Hi hackers,
I think having number of index scans of the last vacuum in
pg_stat_all_tables can be helpful. This value shows how efficiently
vacuums have performed and can be an indicator to increase
maintenance_work_mem.
It was proposed previously[1], but it was not accepted due to the
limitation of stats collector. Statistics are now stored in shared
memory, so we got more rooms to store statistics. I think this
statistics is still valuable for some people, so I am proposing this
again.
Best wishes,
