+ *  update_indexes - in successful cases this indicates the index types
+ * which require new index entries for this tuple

AFAIK, summarising indexes may not necessarily always need a new
entry. So the following sentence looks more accurate
 in successful cases, this indicates the types of indexes (summarising
vs non-summarising) which need an update based on this tuple. The text
in the parenthese would clarify "index types", but if it's too
verbose, it may be omitted.
