tohave fully correct support of fillfactor in GIN we need to rewrite GIN build algorithm.</span><p style="

Withoutrewriting GIN build algorithm, not much can be done with entry tree. However, you can implement some
heuristics.</span><pstyle="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
