BF failure: could not open relation with OID XXXX while querying pg_views

Hi,

Here are three strange recent failures in the "rules" test:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=blenny&dt=2019-08-13%2022:19:27
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=alewife&dt=2019-07-27%2009:39:05
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=dory&dt=2019-07-18%2003:00:27

They all raised "ERROR: could not open relation with OID <varies>"
while running:

SELECT viewname, definition FROM pg_views
WHERE schemaname IN ('pg_catalog', 'public')
ORDER BY viewname;

I think the problem is probably that Peter ignored this bit of advice
in parallel_schedule:

# rules cannot run concurrently with any test that creates
# a view or rule in the public schema

when he inserted "collate.linux.utf8" concurrently with "rules".

(I suspect BTW that the point is not so much that you better not
*create* such an object, as that you better not *drop* it concurrently
with that query.)

This test file is set up to create everything in the "collate_tests"
schema. Is that not working correctly?

Oh, hmm --- yeah, that should mean it's safe. Maybe somebody incautiously
changed one of the other tests that run concurrently with "rules"?

Looks like stats_ext.sql could be the problem. It creates and drops
priv_test_view, not in a schema. Adding Dean, author of commit
d7f8d26d.

Yeah, that seems like it might be the cause. I'll take a look at fixing
this, probably by creating the view in a different schema.

Ping? We're still getting intermittent failures of this ilk, eg

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=dragonet&amp;dt=2019-09-14%2003%3A37%3A03

With v12 release approaching, I'd like to not have failures
like this in a released branch.

Ah sorry, I missed this thread before. As author of that commit, it's
really on me to fix it, and the cause seems pretty clear-cut, so I'll
aim to get that done today.

FWIW here is a draft patch that I was going to propose - it simply moves
the table+view into a "tststats" schema. I suppose that's rougly what we
discussed earlier in this thread.

Yes, that matches what I just drafted.
