Actually, about this fragment ... if we track these ancestors for all
indexes, not just the ones that we consider as arbiters, don't we risk
doing something stupid when a completely unrelated index is being
reindexed? Namely, also consider that unrelated index as arbiter.
if (ancestors != NIL &&
!list_member_oid(ancestors_seen, linitial_oid(ancestors)))
{
foreach_oid(parent_idx,
rootResultRelInfo->ri_onConflictArbiterIndexes)
{
if (list_member_oid(ancestors, parent_idx))
{
arbiterIndexes = lappend_oid(arbiterIndexes,
indexoid);
arbiters_listidxs = lappend_int(arbiters_listidxs,
listidx);
break;
}
}
/*
* Track which ancestor we saw, add other indexes that seem
to have
* the same ancestor as "unparented".
*/
ancestors_seen = lappend_oid(ancestors_seen,
linitial_oid(ancestors));
}
else
unparented_idxs = lappend_int(unparented_idxs, listidx);
I think the lappend_oid(ancestors_seen) should happen inside the
"if list_member_oid(ancestors)" block instead. I'm imagining a test
case like:
CREATE TABLE test.tblparted(i int primary key, updated_at timestamp) PARTITION
BY RANGE (i);
CREATE TABLE test.tbl_partition PARTITION OF test.tblparted
FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (10000)
WITH (parallel_workers = 0);
CREATE INDEX unrelated_index ON test.tblparted (updated_at);
where the reindex is
REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY test.tbl_partition_updated_at_idx;
This doesn't fail, but I suspect it's just from me not setting up the
test case correctly.
I'm also missing a comment for why the use linitial_oid(ancestors) is
correct. At first I thought we should walk the entire ancestors list,
and do this dance if any OID there matches the ancestors_seen list. I
convinced myself that this isn't necessary because the scenario is a
single table being under REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, so the two indexes would
have the same root relation (top-most ancestor index). So comparing
linitial() is correct.
