This change adds support for serial columns to be used with MX tables.
Prior to this change, sequences of serial columns were created in all
workers (for being able to create shards) but never used. With MX, we
need to set the sequences so that sequences in each worker create
unique values. This is done by setting the MINVALUE, MAXVALUE and
START values of the sequence.
So far we've reloaded them frequently. Besides avoiding that cost -
noticeable for some workloads with large shard counts - it makes it
easier to add information to ShardPlacements that help us make
placement_connection.c colocation aware.
With this change, we start to replicate all reference tables to the new node when new node
is added to the cluster with master_add_node command. We also update replication factor
of reference table's colocation group.
With this change we introduce new UDF, upgrade_to_reference_table, which can be used to
upgrade existing broadcast tables reference tables. For upgrading, we require that given
table contains only one shard.
Renamed FindShardIntervalIndex() to ShardIndex() and added binary search
capability. It used to assume that hash partition tables are always
uniformly distributed which is not true if upcoming tenant isolation
feature is applied. This commit also reduces code duplication.
With this commit, we implemented some basic features of reference tables.
To start with, a reference table is
* a distributed table whithout a distribution column defined on it
* the distributed table is single sharded
* and the shard is replicated to all nodes
Reference tables follows the same code-path with a single sharded
tables. Thus, broadcast JOINs are applicable to reference tables.
But, since the table is replicated to all nodes, table fetching is
not required any more.
Reference tables support the uniqueness constraints for any column.
Reference tables can be used in INSERT INTO .. SELECT queries with
the following rules:
* If a reference table is in the SELECT part of the query, it is
safe join with another reference table and/or hash partitioned
tables.
* If a reference table is in the INSERT part of the query, all
other participating tables should be reference tables.
Reference tables follow the regular co-location structure. Since
all reference tables are single sharded and replicated to all nodes,
they are always co-located with each other.
Queries involving only reference tables always follows router planner
and executor.
Reference tables can have composite typed columns and there is no need
to create/define the necessary support functions.
All modification queries, master_* UDFs, EXPLAIN, DDLs, TRUNCATE,
sequences, transactions, COPY, schema support works on reference
tables as expected. Plus, all the pre-requisites associated with
distribution columns are dismissed.
With this PR, we add foreign key support to ALTER TABLE commands. For now,
we only support foreign constraint creation via ALTER TABLE query, if it
is only subcommand in ALTER TABLE subcommand list.
We also only allow foreign key creation if replication factor is 1.
While creating a colocated table, we don't want the source table to be dropped.
However, using a ShareLock blocks DML statements on the source table, and
using AccessShareLock is enough to prevent DROP. Therefore, we just loosened
the lock to AccessShareLock.
Added a new UDF, mark_tables_colocated(), to colocate tables with the same
configuration (shard count, shard replication count and distribution column type).
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.
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
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 change adds the required infrastructure about metadata snapshot from MX
codebase into Citus, mainly metadata_sync.c file and master_metadata_snapshot UDF.
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.
Related to #786
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.
Fixescitusdata/citus#781 and citusdata/citus#179.
