The "actual rows" count on a Hash node is always 0, because we don't
retrieve rows from it in the normal way (ie via ExecProcNode). The
actual row count from the child plan node (here, the 499 for the
seqscan) tells you how many rows got loaded into the hashtable.
I've occasionally thought about putting in some kind of kluge to set the
"actual rows" count to the hash table size, just because it looks funny
to have zero there. But it hasn't got to the top of the to-do list ...
