I had a look on 0001 and it looks mostly fine to me except some strange
mixture of tabs/spaces in the ExecReindex(). There is also a couple of
meaningful comments:
- options =
- (verbose ? REINDEXOPT_VERBOSE : 0) |
- (concurrently ? REINDEXOPT_CONCURRENTLY : 0);
+ if (verbose)
+ params.options |= REINDEXOPT_VERBOSE;
Why do we need this intermediate 'verbose' variable here? We only use it
once to set a bitmask. Maybe we can do it like this:
params.options |= defGetBoolean(opt) ?
REINDEXOPT_VERBOSE : 0;
See also attached txt file with diff (I wonder can I trick cfbot this
way, so it does not apply the diff).
+ int options; /* bitmask of lowlevel REINDEXOPT_* */
I would prefer if the comment says '/* bitmask of ReindexOption */' as
in the VacuumOptions, since citing the exact enum type make it easier to
navigate source code.

Yes, I think so, we are dealing only with index tablespace changing
here. Thanks for noticing.

IIRC, I wanted to do GLOBALTABLESPACE_OID check as early as possible
(just after getting Oid), since it does not make sense to proceed
further if tablespace is set to that value. So initially there were a
lot of duplicative GLOBALTABLESPACE_OID checks, since there were a lot
of reindex entry-points (index, relation, concurrently, etc.). Now we
are going to have ExecReindex(), so there are much less entry-points and
in my opinion it is fine to keep this validation just after
get_tablespace_oid().
However, this is mostly a sanity check. I can hardly imagine a lot of
users trying to constantly move indexes to the global tablespace, so it
is also OK to put this check deeper into guts.
