If you have multilevel partitioning, say partitions per year per site.
What is the volume of 2017 compared to 2016, on each site? I don't
think it needs to be super easy, but it should be reasonable.
I think pg_partition_parent() should be a simple function doing one
catalog lookup (already implemented as get_partition_parent(),
but needs a "missing_ok" case), and pg_partition_root() an iterative
version of that.
