Re: [HACKERS] GSoC 2017: weekly progress reports (week 4) and patchfor hash index

My thought experiments about pseudo-pages and avoiding the split stuff
were not intended to get the patch kicked out.  I thought for a while
that hash indexes were a special case and could benefit from
dispensing with those trickier problems.  Upon further reflection, for
interesting size hash indexes pure hash value predicate tags wouldn't
be much better.  Furthermore, if we do decide we want to use using x %
max_predicate_locks_per_relation to avoid having to escalate to
relation predicate locks at the cost of slightly higher collision rate
then we should consider that for the whole system (including heap page
predicate locking), not just hash indexes.  Please consider those
ideas parked for now.
