Subject: Process 11812 still waiting for ExclusiveLock on extension of relation
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:57:52 -0700
Message-ID: <20120717155752.GC38474@mr-paradox.net> (raw)
Howdy,
I've got a couple of tables that are taking a little longer than normal to extend, resulting
in some slow inserts.
They're fairly large tables, ~200GB pg_total_relation_size (90GB for just the table)
I suspect that this is related to a sustained heavy load that would stop autovacuum from
getting at this table... Does that sound plausible?
I'm wondering what options I have to smooth over these episodes / speed up the extensions.
I'm thinking of something like, CLUSTER or VACUUM FULL (those take quite a run so I'd like
some direction on it before i TiaS =) )
I suspect that Partitioning would help. Any other ideas?
