Hard to recall this thing in details with the time and the fact that a
relation is reindexed by processing all the indexes once at each step.
Hm... What if ReindexRelationConcurrently() actually is refactored in
such a way that it processes all the steps for each index
individually? This way you can monitor the time it takes to build
completely each index, including its . This operation would consume
more transactions but in the event of a failure the amount of things
to clean up is really reduced particularly for relations with many
indexes. This would as well reduce VERBOSE to print one line per index
rebuilt.
