if (!isnull)
{
        char       *exprString;
        Node       *expr;
        exprString = TextDatumGetCString(datum);
        expr = stringToNode(exprString);
        pfree(exprString);
        expr = expand_generated_columns_in_expr(expr, relation);
}
no need expand_generated_columns_in_expr?
in ComputePartitionAttrs, we already forbidden generated columns to be
part of the partition key.



check_modified_virtual_generated, we can replace fastgetattr to
heap_attisnull? like:
            // bool        isnull;
            // fastgetattr(tuple, i + 1, tupdesc, &isnull);
            // if (!isnull)
            //     ereport(ERROR,
            //             (errcode(ERRCODE_E_R_I_E_TRIGGER_PROTOCOL_VIOLATED),
            //              errmsg("trigger modified virtual generated
column value")));
            if (!heap_attisnull(tuple, i+1, tupdesc))
                ereport(ERROR,
                        (errcode(ERRCODE_E_R_I_E_TRIGGER_PROTOCOL_VIOLATED),
                         errmsg("trigger modified virtual generated
column value")));
