Hello,

 

I've found in source code that there is a function satisfies_hash_partition(oid, modulus, remainder, column_values[]) which allows to check if the certain column value will be placed in the certain partition.

I' d like to know if there is an opportunity not to check the certain partition but to define which partition will be the certain column value placed in. Something like define_hash_partition(oid, column_values[]) which returns the remainder value.

It is not very convenient to use satisfies_hash_partition for this purpose because there could be a lot of partitions and it takes time to check each one of them.

If there isn't such opportunity for now I think it would be useful to have such feature in the next releases. What do you think about it?

 

Thank you!
