Thread: pgsql: Fix handling of NULL distances in KNN-GiST
Fix handling of NULL distances in KNN-GiST In order to implement NULL LAST semantic GiST previously assumed distance to the NULL value to be Inf. However, our distance functions can return Inf and NaN for non-null values. In such cases, NULL LAST semantic appears to be broken. This commit fixes that by introducing separate array of null flags for distances. Backpatch to all supported versions.
