Brian Cloutier 1df4b8ba32 Better error on "CREATE INDEX already_exists ..." 
Previously (if you're creating the index with the same name on different
tables) we successfully ran the command on the workers before failing it
on the master and leaving no record of the index.

Now we check whether the index exists on the master before sending
commands to the workers.

--

Also make the error better when user attampts to create an index without
a name. Previously those statements returned:

brian=# create index on c (b);
WARNING:  could not receive query results from localhost:9700
DETAIL:  Client error: cannot extend name for null index name
ERROR:  could not execute DDL command on worker node shards

They now return

brian=# create index on c (b);
ERROR:  creating index without a name on a distributed table is
currently unsupported

What is Citus?

  • Open-source PostgreSQL extension (not a fork)
  • Scalable across multiple hosts through sharding and replication
  • Distributed engine for query parallelization
  • Highly available in the face of host failures

Citus horizontally scales PostgreSQL across commodity servers using sharding and replication. Its query engine parallelizes incoming SQL queries across these servers to enable real-time responses on large datasets.

Citus extends the underlying database rather than forking it, which gives developers and enterprises the power and familiarity of a traditional relational database. As an extension, Citus supports new PostgreSQL releases, allowing users to benefit from new features while maintaining compatibility with existing PostgreSQL tools. Note that Citus supports many (but not all) SQL commands; see the FAQ for more details.

Common Use-Cases:

  • Powering real-time analytic dashboards
  • Exploratory queries on events as they happen
  • Large dataset archival and reporting
  • Session analytics (funnels, segmentation, and cohorts)

Quickstart

Local Citus Cluster

  • Install docker-compose: Mac | Linux

  • (Mac only) connect to Docker VM

    eval $(docker-machine env default)

  • Pull and start the docker images

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citusdata/docker/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose -p citus up -d

  • Connect to the master database

    docker exec -it citus_master psql -U postgres -d postgres

  • Follow the first tutorial instructions

  • To shut the cluster down, run

    docker-compose -p citus down
