- Flexed the check which prevented append operation cstore tables
since its storage type is not SHARD_STORAGE_TABLE.
- Used process utility function to perform copy operation in
worker_append_table_to shard() instead of directly calling
postgresql DoCopy().
- Removed the additional check in master_create_empty_shard() function.
This check was redundant and erroneous since it was called after
CheckDistributedTable() call.
- Modified WorkerTableSize() function to retrieve cstore table shard
size correctly.
After this change, shards and associated metadata are automatically
dropped when running DROP TABLE on a distributed table, which fixes#230.
It also adds schema support for master_apply_delete_command, which
fixes#73.
Dropping the shards happens in the master_drop_all_shards UDF, which is
called from the SQL_DROP trigger. Inside the trigger, the table is no
longer visible and calling master_apply_delete_command directly wouldn't
work and oid <-> name mappings are not available. The
master_drop_all_shards function therefore takes the relation id, schema
name, and table name as parameters, which can be obtained from
pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects() in the SQL_DROP trigger. If the user
calls master_drop_all_shards while the table still exists, the schema
name and table name are ignored.
