Hi

a query is stuck with the above, it seems it waits for parallel worker 
to finish, however , there are no parallel works running :

postgres@[local]/dynacom=# SELECT application_name, backend_type, 
backend_start,xact_start,query_start,wait_event_type, wait_event ,state 
FROM pg_stat_activity;
application_name |         backend_type         |         backend_start 
         |          xact_start           |          query_start 
          | wait_event_type |     wait_event      | state

So, I will terminate this backend now to get the system working again, 
we are curious why this happened, our system serves daily 22M+ 
transactions, this is Saturday night hence the low traffic.
