Hi.
In finalize_aggregate() when we see partial aggregate with
peragg->aggref->aggtranstype = INTERNALOID
we call aggregate's serialization function and return it as bytea.
The issue is that this internal representation isn't guaranteed to be
compatible between servers
of different versions (or architectures?). So, likely, we instead should
have called some export function for aggregate
and later - some import function on postgres_fdw side. It doesn't matter
much, what this export function
generates - text, json or some portable binary format,
1) export/import functions should just "understand" it,
2) it should be a stable representation.
