fastupdate

Controls usage of the fast update technique described in Section 65.4.4.1 . ON enables fast update, OFF disables it. The default is ON . Turning fastupdate off via ALTER INDEX prevents future insertions from going into the list of pending index entries, but does not in itself flush existing entries. You might want to VACUUM the table or call the gin_clean_pending_list function afterward to ensure the pending list is emptied.
