It seems natural that you can also figure out where an element ends given its start and knowledge about tuple internals. Also for varlen elements the size information must be present in any case. In principle this method could be defined to return valid data only for varlens while for fixed-size elements it could be allowed to throw. This method might be needed for: 1. schema-less copying of individual columns to other tuples (e.g. by SQL-engine when doing projections, etc); 2. cheap calculation of hash value for a VARBINARY element, etc. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
