Implement partition-wise grouping/aggregation.
If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single partition. This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each partition. This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal approach. If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize aggregation after appending the partial results. This is less certain to be a win, but it's still useful. Jeevan Chalke, Ashutosh Bapat, Robert Haas. The larger patch series of which this patch is a part was also reviewed and tested by Antonin Houska, Rajkumar Raghuwanshi, David Rowley, Dilip Kumar, Konstantin Knizhnik, Pascal Legrand, and Rafia Sabih.
