Commits

  1. Pass DSA_ALLOC_HUGE when allocating a shared TIDBitmap.

  2. Support parallel bitmap heap scans.

  3. tidbitmap: Support shared iteration.

  4. Shut down Gather's children before shutting down Gather itself.

  5. Revise the way the element allocator for a simplehash is specified.

  6. Refactor bitmap heap scan estimation of heap pages fetched.

  7. Use more efficient hashtable for tidbitmap.c to speed up bitmap scans.
