86% of the updates are HOT updates!
The difference between the first and second line of this image above is that
366 updates happened of which 299 where HOT. And a vacuum on the table was
run.
Look at the retuples number change after the vacuum!
Open transactions... how does this impact those numbers?
The very simple version:
Because of MVCC a particular row may have many tuple versions
associated with it. If those tuple versions are visible to open
transactions they may not be marked for removal until those transactions
are completed.
Others on this list are more capable than I of filling in the fine detail.
