Hash index operations are not presently WAL-logged,
|

so hash indexes might need to be rebuilt with <command>REINDEX</>

Also, changes to hash indexes are not replicated over warm standby

replication after the initial base backup, so they
|
||||
give wrong anwers to queries that subsequently use them.
|
||||
For these reasons, hash index use is presently discouraged.
