Hi,

I'm bumping this thread on pgsql-hacker, hopefully it will drag some more
opinions/discussions.

Should we try to fix this issue or not? This is clearly an upstream bug. It has
been reported, including regression tests, but this doesn't move since 2 years
now.

If we choose not to fix it on our side using eg a workaround (see patch), I
suppose this small bug should be documented somewhere so people are not lost
alone in the wild.

Opinions?

Regards,

Please, find in attachment the second version of the patch, with a
regression test.

Subject: [PATCH] Replace buggy ucol_strcoll* funcs with ucol_strcollIter

Functions ucol_strcoll and ucol_strcollUTF8 are breaking some collation rules.
This leads to wrong sort order or wrong result from index using such
collations. See bug report #15285 for details:
http://postgr.es/m/153201618542.1404.3611626898935613264%40wrigleys.postgresql.org

This fix replace ucol_strcoll* functions with ucol_strcollIter() which is not
affected by this bug.
