- 最近对citus的实现非常好奇，本篇对citus的行为做一些测试。
- 本篇只测行为，不分析源码。后面会继续写一系列文章分析citus源码。
环境：3节点 PG17 with citus。
sql
SELECT citus_set_coordinator_host('127.0.0.1', 3001);
SELECT citus_add_node('127.0.0.1', 3002);
SELECT citus_add_node('127.0.0.1', 3003);
SELECT rebalance_table_shards();
SELECT * from pg_dist_node;
postgres=# SELECT * from pg_dist_node;

(3 rows)case1：分布式表
- 注意表只能在cn建，dn建不能做create_distributed_table操作。
- dn上表能建，但cn上create_distributed_table时会报错，dn上已经有同名包。
结论：shard在dn上是暴漏在外面的，可以直接查询，和cn上查询效果一样。
sql
CREATE TABLE events (
device_id bigint,
event_id bigserial,
event_time timestamptz default now(),
data jsonb not null,
PRIMARY KEY (device_id, event_id)
);
SELECT create_distributed_table('events', 'device_id');
INSERT INTO events (device_id, data) SELECT s % 100, ('{"measurement":'||random()||'}')::jsonb FROM generate_series(1,1000000) s;-
device_id = 1在3003上，device_id = 2在3002上，说明数据还是分片存储的，分片策略现在还不清楚，后面看源码。
-
无论在哪个节点上，只要查询分布式表都能生成分布式计划。应该是会统一路由到cn上。具体怎么路由的需要看源码。

case2：分布式表 join 分布式表
sql
CREATE TABLE events1 (
device_id bigint,
event_id bigserial,
event_time timestamptz default now(),
data jsonb not null,
PRIMARY KEY (device_id, event_id)
);
SELECT create_distributed_table('events1', 'device_id');
INSERT INTO events1 (device_id, data) SELECT s % 100, ('{"measurement":'||random()||'}')::jsonb FROM generate_series(1,1000000) s;分布键join
- 并发开的很积极，in的条件全部被并行了，in几个值就能并行几个。
- 从计划上看是OK的，但执行时间上看明显不是每个worker在本地join的，要发送大量shuffle。说明citus默认分布式表的分布策略，对于不同表是不一样的。例如两个表的shard key都是device_id，但同一个device_id不一定在容一个节点上。
- Co-location表负责解决这类问题。Co-location表 = PGXC的distribute by hash表

- 计划能做出来一半本地计划，一半分布式计划。
- 分布式结果会做成
Function Scan on read_intermediate_result intermediate_result节点，提供给本地计划。 - CN上或DN上都能执行，分布式计划的部分都会路由到CN上执行，无论在哪个节点上，分布式计划结果都会做成Function Scan在进行下一步处理。
