Empty partial_pathlist when unsetting consider_parallel flag It's not valid for a RelOptInfo to have a non-empty partial_pathlist when its consider_parallel is true. In set_append_rel_pathlist() when we see the parent rel doesn't have consider_parallel set, we set that property to false for the child. It is possible that the child already has some partial paths at that point, so we need to nullify that list as well as set the consider_parallel flag to false.
For the reported problem case, the partial paths had been created during set_subquery_pathlist(). These not being empty was causing an Assert failure on cassert builds. I think this could only have gone on to result in some wasted planner effort in non-cassert builds, but cannot confirm if anything worse could have happened.
