Subject: [PATCH v1 04/14] heapam: Use exclusive lock on old page in CLUSTER
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 11:45:36 -0400

To be able to guarantee that we can set the hint bit, acquire an exclusive
lock on the old buffer. We need the hint bits to be set as otherwise
reform_and_rewrite_tuple() -> rewrite_heap_tuple() -> heap_freeze_tuple() will
get confused.

It'd be better if we somehow coulda void setting hint bits on the old
page. One reason to use VACUUM FULL are very bloated tables - rewriting most
of the old table before during VACUUM FULL doesn't.
