This can cause very unpleasant fails like
postgres=# create table y as select cube(array(SELECT random() as a FROM generate_series(1,1000))) from
generate_series(1,1e3,1);
SELECT 1000
postgres=# create index on y using gist(cube );
ERROR: index row size 8016 exceeds maximum 8152 for index "y_cube_idx"
postgres=# create table y as select cube(array(SELECT random() as a FROM generate_series(1,800))) from
generate_series(1,1e3,1);
SELECT 1000
postgres=# create index on y using gist(cube );
ERROR: failed to add item to index page in "y_cube_idx"
I belive cube construction from array\arrays should check size of arrays.
Also there are some unexpected cube dimensionality reduction like in cube_enlarge
if (n > CUBE_MAX_DIM)
n = CUBE_MAX_DIM;
You wanted larger cube, but got cube of another dimension.
I think we should something like this
diff --git a/contrib/cube/cube.c b/contrib/cube/cube.c
index dfa8465d74..38739b1df2 100644
