It is possible to create index on demand:
Buffer
_bt_getbuf(Relation rel, BlockNumber blkno, int access)
{
Buffer buf;
if (blkno != P_NEW)
{
/* Read an existing block of the relation */
buf = ReadBuffer(rel, blkno);
/* Session temporary relation may be not yet initialized for
this backend. */
if (blkno == BTREE_METAPAGE &&
GlobalTempRelationPageIsNotInitialized(rel, BufferGetPage(buf)))
{
Relation heap = RelationIdGetRelation(rel->rd_index->indrelid);
ReleaseBuffer(buf);
DropRelFileNodeLocalBuffers(rel->rd_node, MAIN_FORKNUM, blkno);
btbuild(heap, rel, BuildIndexInfo(rel));
RelationClose(heap);
buf = ReadBuffer(rel, blkno);
LockBuffer(buf, access);
}
else
{
LockBuffer(buf, access);
_bt_checkpage(rel, buf);
}
}
...
This code initializes B-Tree and load data in it when GTT index is
access and is not initialized yet.
It looks a little bit hacker but it works.
I also wonder why you are keeping information about GTT in shared
memory. Looks like the only information we really need to share is
table's metadata.
But it is already shared though catalog. All other GTT related
information is private to backend so I do not see reasons to place it in
shared memory.
