Examples​

SQL
> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(1), bitmap_bit_position(1);
 1  0

> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(32768), bitmap_bit_position(32768);
 1  32767

> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(32769), bitmap_bit_position(32769);
 2  0

> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(0), bitmap_bit_position(0);
 0  0

> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(-32767), bitmap_bit_position(-32767);
 0  32767

> SELECT bitmap_bucket_number(-32768), bitmap_bit_position(-32768);
