Re: [Proposal] Global temporary tables

In the previous communication

1 we agreed on the general direction
1.1 gtt use local (private) buffer
1.2 no replica access in first version

2 We feel that gtt needs to maintain statistics, but there is no agreement on what it will be done.

3 Still no one commented on GTT's transaction information processing, they include
3.1 Should gtt's frozenxid need to be care?
3.2 gtt’s clog clean
3.3 How to deal with "too old" gtt data

I suggest we discuss further, reach an agreement, and merge the two patches to one.
