Alexander Korotkov f1ea98a797 Reduce non-leaf keys overlap in GiST indexes produced by a sorted build
The GiST sorted build currently chooses split points according to the only page
space utilization.  That may lead to higher non-leaf keys overlap and, in turn,
slower search query answers.

This commit makes the sorted build use the opclass's picksplit method.  Once
four pages at the level are accumulated, the picksplit method is applied until
each split partition fits the page.  Some of our split algorithms could show
significant performance degradation while processing 4-times more data at once.
But those opclasses haven't received the sorted build support and shouldn't
receive it before their split algorithms are improved.

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/.
