When instantiating an existing partitioned index for a new child partition, we use generateClonedIndexStmt to build a suitable IndexStmt to pass to DefineIndex. However, when DefineIndex needs to recurse to instantiate a newly created partitioned index on an existing child partition, it was doing copyObject on the given IndexStmt and then applying a bunch of ad-hoc fixups. This has a number of problems, primarily that it implies fresh lookups of referenced objects such as opclasses and collations. Since commit 2af07e2f7 caused DefineIndex to restrict search_path internally, those lookups could fail or deliver different results than the original one. We can avoid those problems and save a few dozen lines of code by using generateClonedIndexStmt in this code path too. Another thing this fixes is incorrect propagation of parent-index comments to child indexes (because the copyObject approach copies the idxcomment field while generateClonedIndexStmt doesn't). I had noticed this in connection with commit c01eb619a, but not run the problem to ground. I'm tempted to back-patch this further than v17, but the only thing it's known to fix in older branches is the comment issue, which is pretty minor and doesn't seem worth the risk of introducing new issues in stable branches. (If anyone does care about that, clearing idxcomment in the copied IndexStmt would be a safer fix.) Per bug #18637 from usamoi. Back-patch to v17 where the search_path change came in.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
