Subject: pgsql: Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime err
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2024 21:15:21 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.
When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought
it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to
catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also
fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to
access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying
to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors
as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this
a regular runtime check.
While at it, adjust the similar error check in
systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one
is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as
well use a translatable message if we have one.
Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported
branches.
