From 25dc142a49c60c3107480c487cd8444dc83f9bdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Haas Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 21:15:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid GatherMerge crash when there are no workers. It's unnecessary to return an actual slot when we have no tuple. We can just return NULL, which avoids the risk of indexing into an array that might not contain any elements.
