Hello!

Autovacuum daemon performs vacuum when the number of rows updated/deleted (n_dead_tuples) reaches some threshold. Similarly it performs analyze when the number of rows changed in any way (incl. inserted). When a table is mostly insert-only, its visibility map is not updated as vacuum threshold is almost never reached, but analyze does not update visibility map.

Why could it be a bad idea to run vacuum after some number of any changes including inserts, like analyze? Or at least make it tunable by user (add a second bunch of paramters to control second vacuum threshold, disabled by default)?

Best regards,
  Alexey Bashtanov
