rom the readme of contrib/intarray/README.intarray
This is an implementation of RD-tree data structure using GiST interface
of PostgreSQL. It has built-in lossy compression - must be declared
in index creation - with (islossy). Current implementation provides
index
support for one-dimensional array of int4's - gist__int_ops, suitable
for
small and medium size of arrays (used on default), and gist__intbig_ops
for
indexing large arrays (we use superimposed signature with length of 4096
bits to represent sets).
