Thread: pgsql: Preserve index data in pg_statistic across REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
Preserve index data in pg_statistic across REINDEX CONCURRENTLY Statistics associated to an index got lost after running REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, while the non-concurrent case preserves these correctly. The concurrent and non-concurrent operations need to be consistent for the end-user, and missing statistics would force to wait for a new analyze to happen, which could take some time depending on the activity of the existing autovacuum workers. This issue is fixed by copying any existing entries in pg_statistic associated to the old index to the new one. Note that this copy is already done with the data of the index in the stats collector.
