| * Framework for accelerated sorting. |
| * |
| * Traditionally, PostgreSQL has implemented sorting by repeatedly invoking |
| * an SQL-callable comparison function "cmp(x, y) returns int" on pairs of |
| * values to be compared, where the comparison function is the BTORDER_PROC |
| * pg_amproc support function of the appropriate btree index opclass. |
| * |
| * This file defines alternative APIs that allow sorting to be performed with |
| * reduced overhead. To support lower-overhead sorting, a btree opclass may |
| * provide a BTSORTSUPPORT_PROC pg_amproc entry, which must take a single |
| * argument of type internal and return void. The argument is actually a |
| * pointer to a SortSupportData struct, which is defined below. |
| * |
| * If provided, the BTSORTSUPPORT function will be called during sort setup, |
| * and it must initialize the provided struct with pointers to function(s) |
| * that can be called to perform sorting. This API is defined to allow |
| * multiple acceleration mechanisms to be supported, but no opclass is |
| * required to provide all of them. The BTSORTSUPPORT function should |
| * simply not set any function pointers for mechanisms it doesn't support. |
| * Opclasses that provide BTSORTSUPPORT and don't provide a comparator |
| * function will have a shim set up by sort support automatically. However, |
| * opclasses that support the optional additional abbreviated key capability |
| * must always provide an authoritative comparator used to tie-break |
| * inconclusive abbreviated comparisons and also used when aborting |
| * abbreviation. Furthermore, a converter and abort/costing function must be |
| * provided. |
| * |
| * All sort support functions will be passed the address of the |
| * SortSupportData struct when called, so they can use it to store |
| * additional private data as needed. In particular, for collation-aware |
| * datatypes, the ssup_collation field is set before calling BTSORTSUPPORT |
| * and is available to all support functions. Additional opclass-dependent |
| * data can be stored using the ssup_extra field. Any such data |
| * should be allocated in the ssup_cxt memory context. |
| * |
| * Note: since pg_amproc functions are indexed by (lefttype, righttype) |
| * it is possible to associate a BTSORTSUPPORT function with a cross-type |
| * comparison. This could sensibly be used to provide a fast comparator |
| * function for such cases, but probably not any other acceleration method. |

| * All callbacks must be set by sortsupport opclasses that make use of |
| * this optional additional infrastructure (unless for whatever reasons |
| * the opclass doesn't proceed with abbreviation, in which case |
| * abbrev_converter must not be set). |
| * |
| * This allows opclass authors to supply a conversion routine, used to |
| * create an alternative representation of the underlying type (an |
| * "abbreviated key"). This representation must be pass-by-value and |
| * typically will use some ad-hoc format that only the opclass has |
| * knowledge of. An alternative comparator, used only with this |
| * alternative representation must also be provided (which is assigned to |
| * "comparator"). This representation is a simple approximation of the |
| * original Datum. It must be possible to compare datums of this |
| * representation with each other using the supplied alternative |
| * comparator, and have any non-zero return value be a reliable proxy for |
| * what a proper comparison would indicate. Returning zero from the |
| * alternative comparator does not indicate equality, as with a |
| * conventional support routine 1, though -- it indicates that it wasn't |
| * possible to determine how the two abbreviated values compared. A |
| * proper comparison, using "abbrev_full_comparator"/ |
| * ApplySortAbbrevFullComparator() is therefore required. In many cases |
| * this results in most or all comparisons only using the cheap |
| * alternative comparison func, which is typically implemented as code |
| * that compiles to just a few CPU instructions. CPU cache miss penalties |
| * are expensive; to get good overall performance, sort infrastructure |
| * must heavily weigh cache performance. |
| * |
| * Opclass authors must consider the final cardinality of abbreviated keys |
| * when devising an encoding scheme. It's possible for a strategy to work |
| * better than an alternative strategy with one usage pattern, while the |
| * reverse might be true for another usage pattern. All of these factors |
| * must be considered. |

| * attribute key). Note, however, that in order to determine that |
