For a database that does not create the citus extension by running
` CREATE EXTENSION citus;`
`CitusHasBeenLoaded ` function ends up querying the `pg_extension` table
every time it is invoked. This is not an ideal situation for a such a
database.
The idea in this PR is as follows:
### A new field in MetadataCache.
Add a new variable `extensionCreatedState `of the following type:
```
typedef enum ExtensionCreatedState
{
UNKNOWN = 0,
CREATED = 1,
NOTCREATED = 2,
} ExtensionCreatedState;
```
When the MetadataCache is invalidated, `ExtensionCreatedState` will be
set to UNKNOWN.
### Invalidate MetadataCache when CREATE/DROP/ALTER EXTENSION citus
commands are run.
- Register a callback function, named
`InvalidateDistRelationCacheCallback`, for relcache invalidation during
the shared library initialization for `citus.so`. This callback function
is invoked in all the backends whenever the relcache is invalidated in
one of the backends. (This could be caused many DDLs operations).
- In the cache invalidation callback,`
InvalidateDistRelationCacheCallback`, invalidate `MetadataCache` zeroing
it out.
- In `CitusHasBeenLoaded`, perform the costly citus is loaded check only
if the `MetadataCache` is not valid.
### Downsides
Any relcache invalidation (caused by various DDL operations) will case
Citus MetadataCache to get invalidated. Most of the time it will be
unnecessary. But we rely on that DDL operations on relations will not be
too frequent.
