file外部表--有更新版本！
如果不想要gpfdist来当做服务器，还有一种简单的方式-file，直接基于文件路径的方式。
[gpadmin@d1 ~]$ cat nohup.out

gtlions=# create external table e_file1(txt text) location ('file://d1:5432/home/gpadmin/nohup.out') format 'text' (delimiter 'off'); CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE
gtlions=# select * from e_file1; ERROR: Could not assign a segment database for "file://d1-1:5432/home/gpadmin/nohup.out3". There are more external files than primary segment databases on host "d1-1"
提示说超过的文件数的限制，这个限制参数在视图中可以查询得到：
gtlions=# select * from pg_max_external_files;
hostname | maxfiles
----------+----------
d3-1 | 3
d4-1 | 3
d1-1 | 3
d1-2 | 3
d3-2 | 3
d2-2 | 3
d2-1 | 3
d4-2 | 3
(8 rows)
被限制到3个了，暂时没找到在什么地方可以修改这个数量限制。
还有一个视图gp_segment_configuration可以查看seg的name
