BRIN autosummarization may need a snapshot It's possible to define BRIN indexes on functions that require a snapshot to run, but the autosummarization feature introduced by commit 7526e10224f0 fails to provide one. This causes autovacuum to leave a BRIN placeholder tuple behind after a failed work-item execution, making such indexes less efficient. Repair by obtaining a snapshot prior to running the task, and add a test to verify this behavior.
