Hi hackers,
Recently, I'm looking into the implementation of parallel index building.
And I noticed that in `README.parallel` we mentioned that `we allow no writes
to the database and no DDL` . But if I understand it correctly, index building
as one significant DDL is now supporting parallel (though the `_bt_load` is
still single processed). So I guess we should update the outdated document.
The related file is here.
