I see 3 usages of makeNode(ResultRelInfo) in Timescale:
- src/nodes/chunk_dispatch/chunk_insert_state.c
- src/copy.c
- src/ts_catalog/catalog.c
In the first case it's followed by InitResultRelInfo(). In the second
- by ExecInitResultRelation() in its turn calls InitResultRelInfo().
The third case is the following:
```
extern TSDLLEXPORT ResultRelInfo *
ts_catalog_open_indexes(Relation heapRel)
{
ResultRelInfo *resultRelInfo;
resultRelInfo = makeNode(ResultRelInfo);
resultRelInfo->ri_RangeTableIndex = 0; /* dummy */
resultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc = heapRel;
resultRelInfo->ri_TrigDesc = NULL; /* we don't fire triggers */
ExecOpenIndices(resultRelInfo, false);
return resultRelInfo;
}
```
Where it's used from there is hard to track but it looks like this is
the reason why the new field ri_needLockTagTuple is not initialized.
I'll pass this piece of information to my colleagues.
