* Adjust nodeBitmapIndexscan.c to not keep the index open across calls,Tom Lane2005-04-24
| | | | | | | | but just to open and close it during MultiExecBitmapIndexScan. This avoids acquiring duplicate resources (eg, multiple locks on the same relation) in a tree with many bitmap scans. Also, don't bother to lock the parent heap at all here, since we must be underneath a BitmapHeapScan node that will be holding a suitable lock.
* Actually, nodeBitmapIndexscan.c doesn't need to create a standardTom Lane2005-04-24

* Remove explicit FreeExprContext calls during plan node shutdown. TheTom Lane2005-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | ExprContexts will be freed anyway when FreeExecutorState() is reached, and letting that routine do the work is more efficient because it will automatically free the ExprContexts in reverse creation order. The existing coding was effectively freeing them in exactly the worst possible order, resulting in O(N^2) behavior inside list_delete_ptr, which becomes highly visible in cases with a few thousand plan nodes. ExecFreeExprContext is now effectively a no-op and could be removed, but I left it in place in case we ever want to put it back to use.
* First cut at planner support for bitmap index scans. Lots to do yet,Tom Lane2005-04-22
| | | | | | | | but the code is basically working. Along the way, rewrite the entire approach to processing OR index conditions, and make it work in join cases for the first time ever. orindxpath.c is now basically obsolete, but I left it in for the time being to allow easy comparison testing against the old implementation.
* Minor performance improvement: avoid unnecessary creation/unioning ofTom Lane2005-04-20

scans, using in-memory tuple ID bitmaps as the intermediary. The planner frontend (path creation and cost estimation) is not there yet, so none of this code can be executed. I have tested it using some hacked planner code that is far too ugly to see the light of day, however. Committing now so that the bulk of the infrastructure changes go in before the tree drifts under me.
