Change the implementation of hash join to attempt to avoid unnecessary
work if either of the join relations are empty. The logic is:
(1) if the inner relation's startup cost is less than the outer
relation's startup cost and this is not an outer join, read
a single tuple from the inner relation via ExecHash()
- if NULL, we're done
(2) read a single tuple from the outer relation
- if NULL, we're done
(3) build the hash table on the inner relation
- if hash table is empty and this is not an outer join,
we're done
(4) otherwise, do hash join as usual
The implementation uses the new MultiExecProcNode API, per a
suggestion from Tom: invoking ExecHash() now produces the first
tuple from the Hash node's child node, whereas MultiExecHash()
builds the hash table.
I had to put in a bit of a kludge to get the row count returned
for EXPLAIN ANALYZE to be correct: since ExecHash() is invoked to
return a tuple, and then MultiExecHash() is invoked, we would
return one too many tuples to EXPLAIN ANALYZE. I hacked around
this by just manually detecting this situation and subtracting 1
from the EXPLAIN ANALYZE row count.
