Change logs

External toast in CBDB have the fixed structure, the vartag_external used to tell which way to detoast it.

If you want to add an external toast implementation in the extension without changing the kernel, then you need to add a new tag in vartag_external.

The current change defines an extension generic tag which named VARTAG_CUSTOM, this kind of tag is not used in the kernel, which means that the datum returned from the extension should not be a toast with this kind of tag. This tag is only used within the extension.

Why are the changes needed?

nope

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

nope

How was this patch tested?

nope
