Thank you for the info, Peter.
Separate but related follow-up question: when you restore a DB from a backup, does the restored index use the old format or the latest one?
Thank you,
Darren Lafreniere

Is it possible to query the btree version that a particular index is using? We'd like to automatically start a concurrent re-index if we detect any btree indexes are still on version 3.
It's possible, but you have to install the superuser-only pageinspect
extension. Here is how you'd determine that an index called
'pg_aggregate_fnoid_index' is on version 4:
regression=# create extension pageinspect;
CREATE EXTENSION
regression=# select version from bt_metap('pg_aggregate_fnoid_index');
version
---------
4
