< * Merge xmin/xmax/cmin/cmax back into three header fields
<
< Before subtransactions, there used to be only three fields needed to
< store these four values. This was possible because only the current
< transaction looks at the cmin/cmax values. If the current transaction
< created and expired the row the fields stored where xmin (same as
< xmax), cmin, cmax, and if the transaction was expiring a row from a
< another transaction, the fields stored were xmin (cmin was not
< needed), xmax, and cmax. Such a system worked because a transaction
< could only see rows from another completed transaction. However,
< subtransactions can see rows from outer transactions, and once the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction continues, requiring
< the storage of all four fields. With subtransactions, an outer
< transaction can create a row, a subtransaction expire it, and when the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction still has to have
< proper visibility of the row's cmin, for example, for cursors.
<
< One possible solution is to create a phantom cid which represents a
< cmin/cmax pair and is stored in local memory. Another idea is to
< store both cmin and cmax only in local memory.
