Bug reference: 16840
Logged by: Michał Albrycht
Email address: michalalbrycht(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 13.1
Operating system: Ubuntu 18
Description:

Lets create a table partitioned by hash:

CREATE TABLE dir (
id SERIAL,
volume_id BIGINT,
path TEXT
) PARTITION BY HASH (volume_id);

Now let's create just one partition:

CREATE TABLE dir_part_2 PARTITION OF dir FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 3,
remainder 2);

Insert sample value:

INSERT INTO dir (volume_id, path) VALUES
(1, 'abc'),
(1, 'def'),
(1, 'ghi');

Queries to verify db state:
SELECT * FROM dir WHERE volume_id=1 AND path='abc'; -- returns 1 row - OK
SELECT * FROM dir WHERE volume_id=1 AND (path='abc' OR path='def') --
returns 0 rows - NOT OK!
SELECT * FROM dir_part_2 WHERE volume_id=1 AND (path='abc' or path='def') --
returns 2 rows - OK

Now lets add missing partitions:
CREATE TABLE dir_part_0 PARTITION OF dir FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 3,
remainder 0);
CREATE TABLE dir_part_1 PARTITION OF dir FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 3,
remainder 1);

And run problematic query one more time:
SELECT * FROM dir WHERE volume_id=1 AND (path='abc' OR path='def') --
returns 2 rows - OK

So Postgres silently fails to find a rows, and does not throw any error when
not all hash partitions are present.
