 I review the v11 patch set, and here are a few of my thoughts:

1.  in setup_eager_aggregation(), before calling create_agg_clause_infos(),
it does
some checks if eager aggregation is available. Can we move those checks
into a function,
for example, can_eager_agg(), like can_partial_agg() does?

2.  I found that outside of joinrel.c we all use IS_DUMMY_REL,  but in
joinrel.c, Tom always uses
is_dummy_rel(). Other commiters use IS_DUMMY_REL.

3.  The attached patch does not consider FDW when creating a path for
grouped_rel or grouped_join.
Do we need to think about FDW?

I haven't finished reviewing the patch set. I will continue to learn this
feature.
