Thank you all - that's really useful :-)
The other query that gets blocked behind the vacuum is the below (truncated).
This query is generated by jdbc in this method:
org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo(AbstractJdbc2DatabaseMetaData.java:4023)
Is JDBC doing anything else before issuing this?
Even though this is a read only query, is it also expected to be blocked behind the vacuum? Is there a way of getting indexes for a table which won't be blocked behind a vacuum?
Table 13.2 here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/explicit-locking.html
shows the conflicts with SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE(vacuum).
pg_locks:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/view-pg-locks.html
shows locks being held. So next time it happens I would take a look and
see if you can work backwards from there.
You could directly access the index information using:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/catalog-pg-index.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/catalog-pg-class.html
Thank you all again,
Tim

This query is cut off so cannot say whether it is the issue or not.
