I have following questions related to the functionality. (Please point
me to the relevant discussion if this has been already discussed.)
1. When a backend is running nested queries, we will see the plan of
the innermost query. That query may not be the actual culprit if the
user query is running slowly. E.g a query being run as part of inner
side nested loop when the nested loop itself is the bottleneck. I
think it will be useful to print plans of all the whole query stack.
2. When a query is running in parallel worker do we want to print that
query? It may or may not be interesting given the situation. If the
overall plan itself is faulty, output of the parallel worker query is
not useful. If the plan is fine but a given worker's leg is running
slowly it may be interesting.
As a side note, you may want to fix the indentation in
ExplainAssembleLogOutput().
