thein-execution
callback or hook.
Imagine if we had a hook within the ExecProcNode. In that scenario, we
could create a trivial extension that would stop the query after, let's
say, 10 minutes of execution and display the current state. This would
give us more reliable data on estimation and the state of the plan tree.
What are your thoughts?
