For "finish" I mean get out of space (in other write-heavy tables) or high CPU usage (due to slow index scan checking the same rows again and again). Also, you REPACK one table - and add a lot of bloat in others, in some cases with negative impact in total. But yes, agree about pg_squeeze here - if it is usable with such a long transaction - REPACK CONCURRENTLY will be too. Mikhail.
