We can index multiple scalar values per row with GIN access method,
and also can index single vector value per row with GiST AM.
Is it worth having a new AM to index multiple vector values per row?
It will be an AM for the missing feature in below:
| scalar | vector |
----------------+--------+--------+
single per row | btree | gist |
multi per row | gin | *HERE* |
We can call the new AM "gigist". Or, there might be another idea
to support expression indexes for SRF functions, like
=# CREATE TABLE tbl (c circle[]);
=# CREATE INDEX ON tbl USING gist (unnest(c));
Comments and ideas welcome.
