+ Concurrent builds for indexes on partitioned tables are currently not
+ supported. However, you may concurrently build the index on each
+ partition individually and then finally create the partitioned index
+ non-concurrently in order to reduce the time where writes to the
+ partitioned table will be locked out. In this case, building the
