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/.
