About index_build
Hi,
I have found comments in backend/catalog/index.c, that
index_build closes the passed rels ( heapRelation and indexRelation ).
But in backend/access/nbtree/nbtree.c I see something like this:
if (IsNormalProcessingMode())
{
....
heap_close(heap, NoLock);
index_close(index);
....
}
Why it is not like
if (IsNormalProcessingMode())
{
....
heap_close(heap, NoLock);
index_close(index);
....
}
else {
heap_close(heap, NoLock);
index_close(index);
}
Is it a bug or feature ?

Bootstrap mode does it differently. I've never really felt motivated to
understand why in any detail. Presumably it was once *necessary* for
bootstrap to behave like that, and maybe it still is or maybe not.
It ain't broke so why fix it ...
