Indeed. I was thinking of a fix but couldn't find one yet. One idea I am considering is to allow catalog table locks after page lock but I think apart from hacky that also won't work because we still need to remove the check added for page locks in the deadlock code path in commit 3ba59ccc89 and may need to do something for group locking. Feel free to share any ideas if you have, I can try to evaluate those in detail. I think in the worst case we need to remove the changes added by 72e78d831a and 3ba59ccc89 which won't impact any existing feature but will add a hurdle in parallelizing other write operations or even improving the parallelism in vacuum (like allowing multiple workers for an index). -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
