Hello hackers,

Here is the updated patch, now in different files. It should hopefully

be clearer to understand and easier to review.

This series only implements the WALK syntax.

Best regards,

I would build upon the parent.  The open items behind the revert are
about catalogs and dependencies, not about execution, so the shape
your node sits on should come back much as it was.  Reimplementing a
subset means answering the catalog questions that are exactly the ones
still open, and your executor patch would then have to carry them.

Reverting the revert gives you a commit, and that commit is your
development base:

    git checkout -b pgq-restore master
    git revert --no-commit b1f106c80
    git commit -m "Restore SQL/PGQ as a cfbot base; not for review"

Then build your work on top of it, and post both commits in order:

    git format-patch -o . master..<your branch>

That gives 0001 for the base and 0002 for your work, and cfbot has
something to apply.

One thing to watch: the base is a large patch touching many files, so
with your own on top the mail may be big enough to be held for
moderation.

Once Ashutosh posts the patch series again, use that as the base
instead and drop 0001.

Best regards,
Henson
