Thanks Ashutosh. Yes, it does fix the issue. Partial Nested Loop joins
are generated now. If I see any unexpected differences in the
estimated or actual costs, I will report that in the Parallel Append
thread. As far as Partition-wise join is concerned, this issue is
solved, because Partial nested loop join does get created.

Commits

  1. Add test for partitionwise join involving default partition.

  2. Rewrite the code that applies scan/join targets to paths.

  3. Fix code related to partitioning schemes for dropped columns.

  4. Copy information from the relcache instead of pointing to it.

  5. Basic partition-wise join functionality.

  6. Associate partitioning information with each RelOptInfo.

  7. Expand partitioned table RTEs level by level, without flattening.

  8. Set partitioned_rels appropriately when UNION ALL is used.

  9. Remove dedicated B-tree root-split record types.

  10. Assorted preparatory refactoring for partition-wise join.

  11. Teach adjust_appendrel_attrs(_multilevel) to do multiple translations.

  12. Avoid unnecessary single-child Append nodes.

  13. Revisit handling of UNION ALL subqueries with non-Var output columns.
