The invalid toast indexes are not rebuilt. With the design of this
patch, toast relations can only have one valid index at the same time,
and this is also the path taken by REINDEX CONCURRENTLY for toast
relations. This process is managed by this code in cluster.c, only the
valid index of toast relation is taken into account when rebuilding
relations:
***************
*** 1393,1410 **** swap_relation_files(Oid r1, Oid r2, bool target_is_pg_class,

/*
* If we're swapping two toast tables by content, do the same for their
! * indexes.
*/
if (swap_toast_by_content &&
! relform1->reltoastidxid && relform2->reltoastidxid)
! swap_relation_files(relform1->reltoastidxid,
! relform2->reltoastidxid,
target_is_pg_class,
swap_toast_by_content,
is_internal,
InvalidTransactionId,
InvalidMultiXactId,
mapped_tables);

/* Clean up. */
heap_freetuple(reltup1);
--- 1392,1421 ----

/*
* If we're swapping two toast tables by content, do the same for their
! * valid index. The swap can actually be safely done only if
the relations
! * have indexes.
*/
if (swap_toast_by_content &&
! relform1->relkind == RELKIND_TOASTVALUE &&
! relform2->relkind == RELKIND_TOASTVALUE)
! {
! Oid toastIndex1, toastIndex2;
!
! /* Get valid index for each relation */
! toastIndex1 = toast_get_valid_index(r1,
!
AccessExclusiveLock);
! toastIndex2 = toast_get_valid_index(r2,
!
AccessExclusiveLock);
!
! swap_relation_files(toastIndex1,
! toastIndex2,
target_is_pg_class,
swap_toast_by_content,
is_internal,
InvalidTransactionId,
InvalidMultiXactId,
mapped_tables);
+ }
