Commit 86dc90056 expects that FDWs can cope with whole-row Vars for their tables, even if the Vars are marked with vartype RECORDOID. Previously, whole-row Vars generated by the planner had vartype equal to the relevant table's rowtype OID. (The point behind this change is to enable sharing of resjunk columns across inheritance child tables.) It turns out that postgres_fdw fails to cope with this, though through bad fortune none of its test cases exposed that. Things mostly work, but when we try to read back a value of such a Var, the expected rowtype is not available to record_in(). Fortunately, it's not difficult to hack up the tupdesc that controls this process to substitute the foreign table's rowtype for RECORDOID. Thus we can solve the runtime problem while still sharing the resjunk column with other tables. Per report from Alexander Pyhalov.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
