Hi All,

I was reading about parallel queries in postgresql 10.

I came across the property max_parallel_workers_per_gather. It sets the maximum number of workers that can be started by a single Gather or Gather Merge node. 

I am not able to understand gather and gather merge node. 

What is the difference between max_parallel_workers_per_gather and max_parallel_processes. What is meant by gather node.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Krithika
