Sorry, I thought I remembered a few other comments but couldn't find
them in the archives. I must be mistaken.

The thing I was complaining about in the referenced message is specific
to the inet opclass; it's unfair to make it sound like it's a generic
problem with btree_gist.  And no, it's not been fixed AFAIK.

[HACKERS] btree gist known problems

2011-11-06 Thread Jeff Davis
I'm looking for known problem areas in btree_gist. I see:

http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/8973.1286841...@sss.pgh.pa.us

With Range Types, I'm anticipating that btree_gist will become more
important, so I'd like to know what bugs are holding it back.

So, anything else come to mind? Or does btree_gist just need a good
review? Or have the problems been fixed?

Regards,
Jeff Davis
