Note that pg_gin_pending_stats' pages and tuples columns return 0 if its argument is the GIN index built with FASTUPDATE option disabled because it doesn't have a pending list. Please see <link to the proper PostgreSQL document> for the details of FASTUPDATE option. I don't have any strong opinion about this. If you think this is important, could you implement the patch? I will commit that! Regards, -- Fujii Masao
