- * lazy_update_relstats - update pg_class statistics for a table or index
- *
- * We always want to set relpages to an accurate value.  However, for lazy
- * VACUUM it seems best to set reltuples to the average of the number of
- * rows before vacuuming and the number after vacuuming, rather than just
- * using the number after vacuuming.  This will result in the best average
- * performance in a steady-state situation where VACUUMs are performed
- * regularly on a table of roughly constant size, assuming that the physical
- * number of pages in the table stays about the same throughout.  (Note that
- * we do not apply the same logic to VACUUM FULL, because it repacks the table
- * and thereby boosts the tuple density.)
- *
- * An important point is that when the table size has decreased a lot during
- * vacuuming, the old reltuples count might give an overestimate of the tuple
- * density.  We handle this by scaling down the old reltuples count by the
- * fraction by which the table has shortened before we merge it with the
- * new reltuples count.  In particular this means that when relpages goes to
- * zero, reltuples will immediately go to zero as well, causing the planner
- * to fall back on other estimation procedures as the table grows again.
- *
- * Because we do this math independently for the table and the indexes, it's
- * quite possible to end up with an index's reltuples different from the
- * table's, which is silly except in the case of partial indexes.  We don't
- * worry too much about that here; the planner contains filtering logic to
- * ensure it only uses sane estimates.
