You can do CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to build a new index with the same definition, and when that is complete, drop the
oldindex. The locking that is required here is modest: CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY needs to lock the table briefly at a
coupleof points in the operation, and dropping the old index requires a brief lock on the table. It is, however, much
lessoverall lock time than REINDEX would be.
