Thanks. Our project is at https://github.com/tensorchord/pgvecto.rs. A custom index is implemented for the vector similarity search, which implements `amgettuples` with direction support to provide candidates for the order by clause.
And we want to inject the filter condition using bitmap into the amgettuples process, instead of checking the tuples one by one to accelerate the whole process.
