PFA v8: at the beginning of physical scan I grab GetInsertRecPtr() and if leaf page have rightlink lefter in file and NSN higher than LSN of start we get back to scan that page one more time. This is recursive. I'm still not very comfortable with storing deletion xid in opaque data: we reuse rightlink field under very specific conditions instead of using totally unused pd_prune_xid. We have a remark in bufpage.h * pd_prune_xid is a hint field that helps determine whether pruning will be * useful. It is currently unused in index pages. Or may be we should use some other place on those empty 8Kb page. Deleted page do not have rightlink now, but in B-trees rightlink on deleted pages is actively used. We either cannot reuse NSN: rightlink is useless without NSN anyway. We cannot reuse flags, page is deleted in flags after all. uint16 gist_page_id is just not enough. Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
