I think it is better if you base your patch on (Microvacuum support
for hash index - https://commitfest.postgresql.org/13/835/).
1.
There are some hints which we might want to mask that are used in that
patch. For ex, I think you need to take care of Dead marking at page
level. Refer below code in patch "Microvacuum support for hash index".
+ if (killedsomething)
+ {
+ opaque->hasho_flag |= LH_PAGE_HAS_DEAD_TUPLES;
2.
+ else if ((opaque->hasho_flag & LH_BUCKET_PAGE) ||
+ (opaque->hasho_flag & LH_OVERFLOW_PAGE))
+ {
+ /*
+ * In btree bucket and overflow pages, it is possible to modify the
+ * LP_FLAGS without emitting any WAL record. Hence, mask the line
+ * pointer flags.
+ * See hashgettuple() for details.
+ */
+ mask_lp_flags(page);
+ }
Again, this mechanism is also modified by patch "Microvacuum support
for hash index", so above changes needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Comment referring to btree is wrong, you need to refer hash.
