When the materialized view was refreshing concurrently, I saw the pg_lock like 
this: there was no response within 30 seconds when the api calls this query, 
and we got api time out.

sasanalytics=> select relation::regclass, * from pg_locks where not granted;

                     relation                      | locktype | database |  
relation  | page | tuple | virtualxid | transactionid | classid | objid | 
objsubid | virtualtransaction |  pid  |     mode      | granted | fastpath

When the materialized view was refreshing normally( without concurrently), I 
saw the following pg_locks: there was no response within 30 seconds when the 
api calls this query, and we got api time out.

sasanalytics=> select relation::regclass, * from pg_locks where not granted;

                     relation                      | locktype | database |

That sounds like a locking problem.  Have you looked into pg_locks
while this is happening, to see what may be waiting on what?
