More information found. After the hang connection appears, I noticed there were several hundreds of connections of the same user. Since I use pgbouncer and I only set the pool size to 50 for each user, this is very strange. I checked the pgbouncer side, 'show pools' showed the active server connection count is less than 50(only 35 actually). I also checked the client port which is shown in pg process list. It is not used at pgbouncer side when I did the check. So I stopped pgbouncer then the connection count from the user drops slowly. Finally all those connections disappeared. After that I restarted pgbouncer and it looks good again. With this solution, I at least don't have to kill pg when the problem happens. But anyone has a clue why this happens? What I need to check for the root cause? One thing I forgot to check is the network status of those orphan connections at pg side. I will check it next time and see if they are in abnormal status.
