[PATCH v50 1/8] Make index_concurrently_create_copy more general 604+ messages / 2 participants [nested] [flat]
* [PATCH v50 1/8] Make index_concurrently_create_copy more general @ 2026-03-24 18:02 Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 604+ messages in thread From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-03-24 18:02 UTC (permalink / raw) Add a 'boolean concurrent' option, and make it work for both cases. Also rename it to index_create_copy. This allows it to be reused for other purposes -- specifically, for REPACK CONCURRENTLY. With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes (including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for. This approach is different from what CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY does. Per a suggestion from Mihail Nikalayeu.
