Hi Etsuro, all

The commit[1] seems to break some queries in Citus[2], which is an
extension which relies on set_join_pathlist_hook.

Although the comment says */*Finally, give extensions a chance to
manipulate the path list.*/  *we use it to extract lots of information
about the joins and do the planning based on the information.

Now,  for some joins where consider_join_pushdown=false, we cannot get the
information that we used to get, which prevents doing distributed planning
for certain queries.

We wonder if it is possible to allow extensions to access the join info
under all circumstances, as it used to be? Basically, removing the
additional check:

diff --git a/src/backend/optimizer/path/joinpath.c
b/src/backend/optimizer/path/joinpath.c
index 03b3185984..080e76cbe9 100644

+       if (set_join_pathlist_hook)
                set_join_pathlist_hook(root, joinrel, outerrel, innerrel,
                                                           jointype,
&extra);
 }



Thanks,
Onder
