[HACKERS] WAL-support for Pluggable Indexes

2010-02-21 Thread Simon Riggs
We've just rejected Knn-gist indexes as "not enough time for 9.0", which is a considerable disappointment for many people. We already have a pluggable index API, but not one that supports recoverability. It is a simple patch to add recoverability to the index API, if we have the will to do so.
