Ok now I got that. Thanks for the clarification.

Last small question:
As of now parallelism in merge append is not supported, but it could 
be something we can consider implementing in the future.

That said, I’m wondering if this might not be necessary, given that 
Gather Merge already accomplishes similar functionality. Would 
love to hear your thoughts on whether there’s a distinct advantage to 
adding parallelism to Merge Append or if Gather Merge sufficiently 
covers all the use cases.
