From ef4180ffcaea44054d5b4894240be804c3970c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ashu <ashutosh1...@example.com> Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 16:22:19 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Remove redundant hash function _hash_step and do some code cleanup. Remove redundant function _hash_step() and some of the unused members of HashScanOpaqueData. The function _hash_step() used to find the next qualifing tuple in the index page is no more required as new hash index works page at a time which means it reads all the qualifing tuples in a page at once with the help of _hash_readpage().
