Understood.

- errmsg("modulus for hash partition must be a positive integer")));
+ errmsg("modulus for hash partition must be an integer greater than zero")));

"an integer greater" should be "an integer value greater" because
we use that words in other similar log messages like "modulus for
hash partition must be an integer value greater than zero"
in src/backend/partitioning/partbounds.c?

I'm thinking to back-patch this to v11 where hash partitioning
was supported. On the other hand, the following change should
be back-patched to all supported versions.

- errmsg("distance in phrase operator should not be greater than %d",
+ errmsg("distance in phrase operator must be an integer value between zero and %d inclusive",
