> Insertion into a <ACRONYM

due to the likelihood of many keys being inserted for each item.
So, for bulk insertions into a table it is advisable to drop the GIN
index and recreate it after finishing bulk insertion.
</P

necessary since delayed indexing is used (see <A

it may still be best to drop and recreate the index.

the pending-entry list whenever the list grows larger than

it's desirable to have pending-list cleanup occur in the background
(i.e., via autovacuum). Foreground cleanup operations can be avoided by
increasing <TT

However, enlarging <TT

> The primary goal of developing <ACRONYM
CLASS="ACRONYM"
>GIN</ACRONYM
> indexes was
to create support for highly scalable full-text search in
<SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
>, and there are often situations when
a full-text search returns a very large set of results. Moreover, this
often happens when the query contains very frequent words, so that the
large result set is not even useful. Since reading many
tuples from the disk and sorting them could take a lot of time, this is
unacceptable for production. (Note that the index search itself is very
fast.)
</P
><P
> To facilitate controlled execution of such queries,
<ACRONYM
CLASS="ACRONYM"
>GIN</ACRONYM
> has a configurable soft upper limit on the
number of rows returned: the
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>gin_fuzzy_search_limit</TT
> configuration parameter.
It is set to 0 (meaning no limit) by default.
If a non-zero limit is set, then the returned set is a subset of
the whole result set, chosen at random.
</P
><P
> <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Soft"</SPAN
> means that the actual number of returned results
could differ somewhat from the specified limit, depending on the query
and the quality of the system's random number generator.
</P

> From experience, values in the thousands (e.g., 5000 — 20000)
work well.
