Hi.
I have some more question.
In the following code (indexcmds.c:1640 and later)

1640 rel = table_open(relationId,
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1641 heaprelid = rel->rd_lockInfo.lockRelId;
1642 table_close(rel, ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1643 SET_LOCKTAG_RELATION(heaplocktag,
heaprelid.dbId, heaprelid.relId);

should we release ShareUpdateExclusiveLock before getting session lock
in DefineIndexConcurrentInternal()?
Also we unlock parent table there between reindexing childs in the end
of DefineIndexConcurrentInternal():

1875 /*
1876 * Last thing to do is release the session-level lock on
the parent table.
1877 */
1878 UnlockRelationIdForSession(&heaprelid,
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
1879 }

Is it safe? Shouldn't we hold session lock on the parent table while
rebuilding child indexes?
