Tablespaces can now be associated with a hypertable
using the new user-facing API attach_tablespace().
Alternatively, if the main table, which is to be
converted into a hypertable, was created with an
associated tablespace, that tablespace will
automatically be associated also with the hypertable.
Whenever a chunk is created, a tablespace will be
chosen from the ones associated with the chunk's
hypertable (if any). This is done in a way that ensures
consistency in one dimension. I.e., if a hypertable
has a closed (space) dimension with a fixed number
of slices (ranges), it will ensure that chunks that
fall in the same slice will alsp be stored in the same
tablespace.
If a hypertable has more than one closed dimension,
the first one will be used to assign tablespaces
to chunks. If the table has no closed dimensions, but
one or more open (time) dimensions, then the first
time dimension will be used. However, since open
dimensions do not have a fixed number of slices,
tablespaces will be assigned in a round-robbin
fashion as new slices are created. Still, chunks
in the same time slice will be stored in the same
tablespace.
Clean up the table schema to get rid of legacy tables and functionality
that makes it more difficult to provide an upgrade path.
Notable changes:
* Get rid of legacy tables and code
* Simplify directory structure for SQL code
* Simplify table hierarchy: remove root table and make chunk tables
* inherit directly from main table
* Change chunk table suffix from _data to _chunk
* Simplify schema usage: _timescaledb_internal for internal functions.
* _timescaledb_catalog for metadata tables.
* Remove postgres_fdw dependency
* Improve code comments in sql code
