Problem description

Environment:

• postgres 11
• pathman 1.5.8
• postgis 2.5.2

SQL Statement

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION utmzone(geometry)
  RETURNS integer AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
    geomgeog geometry;
    zone int;
    pref int;

BEGIN
    geomgeog:= ST_Transform($1,4326);

    IF (ST_Y(geomgeog))>0 THEN
       pref:=32600;
    ELSE
       pref:=32700;
    END IF;

    zone:=floor((ST_X(geomgeog)+180)/6)+1;
    IF ( zone > 60 ) THEN zone := 60; END IF;

    RETURN zone+pref;
END;
$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE
  COST 100;

INSERT INTO utm_dots SELECT geography(ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(i,j),4326)) As the_geog, utmzone(ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(i,j),4326)) As utm_srid FROM generate_series(-179,179,0.1) As i CROSS JOIN generate_series(-89,89,0.1) As j;

CREATE TABLE utm_dots ( the_geog geography, utm_srid integer);

SELECT '#304.a', Count(*) FROM utm_dots WHERE ST_DWithin(the_geog, 'POINT(0 0)'::geography, 3000000);

Errors（important! with postgres parallel query）

When we execute statement above in parallel query model (set force_parallel_mode TO on), the following error always occure:

cannot update SecondarySnapshot during a parallel operation

Why?

The sql statement above uses the datatype "geography", actually, it will call a new sql statment " select xxx from spatial_ref_sys" internal by spi_exec, call stack:

• Statement 1: SELECT '#304.a', Count(*) FROM utm_dots WHERE ST_DWithin(the_geog, 'POINT(0 0)'::geography, 3000000); (leader progress)
  • SubStatement 2: SELECT proj4text FROM spatial_ref_sys WHERE srid = %d LIMIT 1 (new spi_connect/spi_execute, worker progress)

That's ok without postgres parallel query. But in parallel query model, the Statement 1 is planned and executed in leader progress, the SubStatement 2 is executed only in workers progress(not leader progress).
In pg_pathman, it uses GetLatestSnapshot() for pathman_config_contains_relation() and errors occur. I think this is the problem, can GetCatalogSnapshot replace GetLatestSnapshot？
