I attach V4 of amcheck. I decided to leave things as they are, as far
as forcing a different elevel goes (you still need to modify a macro).
I didn't change the elevel macro from CONCERN in a couple of cases, as
Andres suggested, because in fact that's generally the same as DEBUG1,
not WARNING (I agreed with Andres that it was WARNING before, but it
isn't unless you #define NOT_USED).
Andres said: "Theoretically we should recheck that the oids still
match, theoretically the locking here allows the index->table mapping
to change". I don't know how to act on this feedback, since comparable
index + heap locking code should have the same problem, but doesn't
consider it. How is this any different to reindex_index()?
Other than that, all feedback items were worked through. I made the
functions PARALLEL SAFE, too, since I noticed that that wasn't the
case in passing.
