Subject: pgsql: Fail REPACK in presence of !indisready indexes
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:20:26 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x5jC6-000000008nZ-3KlL@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Fail REPACK in presence of !indisready indexes
Like VACUUM FULL, non-concurrent REPACK would try to rebuild such
indexes, which can sometimes succeed. Concurrent REPACK would however
fail. The inconsistency is not good, so make them both throw an error
quickly to force the user to make a decision on those indexes (most
likely, drop them).
