Thanks for providing the details.

Thanks for the details. I checked the code also.
By the way, I tested the patch with by DML support for parallel patch to
check the returning of clause of insert, and all the returning clause init
plans
are parallel plans with this patch.

Thanks for the updated patch. I have some comments and I am yet to finish
the review.

The above part of the code is almost same in mutiple places, is it possible
to change to function?
+ node->initParam = NULL;
This new parameter is set to NULL in make_gather function, the same
parameter
is added to GatherMerge structure also, but anyway this parameter is set to
NULL
makeNode macro, why only setting it to here, but not the other place.
Do we need to set it to default value such as NULL or false if it is
already the same value?
This is not related to the above parameter, for all existing parameters
also.
+ if (IsA(plan, Gather))
+ ((Gather *) plan)->initParam = bms_intersect(plan->lefttree->extParam,
initSetParam);
+ else if (IsA(plan, GatherMerge))
+ ((GatherMerge *) plan)->initParam =
bms_intersect(plan->lefttree->extParam, initSetParam);
+ else
+ elog(ERROR, "unrecognized node type: %d", nodeTag(plan));
The else case is not possible, because it is already validated for Gather
or GatherMerge.
Can we change it simple if and else?
