Note that this in itself is not a feature but part of the infrastructure for developing parallel execution nodes (for an example, you could take a look at parallel seq scan under development[1])
Thanks for the reply. Then, my question becomes as follows: Is there a way for basic PostgreSQL users (as me) benefit from this (yet)? I don't want to dive into any codes :)
It's a framework for future functionality. End-users won't be touching it for some time I expect. The best thing about psql is their careful, iterative engineering.

Does anyone know how this stacks up against CitusDB?
Is the target for Postgres to natively do what CitusDB does right now?
EDIT: [1] is a huge discussion, by the way.

Back in 2013, I wrote this blog post [1], it's getting closer, but I should probably change the title to "Will PostgreSQL 9.6 Bring Back Moore’s Law?"
