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.
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.
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.
There was a bug related to regex. We sometimes caught the wrong line
when the test name is also included in comments.
Example: We caught the wrong line as multi_metadata_sync is included in
the comment before the test line.
```
# ----------
# multi_metadata_sync tests the propagation of mx-related metadata changes to metadata workers
# multi_unsupported_worker_operations tests that unsupported operations error out on metadata workers
# ----------
test: multi_metadata_sync
```
Solution: Restrict regex rule better.
In #6814 we started using the Python test runner for upgrade tests in
run_test.py, instead of the Perl based one. This had a problem though,
not all tests in minimal_schedule can be run with the Python runner.
This adds a separate minimal schedule for the pg_upgrade tests which
doesn't include the tests that break with the Python runner.
This PR also fixes various other issues that came up while testing
the upgrade tests.
DESCRIPTION: Changes the regression test setups adding the coordinator
to metadata by default.
When creating a Citus cluster, coordinator can be added in metadata
explicitly by running `citus_set_coordinator_host ` function. Adding the
coordinator to metadata allows to create citus managed local tables.
Other Citus functionality is expected to be unaffected.
This change adds the coordinator to metadata by default when creating
test clusters in regression tests.
There are 3 ways to run commands in a sql file (or a schedule which is a
sequence of sql files) with Citus regression tests. Below is how this PR
adds the coordinator to metadata for each.
1. `make <schedule_name>`
Changed the sql files (sql/multi_cluster_management.sql and
sql/minimal_cluster_management.sql) which sets up the test clusters such
that they call `citus_set_coordinator_host`. This ensures any following
tests will have the coordinator in metadata by default.
2. `citus_tests/run_test.py <sql_file_name>`
Changed the python code that sets up the cluster to always call `
citus_set_coordinator_host`.
For the upgrade tests, a version check is included to make sure
`citus_set_coordinator_host` function is available for a given version.
3. ` make check-arbitrary-configs `
Changed the python code that sets up the cluster to always call
`citus_set_coordinator_host `.
#6864 will be used to track the remaining work which is to change the
tests where coordinator is added/removed as a node.
Over the last few months run_test.py got more and more complex. This
refactors the code in `run_test.py` to be better understandable. Mostly
this splits up separate pieces of logic into separate functions.
For some tests such as upgrade tests and arbitrary config tests we set
up the citus cluster using Python. This setup is slightly different from
the perl based setup script (`multi_regress.pl`). Most importantly it
uses replication factor 1 by default.
This changes our run_test.py script to be able to run a schedule using
python instead of `multi_regress.pl`, for the tests that require it.
For now arbitrary config tests are still not runnable with
`run_test.py`, but this brings us one step closer to being able to do
that.
Fixes#6804
Having as little Perl as possible in our repo seems a worthy goal. Sadly
Postgres its Perl based TAP infrastructure was the only way in which we
could
run tests that were hard to do using only SQL commands. This change adds
infrastructure to run such "application style tests" using python and
converts all our existing Perl TAP tests to this new infrastructure.
Some of the helper functions that are added in this PR are currently
unused. Most of these will be used by the CDC PR that depends on this.
Some others are there because they were needed by the PgBouncer test
framework that this is based on, and the functions seemed useful enough
to citus testing to keep.
The main features of the test suite are:
1. Application style tests using a programming language that our
developers know how to write.
2. Caching of Citus clusters in-between tests using the ["fixture"
pattern][fixture] from `pytest` to achieve speedy tests. To make this
work in practice any changes made during a test are automatically
undone. Schemas, replication slots, subscriptions, publications are
dropped at the end of each test. And any changes made by `ALTER SYSTEM`
or manually editing of `pg_hba.conf` are undone too.
3. Automatic parallel execution of tests using the `-n auto` flag that's
added by `pytest-xdist`. This improved the speed of tests greatly with
the similar test framework I created for PgBouncer. Right now it doesn't
help much yet though, since this PR only adds two tests (one of which
takes ~10 times longer than the other).
Possible future improvements are:
1. Clean up even more things at the end of each test (e.g. users that
were created). These are fairly easy to add, but I have not done so yet
since they were not needed yet for this PR or the CDC PR. So I would not
be able to test the cleanup easily.
2. Support for query block detection similar to what we can now do using
isolation tests.

DESCRIPTION: This PR removes the task dependencies between shard moves
for which the shards belong to different colocation groups. This change
results in scheduling multiple tasks in the RUNNABLE state. Therefore it
is possible that the background task monitor can run them concurrently.
Previously, all the shard moves planned in a rebalance operation took
dependency on each other sequentially.
For instance, given the following table and shards
colocation group 1 colocation group 2
table1 table2 table3 table4 table 5
shard11 shard21 shard31 shard41 shard51
shard12 shard22 shard32 shard42 shard52
if the rebalancer planner returned the below set of moves
` {move(shard11), move(shard12), move(shard41), move(shard42)}`
background rebalancer scheduled them such that they depend on each other
sequentially.
```
{move(reftables) if there is any, none}
|
move( shard11)
|
move(shard12)
| {move(shard41)<--- move(shard12)} This is an artificial dependency
move(shard41)
|
move(shard42)
```
This results in artificial dependencies between otherwise independent
moves.
Considering that the shards in different colocation groups can be moved
concurrently, this PR changes the dependency relationship between the
moves as follows:
```
{move(reftables) if there is any, none} {move(reftables) if there is any, none}
| |
move(shard11) move(shard41)
| |
move(shard12) move(shard42)
```

Description:
Implementing CDC changes using Logical Replication to avoid
re-publishing events multiple times by setting up replication origin
session, which will add "DoNotReplicateId" to every WAL entry.
- shard splits
- shard moves
- create distributed table
- undistribute table
- alter distributed tables (for some cases)
- reference table operations
The citus decoder which will be decoding WAL events for CDC clients,
ignores any WAL entry with replication origin that is not zero.
It also maps the shard names to distributed table names.
Soon I will be doing some changes related to #692 in router planner
and those changes require updating ~5/6 tests related to router
planning. And to make those test files runnable by run_test.py
multiple times, we need to make some other tests (that they're
run in parallel / they badly depend on) ready for run_test.py too.
When run_test.py is run for an upgrade_.*_after.sql then, then
automatically run the corresponding uprade_.*_before.sql file first.
This is because all those upgrade_.*_after.sql files depend on the
objects created in upgrade_.*_before.sql files by definition.
DESCRIPTION: Correctly report shard size in citus_shards view
When looking at citus_shards, people are interested in the actual size
that all the data related to the shard takes up on disk.
`pg_total_relation_size` is the function to use for that purpose. The
previously used `pg_relation_size` does not include indexes or TOAST.
Especially the missing toast can have enormous impact on the size of the
shown data.
First of all, this commit sets next_shard_id for
single_node_truncate.sql because shard ids in the test output were
changing whenever we modify a prior test file.
Then the flaky test detector started complaining about
single_node_truncate.sql. We fix that by specifying the correct
test dependency for it in run_test.py.
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.
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.
* Skip some exceptional test files in the flaky workflow, like
multi_extension
* Run some tests without a schedule, like single_node_enterprise
* Use minimal schedule for the tests in split and operations schedules
This PR adds a new CI workflow named ```flaky-test``` to run flaky test
detection on newly introduced regression tests.
