[PATCH] Make ExplainOpenGroup()/ExplainCloseGroup() available for extensions.
Started by Hadi Moshayedialmost 9 years ago1 messageshackers
Hello Hackers,
The attached patch moves declarations of
ExplainOpenGroup()/ExplainCloseGroup() from explain.c to explain.h.
This can be useful for extensions that need explain groups in their
custom-scan explain output.
For example, Citus uses groups in its custom explain outputs [1]https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/master/src/backend/ distributed/planner/multi_explain.c. But it
achieves it by having a copy of ExplainOpenGroup()/ExplainCloseGroup() in
its source code, which is not the best way.
Please review.

Thanks,
Hadi
