When calculating distances for timestamp values for BRIN minmax-multi indexes, we need to be careful about overflows for extreme values. If the value overflows into a negative value, the index may be inefficient. The new regression test checks this for the timestamp type by adding a table with enough values to force range compaction/merging. The values are close to min/max, which means a risk of overflow. Fixed by converting the int64 values to double first, before calculating the distance. This prevents the overflow. We may lose some precision, of course, but that's good enough. In the worst case we build a slightly less efficient index, but for large distances this won't matter. This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp columns, with ranges containing values sufficiently distant to cause an overflow. That seems like a fairly rare case in practice. Backpatch to 14, where minmax-multi indexes were introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
