Hi.
So in general yes. And no.

Yezzey is an Greenplum extension. But it does not builds with gp6/gp7 oss version, because some kernel patches needed.
Some of these patches got merged into opensource gpdb version before its shutdown on may 25 2024. Some was not.

So, we build yezzey along with modified gp 6 version, and we have patches for gp7 and yezzey version for gp7 that works. But im planning to do little refactoring for greenplum 7, to reduce number of kernel changes.

this is my pr for CBDB apache/cloudberry#650, which is like gp8 (build on top of pg14, not pg12)
in few weeks, i plan to provide version of Yezzey extension that will be compatable with cdbd without any additional changes. This work can be transferred to your gp 7.1 oss build, in theory
