Rake task to reindex an index
What does this MR do?
Relates to: #230829 (closed)
Currently, pg_repack
is manually used to rebuild indexes that become bloated on GitLab.com. This process needs to be automated, in a way that can be run on self-managed installations in addition to GitLab.com.
This MR introduces a new rake task that can be used to concurrently reindex an existing index, which will be executed automatically by the application.
