DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug in background shard rebalancer where the
replicate reference tables task fails if the current user is not a
superuser.
This change is to be backported to earlier releases. We should fix the
permissions for replicate_reference_tables on main branch such that it
can be run by non-superuser roles.
Fixes#6925.
Fixes#6926.
I observed a flaky test output
[here](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/citusdata/citus/32692/workflows/32464a22-7fd6-440a-9ff7-cfa62f9ff58a/jobs/1126144)
and added `ORDER BY` clauses to similar queries in the failing test
file.

Previously INSERT .. SELECT planner were pushing down some queries that should not be pushed down due to wrong colocation checks. It was checking whether one of the table in SELECT part and target table are colocated. But now, we check colocation for all tables in SELECT part and the target table.
Another problem with INSERT .. SELECT planner was that some queries, which is valid to be pushed down, were not pushed down due to unnecessary checks which are currently supported. e.g. UNION check. As solution, we reused the pushdown planner checks for INSERT .. SELECT planner.

INSERT .. SELECT queries that we shouldn't

for some INSERT .. SELECT queries

We mark objects as distributed objects in Citus metadata only if we need
to propagate given the command that creates it to worker nodes. For this
reason, we were not doing this for the objects that are created while
pg_dist_node is empty.
One implication of doing so is that we defer the schema propagation to
the time when user creates the first distributed table in the schema.
However, this doesn't help for schema-based sharding (#6866) because we
want to sync pg_dist_tenant_schema to the worker nodes even for empty
schemas too.
* Support test dependencies for isolation tests without a schedule
* Comment out a test due to a known issue (#6901)
* Also, reduce the verbosity for some log messages and make some
tests compatible with run_test.py.
Fixes#6779.
DESCRIPTION: Disables citus.enable_non_colocated_router_query_pushdown
GUC by default to ensure generating a consistent distributed plan for
the queries that reference non-colocated distributed tables
We already have tests for the cases where this GUC is disabled,
so I'm not adding any more tests in this PR.
Also make multi_insert_select_window idempotent.
Related to: #6793
DESCRIPTION: Forward to existing emit_log_hook in our log hook
This makes us work better with other extensions installed in Postgres.
Without this change we would overwrite their emit_log_hook, causing it
to never be called.
Fixes#6874
When we bump columnar version, some tests fail because of the output
change. Instead of changing those lines every time, I think it is better
to normalize it in tests.
A test in background_rebalance_parallel.sql was failing intermittently
where the order of tasks in the output was not deterministic. This
commit fixes the test by removing id columns for the background tasks in
the output.
A sample failing diff before this patch is below:
```diff
SELECT D.task_id,
(SELECT T.command FROM pg_dist_background_task T WHERE T.task_id = D.task_id),
D.depends_on,
(SELECT T.command FROM pg_dist_background_task T WHERE T.task_id = D.depends_on)
FROM pg_dist_background_task_depend D WHERE job_id in (:job_id) ORDER BY D.task_id, D.depends_on ASC;

they have different task ids.
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for creating distributed tables without shard
key
Commits proposed in this PR have already been reviewed in other PRs
noted
for each commit.
With this PR, we allow creating distributed tables without
specifying a shard key via create_distributed_table(). Here are the
the important details about those tables:
* Specifying `shard_count` is not allowed because it is assumed to be 1.
* We mostly call such tables as "single-shard" distributed table in code
/ comments.
* `colocate_with` param allows colocating such single-shard tables to
each other.
* We define this table type, i.e., SINGLE_SHARD_DISTRIBUTED, as a
subclass
of DISTRIBUTED_TABLE because we mostly want to treat them as distributed
tables in terms of SQL / DDL / operation support.
* Metadata for such tables look like:
- distribution method => DISTRIBUTE_BY_NONE
- replication model => REPLICATION_MODEL_STREAMING
- colocation id => **!=** INVALID_COLOCATION_ID (distinguishes from
Citus local tables)
* We assign colocation groups for such tables to different nodes in a
round-robin fashion based on the modulo of "colocation id".
There are also still more work that needs to be done, such as improving
SQL
support, making sure that Citus operations work well such distributed
tables
and making sure that latest features merged in at 11.3 / 12.0 (such as
CDC)
works fine. We will take care of them in subsequent PRs.
In this release, we will build schema-based-sharding on top of this
infrastructure. And it's likely that we will use this infra for some
other nice features in future too.
* Add support for dist insert select by selecting from a reference
table.
This was the only pushable insert .. select case that
#6773 didn't cover.
* For the cases where we insert into a Citus table but the INSERT ..
SELECT
query cannot be pushed down, allow pull-to-coordinator when possible.
Remove the checks that we had at the very beginning of
CreateInsertSelectPlanInternal so that we can try insert .. select via
pull-to-coordinator for the cases where we cannot push-down the insert
.. select query. What we support via pull-to-coordinator is still
limited due to lacking of logical planner support for SELECT queries,
but this commit at least allows using pull-to-coordinator for the cases
where the select query can be planned via router planner, without
limiting ourselves to restrictive top-level checks.
Also introduce some additional restrictions into
CreateDistributedInsertSelectPlan for the cases it was missing to check
for null-shard-key tables. Indeed, it would make more sense to have
those checks for distributed tables in general, via separate PRs against
main branch. See https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6817.
* Add support for inserting into a Postgres table.
Enable router planner and a limited version of INSERT .. SELECT planner
for the queries that reference colocated null shard key tables.
* SELECT / UPDATE / DELETE / MERGE is supported as long as it's a router
query.
* INSERT .. SELECT is supported as long as it only references colocated
null shard key tables.
Note that this is not only limited to distributed INSERT .. SELECT but
also
covers a limited set of query types that require pull-to-coordinator,
e.g.,
due to LIMIT clause, generate_series() etc. ...
(Ideally distributed INSERT .. SELECT could handle such queries too,
e.g.,
when we're only referencing tables that don't have a shard key, but
today
this is not the case. See
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6773#discussion_r1140130562.
Add tests for ddl coverage:
* indexes
* partitioned tables + indexes with long names
* triggers
* foreign keys
* statistics
* grant & revoke statements
* truncate & vacuum
* create/test/drop view that depends on a dist table with no shard key
* policy & rls test
* alter table add/drop/alter_type column (using sequences/different data
types/identity columns)
* alter table add constraint (not null, check, exclusion constraint)
* alter table add column with a default value / set default / drop
default
* alter table set option (autovacuum)
* indexes / constraints without names
* multiple subcommands
Adds support for
* Creating new partitions after distributing (with null key) the parent
table
* Attaching partitions to a distributed table with null distribution key
(and automatically distribute the new partition with null key as well)
* Detaching partitions from it
With this PR, we allow creating distributed tables with without
specifying a shard key via create_distributed_table(). Here are the
the important details about those tables:
* Specifying `shard_count` is not allowed because it is assumed to be 1.
* We mostly call such tables as "null shard-key" table in code /
comments.
* To avoid doing a breaking layout change in create_distributed_table();
instead of throwing an error, it will inform the user that
`distribution_type`
param is ignored unless it's explicitly set to NULL or 'h'.
* `colocate_with` param allows colocating such null shard-key tables to
each other.
* We define this table type, i.e., NULL_SHARD_KEY_TABLE, as a subclass
of
DISTRIBUTED_TABLE because we mostly want to treat them as distributed
tables in terms of SQL / DDL / operation support.
* Metadata for such tables look like:
- distribution method => DISTRIBUTE_BY_NONE
- replication model => REPLICATION_MODEL_STREAMING
- colocation id => **!=** INVALID_COLOCATION_ID (distinguishes from
Citus local tables)
* We assign colocation groups for such tables to different nodes in a
round-robin fashion based on the modulo of "colocation id".
Note that this PR doesn't care about DDL (except CREATE TABLE) / SQL /
operation (i.e., Citus UDFs) support for such tables but adds a
preliminary
API.
When working on changelog, Marco suggested in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6856#pullrequestreview-1386601215
that we should bump columnar version to 11.3 as well.
This PR aims to contain all the necessary changes to allow upgrades to
and downgrades from 11.3.0 for columnar. Note that updating citus
extension version does not affect columnar as the two extension versions
are not really coupled.
The same changes will also be applied to the release branch in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6897
In this release, I tried something different. I experimented with adding
the PR number and title to the changelog right before each changelog
entry. This way, it is easier to track where a particular changelog
entry comes from. After reviews are over, I plan to remove those lines
with PR numbers and titles.
I went through all the PRs that are merged after 11.2.0 release and came
up with a list of PRs that may need help with changelog entries. You can
see details on PRs grouped in several sections below.

We are handling colocation groups with shard group count less than the
worker node count, using a method different than the usual rebalancer.
See #6739
While making the decision of using this method or not, we should've
ignored the nodes that are marked `shouldhaveshards = false`. This PR
excludes those nodes when making the decision.
Adds a test such that:
coordinator: []
worker 1: [1_1, 1_2]
worker 2: [2_1, 2_2]
(rebalance)
coordinator: []
worker 1: [1_1, 2_1]
worker 2: [1_2, 2_2]
If we take the coordinator into account, the rebalancer considers the
first state as balanced and does nothing (because shard_count <
worker_count)
But with this pr, we ignore the coordinator because it's
shouldhaveshards = false
So the rebalancer distributes each colocation group to both workers
Also, fixes an unrelated flaky test in the same file
