We use the backend shared memory lock for preventing
new backends to be part of a new distributed transaction
or an existing backend to leave a distributed transaction
while we're reading the all backends' data.
The primary goal is to provide consistent view of the
current distributed transactions while doing the
deadlock detection.
For partitioned tables, PostgreSQL opens partition and its partitions
in BeginCopyFrom and it expects its caller to close those relations.
However, we do not have quick access to opened relations and performing
special operations for partitioned tables isn't necessary in coordinator
node. Therefore before calling BeginCopyFrom, we change relkind of those
partitioned tables to RELKIND_RELATION. This prevents PostgreSQL to open
its partitions as well.
In standart_planner, PostgreSQL expands partitioned tables to their
partitions and call our restriction hook for each partition. It also,
for some queries, skips the partitioned table itself completely. This
behaviour makes it difficult to prune shards and decide whether query
is router plannable or not. To prevent this behaviour, we change inh
flag of partitioned tables to false in the query tree. In this case,
PostgreSQL treats those partitioned tables as regular relations and
does not expand them.
This behaviour is inline with our expectations, because we do not want
to treat partitioned tables differently on coordinator. Although we are
not entirely comfortable with modifying query tree, other solutions to
this problem is overly complicated.
With this PR, Citus starts to support all possible ways to create
distributed partitioned tables. These are;
- Distributing already created partitioning hierarchy
- CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF a distributed_table
- ALTER TABLE distributed_table ATTACH PARTITION non_distributed_table
- ALTER TABLE distributed_table ATTACH PARTITION distributed_table
We also support DETACHing partitions from partitioned tables and propogating
TRUNCATE and DDL commands to distributed partitioned tables.
This PR also refactors some parts of distributed table creation logic.
- master_activate_node and master_disable_node correctly toggle
isActive, without crashing
- master_add_node rejects duplicate nodes, even if they're in different
clusters
- master_remove_node allows removing nodes in different clusters
This change removes distributed tables' dependency on distribution key columns. We already check that we cannot drop distribution key columns in ErrorIfUnsupportedAlterTableStmt() at multi_utility.c, so we don't need to have distributed table to distribution key column dependency to avoid dropping of distribution key column.
Furthermore, having this dependency causes some warnings in pg_dump --schema-only (See #866), which are not desirable.
This change also adds check to disallow drop of distribution keys when citus.enable_ddl_propagation is set to false. Regression tests are updated accordingly.
This commit is preperation for introducing distributed partitioned
table support. We want to clean and refactor some code in distributed
table creation logic so that we can handle partitioned tables in more
robust way.
maxTaskStringSize determines the size of worker query string.
It was originally hard coded to a specific value. This has caused
issues at some users. Since it determines initial shared memory
allocation, we did not want to set it to an arbitrary higher number.
Instead made it configurable.
This commit introduces a new GUC variable max_task_string_size
Changes in this variable requires restart to be in effect.
In this commit, we add ability to convert global wait edges
into adjacency list with the following format:
[transactionId] = [transactionNode->waitsFor {list of waiting transaction nodes}]
This change adds a general purpose infrastructure to log and monitor
process about long running progresses. It uses
`pg_stat_get_progress_info` infrastructure, introduced with PostgreSQL
9.6 and used for tracking `VACUUM` commands.
This patch only handles the creation of a memory space in dynamic shared
memory, putting its info in `pg_stat_get_progress_info`, fetching the
progress monitors on demand and finalizing the progress tracking.
- Never release locks
- AddNodeMetadata takes ShareRowExclusiveLock so it'll conflict with the
trigger which prevents multiple primary nodes.
- ActivateNode and SetNodeState used to take AccessShareLock, but they
modify the table so they should take RowExclusiveLock.
- DeleteNodeRow and InsertNodeRow used to take AccessExclusiveLock but
only need RowExclusiveLock.
- master_add_node enforces that there is only one primary per group
- there's also a trigger on pg_dist_node to prevent multiple primaries
per group
- functions in metadata cache only return primary nodes
- Rename ActiveWorkerNodeList -> ActivePrimaryNodeList
- Rename WorkerGetLive{Node->Group}Count()
- Refactor WorkerGetRandomCandidateNode
- master_remove_node only complains about active shard placements if the
node being removed is a primary.
- master_remove_node only deletes all reference table placements in the
group if the node being removed is the primary.
- Rename {Node->NodeGroup}HasShardPlacements, this reflects the behavior it
already had.
- Rename DeleteAllReferenceTablePlacementsFrom{Node->NodeGroup}. This also
reflects the behavior it already had, but the new signature forces the
caller to pass in a groupId
- Rename {WorkerGetLiveGroup->ActivePrimaryNode}Count
GCC 7 added `-Wimplicit-fallthrough` to warn for not explicitly specified switch/case fall-throughs.
According to https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html, to suppress that warning we could either use `__attribute__(fallthrough)`, which didn't seem to work for earlier GCC versions, or a `/* fallthrough */` comment just before the following `case`.
Previously Citus code had the fall-through comments inside the brackets, which didn't seem to suppress the warning. Putting a `/* fallthrough */` comment outside the brackets and right before the `case` fixes the problem.
This commit adds distributed transaction id infrastructure in
the scope of distributed deadlock detection.
In general, the distributed transaction id consists of a tuple
in the form of: `(databaseId, initiatorNodeIdentifier, transactionId,
timestamp)`.
Briefly, we add a shared memory block on each node, which holds some
information per backend (i.e., an array `BackendData backends[MaxBackends]`).
Later, on each coordinated transaction, Citus sends
`SELECT assign_distributed_transaction_id()` right after `BEGIN`.
For that backend on the worker, the distributed transaction id is set to
the values assigned via the function call.
The aim of the above is to correlate the transactions on the coordinator
to the transactions on the worker nodes.
Comes with a few changes:
- Change the signature of some functions to accept groupid
- InsertShardPlacementRow
- DeleteShardPlacementRow
- UpdateShardPlacementState
- NodeHasActiveShardPlacements returns true if the group the node is a
part of has any active shard placements
- TupleToShardPlacement now returns ShardPlacements which have NULL
nodeName and nodePort.
- Populate (nodeName, nodePort) when creating ShardPlacements
- Disallow removing a node if it contains any shard placements
- DeleteAllReferenceTablePlacementsFromNode matches based on group. This
doesn't change behavior for now (while there is only one node per
group), but means in the future callers should be careful about
calling it on a secondary node, it'll delete placements on the primary.
- Create concept of a GroupShardPlacement, which represents an actual
tuple in pg_dist_placement and is distinct from a ShardPlacement,
which has been resolved to a specific node. In the future
ShardPlacement should be renamed to NodeShardPlacement.
- Create some triggers which allow existing code to continue to insert
into and update pg_dist_shard_placement as if it still existed.
These functions are holdovers from pg_shard and were created for unit
testing c-level functions (like InsertShardPlacementRow) which our
regression tests already test quite effectively. Removing because it
makes refactoring the signatures of those c-level functions
unnecessarily difficult.
- create_healthy_local_shard_placement_row
- update_shard_placement_row_state
- delete_shard_placement_row
Uncrustify 0.65 appears to have changed some defaults, resulting in
breakages for those of us who have already upgraded; Travis still uses
Uncrustify 0.64, but these changes work with both versions (assuming
appropriately updated config), so this should permit use of either
version for the time being.
Before this change, we used ShareLock to acquire lock on distributed tables while
running VACUUM. This makes VACUUM and INSERT block each other. With this change we
changed lock mode from ShareLock to ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, which does not conflict
with the locks INSERT acquire.
MasterIrreducibleExpressionWalker has a copied code from
function check_functions_in_node() which was available with
PG 9.6+. Now PG 9.5 support is dropped we can remove
duplicate code and directly call check_functions_in_node().
Previously we used ForgetResults() in StartRemoteTransactionAbort() -
that's problematic because there might still be an ongoing statement,
and this causes us to wait for its completion. That e.g. happens when
a statement running on the coordinator is cancelled.
That's important because the currently running statement on a worker
might continue to hold locks and consume resources, even after the
connection is closed. Unfortunately postgres will only notice closed
connections when reading from / writing to the network. That might
only happen much later.
Now that there's no blocking libpq callers left, default to using
non-blocking mode in connection_management.c. This has two
advantages:
1) Blockiness doesn't have to frequently be reset, simplifying code
2) Prevents accidental use of blocking libpq functions, since they'll
frequently return 'need IO'
This commit is intended to be a base for supporting declarative partitioning
on distributed tables. Here we add the following utility functions and their
unit tests:
* Very basic functions including differnentiating partitioned tables and
partitions, listing the partitions
* Generating the PARTITION BY (expr) and adding this to the DDL events
of partitioned tables
* Ability to generate text representations of the ranges for partitions
* Ability to generate the `ALTER TABLE parent_table ATTACH PARTITION
partition_table FOR VALUES value_range`
* Ability to apply add shard ids to the above command using
`worker_apply_inter_shard_ddl_command()`
* Ability to generate `ALTER TABLE parent_table DETACH PARTITION`
Adds support for PostgreSQL 10 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
and updating all API usages to conform with changes in PostgreSQL 10.
Most changes are fairly minor but they are numerous. One particular
obstacle was the change in \d behavior in PostgreSQL 10's psql; I had
to add SQL implementations (views, mostly) to mimic the pre-10 output.
Add a second implementation of INSERT INTO distributed_table SELECT ... that is used if
the query cannot be pushed down. The basic idea is to execute the SELECT query separately
and pass the results into the distributed table using a CopyDestReceiver, which is also
used for COPY and create_distributed_table. When planning the SELECT, we go through
planner hooks again, which means the SELECT can also be a distributed query.
EXPLAIN is supported, but EXPLAIN ANALYZE is not because preventing double execution was
a lot more complicated in this case.
