Hi All,

I was comparing postgresql performance and was just curious about
performance in case i want to store the updated index tuple version on a
different page.
I was looking into the code of heapam.c, but was not able to find loop
which i should remove so that postgresql use a different buffer for updated
index tuple version.

Did you mean to:

1. Force the old and new tuple to always be stored on different pages?

Hack heap_update so that it chooses a new page. I think you'll also need to hack RelationGetBufferForTuple to not return the same buffer.

2. Disable the HOT optimization, so that HOT is not used even if the old and new tuple are stored on the same page?

In heap_update, force satisfies_hot variable to false.

3. Allow HOT to be used even though the old and new tuple are stored on different pages?

This is not feasible..
