Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL distributed SQL API

APPLIES TO: Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL (powered by the Citus database extension to PostgreSQL)

Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL includes features beyond standard PostgreSQL. Below is a categorized reference of functions and configuration options for:

  • Parallelizing query execution across shards
  • Managing sharded data between multiple servers
  • Compressing data with columnar storage
  • Automating timeseries partitioning

SQL functions

Sharding

Name Description
alter_distributed_table Change the distribution column, shard count or colocation properties of a distributed table
citus_copy_shard_placement Repair an inactive shard placement using data from a healthy placement
citus_schema_distribute Turn a PostgreSQL schema into a distributed schema
citus_schema_undistribute Undo the action of citus_schema_distribute
create_distributed_table Turn a PostgreSQL table into a distributed (sharded) table
create_reference_table Maintain full copies of a table in sync across all nodes
citus_add_local_table_to_metadata Add a local table to metadata to enable querying it from any node
isolate_tenant_to_new_shard Create a new shard to hold rows with a specific single value in the distribution column
truncate_local_data_after_distributing_table Truncate all local rows after distributing a table
undistribute_table Undo the action of create_distributed_table or create_reference_table

Shard rebalancing

Name Description
citus_add_rebalance_strategy Append a row to pg_dist_rebalance_strategy
citus_move_shard_placement Typically used indirectly during shard rebalancing rather than being called directly by a database administrator
citus_set_default_rebalance_strategy Change the strategy named by its argument to be the default chosen when rebalancing shards
get_rebalance_progress Monitor the moves planned and executed by rebalance_table_shards
get_rebalance_table_shards_plan Output the planned shard movements of rebalance_table_shards without performing them
rebalance_table_shards Move shards of the given table to distribute them evenly among the workers

Colocation

Name Description
create_distributed_function Make function run on workers near colocated shards
update_distributed_table_colocation Update or break colocation of a distributed table

Columnar storage

Name Description
alter_columnar_table_set Change settings on a columnar table
alter_table_set_access_method Convert a table between heap or columnar storage

Timeseries partitioning

Name Description
alter_old_partitions_set_access_method Change storage method of partitions
create_time_partitions Create partitions of a given interval to cover a given range of time
drop_old_time_partitions Remove all partitions whose intervals fall before a given timestamp

Informational

Name Description
citus_get_active_worker_nodes Get active worker host names and port numbers
citus_relation_size Get disk space used by all the shards of the specified distributed table
citus_remote_connection_stats Show the number of active connections to each remote node
citus_stat_statements_reset Remove all rows from citus_stat_statements
citus_table_size Get disk space used by all the shards of the specified distributed table, excluding indexes
citus_total_relation_size Get total disk space used by the all the shards of the specified distributed table, including all indexes and TOAST data
column_to_column_name Translate the partkey column of pg_dist_partition into a textual column name
get_shard_id_for_distribution_column Find the shard ID associated with a value of the distribution column

Server parameters

citus.enable_repartition_joins Allow JOINs made on non-distribution columns
citus.enable_repartitioned_insert_select Allow repartitioning rows from the SELECT statement and transferring them between workers for insertion
citus.limit_clause_row_fetch_count The number of rows to fetch per task for limit clause optimization
citus.local_table_join_policy Where data moves when doing a join between local and distributed tables
citus.multi_shard_commit_protocol The commit protocol to use when performing COPY on a hash distributed table
citus.propagate_set_commands Which SET commands are propagated from the coordinator to workers
citus.create_object_propagation Behavior of CREATE statements in transactions for supported objects

Inter-node connection management

Name Description
citus.executor_slow_start_interval Time to wait in milliseconds between opening connections to the same worker node
