the only mentions of the word "index" I could find was in relation to
replica identity and examples of table definitions showing primary key
indexes.
Nothing is said about indexes. Maybe for good reason, maybe they are
fully functionality immediately after replication?
So the main question: Once a table is fully replicated, do I need to
vacuum(analyze) that table, or are the indexes on that table already
functional?
VACUUM/ANALYZE is not about making the index functional. The VACUUM
marks the space dead tuples occupy in the table and associated indexes
as available for recycling. The ANALYZE updates tables statistics to
help the planner make decisions on what query plan to use. On a fresh
table VACUUM will not be of much value, ANALYZE though will help by
creating up to date table statistics.
