PgConf.Russia 2017 talks
RUM indexes and their applications

Postgres Pro, Chief developer
Alexander has a status of PostgreSQL Major Contributor. He graduated from the MEPhI with honours. Alexander defended PhD thesis based on his impact in PostgreSQL development, specifically enhancement in fuzzy search of strings. One of his greatest achievement in the open-source community is development of the infrastructure for index access method extensibility. Alexander also improved GiST and GIN indexes, optimized multicore architechture, statistics and selectivity assessment. Three times he was a mentor in GSoC program .
I want to present a new custom access method, which extends the current GIN capabilities using additional information stored in posting tree/list. For example, positional information as an additional information allows new AM returns results in relevance order, which could considerably improve execution time of full text queries.
There are GIN and VODKA access methods, so there is now RUM.
The new AM is an extension developed on top of Custom AM/Custom WAL features available in 9.6 and supported by Postgres Professional company.
