I have reviewed part of v15-0001 patch, I have a few comments, I will
continue to review this.

Why is this temporary hack? and what is the plan for removing this hack?

When will this hit? The functtion name suggest that it is from CTAS
but now you have a check that if it is
not for CTAS then return, can you add the comment that when do you
expect this case?
Also the function name should start in a new line
i.e
void
ChooseParallelInsertsInCTAS(IntoClause *into, QueryDesc *queryDesc)
3.
+/*
+ * ChooseParallelInsertsInCTAS --- determine whether or not parallel

Push down to the Gather nodes? I think the right statement will be
push down below the Gather node.
4.

DR_intorel *myState = (DR_intorel *) self;

+ {
+ /* In the worker */
+ SetCurrentCommandIdUsedForWorker();
+ myState->output_cid = GetCurrentCommandId(false);
+ }
+ else
{
non-parallel worker code
}
}
I think instead of moving all the code related to non-parallel worker
in the else we can do better. This
will avoid unnecessary code movement.
4.
intorel_startup(DestReceiver *self, int operation, TupleDesc typeinfo)
{
DR_intorel *myState = (DR_intorel *) self;
-- Comment ->in parallel worker we don't need to crease dest recv blah blah
+ if (myState->is_parallel_worker)
{
--parallel worker handling--
return;
}
--non-parallel worker code stay right there, instead of moving to else

Parallel insert should be selected or not. I think name/comment
should be better for this

Comment is saying we need to pass object id but the code under this

This seems a bit hackies Why it is done after the planning, I mean
plan must know that it is returning a 0 rows?

One blank line between variable declaration and next code segment,
take care at other places as well.
