PostgreSQL 11 Auto vacuum

Hello All,

How the Auto vacuum works on logical partition tables in PostgreSQL 11.

Currently, we are using database in PG10 with logical partition of tables and we are facing an performance issue due to large number of bloats.

Actually we have notice that Auto vacuum in PG10  keeps vacuuming the master tables and  that takes a lot of time and Don't go the child table to remove the dead tuples.

We are doing manually vacuum to overcome.

Regards,
Pawan

What do the logs say actually got done during these long running autovacuums? Is it feasible to increase the work allowed before autovacuum stops (autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit) or perhaps increase the number of workers? What is the update/deletes workload balance? That is, would it make sense to decrease the fillfactor on these tables such that you get more HOT (heap only tuple) updates and indexes are less bloated to get better performance that way? How often are you manually vacuuming?
