 *	  Generalized tuple sorting routines.
 *
 * This module handles sorting of heap tuples, index tuples, or single
 * Datums (and could easily support other kinds of sortable objects,
 * if necessary).  It works efficiently for both small and large amounts
 * of data.  Small amounts are sorted in-memory using qsort().	Large
 * amounts are sorted using temporary files and a standard external sort
 * algorithm.

/*
 * We provide multiple interfaces to what is essentially the same code,
 * since different callers have different data to be sorted and want to
 * specify the sort key information differently.  There are two APIs for
 * sorting HeapTuples and two more for sorting IndexTuples.  Yet another
 * API supports sorting bare Datums.
 *
 * The "heap" API actually stores/sorts MinimalTuples, which means it doesn't
 * preserve the system columns (tuple identity and transaction visibility
 * info).  The sort keys are specified by column numbers within the tuples
 * and sort operator OIDs.	We save some cycles by passing and returning the
 * tuples in TupleTableSlots, rather than forming actual HeapTuples (which'd
 * have to be converted to MinimalTuples).	This API works well for sorts
 * executed as parts of plan trees.
 *
 * The "cluster" API stores/sorts full HeapTuples including all visibility
 * info. The sort keys are specified by reference to a btree index that is
 * defined on the relation to be sorted.  Note that putheaptuple/getheaptuple
 * go with this API, not the "begin_heap" one!
 *
 * The "index_btree" API stores/sorts IndexTuples (preserving all their
 * header fields).	The sort keys are specified by a btree index definition.
 *
 * The "index_hash" API is similar to index_btree, but the tuples are
 * actually sorted by their hash codes not the raw data.
