Andres Freund 7f563c09f8 Add amcheck verification of heap relations belonging to btree indexes.
Add a new, optional, capability to bt_index_check() and
bt_index_parent_check():  check that each heap tuple that should have an
index entry does in fact have one.  The extra checking is performed at
the end of the existing nbtree checks.

This is implemented by using a Bloom filter data structure.  The
implementation performs set membership tests within a callback (the same
type of callback that each index AM registers for CREATE INDEX).  The
Bloom filter is populated during the initial index verification scan.

Reusing the CREATE INDEX infrastructure allows the new verification
option to automatically benefit from the heap consistency checks that
CREATE INDEX already performs.  CREATE INDEX does thorough sanity
checking of HOT chains, so the new check actually manages to detect
problems in heap-only tuples.

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/.
