Hi postgres community,
I am willing to participate in GSoC to speed up the build of the gist index
in postgis, which is based on postgresql.
And I need to know *everything* about the GiST API.
To do so I need to acquire the necessary theory and concepts to start this
journey.
I do not have a computer science background, I have little knowledge about
machines and I code in Python (for scientific computation, data science and
ml).
So I am asking what I should learn to complete in an efficient way this
task at hand: speeding up the build of gist index, if possible how much
time is needed to accomplish each task.
Now I am learning the C language.
Best regards.
