In this commit, we're introducing a way to prevent CTE inlining via a GUC.
The GUC is used in all the tests where PG 11 and PG 12 tests would diverge
otherwise.
Note that, in PG 12, the restriction information for CTEs are generated. It
means that for some queries involving CTEs, Citus planner (router planner/
pushdown planner) may behave differently. So, via the GUC, we prevent
tests to diverge on PG 11 vs PG 12.
When we drop PG 11 support, we should get rid of the GUC, and mark
relevant ctes as MATERIALIZED, which does the same thing.
We've changed the logic for pulling RTE_RELATIONs in #3109 and
non-colocated subquery joins and partitioned tables.
@onurctirtir found this steps where I traced back and found the issues.
While looking into it in more detail, we decided to expand the list in a
way that the callers get all the relevant RTE_RELATIONs RELKIND_RELATION,
RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE, RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE and RELKIND_MATVIEW.
These are all relation kinds that Citus planner is aware of.
The rule for infinite recursion is the following:
- If the query contains a subquery which is recursively planned, and
no other subqueries can be recursively planned due to correlation
(e.g., LATERAL joins), the planner keeps recursing again and again.
One interesting thing here is that even if a subquery contains only intermediate
result(s), we re-recursively plan that. In the end, the logic in the code does the following:
- Try recursive planning any of the subqueries in the query tree
- If any subquery is recursively planned, call the planner again
where the subquery is replaced with the intermediate result.
- Try recursively planning any of the queries
- If any subquery is recursively planned, call the planner again
where the subquery (in this case it is already intermediate result)
is replaced with the intermediate result.
- Try recursively planning any of the queries
- If any subquery is recursively planned, call the planner again
where the subquery (in this case it is already intermediate result)
is replaced with the intermediate result.
- Try recursively planning any of the queries
- If any subquery is recursively planned, call the planner again
where the subquery (in this case it is already intermediate result)
is replaced with the intermediate result.

With #1804 (and related PRs), Citus gained the ability to
plan subqueries that are not safe to pushdown.
There are two high-level requirements for pushing down subqueries:
* Individual subqueries that require a merge step (i.e., GROUP BY
on non-distribution key, or LIMIT in the subquery etc). We've
handled such subqueries via #1876.
* Combination of subqueries that are not joined on distribution keys.
This commit aims to recursively plan some of such subqueries to make
the whole query safe to pushdown.
The main logic behind non colocated subquery joins is that we pick
an anchor range table entry and check for distribution key equality
of any other subqueries in the given query. If for a given subquery,
we cannot find distribution key equality with the anchor rte, we
recursively plan that subquery.
We also used a hacky solution for picking relations as the anchor range
table entries. The hack is that we wrap them into a subquery. This is only
necessary since some of the attribute equivalance checks are based on
queries rather than range table entries.
