Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Remove the GUC stats_temp_directory
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 14:42:12 +0900
The guc used to specifie the directory to store temporary statistics
files. It is no longer needed by the stats collector but still used by
the programs in bin and contirb, and maybe other extensions. Thus this
patch removes the GUC but some backing variables and macro definitions
are left alone for backward comptibility.
