sb_parallel
When you use a custom C in multi thread context, you might need each thread to treat a given subset of the data
This is possible in SB, and this is called "sb_parallel mode"
If a where clause use sb_parallel lua function then the "sb_parallel mode" is triggered
For instance here under we want each thread to treat data of a single item_id, hence the sb_parallel(item_id) where clause
In some cases "sb_parallel mode" is replaced by a "mono thread mode"
This happens when pareto in used or when the index of the sb_parallel column cannot be used
