Hi.
I have some more question.
In the following code (indexcmds.c:1640 and later)

1640                         rel = table_open(relationId, 
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1641                         heaprelid = rel->rd_lockInfo.lockRelId;
1642                         table_close(rel, ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1643                         SET_LOCKTAG_RELATION(heaplocktag, 
heaprelid.dbId, heaprelid.relId);

should we release ShareUpdateExclusiveLock before getting session lock 
in DefineIndexConcurrentInternal()?
Also we unlock parent table there between reindexing childs in the end 
of DefineIndexConcurrentInternal():

1875         /*
1876          * Last thing to do is release the session-level lock on 
the parent table.
1877          */
1878         UnlockRelationIdForSession(&heaprelid, 
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1879 }


Is it safe? Shouldn't we hold session lock on the parent table while 
rebuilding child indexes?
