Running pgstatindex on some !indisready indexes fails with "ERROR: XX001:
could not read block 0 in file". This reproduces it:
begin;
drop table if exists not_indisready_t;
create table not_indisready_t (c int);
insert into not_indisready_t values (1),(1);
commit;
create unique index concurrently not_indisready_i on not_indisready_t(c);
begin;
create extension pgstattuple;
\set VERBOSITY verbose
select * from pgstatindex('not_indisready_i');
\set VERBOSITY default
rollback;
Since XX001 = ERRCODE_DATA_CORRUPTED appears in the "can't-happen" class, it's
not a good fit for this scenario. I propose to have pgstatindex fail early on
!indisready indexes. We could go a step further and also fail on
indisready&&!indisvalid indexes, which are complete enough to accept inserts
but not complete enough to answer queries. I don't see a reason to do that,
but maybe someone else will.
This made me wonder about functions handling unlogged rels during recovery. I
used the attached hack to test most regclass-arg functions. While some of
these errors from src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/001_stream_rep_standby_2.log
may deserve improvement, there were no class-XX messages:
