FDW's join pushing down is one of the valuable use-cases of this interface, but not all. As you might know, my motivation is to implement GPU acceleration feature on top of this interface, that offers alternative way to scan or join relations or potentially sort or aggregate.
I haven't seen a specific proposal about how much functionality should be encapsulated by a pluggable storage system. But I wonder if that would be the best place for specialized table-scan code to end up?
