* subselect.h
Avoid sharing PARAM_EXEC slots between different levels of NestLoop. Up to now, createplan.c attempted to share PARAM_EXEC slots for NestLoopParams across different plan levels, if the same underlying Var was being fed down to different righthand-side subplan trees by different NestLoops. This was, I think, more of an artifact of using subselect.c's PlannerParamItem infrastructure than an explicit design goal, but anyway that was the end result. This works well enough as long as the plan tree is executing synchronously, but the feature whereby Gather can execute the parallelized subplan locally breaks it. An upper NestLoop node might execute for a row retrieved from a parallel worker, and assign a value for a PARAM_EXEC slot from that row, while the leader's copy of the parallelized subplan is suspended with a different active value of the row the Var comes from. When control eventually returns to the leader's subplan, it gets the wrong answers if the same PARAM_EXEC slot is being used within the subplan, as reported in bug #15577 from Bartosz Polnik. This is pretty reminiscent of the problem fixed in commit 46c508fbc, and the proper fix seems to be the same: don't try to share PARAM_EXEC slots across different levels of controlling NestLoop nodes. This requires decoupling NestLoopParam handling from PlannerParamItem handling, although the logic remains somewhat similar. To avoid bizarre division of labor between subselect.c and createplan.c, I decided to move all the param-slot-assignment logic for both cases out of those files and put it into a new file paramassign.c. Hopefully it's a bit better documented now, too. A regression test case for this might be nice, but we don't know a test case that triggers the problem with a suitably small amount of data. Back-patch to 9.6 where we added Gather nodes. It's conceivable that related problems exist in older branches; but without some evidence for that, I'll leave the older branches alone.

Make the upper part of the planner work by generating and comparing Paths. I've been saying we needed to do this for more than five years, and here it finally is. This patch removes the ever-growing tangle of spaghetti logic that grouping_planner() used to use to try to identify the best plan for post-scan/join query steps. Now, there is (nearly) independent consideration of each execution step, and entirely separate construction of Paths to represent each of the possible ways to do that step. We choose the best Path or set of Paths using the same add_path() logic that's been used inside query_planner() for years. In addition, this patch removes the old restriction that subquery_planner() could return only a single Plan. It now returns a RelOptInfo containing a set of Paths, just as query_planner() does, and the parent query level can use each of those Paths as the basis of a SubqueryScanPath at its level. This allows finding some optimizations that we missed before, wherein a subquery was capable of returning presorted data and thereby avoiding a sort in the parent level, making the overall cost cheaper even though delivering sorted output was not the cheapest plan for the subquery in isolation. (A couple of regression test outputs change in consequence of that. However, there is very little change in visible planner behavior overall, because the point of this patch is not to get immediate planning benefits but to create the infrastructure for future improvements.) There is a great deal left to do here. This patch unblocks a lot of planner work that was basically impractical in the old code structure, such as allowing FDWs to implement remote aggregation, or rewriting plan_set_operations() to allow consideration of multiple implementation orders for set operations. (The latter will likely require a full rewrite of plan_set_operations(); what I've done here is only to fix it to return Paths not Plans.) I have also left unfinished some localized refactoring in createplan.c and planner.c, because it was not necessary to get this patch to a working state. Thanks to Robert Haas, David Rowley, and Amit Kapila for review.

extern void SS_charge_for_initplans(PlannerInfo *root, RelOptInfo *final_rel);
Allow plan nodes with initPlans to be considered parallel-safe. If the plan itself is parallel-safe, and the initPlans are too, there's no reason anymore to prevent the plan from being marked parallel-safe. That restriction (dating to commit ab77a5a45) was really a special case of the fact that we couldn't transmit subplans to parallel workers at all. We fixed that in commit 5e6d8d2bb and follow-ons, but this case never got addressed. We still forbid attaching initPlans to a Gather node that's inserted pursuant to debug_parallel_query = regress. That's because, when we hide the Gather from EXPLAIN output, we'd hide the initPlans too, causing cosmetic regression diffs. It seems inadvisable to kluge EXPLAIN to the extent required to make the output look the same, so just don't do it in that case. Along the way, this also takes care of some sloppiness about updating path costs to match when we move initplans from one place to another during createplan.c and setrefs.c. Since all the planning decisions are already made by that point, this is just cosmetic; but it seems good to keep EXPLAIN output consistent with where the initplans are. The diff in query_planner() might be worth remarking on. I found that one because after fixing things to allow parallel-safe initplans, one partition_prune test case changed plans (as shown in the patch) --- but only when debug_parallel_query was active. The reason proved to be that we only bothered to mark Result nodes as potentially parallel-safe when debug_parallel_query is on. This neglects the fact that parallel-safety may be of interest for a sub-query even though the Result itself doesn't parallelize. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1129530.1681317832@sss.pgh.pa.us
