Trying to optimize the Elapsed Time (ET) of this query. Currently, it is hovering around 3 hrs.
Running a 'vaccum analyse' had no effect on ET. Even forcing an 'indexonly' scan by disabling 'enable_seqscan', still around the 3 hrs.
The table is around 4.6B rows,
explain select cit_id, cl_value from reflink.citation_locators where cl_value = '1507617681' and vclf_number = 1 ;
