Yes. If it matters, this happened during reparametrization when 2
partitioned tables with 1000 partitions each were joined. Then
asymmetric pw join managed to eat lots of memory for bitmapsets (by
lots of memory I mean all available on the test VM).
By reparametrization did you mean the work done in
reparameterize_path_by_child()? If so maybe you'd be interested in the
patch [1] which postpones reparameterization of paths until createplan.c
and thus can help avoid unnecessary reparametrization work.
Yeah, I have discovered it already. It is a promising solution and only
needs a bit more review. But here, I embraced some corner cases with the
idea that we may not see other cases right now. And also, sometimes the
Bitmapset field is significant - it is not a corner case.
