I just had a look at the hashtable APIs and I do not think it is adapted to
establish the list of unique index OIDs that need to be built concurrently.
It would be of a better use in case of mapping the indexOids with something
else, like the concurrent Oids, but still even with that the code would be
more readable if let as is.
