 * This is the Split Vector to be returned by the PickSplit method.
 * PickSplit should fill the indexes of tuples to go to the left side into
 * spl_left[], and those to go to the right into spl_right[] (note the method
 * is responsible for palloc'ing both of these arrays!).  The tuple counts
 * go into spl_nleft/spl_nright, and spl_ldatum/spl_rdatum must be set to
 * the union keys for each side.
 *
 * If spl_ldatum_exists and spl_rdatum_exists are true, then we are performing
 * a "secondary split" using a non-first index column.  In this case some
 * decisions have already been made about a page split, and the set of tuples
 * being passed to PickSplit is just the tuples about which we are undecided.
 * spl_ldatum/spl_rdatum then contain the union keys for the tuples already
 * chosen to go left or right.  Ideally the PickSplit method should take those
 * keys into account while deciding what to do with the remaining tuples, ie
 * it should try to "build out" from those unions so as to minimally expand
 * them.  If it does so, it should union the given tuples' keys into the
 * existing spl_ldatum/spl_rdatum values rather than just setting those values
 * from scratch, and then set spl_ldatum_exists/spl_rdatum_exists to false to
 * show it has done this.
 *
 * If the PickSplit method fails to clear spl_ldatum_exists/spl_rdatum_exists,
 * the core GiST code will make its own decision about how to merge the
 * secondary-split results with the previously-chosen tuples, and will then
 * recompute the union keys from scratch.  This is a workable though often not
 * optimal approach.
