There is another situation,
We have a demo table with about 17000000 rows, the "select count(1) from
demotable" statement finishes with-in 3 seconds when executed directlly
against the Greenplum database,but it takes about 230 seconds to finish when
executed via postgres_fdw inside PostgreSQL 9.3 beta2, I guess that it may
because of postgres_fdw pulling data to the PostgreSQL instance and counts the
rows there, but I think the query optimizer should pass through the count()
function to the Greenplum end, and gets only the result back.

Greeplum is based on 8.2.15, so we can only use the read-only option.

The postgres_fdw documentation says
postgres_fdw can be used with remote servers dating back to
PostgreSQL 8.3. Read-only capability is available back to 8.1.
I don't recall exactly when Greenplum forked off from Postgres, but
8.1 or so wouldn't surprise me. The quoted error message looks about
like what you'd get when trying to use postgres_fdw with a pre-8.3
remote server.
