When deploying RLS, I was surprised to find that certain queries which used
only builtin indexes and operators had dramatically different query plans when
a policy is applied. In my case, the query `tsvector @@ tsquery` over a GIN
index was no longer able to use that index. I was able to find one other
instance [1] of someone being surprised by this behavior on the mailing lists.
The docs already discuss the LEAKPROOF semantics in the abstract, but I think
they place not enough focus on the idea that builtin operators can be (and
frequently are) not leakproof. Based on the query given in the attached patch,
I found that 387 operators are not leakproof versus 588 that are.
The attached patch updates the documentation to provide an easy query over
system catalogs as a way of determining which operators will no longer perform
well under RLS or a security-barrier view.
Thanks,
Josh
