A custom table access method might want to add a new reloption to control something specific to that table access method. Unfortunately, if you add a new option of type RELOPT_KIND_HEAP, it will immediately fail because of the validation that happens in fillRelOptions(). Right now, heap reloptions (e.g. FILLFACTOR) are validated in two places: parseRelOptions() and fillRelOptions(). parseRelOptions() validates against boolRelOpts[], intRelOpts[], etc. This validation is extensible by add_bool_reloption(), etc. fillRelOptions() validates when filling in a struct to make sure there aren't "leftover" options. It does this using a hard-coded parsing table that is not extensible. Index access methods get total control over validation of reloptions, but that doesn't fit well with heaps, because all heaps need the vacuum-related options. I considered some other approaches, but they all seemed like over- engineering, so the attached patch just passes validate=false to fillRelOptions() for heaps. That allows custom table access methods to just define new options of kind RELOPT_KIND_HEAP. Regards, Jeff Davis
