A bitmap can retain page-level lossy entries instead of every tuple location; heap rechecks then remain necessary.","evidence":[{"archive_sha256":"555610c24d53e4316da5b7d3fc25c279d96856d5e0e23ee308c328c5fa881d9f","label":"src/backend/executor/nodeBitmapOr.c","path":"src/backend/executor/nodeBitmapOr.c","sha256":"81e2aeb0cc0d4cece84b7514385636cd11ea0e1faab93c721d4c3b86c20c9104","url":"https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v18.6/postgresql-18.6.tar.bz2"},{"archive_sha256":"555610c24d53e4316da5b7d3fc25c279d96856d5e0e23ee308c328c5fa881d9f","label":"src/backend/nodes/tidbitmap.c","path":"src/backend/nodes/tidbitmap.c","sha256":"e2453b7155d55db8c3a59bc929362f01d3f9692b0a483e5aa81a7b6c50db6102","url":"https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v18.6/postgresql-18.6.tar.bz2"}],"mechanism":"bitmap-lossification","source_notes":[]}
