This commit enables to create different worker and master temporary folders.
This change is important for citus-mx on task-tracker execution. In simple words,
on citus-mx, the worker could actually be reponsible for the master tasks as well.
Prior to this change, both master and worker logic on task-tracker executor was
accessing and using the same files for different purposes which was dangerous on
certain cases (i.e., when task_tracker_delay is low).
We remove schema name parameter from worker_fetch_foreign_file and
worker_fetch_regular_table functions. We now send schema name
concatanated with table name.
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.
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.
