hi,

I am going through the hashjoin algorithm in postgres. I find a function
ExecHashjoin , which is called each time a new tuple is required by the
hash join *Node.*

could someone explain what exactly node mean in postgres.

See src/backend/nodes/. It's a mechanism that imitates class inheritance
in object-oriented languages. Node is the superclass that everything
else inherits from. Every Node type supports some basic operations like
copy, equals and serialization to/from text.
