"Staging table" will be the only valid use of 'stage' from now on, we
will now say "load" when talking about data ingestion. If creation of
shards is its own step, we'll just say "shard creation".
Fixes#513
This change modifies the DDL Propagation logic so that DDL queries
are propagated via 2-Phase Commit protocol. This way, failures during
the execution of distributed DDL commands will not leave the table in
an intermediate state and the pending prepared transactions can be
commited manually.
DDL commands are not allowed inside other transaction blocks or functions.
DDL commands are performed with 2PC regardless of the value of
`citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol` parameter.
The workflow of the successful case is this:
1. Open individual connections to all shard placements and send `BEGIN`
2. Send `SELECT worker_apply_shard_ddl_command(<shardId>, <DDL Command>)`
to all connections, one by one, in a serial manner.
3. Send `PREPARE TRANSCATION <transaction_id>` to all connections.
4. Sedn `COMMIT` to all connections.
Failure cases:
- If a worker problem occurs before sending of all DDL commands is finished, then
all changes are rolled back.
- If a worker problem occurs after all DDL commands are sent but not after
`PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are finished, then all changes are rolled back.
However, if a worker node is failed, then the prepared transactions in that worker
should be rolled back manually.
- If a worker problem occurs during `COMMIT PREPARED` statements are being sent,
then the prepared transactions on the failed workers should be commited manually.
- If master fails before the first 'PREPARE TRANSACTION' is sent, then nothing is
changed on workers.
- If master fails during `PREPARE TRANSACTION` commands are being sent, then the
prepared transactions on workers should be rolled back manually.
- If master fails during `COMMIT PREPARED` or `ROLLBACK PREPARED` commands are being
sent, then the remaining prepared transactions on the workers should be handled manually.
This change also helps with #480, since failed DDL changes no longer mark
failed placements as inactive.
- Enables using VOLATILE functions (like nextval()) in INSERT queries
- Enables using STABLE functions (like now()) targetLists and joinTrees
UPDATE and INSERT can now contain non-immutable functions. INSERT can contain any kind of
expression, while UPDATE can contain any STABLE function, so long as a Var is not passed
into the STABLE function, even indirectly. UPDATE TagetEntry's can now also include Vars.
There's an exception, CASE/COALESCE statements may not contain mutable functions.
Functions calls in master_modify_multiple_shards are also evaluated.
Fixes#271
This change sets ShardIds and JobIds for each test case. Before this change,
when a new test that somehow increments Job or Shard IDs is added, then
the tests after the new test should be updated.
ShardID and JobID sequences are set at the beginning of each file with the
following commands:
```
ALTER SEQUENCE pg_catalog.pg_dist_shardid_seq RESTART 290000;
ALTER SEQUENCE pg_catalog.pg_dist_jobid_seq RESTART 290000;
```
ShardIds and JobIds are multiples of 10000. Exceptions are:
- multi_large_shardid: shardid and jobid sequences are set to much larger values
- multi_fdw_large_shardid: same as above
- multi_join_pruning: Causes a race condition with multi_hash_pruning since
they are run in parallel.
Fixes#10
This change creates a new UDF: master_modify_multiple_shards
Parameters:
modify_query: A simple DELETE or UPDATE query as a string.
The UDF is similar to the existing master_apply_delete_command UDF.
Basically, given the modify query, it prunes the shard list, re-constructs
the query for each shard and sends the query to the placements.
Depending on the value of citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol, the commit
can be done in one-phase or two-phase manner.
Limitations:
* It cannot be called inside a transaction block
* It only be called with simple operator expressions (like Single Shard Modify)
Sample Usage:
```
SELECT master_modify_multiple_shards(
'DELETE FROM customer_delete_protocol WHERE c_custkey > 500 AND c_custkey < 500');
```
