Track collation versions for indexes.
Record the current version of dependent collations in pg_depend when creating or rebuilding an index. When accessing the index later, warn that the index may be corrupted if the current version doesn't match. Thanks to Douglas Doole, Peter Eisentraut, Christoph Berg, Laurenz Albe, Michael Paquier, Robert Haas, Tom Lane and others for very helpful discussion.

The sort order defined by a collation is not necessarily fixed over time.
|
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> relies on external libraries that
|
||||
are subject to operating system upgrades, and can also differ between
|
||||
servers involved in binary replication and file-system-level migration.
|
||||
Persistent data structures such as B-trees that depend on sort order might
|
||||
be corrupted by any resulting change.
|
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> defends against this by recording the
|
||||
current version of each referenced collation for any index that depends on
|
||||
it in the
|
||||
<link linkend="catalog-pg-depend"><structname>pg_depend</structname></link>
|
||||
catalog, if the collation provider makes that information available. If the
|
||||
provider later begins to report a different version, a warning will be
|
||||
issued when the index is accessed, until either the
|
||||
<xref linkend="sql-reindex"/> command or the
|
||||
<xref linkend="sql-alterindex"/> command is used to update the version.

<para>
|

When using the GNU C library for collations, the C library's version
|
||||
is used as a proxy for the collation version. Many Linux distributions
|
||||
change collation definitions only when upgrading the C library, but this
|
||||
approach is imperfect as maintainers are free to back-port newer
|
||||
collation definitions to older C library releases.
