  1. parallel documentation improvements

    Robert Haas <robertmhaas@gmail.com> — 2017-08-01T18:43:04Z

    Hi,

In commit 054637d2e08cda6a096f48cc99696136a06f4ef5, I updated the
parallel query documentation to reflect recently-committed parallel
query features.  However, a few more things got committed after that.
Most of the attached patch consists of generalizing references to
Gather to also include Gather Merge, but also included a tweak to note
that uncorrelated subplans are no longer parallel-restricted and made
a few other minor improvements and clarifications.

Barring objections, I'd like to commit this in the next couple of days
so that it is included in beta3.  I probably should have gotten to do
this sooner; apologies for any inconvenience.

I think that in this bit:

      occurrence is frequent, considering increasing
      <varname>max_worker_processes</> and 
<varname>max_parallel_workers</>
      so that more workers can be run simultaneously or alternatively 
reducing
-    <xref linkend="guc-max-parallel-workers-per-gather"> so that the 
planner
+    <varname>max_parallel_workers_per_gather</varname> so that the 
planner
      requests fewer workers.


'considering increasing'  should be
'consider increasing'

Well, that didn't happen.   Oops.  But better late than never -- committed now.
