PostgreSQL , citus , 窗口函数
背景
窗口函数是分析场景常用的，目前(citus 7.5)仅支持两种场景使用window函数，
1、partition by 必须是分布键。
2、where条件里面带分布键的等值过滤条件。
本质上：目前（citus 7.5）window函数不支持跨shard操作，或者说过程中不进行重分布。
而Greenplum这方面做得很好，是一个完整的MPP数据库。
citus window函数的支持
postgres=# \set VERBOSITY verbose
postgres=# select row_number() over(partition by bid order by aid) rn,* from pgbench_accounts;
ERROR: 0A000: could not run distributed query because the window function that is used cannot be pushed down
HINT: Window functions are supported in two ways.
Either add an equality filter on the distributed tables' partition column
or
use the window functions with a PARTITION BY clause containing the distribution column
LOCATION: DeferErrorIfQueryNotSupported, multi_logical_planner.c:938
满足以下条件即可支持
1、partition by 必须是分布键。
2、where条件里面带分布键的等值过滤条件。
postgres=# select row_number() over(partition by bid order by aid) rn,* from pgbench_accounts where aid=1;
rn | aid | bid | abalance | filler
----+-----+-----+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
(1 row)
postgres=# select row_number() over(partition by aid order by bid) rn,* from pgbench_accounts limit 1;
rn | aid | bid | abalance | filler
----+-----+-----+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | 298 | 1 | 0 |

Citus未在window调用中支持重分布的过程。
greenplum window函数的支持
支持任意姿势的window调用
postgres=# create table t(id int, c1 int, c2 int);
NOTICE: Table doesn't have 'DISTRIBUTED BY' clause -- Using column named 'id' as the Greenplum Database data distribution key for this table.
HINT: The 'DISTRIBUTED BY' clause determines the distribution of data. Make sure column(s) chosen are the optimal data distribution key to minimize skew.
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t select random()*100000, random()*10, random()*100 from generate_series(1,10000000);
INSERT 0 10000000
postgres=# explain select row_number() over (partition by c1 order by id) rn,* from t ;

小结
citus 7.5的版本，对窗口函数的支持仅如下条件（二选一，满足即可调用）：
本质上：目前（citus 7.5）window函数不支持跨shard操作。
1、partition by 必须是分布键。
2、where条件里面带分布键的等值过滤条件。
还是回到那句话，write in SQL, thinking in mapreduce。懂了这句话的精髓，你才可以使用citus用作分析场景，否则先乖乖的用来做TP为主的业务。
（比如上面不支持的场景，一条SQL拆成多条，最笨的方法，先创建一个临时表（按PARTITION BY分布），然后再跑window函数就支持了，多走几步即可。）
让CITUS支持本身不支持的SQL语法的最愉快的方法：
把结构导入Greenplum，看Greenplum的执行计划，将Redistribute Motion 的部分，在citus里面用临时表实现。 你照这个做，绝对可以让citus跑OLAP很欢快。
