  1. Docs: concurrent builds of partitioned indexes are not supported

  1. No mention of no CIC support for partitioned index in docs

    It appears there is no mention of lack of support for CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY on partitioned index in the documents.

Added in the attached.

Thanks. I've just pushed something.

I ended up deciding that we owe the user a bit more of an explanation
of how they might work around the problem.  Of course, a partitioned
table index build is likely to take much longer than an index build on
a normal table, since most likely a partitioned table is larger. So I
went on to explain how they might minimise the time where writers will
be blocked by creating indexes concurrently on each partition first.
