Question about HoT updates and conditional indexes - Mailing list pgsql-general

Lets assume I have a table with an index defined as:
create index test_key on test_table(mtime) where status=1;

Will be update such as:
update test_table set mtime=NOW() where id=10;
threated as HOT update if  the entry with id=10 have status=0 ?

That update seems valid one for using HOT, however in practice it seems use the full update way.
