I think that probably refers to some version-specific upgrade
situations; I can't see a reason why it would be true in general.
Bruce, doesn't that doc need improvement?
regards, tom lane
I'm specifically thinking about this (from 9.4 release-notes):
E.5.3.1.1. Indexes
Reduce GIN index size (Alexander Korotkov, Heikki Linnakangas)
Indexes upgraded via pg_upgrade will work fine but will still be in the old, larger GIN format. Use REINDEX to recreate old GIN indexes in the new format.
It'd be great if pg_upgrade generated re-index scripts to make those indexes use the new format.
