Well, it is a demonstrated problem, and we currently don't even report
the index name that caused the cluster to fail.
Here is a new patch that continues to throw an error for a failed
database-wide cluster (no warning) if a single table fails. It does
print the index name and it prints a hint that the user can use ALTER
TABLE ... SET WITHOUT CLUSTER to avoid the failure:
test=> CLUSTER test_gist_idx ON test;
ERROR: cannot cluster on index "test_gist_idx" because access method
does not handle null values
HINT: You may be able to work around this by marking column "a" NOT
NULL.
test=> CLUSTER;
ERROR: cannot cluster on index "test_gist_idx" because access method
does not handle null values
HINT: You may be able to work around this by marking column "a" NOT
NULL, or use ALTER TABLE ... SET WITHOUT CLUSTER to remove the cluster
specification from the table.
