Create the XOR operator in the ACE schema, not in search_path. - #165

Conversation
CREATE OPERATOR # was unqualified, so it landed in the first schema of search_path, usually public, while the function it calls stayed in the ACE schema. An operator that depends on a schema it does not live in breaks anything that copies one without the other: spock's node join dumps the source with --exclude-schema=pgedge_ace, which drops the function but keeps the operator, and pg_restore then fails with 'schema "pgedge_ace" does not exist'. The joining node's apply worker exits and the add_node never completes. Qualify the operator, and qualify its one use in BuildParentNodes so it still resolves with the ACE schema out of search_path. Reclaim an operator an earlier ACE stranded elsewhere, matching on oprcode so one built on somebody else's function is left alone.

The previous commit moved the # operator into the ACE schema so a dump that excludes that schema, as Spock's add_node takes, would restore. That still left two problems. BuildParentNodes then needed the operator in the ACE schema, so upgraded clusters failed in mtree build and update with "operator does not exist" until init was re-run. And re-running init to get it drops and recreates the change-tracking slot, losing changes the Merkle trees had not yet picked up. The operator was only shorthand for bytea_xor, which earlier versions already created in the ACE schema. BuildParentNodes now calls the function, so upgraded clusters keep working without re-running init, and ACE no longer creates the operator. mtree init still drops the #(bytea,bytea) operator earlier versions left on bytea_xor, usually in public. Each drop runs in a savepoint: if another role owns the operator or something depends on it, init logs a warning with the exact DROP OPERATOR command and carries on. Only a dump that excludes the ACE schema is affected, not ACE itself. The function signature is passed as a bind parameter rather than put inside a SQL literal. The CHANGELOG tells users to drop the leftover operator by hand once every ACE host is upgraded, rather than re-running init. Tests: the init test checks that no operator is created and nothing outside the ACE schema depends on it. A new test starts with the old operator in place and checks three things: build works before init is re-run, init drops that operator but leaves unrelated ones alone, and a dependent view makes init warn instead of fail.

- Around line 32-33: Update the changelog guidance around the operator-list
query so it no longer says that zero rows means the node is ready for add_node;
instead, make clear that this only indicates no matching legacy # operator
remains. Keep the reference to the existing query and ACE/operator cleanup
context, and avoid implying readiness when cross-schema dependencies like the
seeded operator in tests/integration/merkle_tree_test.go can still exist.
In `@tests/integration/merkle_tree_test.go`:
- Line 1414: Update the dependency query’s schema filter so dependencies
recorded on rewrite rules resolve their owning schema through
pg_rewrite.ev_class instead of relying on dep.schema; add a direct-view fixture
that calls bytea_xor outside the ACE schema and verify it is not excluded by the
query.

Resolve the owning schema for view dependencies.
If a view outside the ACE schema calls bytea_xor directly, PostgreSQL records the dependency on the view’s rewrite rule. That rule has no dep.schema, so dep.schema <> $1 excludes it. The require.Empty assertions can then pass even though the view still prevents a dump that excludes the ACE schema from restoring. Resolve a rule’s schema through pg_rewrite.ev_class, and add a direct-view fixture. (postgresql.org)

Hi Mason,
I had initially avoided using the bytea_xor function directly to eliminate the
dependency, but you make a fair point.
