Right. And I think we also need to hit add_placeholders_to_joinrel.

I think we need to do the same to create_one_window_path. For
intermediate WindowAggPaths, we need to add the WindowFuncs to their
output targets, and that would increase the width of the tlists.
Also, it is possible that there could be tuple-width overflow occurring
within function get_rel_data_width(). The return value of this function
is used to calculate density, or returned by get_relation_data_width().
So I wonder if we could change the return type of get_rel_data_width()
and get_relation_data_width() to be double, and handle the overflow in
the callers if needed. But this may lead to ABI break.

Agreed.

Yeah, I think we should do that.
Attached is an updated patch for all the changes. It also changes the
loop_count parameter to be double for compute_bitmap_pages() in passing.
It does not improve the comments for compute_bitmap_pages() though.
Thanks
