8.0.0beta3 vacuum analyze

[Ed L.]

I *think* I'm seeing "vacuum analyze" queries launched automatically on an
8.0.0beta3 (unless I have a rogue autovac running that I haven't spotted).
Is this something new in 8.0 and to be expected?

My settings:

#vacuum_cost_delay = 0 # 0-1000 milliseconds
#vacuum_cost_page_hit = 1 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_page_miss = 10 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_page_dirty = 20 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_limit = 200 # 0-10000 credits

No.
#vacuum_cost_delay = 0 # 0-1000 milliseconds
#vacuum_cost_page_hit = 1 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_page_miss = 10 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_page_dirty = 20 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_limit = 200 # 0-10000 credits

Vacuum cost delay affects the way that VACUUM behaves, not the frequency
with which it is executed.

#vacuum_cost_delay = 0 # 0-1000 milliseconds
#vacuum_cost_page_hit = 1 # 0-10000 credits
#vacuum_cost_page_miss = 10 # 0-10000 credits

#vacuum_cost_limit = 200 # 0-10000 credits

None of this would cause vacuums to be initiated.

The above configuration settings allow making vacuums "relatively
lazy;" instead of them running full-bore, and killing cache/chewing
I/O, they can do a few blocks worth of work, and then sleep a bit.

They are all commented out, so they won't have _any_ effect.

Note that this "lazier vacuuming" can be run alongside ARC to get some
synergistic benefit:

- ARC prevents vacuums from trashing the shared memory cache;

- "lazy vacuum" / "vacuum delay" prevents vacuums from taking over
all I/O

Are you running Slony by any chance?

Not on the system in question. Problem has ceased.
