Обсуждение: CopyFrom() has become way too complicated

Hi,

I've had to whack CopyFrom() around a couple times due to the pluggable
storage patch, and I found that after

    Allow multi-inserts during COPY into a partitioned table

and also the previous partition support changes, the CopyFrom() code
has, for me at least, become very hard to follow.

I think the code needs to be split up so that CopyFrom() in the loop
body calls CopyFromOneTuple(), which then also splits out the tuple
routing into its own CopyFromOneTupleRoute() function (that's 200 LOC on
its own...). I suspect it'd also be good to refactor the
partition-change code out into its own function.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
