Tom Lane 12e611d43e Rename jsonb_hash_ops to jsonb_path_ops. There's no longer much pressure to switch the default GIN opclass for jsonb, but there was still some unhappiness with the name "jsonb_hash_ops", since hashing is no longer a distinguishing property of that opclass, and anyway it seems like a relatively minor detail. At the suggestion of Heikki Linnakangas, we'll use "jsonb_path_ops" instead; that captures the important characteristic that each index entry depends on the entire path from the document root to the indexed value. Also add a user-facing explanation of the implementation properties of these two opclasses.	12 years ago

Tom Lane 12e611d43e Rename jsonb_hash_ops to jsonb_path_ops.

There's no longer much pressure to switch the default GIN opclass for
jsonb, but there was still some unhappiness with the name "jsonb_hash_ops",
since hashing is no longer a distinguishing property of that opclass,
and anyway it seems like a relatively minor detail.  At the suggestion of
Heikki Linnakangas, we'll use "jsonb_path_ops" instead; that captures the
important characteristic that each index entry depends on the entire path
from the document root to the indexed value.

Also add a user-facing explanation of the implementation properties of
these two opclasses.
