> Only if this option is true, during query planning, postgres_fdw connects to the remote server and check if the remote server version is older than the local server version. If so, postgres_fdw assumes that for each built-in aggregate function, the partial aggregate function is not defined on the remote server unless the partial aggregate function and the aggregate function match. The default is false.

My point is that there are three behaviors:

*  false - no check
*  true, remote version >= sender - no check
*  true, remove version < sender - check

Here is your code:

	+ * Check that a buit-in aggpartialfunc exists on the remote server. If
	+ * check_partial_aggregate_support is false, we assume the partial aggregate
	+ * function exsits on the remote server. Otherwise we assume the partial
	+ * aggregate function exsits on the remote server only if the remote server
	+ * version is not less than the local server version.
	+ */
	+static bool
	+is_builtin_aggpartialfunc_shippable(Oid aggpartialfn, PgFdwRelationInfo *fpinfo)
	+{
	+       bool            shippable = true;
	+
	+       if (fpinfo->check_partial_aggregate_support)
	+       {
	+               if (fpinfo->remoteversion == 0)
	+               {
	+                       PGconn     *conn = GetConnection(fpinfo->user, false, NULL);
	+
	+                       fpinfo->remoteversion = PQserverVersion(conn);
	+               }
	+               if (fpinfo->remoteversion < PG_VERSION_NUM)
	+                       shippable = false;
	+       }
	+       return shippable;
	+}

I think this needs to be explained in the docs.  I am ready to adjust
the patch to improve the wording whenever you are ready.  Should I do it
now and post an updated version for you to use?

  Only you can decide what is important to you.
