Previously, Append didn't charge anything at all, and MergeAppend charged only cpu_operator_cost, about half the value used here. This change might make MergeAppend plans slightly more likely to be chosen than before, since this commit increases the assumed cost for Append -- with default values -- by 0.005 per tuple but MergeAppend by only 0.0025 per tuple. Since the comparisons required by MergeAppend are costed separately, it's not clear why MergeAppend needs to be otherwise more expensive than Append, so hopefully this is OK. Prior to partition-wise join, it didn't really matter whether or not an Append node had any cost of its own, because every plan had to use the same number of Append or MergeAppend nodes and in the same places. Only the relative cost of Append vs. MergeAppend made a difference. Now, however, it is possible to avoid some of the Append nodes using a partition-wise join, so it's worth making an effort. Pending patches for partition-wise aggregate care too, because an Append of Aggregate nodes will incur the Append overhead fewer times than an Aggregate over an Append. Although in most cases this change will favor the use of partition-wise techniques, it does the opposite when the join cardinality is greater than the sum of the input cardinalities. Since this situation arises in an existing regression test, I [rhaas] adjusted it to keep the overall plan shape approximately the same. Jeevan Chalke, per a suggestion from David Rowley.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
