◆ span_sel_overlaps()
Calculate selectivity of "var && const" operator, i.e., estimate the fraction of spans that overlap the constant lower and upper bounds. This uses the histograms of span lower and upper bounds. Note that A && B <=> NOT (A <<# B OR A #>> B). Since A <<# B and A #>> B are mutually exclusive events we can sum their probabilities to find probability of (A <<# B OR A #>> B). "(span/spanset) @> timestamptz" is equivalent to "span && [elem,elem]". The caller already constructed the singular span from the element constant, so just treat it the same as &&. |
