Feedback on
v6-0002-Improve-the-naming-of-Parallel-Hash-Join-phases.patch
I like renaming DONE to FREE and ALLOCATE TO REALLOCATE in the grow
barriers. FREE only makes sense for the Build barrier if you keep the
added PHJ_BUILD_RUN phase, though, I assume you would change this patch
if you decided not to add the new build barrier phase.
I like the addition of the asterisks to indicate a phase is executed by
a single arbitrary process. I was thinking, shall we add one of these to
HJ_FILL_INNER since it is only done by one process in parallel right and
full hash join? Maybe that's confusing because serial hash join uses
that state machine too, though. Maybe **? Maybe we should invent a
complicated symbolic language :)
One tiny, random, unimportant thing: The function prototype for
ExecParallelHashJoinPartitionOuter() calls its parameter "node" and, in
the definition, it is called "hjstate". This feels like a good patch to
throw in that tiny random change to make the name the same.
static void ExecParallelHashJoinPartitionOuter(HashJoinState *node);
static void
ExecParallelHashJoinPartitionOuter(HashJoinState *hjstate)
