Would that work with non-unique indexes? Anyways, the point I was trying to
make is that there are a similar technical challenges and we could solve it
for WARM as well with your work for finding conflicting <key, tid> pairs
and then not doing inserts. My thinking currently is that it will lead to
other challenges, especially around vacuum, but I could be wrong.

What I tried to do with initial WARM patch is to show significant
improvement even with just 50% WARM updates, yet keep the patch simple. But
there are of course several things we can do to improve it further and
support other index types.

Thanks,
Pavan
