In other words, I think reindexing may be not safe when pgpool is

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought REINDEX is not performed under heavy load because it holds
strong lock.

My usage case would be using REINDEX TABLE periodically, as described here:

Of course it would be done during the least load, but in theory, a deadlock can still happen.
