This commit checks the connection status right after any IO happens
on the socket.
This is necessary since before this commit we didn't pass any information
to the higher level functions whether we're done with the connection
(e.g., no IO required anymore) or an errors happened during the IO.
This is the first of series of window function work.
We can now support window functions that can be pushed down to workers.
Window function must have distribution column in the partition clause
to be pushed down.
We push down order by to worker query when limit is specified
(with some other additional checks). If the query has an expression
on an aggregate or avg aggregate by itself, and there is an order
by on this particular target we may send wrong order by to worker
query with potential to affect query result.
The fix creates a auxilary target entry in the worker query and
uses that target entry for sorting.
Before this PR, we were trusting on the columns of group by about
guaranteeing the uniqueness of the results. However, this assumption
is correct only if the columns in the group by is subset of columns
in the distinct clause. It can be wrong if we have part of group by
columns and some aggregation columns in the distinct clause. With
this PR, we add distinct plan on top of aggregate plan when necessary.
With #1804 (and related PRs), Citus gained the ability to
plan subqueries that are not safe to pushdown.
There are two high-level requirements for pushing down subqueries:
* Individual subqueries that require a merge step (i.e., GROUP BY
on non-distribution key, or LIMIT in the subquery etc). We've
handled such subqueries via #1876.
* Combination of subqueries that are not joined on distribution keys.
This commit aims to recursively plan some of such subqueries to make
the whole query safe to pushdown.
The main logic behind non colocated subquery joins is that we pick
an anchor range table entry and check for distribution key equality
of any other subqueries in the given query. If for a given subquery,
we cannot find distribution key equality with the anchor rte, we
recursively plan that subquery.
We also used a hacky solution for picking relations as the anchor range
table entries. The hack is that we wrap them into a subquery. This is only
necessary since some of the attribute equivalance checks are based on
queries rather than range table entries.
We used to only support pushdownable set operations inside a
subquery, however, we could easily expand the restriction
checks to cover top level set operations as well.
We use PostgreSQL hooks to accumulate the join restrictions
and PostgreSQL gives us all the join paths it tries while
deciding on the join order. Thus, for queries that have many
joins, this function is likely to remove lots of duplicate join
restrictions. This becomes relevant for Citus on query pushdown
check peformance.
We were allowing count distict queries even if they were
not directly on columns if the query is grouped on
distribution column.
When performing these checks we were skipping subqueries
because they also perform this check in a more concise manner.
We relied on oid SUBQUERY_RELATION_ID (10000) to decide if
a given RTE relation id denotes a subquery, however, we also
use SUBQUERY_PUSHDOWN_RELATION_ID (10001) for some subqueries.
We skip both type of subqueries with this change.
VLAs aren't supported by Visual Studio.
- Remove all existing instances of VLAs.
- Add a flag, -Werror=vla, which makes gcc refuse to compile if we add
VLAs in the future.
- variable length arrays (VLAs) do not work with Visual Studio
- fix an off-by-one error. We incorrectly assumed there would always at
least as many edges as there were nodes.
- refactor: reduce scope of transactionNodeStack by moving it into the
function which uses it.
- refactor: break up the distinct uses of currentStackDepth into
separate variables.
It's against our coding convention to call functions inside parameter
lists; when single-stepping with a debugger it's difficult to determine
what the function returned.
That wouldn't be good enough reason to change this code but while
porting Citus to Windows I ran into this line of code.
assign_distributed_transaction_id was called with a weird timestamp and
I wasn't able to find the problem without first making this change.
* Don't use expressions inside compound statements
* Don't depend on __builtin_constant_p
* Remove reliance on S_ISLNK
* Replace use of __func__: older mcvs doesn't support this builtin
With this fix, we traverse the graph with DFS which was originally
intended. Note that, before the fix, we traverse the graph with BFS
which might lead to killing some unrelated backend that is not
involved in the distributed deadlock.
By sharing the implementation of the function AppendOptionListToString on
three call sites, we would expand an extra OPTIONS keyword in a create index
statement, and omit other bits of the specific syntax here.
This patch introduces an AppendStorageParametersToString() function that is
very similar to AppendOptionListToString() but handles WITH(a="foo",...)
syntax that is used in reloptions (aka Storage Parameters).
Fixes#1747.
PostgreSQL implements support for several relation kinds in a single
statement, such as in the AlterTableStmt case, which supports both tables
and indexes and more (see ATExecSetRelOptions in PostgreSQL source code file
src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c for an example of that).
As a consequence, this patch implements support for setting and resetting
storage parameters on both relation kinds.
The command is now distributed among the shards when the table is
distributed. To that effect, we fill in the DDLJob's targetRelationId with
the OID of the table for which the index is defined, rather than the OID of
the index itself.
The implementation was already mostly in place, but the code was protected
by a principled check against the operation. Turns out there's a nasty
concurrency bug though with long identifier names, much as in #1664.
To prevent deadlocks from happening, we could either review the DDL
transaction management in shards and placements, or we can simply reject
names with (NAMEDATALEN - 1) chars or more — that's because of the
PostgreSQL array types being created with a one-char prefix: '_'.
We shouldn't return in middle of a PG_TRY() block because if we do, we won't reset PG_exception_stack, and later when a re-throw tries to jump to the jump-point which was active in this PG_TRY() block, it seg-faults.
We used to return in middle of PG_TRY() block in WaitForConnections() where we checked for cancellations. Whenever cancellations were caught here, Citus crashed. And example was reported by @onderkalaci at #1903.
clause is not supported
This change allows unsupported clauses to go through query pushdown
planner instead of erroring out as we already do for non-outer joins.
We used to error out if the join clause includes filters like
t1.a < t2.a even if other filter like t1.key = t2.key exists.
Recently we lifted that restriction in subquery planning by
not lifting that restriction and focusing on equivalance classes
provided by postgres.
This checkin forwards previously erroring out real-time queries
due to join clauses to subquery planner and let it handle the
join even if the query does not have a subquery.
We are now pushing down queries that do not have any
subqueries in it. Error message looked misleading, changed to a more descriptive one.
We were creating intermediate query result's target
names from subquery target list. Now we also check
if cte re-defines its column name aliases, and create
intermediate result query accordingly.
The macro we were using to detect strtoull isn't set on Windows, and
just in case there are differences use a portable function from PG
instead of calling strtoull directly.
This commit introduces a new GUC to limit the intermediate
result size which we handle when we use read_intermediate_result
function for CTEs and complex subqueries.
With this commit, Citus recursively plans subqueries that
are not safe to pushdown, in other words, requires a merge
step.
The algorithm is simple: Recursively traverse the query from bottom
up (i.e., bottom meaning the leaf queries). On each level, check
whether the query is safe to pushdown (or a single repartition
subquery). If the answer is yes, do not touch that subquery. If the
answer is no, plan the subquery seperately (i.e., create a subPlan
for it) and replace the subquery with a call to
`read_intermediate_results(planId, subPlanId)`. During the the
execution, run the subPlans first, and make them avaliable to the
next query executions.
Some of the queries hat this change allows us:
* Subqueries with LIMIT
* Subqueries with GROUP BY/DISTINCT on non-partition keys
* Subqueries involving re-partition joins, router queries
* Mixed usage of subqueries and CTEs (i.e., use CTEs in
subqueries as well). Nested subqueries as long as we
support the subquery inside the nested subquery.
* Subqueries with local tables (i.e., those subqueries
has the limitation that they have to be leaf subqueries)
* VIEWs on the distributed tables just works (i.e., the
limitations mentioned below still applies to views)
Some of the queries that is still NOT supported:
* Corrolated subqueries that are not safe to pushdown
* Window function on non-partition keys
* Recursively planned subqueries or CTEs on the outer
side of an outer join
* Only recursively planned subqueries and CTEs in the FROM
(i.e., not any distributed tables in the FROM) and subqueries
in WHERE clause
* Subquery joins that are not on the partition columns (i.e., each
subquery is individually joined on partition keys but not the upper
level subquery.)
* Any limitation that logical planner applies such as aggregate
distincts (except for count) when GROUP BY is on non-partition key,
or array_agg with ORDER BY
Postgres provides OS agnosting formatting macros for
formatting 64 bit numbers. Replaced %ld %lu with
INT64_FORMAT and UINT64_FORMAT respectively.
Also found some incorrect usages of formatting
flags and fixed them.
We added the ability to filter out the planner restriction information
for specific parts of the query. This might lead to situations where
the common restriction includes some other relations that we're searching
for. The reason is that while filtering for join restrictions, we add the
restriction as soon as we find the relation.
With this commit we make sure that the common attribute
equivalance class always includes the input relations.
In subquery pushdown, we first ensure that each relation is joined with at least
on another relation on the partition keys. That's fine given that the decision
is binary: pushdown the query at all or not.
With recursive planning, we'd want to check whether any specific part
of the query can be pushded down or not. Thus, we need the ability to
understand which part(s) of the subquery is safe to pushdown. This commit
adds the infrastructure for doing that.
Note that we used to iterate over the RTEs once for performance reasons.
However, keeping an extra copy of original query seems more costly and
hard to maintain/explain.
Subquery pushdown planning is based on relation restriction
equivalnce. This brings us the opportuneatly to allow any
other joins as long as there is an already equi join between
the distributed tables.
We already allow that for joins with reference tables and
this commit allows that for joins among distributed tables.
With this commit, we allow pushing down subqueries with only
reference tables where GROUP BY or DISTINCT clause or Window
functions include only columns from reference tables.
Store pointers to shared hashes in process-local variables. Previously
pointers to shared hashes were put into shared memory. This causes
problems on EXEC_BACKEND because everybody calls execve and receives a
brand new address space; the shared hash will be in a different place
for every backend. (normally we call fork, which gives you a copy of the
address space, so these pointers remain constant)
Autovacuum process cancels itself if any modification starts
on the table in order to avoid blocking your regular Postgres
sessions. That's normal and expected. Thus, any locks held by
autovacuum process cannot involve in a distributed deadlock
since it'll be released if needed.
These locks are held for a very short duration time and cannot
contribute to a deadlock. Speculative locks are used by Postgres
for internal notification mechanism among transactions.
While attaching a partition to a distributed table in schema, we mistakenly
used unqualified name to find partitioned table's oid. This caused problems
while using partitioned tables with schemas. We are fixing this issue in
this PR.
Short-term share/exclusive page-level locks are used for
read/write access. Locks are released immediately after
each index row is fetched or inserted.
Since those locks may not lead to any deadlocks, it's safe
to ignore them in the distributed deadlock detection.
In DistributedTablesSize() we didn't close the relations that had
replication factor > 2. This caused relcache reference leaks, and
warning messages like following in logs:
WARNING: relcache reference leak: relation "researchers" not closed
It's possible to build INSERT SELECT queries which include implicit
casts, currently we attempt to support these by adding explicit casts to
the SELECT query, but this sometimes crashes because we don't update all
nodes with the new types. (SortClauses, for instance)
This commit removes those explicit casts and passes an unmodified SELECT
query to the COPY executor (how we implement INSERT SELECT under the
scenes). In lieu of those cases, COPY has been given some extra logic to
inspect queries, notice that the types don't line up with the table it's
supposed to be inserting into, and "manually" casting every tuple before
sending them to workers.
ShardPlacementList's implementation can return NIL. In previous implementation
we got a segmentation fault in this case. The relation can be dropped after
getting distributed table list but before calling SingleReplicatedTable().
If we don't propagate the errors we are catching in PG_CATCH(), database's
internal state might not be clean. So we do PG_TRY() inside a subtransaction
so we can rollback to it after catching errors.
