Feature Request: check version mismatch

[jw1u1]

Hi Keith,

some partman functions like run_maintenance silently do nothing, if the loaded shared_preload_library is a newer version than the currently installed version in the database.
I would be helpful to have clear error messages in this case.

Rgds, Jens

Just to clarify, was there an issue with the library version mismatch? I'd responded to the other issue that it may have been that there was no new data that was causing nothing to happen. Was that the case for you as well?

We have infinite_time_partition set to true and after restarting postgres it worked as expected, so i guess it has nothing to do with no new data.

Going to re-open this one to investigate in the future.
Not sure I can get the plpgsql function to throw a mismatch error, but I think I can get the library to throw and error in the logs if there's not a minimum version of the extension installed in the database
