Re: [HACKERS] Pluggable storage - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Also, I appreciate that now tuple_insert() and tuple_update() methods are responsible for inserting index tuples.  This unleash pluggable storages to implement another way of interaction with indexes.  However, I didn't get the point of passing InsertIndexTuples IndexFunc to them.  Now, we're always passing ExecInsertIndexTuples() to this argument.  As I understood storage is free to either call ExecInsertIndexTuples() or implement its own logic of interaction with indexes.  But, I don't understand why do we need a callback when tuple_insert() and tuple_update() can call ExecInsertIndexTuples() directly if needed.  Another thing is that tuple_delete() could also interact with indexes (especially when we will enhance index access method API), and we need to pass meta-information about indexes to tuple_delete() too.
