Deprecates the `citus.replication_model` GUC
We used to have 2 different GUCs that decided shard replication models:
- `citus.replication_model`: either set to "statement" or "streaming"
- `citus.shard_replication_factor` that prevents us to use streaming
replication when greater than 1.
This PR aims to deprecate the `citus.replication_model` GUC and decide
on the replication model, solely based on the shard replication factor
of distributed tables that are affected by queries.
DESCRIPTION: fix shared dependencies that are not resident in a database
eg. databases depend on users (their owners) that both don’t have a
database they reside in. These dependencies are recorded in pg_shdepend
with a `dbid` of `InvalidOid` When we fetch our shared dependencies we don’t take
these links in account.
With this patch we use logic inspired by `classIdGetDbId` to decide when to use `MyDatabaseId` vs `InvalidOid` to correctly resolve dependencies between shared objects.
Without this change the rebalancer progress monitor gets the shard sizes
from the `shardlength` column in `pg_dist_placement`. This column needs to
be updated manually by calling `citus_update_table_statistics`.
However, `citus_update_table_statistics` could lead to distributed
deadlocks while database traffic is on-going (see #4752).
To work around this we don't use `shardlength` column anymore. Instead
for every rebalance we now fetch all shard sizes on the fly.
Two additional things this does are:
1. It adds tests for the rebalance progress function.
2. If a shard move cannot be done because a source or target node is
unreachable, then we error in stop the rebalance, instead of showing
a warning and continuing. When using the by_disk_size rebalance
strategy it's not safe to continue with other moves if a specific
move failed. It's possible that the failed move made space for the
next move, and because the failed move never happened this space now
does not exist.
3. Adds two new columns to the result of `get_rebalancer_progress` which
shows the size of the shard on the source and target node.
Fixes#4930
DESCRIPTION: Add support for ALTER DATABASE OWNER
This adds support for changing the database owner. It achieves this by marking the database as a distributed object. By marking the database as a distributed object it will look for its dependencies and order the user creation commands (enterprise only) before the alter of the database owner. This is mostly important when adding new nodes.
By having the database marked as a distributed object it can easily understand for which `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` commands to propagate by resolving the object address of the database and verifying it is a distributed object, and hence should propagate changes of owner ship to all workers.
Given the ownership of the database might have implications on subsequent commands in transactions we force sequential mode for transactions that have a `ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...` command in them. This will fail the transaction with meaningful help when the transaction already executed parallel statements.
By default the feature is turned off since roles are not automatically propagated, having it turned on would cause hard to understand errors for the user. It can be turned on by the user via setting the `citus.enable_alter_database_owner`.
Comment from the code:
/*
* Iterate until all the tasks are finished. Once all the tasks
* are finished, ensure that that all the connection initializations
* are also finished. Otherwise, those connections are terminated
* abruptly before they are established (or failed). Instead, we let
* the ConnectionStateMachine() to properly handle them.
*
* Note that we could have the connections that are not established
* as a side effect of slow-start algorithm. At the time the algorithm
* decides to establish new connections, the execution might have tasks
* to finish. But, the execution might finish before the new connections
* are established.
*/
Note that the abruptly terminated connections lead to the following errors:
2020-11-16 21:09:09.800 CET [16633] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
2020-11-16 21:09:09.872 CET [16657] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Undefined error: 0
2020-11-16 21:09:09.894 CET [16667] LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
To easily reproduce the issue:
- Create a single node Citus
- Add the coordinator to the metadata
- Create a distributed table with shards on the coordinator
- f.sql: select count(*) from test;
- pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 or pgbench -f /tmp/f.sql postgres -T 12 -c 40 -P 1 -C
With this commit, the executor becomes smarter about refrain to open
new connections. The very basic example is that, if the connection
establishments take 1000ms and task executions as 5 msecs, the executor
becomes smart enough to not establish new connections.
We often change result types of functions slightly. Our downgrade tests
wouldn't notice these changes. This change adds them to the description
of these items.
An example of an SQL change that isn't caught without this change and is
caught with the get_rebalance_progress change in this PR:
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/4963
It was possible to block maintenance daemon by taking an SHARE ROW
EXCLUSIVE lock on pg_dist_placement. Until the lock is released
maintenance daemon would be blocked.
We should not block the maintenance daemon under any case hence now we
try to get the pg_dist_placement lock without waiting, if we cannot get
it then we don't try to drop the old placements.
DESCRIPTION: introduce `citus.local_hostname` GUC for connections to the current node
Citus once in a while needs to connect to itself for some systems operations. This used to be hardcoded to `localhost`. The hardcoded hostname causes some issues, for example in environments where `sslmode=verify-full` is required. It is not always desirable or even feasible to get `localhost` as an alt name on the certificate.
By introducing a GUC to use when connecting to the current instance the user has more control what network path is used and what hostname is required to be present in the server certificate.
Every move in the rebalancer algorithm results in an improvement in the
balance. However, even if the improvement in the balance was very small
the move was still chosen. This is especially problematic if the shard
itself is very big and the move will take a long time.
This changes the rebalancer algorithm to take the relative size of the
balance improvement into account when choosing moves. By default a move
will not be chosen if it improves the balance by less than half of the
size of the shard. An extra argument is added to the rebalancer
functions so that the user can decide to lower the default threshold if
the ignored move is wanted anyway.
* Make VACUUM hint for upgrade scenario actually work
* Suggest using VACUUM if metapage doesn't exist
Plus, suggest upgrading sql version as another option.
* Always force read metapage block
* Fix two typos
* Columnar: introduce columnar storage API.
This new API is responsible for the low-level storage details of
columnar; translating large reads and writes into individual block
reads and writes that respect the page headers and emit WAL. It's also
responsible for the columnar metapage, resource reservations (stripe
IDs, row numbers, and data), and truncation.
This new API is not used yet, but will be used in subsequent
forthcoming commits.
* Columnar: add columnar_storage_info() for debugging purposes.
* Columnar: expose ColumnarMetadataNewStorageId().
* Columnar: always initialize metapage at creation time.
This avoids the complexity of dealing with tables where the metapage
has not yet been initialized.
* Columnar: columnar storage upgrade/downgrade UDFs.
Necessary upgrade/downgrade step so that new code doesn't see an old
metapage.
* Columnar: improve metadata.c comment.
* Columnar: make ColumnarMetapage internal to the storage API.
Callers should not have or need direct access to the metapage.
* Columnar: perform resource reservation using storage API.
* Columnar: implement truncate using storage API.
* Columnar: implement read/write paths with storage API.
* Columnar: add storage tests.
* Revert "Columnar: don't include stripe reservation locks in lock graph."
This reverts commit c3dcd6b9f8.
No longer needed because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrency for resource reservation.
* Columnar: remove unnecessary lock when reserving.
No longer necessary because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrent resource reservation.
* Add simple upgrade tests for storage/ branch
* fix multi_extension.out
