> if an inet type column is a partition key, can I write to it in IPv4 and then query it with IPv6 and find the record?
You can't...however... Especially when the original/existing behavior here was possibly not all that well-conceived, I think it would at least be a good idea to maintain an *ability* to query inet columns that is v4/v6 format agnostic. We could change nothing in the SAI index itself and control this behavior at post-filtering w/ a few lines of code. (i.e. The default could still be to compare the raw bytes like we would do w/ a key element.)
