Thanks for updating the patches.  Here are some minor sugesstion.

0003

+static inline TupleTableSlot *
+heapam_tuple_insert_with_arbiter(ResultRelInfo *resultRelInfo,

I'm not entirely certain whether the "inline" keyword has any effect.

0004

+static bytea *
+heapam_indexoptions(amoptions_function amoptions, char relkind,
+                                       Datum reloptions, bool validate)
+{
+       return index_reloptions(amoptions, reloptions, validate);
+}

Could you please explain why we are not verifying the relkind like
heapam_reloptions()?


-               case RELKIND_VIEW:
                case RELKIND_MATVIEW:
+               case RELKIND_VIEW:
                case RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE:

I think this change is unnecessary.

- We can reduce the indentation by moving the classFrom and classTup into
  the if branch.
- Perhaps we could remove the brace of else branch to maintain consistency
  in the code style.
