Hi Amit,
Thanks for incorporating my changes into the patchset. A while ago I
was rebasing the run-time pruning patch on top of this but ran into a
few problems which are all results of my changes.
1. remove_redundant_clauses collapses the PartClause list into the
most restrictive set of clauses. This disallows multiple evaluations
of the PartitionClauseInfo during runtime pruning. I've written a
proposed fix for this and attached it.
2. PartitionClauseInfo->keyclauses is a list of PartClause which is
not a node type. This will cause _copyPartitionClauseInfo() to fail.
I'm still not quite sure the best way to fix #2 since PartClause
contains a FmgrInfo. I do have a local fix which moves PartClause to
primnodes.h and makes it a proper node type. I also added a copy
function which does not copy any of the cache fields in PartClause. It
just sets valid_cache to false. I didn't particularly think this was
the correct fix. I just couldn't think of how exactly this should be
done at the time.
The attached patch also adds the missing nodetag from
PartitionClauseInfo and also fixes up other code so as we don't memset
the node memory to zero, as that would destroy the tag. I ended up
just having extract_partition_key_clauses do the makeNode call. This
also resulted in populate_partition_clauses being renamed to
generate_partition_clauses
