/*
 *	 NOTES
 *		This used to be three files.  It is now all combined into
 *		one file so that it is easier to keep the dispatch routines
 *		in sync when new nodes are added.
 *
 *	 EXAMPLE
 *		Suppose we want the age of the manager of the shoe department and
 *		the number of employees in that department.  So we have the query:
 *
 *				select DEPT.no_emps, EMP.age
 *				from DEPT, EMP
 *				where EMP.name = DEPT.mgr and
 *					  DEPT.name = "shoe"
 *
 *		Suppose the planner gives us the following plan:
 *
 *						Nest Loop (DEPT.mgr = EMP.name)
 *						/		\
 *					   /		 \
 *				   Seq Scan		Seq Scan
 *					DEPT		  EMP
 *				(name = "shoe")
 *
 *		ExecutorStart() is called first.
 *		It calls InitPlan() which calls ExecInitNode() on
 *		the root of the plan -- the nest loop node.
 *
 *	  * ExecInitNode() notices that it is looking at a nest loop and
 *		as the code below demonstrates, it calls ExecInitNestLoop().
 *		Eventually this calls ExecInitNode() on the right and left subplans
 *		and so forth until the entire plan is initialized.  The result
 *		of ExecInitNode() is a plan state tree built with the same structure
 *		as the underlying plan tree.
 *
 *	  * Then when ExecutorRun() is called, it calls ExecutePlan() which calls
 *		ExecProcNode() repeatedly on the top node of the plan state tree.
 *		Each time this happens, ExecProcNode() will end up calling
 *		ExecNestLoop(), which calls ExecProcNode() on its subplans.
 *		Each of these subplans is a sequential scan so ExecSeqScan() is
 *		called.  The slots returned by ExecSeqScan() may contain
 *		tuples which contain the attributes ExecNestLoop() uses to
 *		form the tuples it returns.
 *
 *	  * Eventually ExecSeqScan() stops returning tuples and the nest
 *		loop join ends.  Lastly, ExecutorEnd() calls ExecEndNode() which
 *		calls ExecEndNestLoop() which in turn calls ExecEndNode() on
 *		its subplans which result in ExecEndSeqScan().
 *
 *		This should show how the executor works by having
 *		ExecInitNode(), ExecProcNode() and ExecEndNode() dispatch
 *		their work to the appropriate node support routines which may
 *		in turn call these routines themselves on their subplans.
