Hello, Autovacuum knows what % of a table needs to be cleaned - that is how it is triggered. When a vacuum runs we should calculate how many TIDs we will collect and therefore how many trips to the indexes we need for given memory. We can use the VM to find out how many blocks we'll need to

Hello, When we're in Phase2 or 3, don't we need to report the number of total page scanned or percentage of how many table pages scanned, as well? The total heap pages scanned need to be reported with phase 2 or 3. Complete progress report need to have numbers from each phase when applicable.

Hello, Unless I am missing something, I guess you can still keep the actual code that updates counters outside the core if you adopt an approach that Simon suggests. Yes. The code to extract progress information from VACUUM and storing in shared memory can be outside core even with

Hello, Maybe, For DBAs, It might be better to show vacuum progress in pg_stat_activity. (if we'd do, add a free-style column like progress ?) This column might also be able to use for other long time commands like ANALYZE, CREATE/RE INDEX and COPY. To realize this feature, we certainly need to
