With this change we schema-prefix table names, operator names and composite types.
This change fixes the unused variable problem in
`ExecuteDistributedDDLCommand` function (multi_utility.c). The
parameter is meant to be used in PreventTransactionChain call.
Fixes#513
This change modifies the DDL Propagation logic so that DDL queries
are propagated via 2-Phase Commit protocol. This way, failures during
the execution of distributed DDL commands will not leave the table in
an intermediate state and the pending prepared transactions can be
commited manually.
DDL commands are not allowed inside other transaction blocks or functions.
DDL commands are performed with 2PC regardless of the value of
`citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol` parameter.
The workflow of the successful case is this:
1. Open individual connections to all shard placements and send `BEGIN`
2. Send `SELECT worker_apply_shard_ddl_command(<shardId>, <DDL Command>)`
to all connections, one by one, in a serial manner.
3. Send `PREPARE TRANSCATION <transaction_id>` to all connections.
4. Sedn `COMMIT` to all connections.
Failure cases:
- If a worker problem occurs before sending of all DDL commands is finished, then
all changes are rolled back.
- If a worker problem occurs after all DDL commands are sent but not after
`PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are finished, then all changes are rolled back.
However, if a worker node is failed, then the prepared transactions in that worker
should be rolled back manually.
- If a worker problem occurs during `COMMIT PREPARED` statements are being sent,
then the prepared transactions on the failed workers should be commited manually.
- If master fails before the first 'PREPARE TRANSACTION' is sent, then nothing is
changed on workers.
- If master fails during `PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are being sent, then the
prepared transactions on workers should be rolled back manually.
- If master fails during `COMMIT PREPARED` or `ROLLBACK PREPARED` commands are being
sent, then the remaining prepared transactions on the workers should be handled manually.
This change also helps with #480, since failed DDL changes no longer mark
failed placements as inactive.
Fixes#394
This change adds LIMIT/OFFSET support for non router-plannable
distributed queries.
In cases that we can push the LIMIT down, we add the OFFSET value to
that LIMIT in the worker queries. When a query with LIMIT x OFFSET y is issued,
the query is propagated to the workers as LIMIT (x+y) OFFSET 0, and on the
master table, the original LIMIT and OFFSET values are used. With this change,
we can use OFFSET wherever we can use LIMIT.
- Enables using VOLATILE functions (like nextval()) in INSERT queries
- Enables using STABLE functions (like now()) targetLists and joinTrees
UPDATE and INSERT can now contain non-immutable functions. INSERT can contain any kind of
expression, while UPDATE can contain any STABLE function, so long as a Var is not passed
into the STABLE function, even indirectly. UPDATE TagetEntry's can now also include Vars.
There's an exception, CASE/COALESCE statements may not contain mutable functions.
Functions calls in master_modify_multiple_shards are also evaluated.
Fixes#463
OID of user-defined types may be different in master and worker nodes. This causes errors
while sending data between nodes with binary nodes. Because binary copy format adds OID
of the element if it is in an array. The code adding OID is in PostgreSQL code, therefore
we cannot change it. Instead we decided to use text format if we try to send array of
user-defined type.
It turns out some tests exercised this behavior, but removing it should
have no ill effects. Besides, both copy and INSERT disallow NULLs in a
table's partition column.
Fixes a bug where anti-joins on hash-partitioned distributed tables
would incorrectly prune shards early, result in incorrect results (test
included).
The upcoming RETURNING support would otherwise require too much
duplication. This contains most of the pieces required for RETURNING
support, except removing the planner checks and adjusting regression
test output.
The old targetlist wasn't used so far, but the upcoming RETURNING
support relies on it.
This also allows to get rid of some crufty code in
multi_executor.c:multi_ExecutorStart(), which used the worker query's
targetlist instead of the main statement's (which didn't have one up to
now).
The targetlist contains TargetEntrys containing expressions, not
expressions directly. That didn't matter so far, but with the upcoming
RETURNING support, the targetlist is inspected to build a TupleDesc.
ExecCleanTypeFromTL hits an assert when looking at something that's not
a TargetEntry.
Mark the entry as resjunk, so it's not actually used.
The only way we re-raise an error is if the raiseError flag is true, so
might as well purge connection in that block rather than independently
checking errorLevel.
Fixes#78
With this change, it is possible to append a table in any schema to shard. The function
master_append_table_to_shard now supports schema names.
For CITUS_RTE_RELATION type fragments, reloading shardIntervals from the
database is rather expensive. So store a pointer to the full shard
interval, instead of just the shard id. There's no new memory lifetime
hazards here, because we already passed a pointer to the shardInterval's
->shardId field around.
The plan time for the query in issue #607 goes from 2889 ms to 106 ms.
with this change.
By far the most expensive part of ShardIntervalsOverlap() is computing
the function to use to determine overlap. Luckily we already have that
computed and cached.
The plan time for the query in issue #607 goes from 8764 ms to 2889 ms
with this change.
Fixes#550, fixes#545
If table name contains special characters, it needs to be escaped. However in some cases,
we escape table name before appending shardId, which causes syntax error in the queries
sent to worker nodes. With this change we now append shardId before escaping table names.
now copies all column references in count distinct aggreagete
to worker target list and group by. Master target list is
also updated to reflect changes in attribute order.
Fixes 569
Fixes#496
Previously we do not check whether table is foreign or not while creating empty
shards, and set storage type to 't'(Standard table) or 'c'(Columnar table). Now
if the table is foreign table(but not CStore foreign table) we set storage
type to 'f'(Foreign table). If it is CStore foreign table, we set its storage
type to 'c', i.e. columnar table have priority over foreign table.
Please note that 'c' is only used for CStore tables not for other possible
columnar stores at the moment. Possible improvement could be checking for other
columnar stores, though I am not sure if there is a way to check it for all
other columnar stores.
There's not a ton of documentation about what CONTEXT lines should look
like, but this seems like the most dominant pattern. Similarly, users
should expect lowercase, non-period strings.
Fixes#475
With this change we prevent addition of ONLY clause to queries prepared for
worker nodes. When we add ONLY clause we may miss the inherited tables in
worker nodes created by users manually.
When executing queries with citus.task_executor = 'real-time', query
execution could, so far, spend a significant amount of time
sleeping. That's because we were
a) sleeping after several phases of query execution, even if we're not
waiting for network IO
b) sleeping for a fixed amount of time when waiting for network IO;
often a lot longer than actually required.
Just reducing the amount of time slept isn't a real solution, because
that just increases CPU usage.
Instead have the real-time executor's ManageTaskExecution return whether
a task is currently being processed, waiting for reads or writes, or
failed. When all tasks are waiting for IO use poll() to wait for IO
readyness.
That requires to slightly redefine how connection timeouts are handled:
before we counted the number of times ManageTaskExecution() was called,
and compared that with the timeout divided by the task check
interval. That, if processing of tasks took a while, could significantly
increase the time till a timeout occurred. Because it was based on the
ManageTaskExecution() being called on a constant interval, this approach
isn't feasible anymore. Instead measure the actual time since
connection establishment was started. That could in theory, if task
processing takes a very long time, lead to few passes over
PQconnectPoll().
The problem of sleeping too much also exists for the 'task-tracker'
executor, but is generally less problematic there, as processing the
individual tasks usually will take longer. That said, for e.g. the
regression tests it'd be helpful to use a similar approach.
Single table repartition subqueries now support count(distinct column)
and count(distinct (case when ...)) expressions. Repartition query
extracts column used in aggregate expression and adds them to target
list and group by list, master query stays the same (count (distinct ...))
but attribute numbers inside the aggregate expression is modified to
reflect changes in repartition query.
Now, master_create_empty_shard() will create shards according to the
value of citus.shard_placement_policy which also makes default round-robin
instead of random.
Fixes#10
This change creates a new UDF: master_modify_multiple_shards
Parameters:
modify_query: A simple DELETE or UPDATE query as a string.
The UDF is similar to the existing master_apply_delete_command UDF.
Basically, given the modify query, it prunes the shard list, re-constructs
the query for each shard and sends the query to the placements.
Depending on the value of citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol, the commit
can be done in one-phase or two-phase manner.
Limitations:
* It cannot be called inside a transaction block
* It only be called with simple operator expressions (like Single Shard Modify)
Sample Usage:
```
SELECT master_modify_multiple_shards(
'DELETE FROM customer_delete_protocol WHERE c_custkey > 500 AND c_custkey < 500');
```
Make's $(wildcard) does not sort the glob result, but returns filenames
in filesystem ordering. This makes the build result vary and hence
unreproducible on the binary level. Fix by adding $(sort).
Spotted by Debian's reproducible builds project.
Now, we can copy to an append-partitioned distributed relation from
any worker node by providing master options such as;
COPY relation_name FROM file_path WITH (delimiter '|', master_host 'localhost', master_port 5432);
where master_port is optional and default is 5432.
Based on Andres' suggestion, I removed SetConnectionStatus, moving its
functionality directly into set_connection_status_bad, which now simply
shuts down the socket underlying a particular connection.
This keeps the functionality as-is while removing our questionable use
of internal libpq headers.
Fixes#477
This change fixes the compile time warning message in BuildMapMergeJob in
multi_physical_planner.c about mixed declarations and code. Basically, the
problematic declaration is moved up so that no expression is before it.
Allow references to columns in UPDATE statements
Queries like "UPDATE tbl SET column = column + 1" are now allowed, so long as you don't use any IMMUTABLE functions.
This change renames the distributed transaction manager parameter from
citus.copy_transaction_manager to citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol.
Distributed transaction manager has been used only by the COPY on hash
partitioned tables but it can be used by upcoming features so, we needed
to rename so that its name do not contain a reference to COPY.
The change also includes renames like transaction_manager_options to
commit_protocol_options and TRANSACTION_MANAGER_1PC to COMMIT_PROTOCOL_1PC.
With this change, declaration of MultiShardCommitProtocol (was
CopyTransactionManager) is moved from multi_copy.c to multi_transaction.c.
Currently that's just COPY FROM. There's other places where we could
check for permissions earlier (to fail less verbosely), but since
there's other pending changes in the whole DDL area, which is affected
by this, I'm just adding a note to those places.
That's important because ownership of relations implies special
privileges. Without this change, a distributed table can be accessible
by a table's owner, but a shard created by another user might not.
Some small parts of citus currently require superuser privileges; which
is obviously not desirable for production scenarios. Run these small
parts under superuser privileges (we use the extension owner) to avoid
that.
This does not yet coordinate grants between master and workers. Thus it
allows to create shards, load data, and run queries as a non-superuser,
but it is not easily possible to allow differentiated accesses to
several users.
\stage so far directly inserted into pg_dist_shard and
pg_dist_shard_placement. That makes it hard to do effective permission
checks. Thus move the inserts into two C functions.
These two new functions aren't the nicest abstraction. But as we are
planning to obsolete \stage, it doesn't seem worthwhile to refactor the
client-side code of \stage to allow the use of
master_create_empty_shard() et al.
Previously several commands, amongst them commands like
master_create_distributed_table(), were allowed for everyone. That's not
good: Even though citus currently requires superuser permissions, we
shouldn't allow non-superusers to perform actions as sensitive as making
a table distributed.
There's no checks on the worker_* functions, as these usually just punt
the action to underlying postgres functionality, which then perform the
necessary checks.
Citus' extension version now has a -$schemaversion appendix. When the
schema is changed, a new schema version has to be added; changes to the
same schema version several commits inside a single pull request are ok.
Schema migration scripts between each schema version have to be
added. To ensure upgrade scripts work correctly a new regression test
ensures that all steps work.
The extension scripts to-be-used for CREATE EXTENSION (i.e. not
extension updates) are generated by concatenating citus.sql and the
relevant migration scripts.
So far we've always used libpq defaults when connecting to workers; bar
special environment variables being set that'll always be the user that
started the server. That's not desirable because it prevents using
users with fewer privileges.
Thus change the various APIs creating connections to workers to always
use usernames. That means:
1) MultiClientConnect() needs to, optionally, accept a username
2) GetOrEstablishConnection(), including the underlying cache, need to
use the current user as part of the connection cache key. That way
connections for separate users are distinct, and we always use one
with the correct authorization.
3) The task tracker needs to keep track of the username associated with
a task, so it can use it when establishing connections outside the
originating session.
This commit adds a fast shard pruning path for INSERTs on
hash-partitioned tables. The rationale behind this change is
that if there exists a sorted shard interval array, a single
index lookup on the array allows us to find the corresponding
shard interval. As mentioned above, we need a sorted
(wrt shardminvalue) shard interval array. Thus, this commit
updates shardIntervalArray to sortedShardIntervalArray in the
metadata cache. Then uses the low-level API that is defined in
multi_copy to handle the fast shard pruning.
The performance impact of this change is more apparent as more
shards exist for a distributed table. Previous implementation
was relying on linear search through the shard intervals. However,
this commit relies on constant lookup time on shard interval
array. Thus, the shard pruning becomes less dependent on the
shard count.
When we notice that pg_dist_partition is being invalidated we assume
that the citus extension is being dropped and drop state such as
extensionLoaded and the cached oids of all the metadata tables.
This frees the user from needing to reconnect after running DROP
EXTENSION, so we also no longer send a warning message.
- non-router plannable queries can be executed
by router executor if they satisfy the criteria
- router executor is removed from configuration,
now task executor can not be set to router
- removed some tests that error out for router executor
With #426, some new warning messages started to arise, because of
cross assignment of Node and Expr pointers. This change fixes the
warnings with type casts.
Fixes#379
Varchar VAR struct is wrapped in RELABELTYPE struct inside PostgreSQL code and
IsPartitionColumnRecursive function considers only VAR types so returning false
for varchar.
This change adds strip_implicit_coercions() call to the columnExpression in
IsPartitionColumnRecursive function so that we get rid of implicit coercions like
RELABELTYPE are stripped to VAR.
This change fixes the problem with joins with VARCHAR columns. Prior to
this change, when we tried to do large table joins on varchar columns, we got
an error of the form:
ERROR: cannot perform local joins that involve expressions
DETAIL: local joins can be performed between columns only.
This is because we have a check in CheckJoinBetweenColumns() which requires the
join clause to have only 'Var' nodes (i.e. columns). Postgres adds a relabel t
ype cast to cast the varchar to text; hence the type of the node is not T_Var
and the join fails.
The fix involves calling strip_implicit_coercions() to the left and right
arguments so that RELABELTYPE is stripped to VAR.
Fixes#76.
Fixes#375
Prior to this change, shard pruning couldn't be done if:
- Table is hash-distributed
- Partition column of is VARCHAR
- Query to be pruned is a subquery
There were two problems:
- A bug in left-side/right-side checks for the partition column
- We were not considering relabeled types (VARCHAR was relabeled as TEXT)
While reading this code last week, it appeared as though there was no
place we ensured that the partition clause actually used equality ops.
As such, I was worried that we might transform a clause such as id < 5
into a constraint like hash(id) = hash(5) when doing shard pruning. The
relevant code seemed to just ensure:
1. The node is an OpExpr
2. With a related hash function
3. It compares the partition column
4. Against a constant
A superficial reading implied we didn't actually make sure the original
op was equality-related, but it turns out the hash lookup function DOES
ensure that for us. So I added a comment.
Previously (if you're creating the index with the same name on different
tables) we successfully ran the command on the workers before failing it
on the master and leaving no record of the index.
Now we check whether the index exists on the master before sending
commands to the workers.
--
Also make the error better when user attampts to create an index without
a name. Previously those statements returned:
brian=# create index on c (b);
WARNING: could not receive query results from localhost:9700
DETAIL: Client error: cannot extend name for null index name
ERROR: could not execute DDL command on worker node shards
They now return
brian=# create index on c (b);
ERROR: creating index without a name on a distributed table is
currently unsupported
Fixes#363
This change modifies the error message given when Citus is attempted
to be loaded other than shared_preload_libraries. Explanations have been
extended with that shared_preload_parameters parameter is in
postgresql.conf and citus should be at the beginning.
