To my surprise, REINDEX does have a VERBOSE option. should have check this earlier :)
postgres=# reindex (verbose) index t_idx1; INFO: index "t_idx1" was reindexed DETAIL: CPU: user: 5.33 s, system: 0.48 s, elapsed: 6.26 s REINDEX
Is there a reason not to do the same for CREATE INDEX?
Sounds a good idea to me.
Also, we can improve the REINDEX verbose message by also providing the parallel usage.
