Yes, there was. I very nearly came down on the side of making jsonb_hash_ops the default, but given that it doesn't make all operators indexable, I ultimately decided against supporting that course of action. I thought that that would be an odd limitation for the default GIN opclass to have. It was a very close call in my mind, and if you favor changing the default now, in light of the few complaints we've heard, I think that's a reasonable decision. That said, as I noted in the main -bugs thread, the case presented is fairly atypical. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
