With the introduction of #4385 we inadvertently started allowing and
pushing down certain lateral subqueries that were unsafe to push down.
To be precise the type of LATERAL subqueries that is unsafe to push down
has all of the following properties:
1. The lateral subquery contains some non recurring tuples
2. The lateral subquery references a recurring tuple from
outside of the subquery (recurringRelids)
3. The lateral subquery requires a merge step (e.g. a LIMIT)
4. The reference to the recurring tuple should be something else than an
equality check on the distribution column, e.g. equality on a non
distribution column.
Property number four is considered both hard to detect and probably not
used very often. Thus this PR ignores property number four and causes
query planning to error out if the first three properties hold.
Fixes#5327
* Hide citus.subquery_pushdown flag
This flag is dangerous and could likely to let queries
return wrong results.
The flag has a very specific purpose for a very specific
data distribution and query structure. In those cases, when
the flag is set, the user can skip recursive planning altogether
*at their own risk*.
The meaning of the flag is that "I know what I'm doing such that
the query structure/data distribution is on my control, so Citus
can skip many correctness checks".
For regular users, enabling this flag is discouraged. We have to
keep the support only for backward compatibility for some users.
In addition to that, give a NOTICE to discourage new users to
use it.

* add basic logic to run a single job with repartioning joins with adaptive executor
* fix some warnings and return in ExecuteDependedTasks if there is none
* Add the logic to run depended jobs in adaptive executor
The execution of depended tasks logic is changed. With the current
logic:
- All tasks are created from the top level task list.
- At one iteration:
- CurTasks whose dependencies are executed are found.
- CurTasks are executed in parallel with adapter executor main
logic.
- The iteration is repeated until all tasks are completed.
* Separate adaptive executor repartioning logic
* Remove duplicate parts
* cleanup directories and schemas
* add basic repartion tests for adaptive executor
* Use the first placement to fetch data
In task tracker, when there are replicas, we try to fetch from a replica
for which a map task is succeeded. TaskExecution is used for this,
however TaskExecution is not used in adaptive executor. So we cannot use
the same thing as task tracker.
Since adaptive executor fails when a map task fails (There is no retry
logic yet). We know that if we try to execute a fetch task, all of its
map tasks already succeeded, so we can just use the first one to fetch
from.
* fix clean directories logic
* do not change the search path while creating a udf
* Enable repartition joins with adaptive executor with only enable_reparitition_joins guc
* Add comments to adaptive_executor_repartition
* dont run adaptive executor repartition test in paralle with other tests
* execute cleanup only in the top level execution
* do cleanup only in the top level ezecution
* not begin a transaction if repartition query is used
* use new connections for repartititon specific queries
New connections are opened to send repartition specific queries. The
opened connections will be closed at the FinishDistributedExecution.
While sending repartition queries no transaction is begun so that
we can see all changes.
* error if a modification was done prior to repartition execution
* not start a transaction if a repartition query and sql task, and clean temporary files and schemas at each subplan level
* fix cleanup logic
* update tests
* add missing function comments

* rollback instead of commit in repartition join test
* use close connection instead of shutdown connection
* remove unnecesary connection list, ensure schema owner before removing directory
* rename ExecuteTaskListRepartition
* put fetch query string in planner not executor as we currently support only replication factor = 1 with adaptive executor and repartition query and we know the query string in the planner phase in that case
* split adaptive executor repartition to DAG execution logic and repartition logic

When citus.enable_repartition_joins guc is set to on, and we have
adaptive executor, there was a typo in the debug message, which was
saying realtime executor no adaptive executor.
We used to rely on PG function flatten_join_alias_vars
to resolve actual columns referenced in target entry list.
The function goes deep and finds the actual relation. This logic
usually works fine. However, when joins are given an alias, inner
relation names are not visible to target entry entry. Thus relation
resolving should stop when we the target entry column refers an
rte of an aliased join.
We stopped using PG function and provided our own flatten function.
Previously we checked if an operator is in pg_catalog, and if it wasn't we prefixed it with namespace in worker queries. This can have a huge impact on performance of physical planner when using custom data types.
This happened regardless of current search_path config, because Citus overrides the search path in get_query_def_extended(). When we do so, the check for existence of the operator in current search path in generate_operator_name() fails for any operators outside pg_catalog. This means that nothing gets cached, and in the following calls we will again recheck the system tables for existence of the operators, which took an additional 40-50ms for some of the usecases we were seeing.
In this change we skip the pg_catalog check, and always prefix the operator with its namespace.
This is the first of series of window function work.
We can now support window functions that can be pushed down to workers.
Window function must have distribution column in the partition clause
to be pushed down.
With #1804 (and related PRs), Citus gained the ability to
plan subqueries that are not safe to pushdown.
There are two high-level requirements for pushing down subqueries:
* Individual subqueries that require a merge step (i.e., GROUP BY
on non-distribution key, or LIMIT in the subquery etc). We've
handled such subqueries via #1876.
* Combination of subqueries that are not joined on distribution keys.
This commit aims to recursively plan some of such subqueries to make
the whole query safe to pushdown.
The main logic behind non colocated subquery joins is that we pick
an anchor range table entry and check for distribution key equality
of any other subqueries in the given query. If for a given subquery,
we cannot find distribution key equality with the anchor rte, we
recursively plan that subquery.
We also used a hacky solution for picking relations as the anchor range
table entries. The hack is that we wrap them into a subquery. This is only
necessary since some of the attribute equivalance checks are based on
queries rather than range table entries.
We used to error out if the join clause includes filters like
t1.a < t2.a even if other filter like t1.key = t2.key exists.
Recently we lifted that restriction in subquery planning by
not lifting that restriction and focusing on equivalance classes
provided by postgres.
This checkin forwards previously erroring out real-time queries
due to join clauses to subquery planner and let it handle the
join even if the query does not have a subquery.
We are now pushing down queries that do not have any
subqueries in it. Error message looked misleading, changed to a more descriptive one.
With this commit, Citus recursively plans subqueries that
are not safe to pushdown, in other words, requires a merge
step.
The algorithm is simple: Recursively traverse the query from bottom
up (i.e., bottom meaning the leaf queries). On each level, check
whether the query is safe to pushdown (or a single repartition
subquery). If the answer is yes, do not touch that subquery. If the
answer is no, plan the subquery seperately (i.e., create a subPlan
for it) and replace the subquery with a call to
`read_intermediate_results(planId, subPlanId)`. During the the
execution, run the subPlans first, and make them avaliable to the
next query executions.
Some of the queries hat this change allows us:
* Subqueries with LIMIT
* Subqueries with GROUP BY/DISTINCT on non-partition keys
* Subqueries involving re-partition joins, router queries
* Mixed usage of subqueries and CTEs (i.e., use CTEs in
subqueries as well). Nested subqueries as long as we
support the subquery inside the nested subquery.
* Subqueries with local tables (i.e., those subqueries
has the limitation that they have to be leaf subqueries)
* VIEWs on the distributed tables just works (i.e., the
limitations mentioned below still applies to views)
Some of the queries that is still NOT supported:
* Corrolated subqueries that are not safe to pushdown
* Window function on non-partition keys
* Recursively planned subqueries or CTEs on the outer
side of an outer join
* Only recursively planned subqueries and CTEs in the FROM
(i.e., not any distributed tables in the FROM) and subqueries
in WHERE clause
* Subquery joins that are not on the partition columns (i.e., each
subquery is individually joined on partition keys but not the upper
level subquery.)
* Any limitation that logical planner applies such as aggregate
distincts (except for count) when GROUP BY is on non-partition key,
or array_agg with ORDER BY
This commit provides the support for window functions in subquery and insert
into select queries. Note that our support for window functions is still limited
because it must have a partition by clause on the distribution key. This commit
makes changes in the files insert_select_planner and multi_logical_planner. The
required tests are also added with files multi_subquery_window_functions.out
and multi_insert_select_window.out.
* Support for subqueries in WHERE clause
This commit enables subqueries in WHERE clause to be pushed down
by the subquery pushdown logic.
The support covers:
- Correlated subqueries with IN, NOT IN, EXISTS, NOT EXISTS,
operator expressions such as (>, <, =, ALL, ANY etc.)
- Non-correlated subqueries with (partition_key) IN (SELECT partition_key ..)
(partition_key) =ANY (SELECT partition_key ...)
Note that this commit heavily utilizes the attribute equivalence logic introduced
in the 1cb6a34ba8. In general, this commit mostly
adjusts the logical planner not to error out on the subqueries in WHERE clause.
* Improve error checks for subquery pushdown and INSERT ... SELECT
Since we allow subqueries in WHERE clause with the previous commit,
we should apply the same limitations to those subqueries.
With this commit, we do not iterate on each subquery one by one.
Instead, we extract all the subqueries and apply the checks directly
on those subqueries. The aim of this change is to (i) Simplify the
code (ii) Make it close to the checks on INSERT .. SELECT code base.
* Extend checks for unresolved paramaters to include SubLinks
With the presence of subqueries in where clause (i.e., SubPlans on the
query) the existing way for checking unresolved parameters fail. The
reason is that the parameters for SubPlans are kept on the parent plan not
on the query itself (see primnodes.h for the details).
With this commit, instead of checking SubPlans on the modified plans
we start to use originalQuery, where SubLinks represent the subqueries
in where clause. The unresolved parameters can be found on the SubLinks.
* Apply code-review feedback
* Remove unnecessary copying of shard interval list
This commit removes unnecessary copying of shard interval list. Note
that there are no copyObject function implemented for shard intervals.
* Enabling physical planner for subquery pushdown changes
This commit applies the logic that exists in INSERT .. SELECT
planning to the subquery pushdown changes.
The main algorithm is followed as :
- pick an anchor relation (i.e., target relation)
- per each target shard interval
- add the target shard interval's shard range
as a restriction to the relations (if all relations
joined on the partition keys)
- Check whether the query is router plannable per
target shard interval.
- If router plannable, create a task
* Add union support within the JOINS
This commit adds support for UNION/UNION ALL subqueries that are
in the following form:
.... (Q1 UNION Q2 UNION ...) as union_query JOIN (QN) ...
In other words, we currently do NOT support the queries that are
in the following form where union query is not JOINed with
other relations/subqueries :
.... (Q1 UNION Q2 UNION ...) as union_query ....
* Subquery pushdown planner uses original query
With this commit, we change the input to the logical planner for
subquery pushdown. Before this commit, the planner was relying
on the query tree that is transformed by the postgresql planner.
After this commit, the planner uses the original query. The main
motivation behind this change is the simplify deparsing of
subqueries.
* Enable top level subquery join queries
This work enables
- Top level subquery joins
- Joins between subqueries and relations
- Joins involving more than 2 range table entries
A new regression test file is added to reflect enabled test cases
* Add top level union support
This commit adds support for UNION/UNION ALL subqueries that are
in the following form:
.... (Q1 UNION Q2 UNION ...) as union_query ....
In other words, Citus supports allow top level
unions being wrapped into aggregations queries
and/or simple projection queries that only selects
some fields from the lower level queries.
* Disallow subqueries without a relation in the range table list for subquery pushdown
This commit disallows subqueries without relation in the range table
list. This commit is only applied for subquery pushdown. In other words,
we do not add this limitation for single table re-partition subqueries.
The reasoning behind this limitation is that if we allow pushing down
such queries, the result would include (shardCount * expectedResults)
where in a non distributed world the result would be (expectedResult)
only.
* Disallow subqueries without a relation in the range table list for INSERT .. SELECT
This commit disallows subqueries without relation in the range table
list. This commit is only applied for INSERT.. SELECT queries.
The reasoning behind this limitation is that if we allow pushing down
such queries, the result would include (shardCount * expectedResults)
where in a non distributed world the result would be (expectedResult)
only.
* Change behaviour of subquery pushdown flag (#1315)
This commit changes the behaviour of the citus.subquery_pushdown flag.
Before this commit, the flag is used to enable subquery pushdown logic. But,
with this commit, that behaviour is enabled by default. In other words, the
flag is now useless. We prefer to keep the flag since we don't want to break
the backward compatibility. Also, we may consider using that flag for other
purposes in the next commits.
* Require subquery_pushdown when limit is used in subquery
Using limit in subqueries may cause returning incorrect
results. Therefore we allow limits in subqueries only
if user explicitly set subquery_pushdown flag.
* Evaluate expressions on the LIMIT clause (#1333)
Subquery pushdown uses orignal query, the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses
are not evaluated. However, logical optimizer expects these expressions
are already evaluated by the standard planner. This commit manually
evaluates the functions on the logical planner for subquery pushdown.
* Better format subquery regression tests (#1340)
* Style fix for subquery pushdown regression tests
With this commit we intented a more consistent style for the
regression tests we've added in the
- multi_subquery_union.sql
- multi_subquery_complex_queries.sql
- multi_subquery_behavioral_analytics.sql
* Enable the tests that are temporarily commented
This commit enables some of the regression tests that were commented
out until all the development is done.
* Fix merge conflicts (#1347)
- Update regression tests to meet the changes in the regression
test output.
- Replace Ifs with Asserts given that the check is already done
- Update shard pruning outputs
* Add view regression tests for increased subquery coverage (#1348)
- joins between views and tables
- joins between views
- union/union all queries involving views
- views with limit
- explain queries with view
* Improve btree operators for the subquery tests
This commit adds the missing comprasion for subquery composite key
btree comparator.
