Another possibility for very large indexes may be to disable all types
of index scans, then apply no-op UPDATEs to the unindexed rows until the
migrate to some other heap block, then vacuum. After that, amcheck
should issue a clean report. This is much less intrusive than
reindexing possibly several TB of data.
