David Rowley 66c0185a3d Allow planner to use Merge Append to efficiently implement UNION ... Until now, UNION queries have often been suboptimal as the planner has only ever considered using an Append node and making the results unique by either using a Hash Aggregate, or by Sorting the entire Append result and running it through the Unique operator. Both of these methods always require reading all rows from the union subqueries. Here we adjust the union planner so that it can request that each subquery produce results in target list order so that these can be Merge Appended together and made unique with a Unique node. This can improve performance significantly as the union child can make use of the likes of btree indexes and/or Merge Joins to provide the top-level UNION with presorted input. This is especially good if the top-level UNION contains a LIMIT node that limits the output rows to a small subset of the unioned rows as cheap startup plans can be used.
