Tom Lane 42020f5deb Fix normalization of numeric values in JSONB GIN indexes.
The default JSONB GIN opclass (jsonb_ops) converts numeric data values
to strings for storage in the index.  It must ensure that numeric values
that would compare equal (such as 12 and 12.00) produce identical strings,
else index searches would have behavior different from regular JSONB
comparisons.  Unfortunately the function charged with doing this was
completely wrong: it could reduce distinct numeric values to the same
string, or reduce equivalent numeric values to different strings.  The
former type of error would only lead to search inefficiency, but the
latter type of error would cause index entries that should be found by
a search to not be found.

Repairing this bug therefore means that it will be necessary for 9.4 beta
testers to reindex GIN jsonb_ops indexes, if they care about getting
correct results from index searches involving numeric data values within
the comparison JSONB object.

Per report from Thomas Fanghaenel.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
