1. Use clear current vanilla master.

2. Start two instances with the script 'frgn2n.sh' from attachment.
There are I set GUCs:
enable_partitionwise_join = true
enable_partitionwise_aggregate = true

3. Execute query:
explain analyze SELECT sum(parts.b)
	FROM parts, second
	WHERE parts.a = second.a AND second.b < 100;

That's all.
