With Citus 11, the default behavior is to sync the metadata.
However, partitioned tables created pre-Citus 11 might have
index names that are not compatiable with metadata syncing.
See https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/4962 for the
details.
With this commit, we record the existence of partitioned tables
such that we can fix it later if any exists.
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.
Considering all code-paths that we might interact with a columnar table,
add `CheckCitusVersion` calls to tableAM callbacks:
- initializing table scan (`columnar_beginscan` & `columnar_index_fetch_begin`)
- setting a new filenode for a relation (storage initializiation or a table rewrite)
- truncating the storage
- inserting tuple (single and multi)
Also add `CheckCitusVersion` call to:
- drop hook (`ColumnarTableDropHook`)
- `alter_columnar_table_set` & `alter_columnar_table_reset` UDFs
We often change result types of functions slightly. Our downgrade tests
wouldn't notice these changes. This change adds them to the description
of these items.
An example of an SQL change that isn't caught without this change and is
caught with the get_rebalance_progress change in this PR:
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/4963
As the previous versions of Citus don't know how to handle citus local
tables, we should prevent downgrading from 9.5 to older versions if any
citus local tables exists.
DESCRIPTION: Alter role only works for citus managed roles
Alter role was implemented before we implemented good role management that hooks into the object propagation framework. This is a refactor of all alter role commands that have been implemented to
- be on by default
- only work for supported roles
- make the citus extension owner a supported role
Instead of distributing the alter role commands for roles at the beginning of the node activation role it now _only_ executes the alter role commands for all users in all databases and in the current database.
In preparation of full role support small refactors have been done in the deparser.
Earlier tests targeting other roles than the citus extension owner have been either slightly changed or removed to be put back where we have full role support.
Fixes#2549
- Stop the daemon when citus extension is dropped
- Bail on maintenance daemon startup if myDbData is started with a non-zero pid
- Stop maintenance daemon from spawning itself
- Don't use postgres die, just wrap proc_exit(0)
- Assert(myDbData->workerPid == MyProcPid)
The two issues were that multiple daemons could be running for a database,
or that a daemon would be leftover after DROP EXTENSION citus
DESCRIPTION: Propagate ALTER FUNCTION statements for distributed functions
Using the implemented deparser for function statements to propagate changes to both functions and procedures that are previously distributed.
@thanodnl told me it was a bit of a problem that it's impossible to see
the history of a UDF in git. The only way to do so is by reading all the
sql migration files from new to old. Another problem is that it's also
hard to review the changed UDF during code review, because to find out
what changed you have to do the same. I thought of a IMHO better (but
not perfect) way to handle this.
We keep the definition of a UDF in sql/udfs/{name_of_udf}/latest.sql.
That file we change whenever we need to make a change to the the UDF. On
top of that you also make a snapshot of the file in
sql/udfs/{name_of_udf}/{migration-version}.sql (e.g. 9.0-1.sql) by
copying the contents. This way you can easily view what the actual
changes were by looking at the latest.sql file.
There's still the question on how to use these files then. Sadly
postgres doesn't allow inclusion of other sql files in the migration sql
file (it does in psql using \i). So instead I used the C preprocessor+
make to compile a sql/xxx.sql to a build/sql/xxx.sql file. This final
build/sql/xxx.sql file has every occurence of #include "somefile.sql" in
sql/xxx.sql replaced by the contents of somefile.sql.
DESCRIPTION: Refactor ensure schema exists to dependency exists
Historically we only supported schema's as table dependencies to be created on the workers before a table gets distributed. This PR puts infrastructure in place to walk pg_depend to figure out which dependencies to create on the workers. Currently only schema's are supported as objects to create before creating a table.
We also keep track of dependencies that have been created in the cluster. When we add a new node to the cluster we use this catalog to know which objects need to be created on the worker.
Side effect of knowing which objects are already distributed is that we don't have debug messages anymore when creating schema's that are already created on the workers.
DESCRIPTION: Add functions to help with postgres upgrades
Currently there is [a list of manual steps](https://docs.citusdata.com/en/v8.2/admin_guide/upgrading_citus.html?highlight=upgrade#upgrading-postgresql-version-from-10-to-11) to perform during a postgres upgrade. These steps guarantee our catalog tables are kept and counter values are maintained across upgrades.
Having more than 1 command in our docs for users to manually execute during upgrades is error prone for both the user, and our docs. There are already 2 catalog tables that have been introduced to citus that have not been added to our docs for backing up during upgrades (`pg_authinfo` and `pg_dist_poolinfo`).
As we add more functionality to citus we run into situations where there are more steps required either before or after the upgrade. At the same time, when we move catalog tables to a place where the contents will be maintained automatically during upgrades we could have less steps in our docs. This will come to a hard to maintain matrix of citus versions and steps to be performed.
Instead we could take ownership of these steps within the extension itself. This PR introduces two new functions for the user to use instead of long lists of error prone instructions to follow.
- `citus_prepare_pg_upgrade`
This function should be called by the user right before shutting down the cluster. This will ensure all citus catalog tables are backed up in a location where the information will be retained during an upgrade.
- `citus_finish_pg_upgrade`
This function should be called right after a pg_upgrade of the cluster. This will restore the catalog tables to the state before the upgrade happend.
Both functions need to be executed both on the coordinator and on all the workers, in the same fashion our current documentation instructs to do.
There are two known problems with this function in its current form, which is also a problem with our docs. We should schedule time in the future to improve on this, but having it automated now is better as we are about to add extra steps to take after upgrades.
- When you install citus in a clean cluster we do enable ssl for communication between the coordinator and the workers. If an upgrade to a clean cluster is performed we do not setup ssl on the new cluster causing the communication to fail.
- There are no automated tests added in this PR to execute an upgrade test durning every build.
Our current test infrastructure does not allow for 2 versions of postgres to exist in the same environment. We will need to invest time to create a new testing harness that could run the following scenario:
1. Create cluster
2. Run extensible scripts to execute arbitrary statements on this cluster
3. Perform an upgrade by preparing, upgrading and finishing
4. Run extensible scripts to verify all objects created by earlier scripts exists in correct form in the upgraded cluster
Given the non trivial amount of work involved for such a suite I'd like to land this before we have
automated testing.
On a side note; As the reviewer noticed, the tables created in the public namespace are not visible in `psql` with `\d`. The backup catalog tables have the same name as the tables in `pg_catalog`. Due to postgres internals `pg_catalog` is first in the search path and therefore the non-qualified name would alwasy resolve to `pg_catalog.pg_dist_*`. Internally this is called a non-visible table as it would resolve to a different table without a qualified name. Only visible tables are shown with `\d`.
