetobuetnoduhasneouhaceohusnaoetcuhmsnaetohuacoeuhebtokteaoshetouhsanetouhaoug.lcuahesonuthaseauhcoerhuaoecuh.lg;rcydabsnetabuesabhenth' from generate_series(1, 20000000) i;
```
citus_locks combines the pg_locks views from all nodes and adds
global_pid, nodeid, and relation_name. The columns of citus_locks don't
change based on the Postgres version, however the pg_locks's columns do.
Postgres 14 added one more column to pg_locks (waitstart timestamptz).
citus_locks has the most expansive column set, including the newly added
column. If citus_locks is queried in a Postgres version where pg_locks
doesn't have some columns, the values for those columns in citus_locks
will be NULL

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.
Create ~720 distributed tables / ~23450 shards
```SQL

) PARTITION BY RANGE (created_at);
SELECT create_time_partitions(

partition_interval := '1 day',

);

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 |
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.
And also citus_calculate_gpid(nodeId,pid). These UDFs are just
wrappers for the existing functions. Useful for testing and simple
manipulation of citus_stat_activity.
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.
Before this commit, dumping wait edges can only be used for
distributed deadlock detection purposes. With this commit,
we open the possibility that we can use it for any backend.
DESCRIPTION: Implement TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION propagation
The change adds support to Citus for propagating TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION objects. TSConfig objects cannot always be created in one create statement, and instead require a create statement followed by many alter statements to get turned into the object they should represent.
To support this we add functionality to the worker to create or replace objects based on a list of statements. When the lists of the local object and the remote object correspond 1:1 we skip the creation of the object and simply mark it distributed. This is especially important for TSConfig objects as initdb pre-populates databases with a dozen configurations (for many different languages).
When the user creates a new TSConfig based on the copy of an existing configuration there is no direct link to the object copied from. Since there is no link we can't simply rely on propagating the dependencies to the worker and send a qualified
With this commit we've started to propagate sequences and shell
tables within the object dependency resolution. So, ensuring any
dependencies for any object will consider shell tables and sequences
as well. Separate logics for both shell tables and sequences have
been removed.
Since both shell tables and sequences logic were implemented as a
part of the metadata handling before that logic, we were propagating
them while syncing table metadata. With this commit we've divided
metadata (which means anything except shards thereafter) syncing
logic into multiple parts and implemented it either as a part of
ActivateNode. You can check the functions called in ActivateNode
to check definition of different metadata.
Definitions of start_metadata_sync_to_node and citus_activate_node
have also been updated. citus_activate_node will basically create
an active node with all metadata and reference table shards.
start_metadata_sync_to_node will be same with citus_activate_node
except replicating reference tables. stop_metadata_sync_to_node
will remove all the metadata. All of those UDFs need to be called
by superuser.

Dropping sequences means we need to recreate
and hence losing the sequence.
With this commit, we keep the existing sequences
such that resyncing wouldn't drop the sequence.
We do that by breaking the dependency of the sequence
from the table.
With this commit, fix_partition_shard_index_names()
works significantly faster.
For example,
32 shards, 365 partitions, 5 indexes drop from ~120 seconds to ~44 seconds
32 shards, 1095 partitions, 5 indexes drop from ~600 seconds to ~265 seconds
`queryStringList` can be really long, because it may contain #partitions * #indexes entries.
Before this change, we were actually going through the executor where each command
in the query string triggers 1 round trip per entry in queryStringList.
The aim of this commit is to avoid the round-trips by creating a single query string.
I first simply tried sending `q1;q2;..;qn` . However, the executor is designed to
handle `q1;q2;..;qn` type of query executions via the infrastructure mentioned
above (e.g., by tracking the query indexes in the list and doing 1 statement
per round trip).
One another option could have been to change the executor such that only track
the query index when `queryStringList` is provided not with queryString
including multiple `;`s . That is (a) more work (b) could cause weird edge
cases with failure handling (c) felt like coding a special case in to the executor
This UDF coordinates connectivity checks accross the whole cluster.
This UDF gets the list of active readable nodes in the cluster, and
coordinates all connectivity checks in sequential order.
The algorithm is:
for sourceNode in activeReadableWorkerList:
c = connectToNode(sourceNode)
for targetNode in activeReadableWorkerList:
result = c.execute(
"SELECT citus_check_connection_to_node(targetNode.name,
targetNode.port")
emit sourceNode.name,
sourceNode.port,
targetNode.name,
targetNode.port,
result
- result -> true -> connection attempt from source to target succeeded
- result -> false -> connection attempt from source to target failed
- result -> NULL -> connection attempt from the current node to source node failed
I suggest you use the following query to get an overview on the connectivity:
SELECT bool_and(COALESCE(result, false))
FROM citus_check_cluster_node_health();
Whenever this query returns false, there is a connectivity issue, check in detail.
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.
citus_check_connection_to_node runs a simple query on a remote node and
reports whether this attempt was successful.
This UDF will be used to make sure each worker node can connect to all
the worker nodes in the cluster.
parameters:
nodename: required
nodeport: optional (default: 5432)
return value:
boolean success
As of master branch, Citus does all the modifications to replicated tables
(e.g., reference tables and distributed tables with replication factor > 1),
via 2PC and avoids any shardstate=3. As a side-effect of those changes,
handling node failures for replicated tables change.
With this PR, when one (or multiple) node failures happen, the users would
see query errors on modifications. If the problem is intermitant, that's OK,
once the node failure(s) recover by themselves, the modification queries would
succeed. If the node failure(s) are permenant, the users should call
`SELECT citus_disable_node(...)` to disable the node. As soon as the node is
disabled, modification would start to succeed. However, now the old node gets
behind. It means that, when the node is up again, the placements should be
re-created on the node. First, use `SELECT citus_activate_node()`. Then, use
`SELECT replicate_table_shards(...)` to replicate the missing placements on
the re-activated node.
During pg upgrades, we have seen that it is not guaranteed that a
columnar table will be created after metadata objects got created.
Prior to changes done in this commit, we had such a dependency
relationship in `pg_depend`:
```
columnar_table ----> columnarAM ----> citus extension
^ ^
| |
columnar.storage_id_seq -------------------- |
|
columnar.stripe -------------------------------
```
Since `pg_upgrade` just knows to follow topological sort of the objects
when creating database dump, above dependency graph doesn't imply that
`columnar_table` should be created before metadata objects such as
`columnar.storage_id_seq` and `columnar.stripe` are created.
For this reason, with this commit we add new records to `pg_depend` to
make columnarAM depending on all rel objects living in `columnar`
schema. That way, `pg_upgrade` will know it needs to create those before
creating `columnarAM`, and similarly, before creating any tables using
`columnarAM`.
Note that in addition to inserting those records via installation script,
we also do the same in `citus_finish_pg_upgrade()`. This is because,
`pg_upgrade` rebuilds catalog tables in the new cluster and that means,
we must insert them in the new cluster too.
We recently introduced a set of patches to 10.2, and introduced 10.2-4
migration version. This migration version only resides on `release-10.2`
branch, and is missing on our default branch. This creates a problem
because we do not have a valid migration path from 10.2 to latest 11.0.
To remedy this issue, I copied the relevant migration files from
`release-10.2` branch, and renamed some of our migration files on
default branch to make sure we have a linear upgrade path.
* Add udf to include shardId in broken partition shard index names
* Address reviews: rename index such that operations can be done on it
* More comprehensive index tests
* Final touches and formatting
* Make (columnar.stripe) first_row_number index a unique constraint
Since stripe_first_row_number_idx is required to scan a columnar
table, we need to make sure that it is created before doing anything
with columnar tables during pg upgrades.
However, a plain btree index is not a dependency of a table, so
pg_upgrade cannot guarantee that stripe_first_row_number_idx gets
created when creating columnar.stripe, unless we make it a unique
"constraint".
To do that, drop stripe_first_row_number_idx and create a unique
constraint with the same name to keep the code change at minimum.
* Add more pg upgrade tests for columnar
* Fix a logic error in uprade_columnar_after test

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.
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.

Sometimes the background daemon doesn't cleanup orphaned shards quickly
enough. It's useful to have a UDF to trigger this removal when needed.
We already had a UDF like this but it was only used during testing. This
exposes that UDF to users. As a safety measure it cannot be run in a
transaction, because that would cause the background daemon to stop
cleaning up shards while this transaction is running.
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`.
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.

Postgres keeps AFTER trigger state for each transaction, because we can have deferred AFTER triggers which will be fired at the end of a transaction. Postgres cleans up this state at the end of transaction.
Postgres processes ON COMMIT triggers after cleaning-up the AFTER trigger states. So if we fire any triggers in ON COMMIT, the AFTER trigger state won't be cleaned-up properly and the transaction state will be left in an inconsistent state, which might result in assertion failure.
So with this commit, we remove foreign keys between columnar metadata tables and enforce constraints between them manually when dropping columnar tables.
