Hmm. It's no more desirable to have an Append inside of another
Append with partitionwise join than it is in general. If we've got A
partitioned into A1, A2, A3 and similarly B partitioned into B1, B2,
and B3, and then A1 and B1 are further partitioned into A1a, A1b, B1a,
B1b, then a partitionwise join between the tables ought to end up
looking like this:
Append
-> Join (A1a, B1a)
-> Join (A1b, B1b)
-> Join (A2, B2)
-> Join (A3, B3)
So here we don't actually end up with an append-path for A1-B1 here
anywhere. But you might need that in more complex cases, I guess,
because suppose you now join this to C with partitions C1, C2, C3; but
C1 is not sub-partitioned. Then you might end up with a plan like:
Append
-> Join
-> Append
-> Join (A1a, B1a)
-> Join (A1b, B1b)
-> Scan C1
-> Join ((A2, B2), C2)
-> Join ((A3, B3), C3)
So maybe you're right.
