I heard of following use-case: data transferring system partition big tables by ctid ranges to mimic parallel secscan, but with many network connections. Some performance improvement was claimed and connection failure resistance (when one connection was broken only one partition is rescanned with same snapshot).
I'm not entirely sure this is a safe approach (I have a gut feeling that tid scan is not MVCC safe). But for retrieving very big tables without strong guarantees this might make some sense.
Would your patch improve performance of such case?
