In ErrorIfShardPlacementsNotColocated(), while checking if shards are colocated,
error out if matching shard intervals have different number of shard placements.
Added a new UDF, mark_tables_colocated(), to colocate tables with the same
configuration (shard count, shard replication count and distribution column type).
Fixcitusdata/citus#886
The way postgres' explain hook is designed means that our hook is never
called during EXPLAIN EXECUTE. So, we special-case EXPLAIN EXECUTE by
catching it in the utility hook. We then replace the EXECUTE with the
original query and pass it back to Citus.
Previously, when a repair is requested on a shard, we also repair all co-located shards
of given shard, which may cause repairing already healthy shards. With this change, we
only repair given shard.
This forces prepared statements to be re-planned after changes of the
placement metadata. There's some locking issues remaining, but that's a
a separate task.
Also add regression tests verifying that invalidations take effect on
prepared statements.
This commit adds INSERT INTO ... SELECT feature for distributed tables.
We implement INSERT INTO ... SELECT by pushing down the SELECT to
each shard. To compute that we use the router planner, by adding
an "uninstantiated" constraint that the partition column be equal to a
certain value. standard_planner() distributes that constraint to all
the tables where it knows how to push the restriction safely. An example
is that the tables that are connected via equi joins.
The router planner then iterates over the target table's shards,
for each we replace the "uninstantiated" restriction, with one that
PruneShardList() handles. Do so by replacing the partitioning qual
parameter added in multi_planner() with the current shard's
actual boundary values. Also, add the current shard's boundary values to the
top level subquery to ensure that even if the partitioning qual is
not distributed to all the tables, we never run the queries on the shards
that don't match with the current shard boundaries. Finally, perform the
normal shard pruning to decide on whether to push the query to the
current shard or not.
We do not support certain SQLs on the subquery, which are described/commented
on ErrorIfInsertSelectQueryNotSupported().
We also added some locking on the router executor. When an INSERT/SELECT command
runs on a distributed table with replication factor >1, we need to ensure that
it sees the same result on each placement of a shard. So we added the ability
such that router executor takes exclusive locks on shards from which the SELECT
in an INSERT/SELECT reads in order to prevent concurrent changes. This is not a
very optimal solution, but it's simple and correct. The
citus.all_modifications_commutative can be used to avoid aggressive locking.
An INSERT/SELECT whose filters are known to exclude any ongoing writes can be
marked as commutative. See RequiresConsistentSnapshot() for the details.
We also moved the decison of whether the multiPlan should be executed on
the router executor or not to the planning phase. This allowed us to
integrate multi task router executor tasks to the router executor smoothly.
The necessity for this functionality comes from the fact that ruleutils.c is not supposed to be
used on "rewritten" queries (i.e. ones that have been passed through QueryRewrite()).
Query rewriting is the process in which views and such are expanded,
and, INSERT/UPDATE targetlists are reordered to match the physical order,
defaults etc. For the details of reordeing, see transformInsertRow().
We'd been relying on a single SET search_path command in an earlier
script, but a subsequent script RESET search_path, causing any further
bare functions to be created in the first schema on the search path.
However, starting with an older extension version and executing ALTER
scripts one at a time DOES avoid putting any functions in the public
namespace, so I wrote an upgrade script resilient to that, especially
because PostgreSQL 9.5 will error out if a function is already in the
schema it's being moved to.
Between restart (running the new code) and ALTER EXTENSION citus
UPGRADE there was an inconsistency where we assumed that
pg_dist_partition had the repmodel column set. Now we give it a default
value if the column doesn't exist yet.
With this change, we now push down foreign key constraints created during CREATE TABLE
statements. We also start to send foreign constraints during shard move along with
other DDL statements
create_reference_table() creates a hash distributed table with shard count
equals to 1 and replication factor equals to shard_replication_factor
configuration value.
Adds support for PostgreSQL 9.6 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
file and refactoring the out/readfuncs code to flexibly support the
old-style copy/pasted out/readfuncs (prior to 9.6) or use extensible
node APIs (in 9.6 and higher).
Most version-specific code within this change is only needed to set new
fields in the AggRef nodes we build for aggregations. Version-specific
test output files were added in certain cases, though in most they were
not necessary. Each such file begins by e.g. printing the major version
in order to clarify its purpose.
The comment atop citus_nodes.h details how to add support for new nodes
for when that becomes necessary.
This change adds the pg_dist_local_group metadata table, which indicates
the group id of the current node. It is expected that this table contains
one and only one row, which only contains the group id of the node as an
integer.
With this change, master_copy_shard_placement and master_move_shard_placement functions
start to copy/move given shard along with its co-located shards.
This commit completes having support in Citus by adding having support for
real-time and task-tracker executors. Multiple tests are added to regression
tests to cover new supported queries with having support.
This change adds the required infrastructure about metadata snapshot from MX
codebase into Citus, mainly metadata_sync.c file and master_metadata_snapshot UDF.
Two sets of tests are fixed by this change:
* multi_agg_approximate_distinct
* those in multi_task_tracker_extra_schedule
The first broke when we renamed stage to load in many files and was
never being run because the HyperLogLog extension wasn't easily
available in Debian. Now it's in our repo, so we install it and run
the test. I removed the distinct HLL target in favor of just always
running it and providing an output variant to handle when the extension
is absent. Basically, if PostgreSQL thinks HLL is available, the test
installs it and runs normally, otherwise the absent variant is used.
The second broke when I removed a test variant, erroneously believing
it to be related to an older Citus version. I've added a line in that
test to clarify why the variant is necessary (a practice we should
widely adopt).
So far placements were assigned an Oid, but that was just used to track
insertion order. It also did so incompletely, as it was not preserved
across changes of the shard state. The behaviour around oid wraparound
was also not entirely as intended.
The newly introduced, explicitly assigned, IDs are preserved across
shard-state changes.
The prime goal of this change is not to improve ordering of task
assignment policies, but to make it easier to reference shards. The
newly introduced UpdateShardPlacementState() makes use of that, and so
will the in-progress connection and transaction management changes.

This change adds the `pg_dist_node` table that contains the information
about the workers in the cluster, replacing the previously used
`pg_worker_list.conf` file (or the one specified with `citus.worker_list_file`).
Upon update, `pg_worker_list.conf` file is read and `pg_dist_node` table is
populated with the file's content. After that, `pg_worker_list.conf` file
is renamed to `pg_worker_list.conf.obsolete`
For adding and removing nodes, the change also includes two new UDFs:
`master_add_node` and `master_remove_node`, which require superuser
permissions.
'citus.worker_list_file' guc is kept for update purposes but not used after the
update is finished.
related to a table that might be distributed, allowing any name
that is within regular PostgreSQL length limits to be extended
with a shard ID for use in shards on workers. Handles multi-byte
character boundaries in identifiers when making prefixes for
shard-extended names. Includes tests.
Uses hash_any from PostgreSQL's access/hashfunc.c.
Removes AppendShardIdToStringInfo() as it's used only once
and arguably is best replaced there with a call to AppendShardIdToName().
Adds UDF shard_name(object_name, shard_id) to expose the shard-extended
name logic to other PL/PGSQL, UDFs and scripts.
Bumps version to 6.0-2 to allow for UDF to be created in migration script.
