Yes, please look at the attached,
I've decided to change also index_open() -> relation_open() because
index_open() only adds a check, that is not suitable for this concrete
case, so there is no much sense to use the different function.
(In fact, that check was good enough at the time of e759854a0, but
8b08f7d48 changed it.)
As a result, error messages for hash indexes are becoming consistent with
other indexes. Also I've added a test case for the issue, but maybe it's
superfluous...
Best regards,
Alexander
