Before, this was the default mode for CustomScan providers.
Now, the default is to assume that they can't project.
This causes performance penalties due to adding unnecessary
Result nodes.
Hence we use the newly added flag, CUSTOMPATH_SUPPORT_PROJECTION
to get it back to how it was.
In PG15 support branch we created explain functions to ignore
the new Result nodes, so we undo that in this commit.
Relevant PG commit:

Code snippet in Makefile was blocking Citus build when USE_PGXS flag was set. This was included for port to FSPG but is not needed for Citus engine and can be safely removed.
Reported bug #5803 shows that we are currently not sending the IN clause to our planner for columnar. This PR fixes it by checking for ScalarArrayOpExpr in ExtractPushdownClause so that we do not skip it. Also added a test case for this new addition.

Move internal storage details to a separate schema with no public
access to limit the possibility for information leakage.
Create views with public access that show storage details for those
columnar tables where the user has ownership privileges. Include
mapping between relation ID and storage ID for easier interpretation.
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.
* 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.

Removed dependency for EnsureTableOwner. Also removed pg_fini() and columnar_tableam_finish() Still need to remove CheckCitusVersion dependency to make Columnar_tableam.h dependency free from Citus.
When creating a new table, we bypass the buffer cache and write the
initial pages directly with smgrwrite(). However, you're supposed to
use smgrextend() when extending a relation, rather than smgrwrite().
There isn't much difference between them, but smgrextend() updates the
relation size cache, which seems important, although I haven't seen
any real bugs caused by that.
Also, write the block to disk only after WAL-logging it, so that we
can include the LSN of the WAL record in the version that we write
out. Currently, the page as written to disk has LSN 0. That doesn't
cause any user-visible issues either, at worst it could make us
WAL-log a full page image of the page earlier than necessary, but that
doesn't matter currently because we WAL-log full page images of all
changes anyway.
I bumped into that issue with LSN 0 in the page header when testing
Citus with Zenith (https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith/issues/1176).
Zenith contains a check that PANICs if you write a block to disk
without WAL-logging it, and it works by checking the LSN of the page
that's written out. In this case, we are WAL-logging the page even
though the LSN on the page is 0, so it was a false alarm, but I'd love
to get this changed in Citus to keep the check in Zenith simple.
A downside of WAL-logging the page first is that if you run out of
disk space, you have already created the WAL record. So if you then
crash and restart, WAL recovery will likely run out of disk space,
too, which is bad. In practice, we have the same problem in other
places, like rewriteheap.c. Also, if you are on the brink of running
out of disk space, you will probably run out at WAL replay anyway,
regardless of which order we write these few pages. But if we wanted
to fix that, we could first extend the relation with zeros, and then
WAL-log the pages. That's how heap extension works.
It would be even nicer to use the buffer cache for this, and skip the
smgrimmedsync() on the relation. However, that would require more
work, because we don't have the Relation struct for the relation here.
We could use ReadBufferWithoutRelcache(), but that doesn't work for
unlogged tables. Unlogged tables are currently not supported
(https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/4742), but that would
become a problem if we want to support them in the future.
CreateFakeRelcacheEntry() also doesn't work with unlogged tables. We
could do things differently for logged and unlogged tables, but that
complicates the code further.

* Removed distributed dependency in columnar_metadata.c
* Changed columnar_debug.c so that it no longer needed distributed/tuplestore and made it return a record instead of a tuplestore
* removed distributed/commands.h dependency
* Made columnar_tableam.c dependency-free
* Fixed spacing for columnar_store_memory_stats function
* indentation fix
* fixed test failures
Split distributed/version_compat.h into dependency-free
pg_version_compat.h, and the original which still has
dependencies. The original doesn't have much purpose, but until other
files have better discipline about including the correct header files,
then it's still needed.
Also make distributed/listutils.h dependency-free. Should be moved
outside of 'distributed' subdirectory, but that will cause significant
code churn, so leave for another cleanup patch.
Now both files can be included in columnar without creating a
dependency on citus.
Previously, we cheated by using the RM_GENERIC_ID record type, but not
actually using the generic WAL API. This worked because we always took
a full page image, and saved the extra work of allocating and copying
to a temporary page.
But it introduced complexity, and perhaps fragility, so better to just
use the API properly. The performance penalty for a serial data load
seems to be less than 1%.
PostgreSQL does not need calling this function since 7.4 release, and it
is a NOOP.

When refactoring storage layer in #4907, we deleted the code that allows
overwriting a disk page previously written but not known by metadata.
Readers can see the change that introduced the code allows doing so in
commit a8da9acc63.
The reasoning was that; as of 10.2, we started aligning page
reservations (`AlignReservation`) for subsequent writes right after
allocating pages from disk. That means, even if writer transaction
fails, subsequent writes are guaranteed to allocate a new page and write
to there. For this reason, attempting to write to a page allocated
before is not possible for a columnar table that user created when using
v10.2.x.
However, since the older versions of columnar doesn't do that, following
example scenario can still result in writing to such disk page, even if
user now upgraded to v10.2.x. This is because, when upgrading storage to
2.0 (`ColumnarStorageUpdateIfNeeded`), we calculate `reservedOffset` of
the metapage based on the highest used address known by stripe
metadata (`GetHighestUsedAddressAndId`). However, stripe metadata
doesn't have entries for aborted writes. As a result, highest used
address would be computed by ignoring pages that are allocated but not
used.
- User attempts writing to columnar table on Citus v10.0x/v10.1x.
- Write operation fails for some reason.
- User upgrades Citus to v10.2.x.
- When attempting to write to same columnar table, they hit to "attempt
to write columnar data .." error since write operation done in the
older version of columnar already allocated that page, and now we are
overwriting it.
For this reason, with this commit, we re-do the change done in
a8da9acc63.
And for the reasons given above, it wasn't possible to add a test for
this commit via usual code-paths. For this reason, added a UDF only for
testing purposes so that we can reproduce the exact scenario in our
regression test suite.
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.
Drop extension might cascade to columnar.options before dropping a
columnar table. In that case, we were getting below error when opening
columnar.options to delete records for the columnar table that we are
about to drop.: "ERROR: could not open relation with OID 0".
I somehow reproduced this bug easily when upgrading pg, that is why
adding added the test to after_pg_upgrade_schedule.
Under high write concurrency, we were sometimes reading columnar
metapage as all zeros.
In `WriteToBlock()`, if `clear == true`, then it will clear the page before
writing the new one, rather than just adding data to the page. That
means any concurrent connection that is holding only a pin will be
able to see the all-zero state between the `InitPage()` and the
`memcpy_s()`.
Moreover, postgres/storage/buffer/README states that:
> Buffer access rules:
>
> 1. To scan a page for tuples, one must hold a pin and either shared or
> exclusive content lock. To examine the commit status (XIDs and status bits)
> of a tuple in a shared buffer, one must likewise hold a pin and either shared
> or exclusive lock.
For those reasons, we have to make sure to never keep a pin on the
page without (at least) the shared lock, to avoid having such problems.
A write operation might trigger index deletion if index already had
dead entries for the key we are about to insert.
There are two ways of index deletion:
a) simple deletion
b) bottom-up deletion (>= pg14)
Since columnar_index_fetch_tuple never sets all_dead to true,
columnarAM doesn't ever expect to receive simple deletion requests
(columnar_index_delete_tuples) as we don't mark any index entries
as dead.
However, since columnarAM doesn't delete any dead entries via simple
deletion, postgres might ask for a more comprehensive deletion
(i.e.: bottom-up) at some point when pg >= 14.
So with this commit, we start gracefully ignoring bottom-up deletion
requests made to columnar_index_delete_tuples.
Given that users can anyway "VACUUM FULL" their columnar tables,
we don't see any problem in ignoring deletion requests.
* 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.

BuildStripeMetadata() calls HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin(), which must only
be called on a proper heap tuple with MVCC information. Make sure the
caller passes the heap tuple, and not a datum tuple.
Fixes#5318.
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
* Columnar: separate plain and exec quals.
Make a clear separation between plain quals, which contain constants
or extern params; and exec quals, which contain exec params and can't
be evaluated until a rescan.
Fixes#5258.
* more vanilla tests

When performing a partition-wise join, the planner will adjust paths
parameterized by the parent rel to instead parameterize by the child
rel directly. When this reparameterization happens, we also need to
adjust the join quals to reference the child rather than the parent.
Fixes#5257.
Not flush pending writes if given tid belongs to a "flushed" or
"aborted" stripe write, or to an "in-progress" stripe write of
another backend.
That way, we would reduce the cases where we flush single-tuple
stripes during index scan.
To do that, we follow below steps for index look-up's:
- Do not flush any pending writes and do stripe metadata look-up for
given tid.
If tuple with tid is found, then no need to do another look-up
since we already found the tuple without needing to flush pending
writes.
- If tuple is not found without flushing pending writes, then we have two
scenarios:
- If given tid belongs to a pending write of my backend, then do stripe
metadata look-up for given tid. But this time first **flush any pending
writes**.
- Otherwise, just return false from `index_fetch_tuple` since flushing
pending writes wouldn't help.
With 5825c44d5f, we made the changes to
skip aborted writes when scanning a columnar table.
However, looks like we forgot to handle such cases for the very first
call made to columnar_getnextslot. That means, that commit only
considered the intermediate stripe read operations.
However, functions called by columnar_getnextslot to find first stripe
to read (ColumnarBeginRead & ColumnarRescan) were not caring about
those aborted writes.
To fix that, we teach AdvanceStripeRead to find the very first stripe
to read, and then start using it where were blindly calling
FindNextStripeByRowNumber.
Previously, even when `EXPLAIN` output tells that we will do
index-only scan, it was never the case since columnar tables
don't have the visibility fork that postgres is looking for.
For this reason, visibility check done in
`IndexOnlyNext->VM_ALL_VISIBLE`
code-path was always returning false and postgres was reading
the tuple from the columnar relation itself.
