Thanks for the proposal. This is actually a model that's been around for a
very long time. And, in fact, variations of it (e.g. parsing done in one
place and generated plan fragments shipped to remote execution nodes where
the data resides) are already used by things like Postgres-XL. There have
also been a number of academic implementations where parsing is done
locally and raw parse trees are sent to the server as well. While these
things do reduce CPU, there are a number of negative aspects to deal with
that make such an architecture more difficult to manage.
