Thanks for compiling the first draft. I think there are few things
which we should add to the Parallel Queries section. (a) commit
e89a71fb449af2ef74f47be1175f99956cf21524 -
Pass InitPlan values to workers via Gather (Merge). We can write
something like "Allow the part of the plan that references an initplan
to run in parallel" or "Parallelise queries containing initplans",
(b) "Parallelise queries that contains expensive functions in target
lists" (Commits - 3f90ec8597c3515e0d3190613b31491686027e4b and
11cf92f6e2e13c0a6e3f98be3e629e6bd90b74d5).
Both of these features can parallelize queries in many workloads. The
feature (a) has sped up some of the TPC-H queries especially the cases
where InitPlan itself contains Gather node and feature (b) is also
quite helpful with PostGIS functions, see
