2 improvements to prevent memory leaks during altering or undistributing
distributed tables with a lot of partitions and shards:
1. Free memory for each call to ConvertTable so that colocated and partition tables at
`AlterDistributedTable`, `UndistributeTable`, or
`AlterTableSetAccessMethod` will not cause an increase
in memory usage,
2. Free memory while executing attach partition commands for each partition table at
`AlterDistributedTable` to prevent an increase in memory usage.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak issue during altering distributed table
with a lot of partition and shards.
Fixes https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6503.
Recently, I changed Python execution structure into virtual. Therefore,
now there is no need change built in python for the images. Since Github
is provisioning images with specific permissions, this issue caused
error.
With this PR, I removed unnecessary installation of pip and setuptools
in container docker image
Additionally, removed some unnecessary sudos and used ap-get instead of
apt in one place
In #6718 I accidentally added Python type hint syntax that was only
supported on Python 3.10. Our CI uses 3.9, so this PR changes that to a
syntax that's supported on 3.9 too.
We have memory leak during distribution of a table with a lot of
partitions as we do not release memory at ExprContext until all
partitions are not distributed. We improved 2 things to resolve the
issue:
1. We create and delete MemoryContext for each call to
`CreateDistributedTable` by partitions,
2. We rebuild the cache after we insert all the placements instead of
each placement for a shard.

When auto_explain module is loaded and configured, EXPLAIN will be
implicitly run for all the supported commands. Postgres does not support
`EXPLAIN` for `ALTER` command. However, auto_explain will try to
`EXPLAIN` other supported commands internally triggered by `ALTER`.
For instance,
`ALTER TABLE target_table ADD CONSTRAINT fkey_167 FOREIGN KEY (col_1)
REFERENCES ref_table(key) ... `
command may trigger a SELECT command in the following form for foreign
key validation purpose:
`SELECT fk.col_1 FROM ONLY target_table fk LEFT OUTER JOIN ONLY
ref_table pk ON ( pk.key OPERATOR(pg_catalog.=) fk.col_1) WHERE pk.key
IS NULL AND (fk.col_1 IS NOT NULL) `
For Citus tables, the Citus utility hook should ensure that constraint
validation is skipped for shell tables but they are done for shard
tables. The reason behind this design choice can be summed up as:
- An ALTER TABLE command via coordinator node is run in a distributed
transaction.
- Citus does not support nested distributed transactions.
- A SELECT query on a distributed table (aka shell table) is also run in
a distributed transaction.
- Therefore, Citus does not support running a SELECT query on a shell
table while an ALTER TABLE command is running.
With
eadc88a800
a bug is introduced breaking the skip constraint validation behaviour of
Citus. With this change, we see that validation queries on distributed
tables are triggered within `ALTER` command adding constraints with
validation check. This regression did not cause an issue for regular use
cases since the citus executor hook blocks those queries heuristically
when there is an ALTER TABLE command in progress.
The issue is surfaced as a crash (#6424 Workers, when configured to use
auto_explain, crash during distributed transactions.) when auto_explain
is enabled. This is due to auto_explain trying to execute the SELECT
queries in a nested distributed transaction.
Now since the regression with constraint validation is fixed in
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/6543, we should be able to
remove the workaround.
We should not omit to free PGResult when we receive single tuple result
from an internal backend.
Single tuple results are normally freed by our ReceiveResults for
`tupleDescriptor != NULL` flow but not for those with `tupleDescriptor
== NULL`. See PR #6722 for details.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes memory leak issue with query results that returns
single row.
O Simple fix is to add ORDER BY to have definitive results.
O Add search_path explicitly after reconnecting, this avoids creating objects in public schema
which prevents us from repetitive running of tests.
O multi_mx_modification is not designed to run repetitive, so isolate it.
A branch that touches a set of upgrade scripts is also expected to touch
corresponding downgrade scripts as well. To ensure that I introduce a
new CI script. If this script fails, read the output and make sure you
update the downgrade scripts in the printed list.
Some of our tests depend on previous tests. Normally all these tests
should be part of a base schedule, but that's not always the case. The
flaky test detection script should ensure that we don't introduce other
dependencies by accident in new tests. But we have many old tests that
are not worth the effort of changing. This adds a way to define such
test dependencies in `run_test.py`, so that it can make sure to run any
dependencies before the actual test.
Our repo was complaining about the cryptography package being
vulnerable. This updates it, including our mitmproxy fork, because that
was pinning an outdated version.

Postgres got minor updates this starts using the images with the latest
version for our tests.
These new Postgres versions caused a compilation issue in PG14 and PG13
due to some function being backported that we had already backported
ourselves. Due this backport being a static inline function it doesn't
matter who provides this and there will be no linkage errors when either
running old Citus packages on new PG versions or the other way around.
We're getting more and more python code in the repo. This adds some
tools to
make sure that styling is consistent and we're not doing easy to miss
mistakes.
- Format python files with black
- Run python files through isort
- Fix issues reported by flake8
- Add .venv to gitignore
The failure_create_distributed_table_non_empty test would sometimes fail
like this:
```diff

SELECT citus.mitmproxy('conn.cancel(' || pg_backend_pid() || ')');
- mitmproxy

Because the cancel command had no filter it would actually sometimes
cancel the mitmproxy cancel command itself. This PR addresses that by
simply removing this test.
This is basically the exact same issue as #6217, only in a different
place in the file. It's fixed here by removing the test since there's
already many different similar tests.
We started getting this error in CI:
```

This fixes that by running the proposed command to command in CI. This
error is
related to a CVE that does not apply to this case, since this is not a

In #6314 I refactored the connection cleanup to be simpler to
understand and use. However, by doing so I introduced a use-after-free
possibility (that valgrind luckily picked up):
In the `ShouldShutdownConnection` path of
`AfterXactHostConnectionHandling`
we free connections without removing the `transactionNode` from the
dlist that it might be part of. Before the refactoring this wasn't a
problem, because the dlist would be completely reset quickly after in
`ResetGlobalVariables` (without reading or writing the dlist entries).
The refactoring changed this by moving the `dlist_delete` call to
`ResetRemoteTransaction`, which in turn was called in the
`!ShouldShutdownConnection` path of `AfterXactHostConnectionHandling`.
Thus this `!ShouldShutdownConnection` path would now delete from the
`dlist`, but the `ShouldShutdownConnection` path would not. Thus to
remove itself the deleting path would sometimes update nodes in the list
that were freed right before.
There's two ways of fixing this:
1. Call `dlist_delete` from **both** of paths.
2. Call `dlist_delete` from **neither** of the paths.
This commit implements the second approach, and #6684 implements the
first. We need to choose which approach we prefer.
To make calling `dlist_delete` from both paths actually work, we also need
to use a slightly different check to determine if we need to call dlist_delete.
Various regression tests showed that there can be cases where the
`transactionState` is something else than `REMOTE_TRANS_NOT_STARTED`
but the connection was not added to the `InProgressTransactions` list
One example of such a case is when running `TransactionStateMachine`
without calling `StartRemoteTransactionBegin` beforehand. In those
cases the connection won't be added to `InProgressTransactions`, but
the `transactionState` is changed to `REMOTE_TRANS_SENT_COMMAND`.
Sidenote: This bug already existed in 11.1, but valgrind didn't catch it
back then. My guess is that this happened because #6314 was merged after
the initial release branch was cut.
Fixes#6638
If there is a problem with an ongoing rebalance, we did not show details
on background tasks that are stuck in runnable state. Similar to how we
show details for errored tasks, we now show details on tasks that are
being retried.
Earlier we showed the following output when a task was stuck:
```
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ { ↵│
│ "tasks": [ ↵│
│ ], ↵│
│ "task_state_counts": {↵│
│ "done": 13, ↵│
│ "blocked": 2, ↵│
│ "runnable": 1 ↵│
│ } ↵│
│ } │
└────────────────────────────┘
```
Now we show details like the following:
```
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| {
| "tasks": [
| {
| "state": "runnable",
| "command": "SELECT pg_catalog.citus_move_shard_placement(1
| "message": "ERROR: Moving shards to a node that shouldn't
| "retried": 2,
| "task_id": 3
| }
| ],
| "task_state_counts": {
| "blocked": 1,
| "runnable": 1
| }
| }
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
```
DESCRIPTION: Fix background rebalance when reference table has no PK
For the background rebalance we would always fail if a reference table
that was not replicated to all nodes would not have a PK (or replica
identity). Even when we used force_logical or block_writes as the shard
transfer mode. This fixes that and adds some regression tests.
Fixes#6680
Pyenv is installed in our container images but I found out that pyenv is
not being activated since it is activated from ~/bashrc script and in
GitHub Actions (GHA) this script is not being executed
Since pyenv is not activated, default python versions comes from docker
images is being used and in this case we get errors for python version
3.11.
Additionally, $HOME directory is /github/home for containers executed
under GHA and our pyenv installation is under /root directory which is
normally home directory for our packaging containers
This PR activates usage of pyenv and additionally uses pyenv virtualenv
feature to execute validate_output function in isolation

We should disallow dropping table_name option if foreign table is in
metadata. Otherwise, we get table not found error which contains
shardid.

This change is a precursor to attempts to add more editorconfig rules in
our codebase. It is a good idea to comply with POSIX standards and have
an empty newline at the end of text files. However, once we have such a
rule, arbitrary configs scripts used to fail before this change.
Related: #5981
Fixes#6570.
In the past, having columnar tables in the cluster was causing pg
upgrades to fail when attempting to access columnar metadata. This is
because, pg_dump doesn't see objects that we use for columnar-am related
booking as the dependencies of the tables using columnar-am.
To fix that; in #5456, we inserted some "normal dependency" edges (from
those objects to columnar-am) into pg_depend.
This helped us ensuring the existency of a class of metadata objects
--such as columnar.storageid_seq-- and helped fixing #5437.
However, the normal-dependency edges that we added for indexes on
columnar metadata tables --such columnar.stripe_pkey-- didn't help at
all because they were indeed causing dependency loops (#5510) and
pg_dump was not able to take those dependency edges into the account.
For this reason, instead of inserting such dependency edges from indexes
to columnar-am, we allow columnar metadata accessors to fall-back to
sequential scan during pg upgrades.
Sometimes isolation_non_blocking_shard_split would fail like this:
```diff
step s2-show-pg_dist_cleanup:
SELECT object_name, object_type, policy_type FROM pg_dist_cleanup;
object_name |object_type|policy_type
------------------------------+-----------+-----------
+citus_shard_split_slot_2_10_39| 3| 0
public.to_split_table_1500001 | 1| 2

The reason is that replication slots have now become part of
pg_dist_cleanup too, and sometimes they cannot be cleaned up right away.
This is harmless as they will be cleaned up eventually. So this simply
filters out the replication slots for those tests.
Recursive planner should handle all the tree from bottom to top at
single pass. i.e. It should have already recursively planned all
required parts in its first pass. Otherwise, this means we have bug at
recursive planner, which needs to be handled. We add a check here and
return error.
DESCRIPTION: Fixes wrong results by throwing error in case recursive
planner multipass the query.
We found 3 different cases which causes recursive planner passes the
query multiple times.
1. Sublink in WHERE clause is planned at second pass after we
recursively planned a distributed table at the first pass. Fixed by PR
#6657.
2. Local-distributed joins are recursively planned at both the first and
the second pass. Issue #6659.
3. Some parts of the query is considered to be noncolocated at the
second pass as we do not generate attribute equivalances between
nondistributed and distributed tables. Issue #6653
DESCRIPTION: Fix foreign key validation skip at the end of shard move
In eadc88a we started completely skipping foreign key constraint
validation at the end of a non blocking shard move, instead of only for
foreign keys to reference tables. However, it turns out that this didn't
work at all because of a hard to notice bug: By resetting the
SkipConstraintValidation flag at the end of our utility hook, we
actually make the SET command that sets it a no-op.
This fixes that bug by removing the code that resets it. This is fine
because #6543 removed the only place where we set the flag in C code. So
the resetting of the flag has no purpose anymore. This PR also adds a
regression test, because it turned out we didn't have any otherwise we
would have caught that the feature was completely broken.
It also moves the constraint validation skipping to the utility hook.
The reason is that #6550 showed us that this is the better place to skip
it, because it will also skip the planning phase and not just the
execution.
