I have running Postgresql 9.4 and... if i have a table with following configuration:autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.0, autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor=0.0, autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=1000, autovacuum_analyze_threshold=1000, autovacuum_enabled=trueWhy autovacuum is not started if the table has more than 1000 inserts???
Inserts do not generate obsolete tuples, and so are not counted against the "vacuum threshold" as described here:
But inserts can change the data distributions, so do count against "analyze threshold".
Due to index-only-scans and freeze maps, there are reasons to revisit this topic, so that insert only tables do get vacuumed and not just analyzed. But that re-think has yet to be finished, and certainly won't be back-ported to 9.4.
