Adding -hackers, sorry for the duplicate.

This seems to be deficient, citing
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/0d1b394b-bec9-8a71-a336-44df7078b295%40gmail.com

I'm proposing something like the attached.  Ideally, there would be a central
place to put details, and the other places could refer to that.

Since the autoanalyze patch was reverted, this should be easily applied to
backbranches, which is probably most of its value.

Cleaned up and attached as a .patch.

The patch implementing autoanalyze on partitioned tables should revert relevant
portions of this patch.

I've pushed the last version, and backpatched it to 10 (not sure I'd
call it a bugfix, but I certainly agree with Justin it's worth
mentioning in the docs, even on older branches).

I happened to spot a small typo in this commit in the ANALYZE docs, and have
just pushed a fix all the way down to 10 as per the original commit.

I'd like to suggest an improvement to this.  The current wording could
be read to mean that dead tuples won't get cleaned up in partitioned tables.


By the way, where are the statistics of a partitioned tables used?  The actual
tables scanned are always the partitions, and in the execution plans that
I have seen, the optimizer always used the statistics of the partitions.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Subject: [PATCH] Improve autovacuum doc on partitioned tables

The documentation mentioned that autovacuum doesn't process
partitioned tables, but it was unclear about the impact.
The old wording could be interpreted to mean that there are
problems with dead tuple cleanup on partitioned tables.
Clarify that the only potential problem is autoanalyze, and
that statistics for the partitions will be gathered.

For example, it is used to estimate selectivity of join clause:

CREATE TABLE test (id integer, val integer) PARTITION BY hash (id);
CREATE TABLE test_0 PARTITION OF test
   FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 2, remainder 0);
CREATE TABLE test_1 PARTITION OF test
   FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 2, remainder 1);

INSERT INTO test (SELECT q, q FROM generate_series(1,10) AS q);
VACUUM ANALYZE test;
INSERT INTO test (SELECT q, q%2 FROM generate_series(11,200) AS q);
VACUUM ANALYZE test_0,test_1;

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF, SUMMARY OFF)
SELECT * FROM test t1, test t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.val;
VACUUM ANALYZE test;
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF, SUMMARY OFF)
SELECT * FROM test t1, test t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.val;

Here without actual statistics on parent table we make wrong prediction.
