After further poking at this, I've concluded that you're right and
we should not try to make the "add extra nullingrels all the time"
approach work.  It still seems theoretically cleaner to me, but
there are too many messy special cases.

Accordingly, here's a reviewed/revised version of the v3 patch series
you posted earlier.  Significant changes:

* I was not impressed by the idea of adding a join_info_array to look
up by ojrelid.  It seemed to me that your changes around that replaced
foreach loops over join_info_list with bms_next_member loops over
relid sets that you often had to do extra calculations to create.
Whether that's a performance win at all is debatable.  Moreover,
I realized from testing this that situations where there are
pushed-down OJs are pretty rare (there are *none* in the core
regression tests before the cases added below), so optimizing for
that at the cost of extra cycles when it doesn't happen is probably
not the way.

* I did keep the idea of splitting up commute_below from my other
patch series.  That's 0001 below and then I rebased 0002-0004 on
that.

* I'm not terribly happy with 0004 as it stands, specifically the
business of making build_join_rel recalculate pushed_down_ojrelids
from scratch.  Again, that's adding cycles to the mainline case to
support an unusual case.  It'd be better to make
add_outer_joins_to_relids have an extra output that is the
pushed_down_ojrelids set, and pass that forward.  I ran out of time
to make that happen today, though.

* 0005 below adds the original test case and cases based on the other
examples given at various points in this thread.  I put that last
because until 0004 one or the other of these tests fails miserably.
All the expected outputs here match what v15 does.

* While I've not done it here, I'm seriously considering reverting
those Asserts in setrefs.c back to somewhat-informative elogs,
at least till late in beta.  It seems like we are still at a point
where we need to make it easy to acquire info about failures in this
logic, and using Asserts isn't all that conducive to that.

            regards, tom lane

Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] Split SpecialJoinInfo.commute_below into LHS and RHS
 parts.

Storing just a single relid set seems to have been a poor decision,
as there are more places where that adds effort than removes effort
compared to having separate LHS and RHS sets.  Up to now, none of
the involved places were performance-critical, but the next patch
in this series will add a usage that's hit multiple times per outer
join joinrel.  So let's split the field into two parts, making it
more like commute_above_[lr].

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] Postpone adding pushed down ojrelid to a join's
 relids.

When we apply outer join identity 3 in the forward direction, don't
immediately add the now-lower join's relid to the relid set of the
join.  This represents the fact that values from the "C" relation
(the join's RHS) aren't going to be fully correct until we perform
the other, commuted join.

Per report from Andrey Lepikhov.  Thanks to Richard Guo for
investigation and testing.
