Hi Tomas,

This time I only looked at the cumulative changes in the multiminmax
opclass, since I'm pretty sure all the bloom issues have been addressed.

 * XXX CombineRange name seems a bit weird. Consider renaming, perhaps to
 * something ExpandedRange or so.

The time to do it is now, if you like, or remove the XXX. I agree with the
comment, FWIW.

In has_matching_range():

 * So we know it's in the general min/max, the question is whether it
 * falls in one of the ranges or gaps. We'll use a binary search on
 * the ranges.
 *
 * it's in the general range, but is it actually covered by any
 * of the ranges? Repeat the check for each range.
 *
 * XXX We simply walk the ranges sequentially, but maybe we could
 * further leverage the ordering and non-overlap and use bsearch to
 * speed this up a bit.

It looks to me like you already implemented binary search and the last part
is out of date, or am I missing something?

Same in range_contains_value():

 * XXX This might benefit from the fact that both the intervals and exact
 * values are sorted - we might do bsearch or something. Currently that
 * does not make much difference (there are only ~32 intervals), but if
 * this gets increased and/or the comparator function is more expensive,
 * it might be a huge win.

Below that it does binary search if the number of elements > 16.

In merge_combine_ranges():

There are a couple assert-related TODOs.

In brin_minmax_multi_distance_timetz():

 * XXX Does this need to consider the time zones?

I wouldn't think so, because the stored values are in UTC -- the time zone
calculation only happens during storage and retrieval, and they've already
been stored, IIUC.

Also, I think you need to copy this part from
brin_minmax_multi_distance_timestamp() here as well:

if (TIMESTAMP_NOT_FINITE(dt1) || TIMESTAMP_NOT_FINITE(dt2))
PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(0);


At this point, I think it's pretty close to commit-ready. I thought maybe I
would create a small index with every type, and make sure it looks sane in
page_inspect, but that's about it.
