Thread: Re: [WIP]Vertical Clustered Index (columnar store extension) - take2

Hi Peter,
I've noticed there are changes in Postgres code v4 patch that rollback
the commit [1]. That commit optimizes TupleHashEntryData struct size
and amount of memory allocations which improves performance (see
discussion [2]).
Can we use leave TupleHashEntryData as is and make new VCI-specific
struct that contains TupleHashEntryData member and an additional
pointer or make VCI use TupleHashEntryGetAdditional()?
