Function handler_index_cond_check() is invoked once for each index tuple.

That is, the storage is expected to do something like:

while() 
{
  read the next index tuple;
  unpack index columns into their places in table->record[0];

  if ((res= handler_index_cond_check()) != ICP_NO_MATCH)
  {
    // return either an error or record, depending on the value of res.
  }
}
