[GENERAL] Index-only scan on GIN index for COUNT() queries - Mailing list pgsql-general

hi,

We have a GIN index on jsonb_col. We always get Bitmap Index Scan +
Bitmap Heap Scan when we do things like

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable WHERE jsonb_col ? 'key1'

Theoretically, could support be added for Index-only scans on GIN
indexes when only a COUNT() is requested?

Thanks,
Seamus

PS. Here is the real query analyze:
