Oleg,
I am running the latest 8.2.4. I am using GIN. The data is static. I do
a batch upload every week of about 500GB and the ata is never touched
again, it is always add and never delete or update.
From your slides you state:
GIN_FUZZY_SEARCH_LIMIT - maximum number of
returned rows
GIN_FUZZY_SEARCH_LIMIT=0, disabled on
default
When I do a search with say LIMIT 100 isn't this essentially the same thing?
