Hi:

I have a perl/dbi script that's loading a lot of data into a DB (probably about 
8,000,000 records).  pg_stat_activity shows the script's activity alongside 
another process with current_query as...

autovacuum: ANALYZE public.instance_pins

The total instance_pins table cardinality is about 60,000,000.  The script 
inserts records but never updates or deletes anything.  And before the script 
runs, the table is truncated.  The script's process seems to be stalled in the 
meantime.

This is a new phenomena as of yesterday. The only change is that I added an 
index on that table.  But I created the new index yesterday (create index...) 
and it completed OK.

What does this message mean in that context?  Is this indicative of someting 
being misconfigured in the DB?

version 8.3.4 on Linux.

Thanks !
