Peter Geoghegan 5f8727f5a6 VACUUM ANALYZE: Always update pg_class.reltuples.
vacuumlazy.c sometimes fails to update pg_class entries for each index
(to ensure that pg_class.reltuples is current), even though analyze.c
assumed that that must have happened during VACUUM ANALYZE.  There are
at least a couple of reasons for this.  For example, vacuumlazy.c could
fail to update pg_class when the index AM indicated that its statistics
are merely an estimate, per the contract for amvacuumcleanup() routines
established by commit e57345975c back in 2006.

Stop assuming that pg_class must have been updated with accurate
statistics within VACUUM ANALYZE -- update pg_class for indexes at the
same time as the table relation in all cases.  That way VACUUM ANALYZE
will never fail to keep pg_class.reltuples reasonably accurate.

The only downside of this approach (compared to the old approach) is
that it might inaccurately set pg_class.reltuples for indexes whose heap
relation ends up with the same inaccurate value anyway.  This doesn't
seem too bad.  We already consistently called vac_update_relstats() (to
update pg_class) for the heap/table relation twice during any VACUUM
ANALYZE -- once in vacuumlazy.c, and once in analyze.c.  We now make
sure that we call vac_update_relstats() at least once (though often
twice) for each index.

This is follow up work to commit 9f3665fb, which dealt with issues in
btvacuumcleanup().  Technically this fixes an unrelated issue, though.
btvacuumcleanup() no longer provides an accurate num_index_tuples value
following commit 9f3665fb (when there was no btbulkdelete() call during
the VACUUM operation in question), but hashvacuumcleanup() has worked in
the same way for many years now.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
