The point is that the patch Jeevan wanted to work on is actually a subset of
[1] combined with [2].

parallel_aware field was set mistakenly on the AggPath. Fixed patch is
attached below, producing this plan:

QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------
Finalize HashAggregate
Group Key: b_1.j
-> Append
-> Partial HashAggregate
Group Key: b_1.j
-> Hash Join
Hash Cond: (b_1.j = c_1.k)
-> Seq Scan on b_1
-> Hash
-> Seq Scan on c_1
-> Partial HashAggregate
Group Key: b_2.j
-> Hash Join
Hash Cond: (b_2.j = c_2.k)
-> Seq Scan on b_2
-> Hash
-> Seq Scan on c_2
