Hi! Saw this TODO in the code, we've been running something similar in our codebase, so better contribute it back :)
Allow
safe_add_index
to be seamlessly retried.When the
add_index...concurrently
fails, the index is left in Postgres withINVALID
status.The new code drops the index if it's found and invalid. With this, if the migration fails because of a lock timeout for example, on retry it can work. Without it the retries always fail until you manually drop the index.
