Hi
Since I have posted this nothing really changed. I am starting to panic (mildly).
The source (production) runs :

Above does not impact production activity a lot.
On the test stand (where I pg_basebackupped from production and also upgraded to 9.6) I see:
relname | mode | granted | substr | query_start | age
-----------------------------------+--------------------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+------------------------

The test stand where I was to test schema upgrade is stuck cuz vacuum is blocking.
Production settings follow:
version 9.3.9
max_connections = 512
shared_buffers = 8192MB
temp_buffers = 1024MB
work_mem = 512MB
#maintenance_work_mem = 2048MB
maintenance_work_mem = 4096MB #increased after 3 days of vacuum analyze running
max_stack_depth = 2MB
vacuum_cost_delay = 50ms
synchronous_commit = off
wal_buffers = 245MB
wal_writer_delay = 10s
checkpoint_segments = 64
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
random_page_cost = 2.0
effective_cache_size = 94GB
wal_level = hot_standby
hot_standby = on
archive_mode = on
archive_command = '/usr/loca/bin/wal_backup.sh %p %f'
max_wal_senders = 4
wal_keep_segments = 1024
max_standby_streaming_delay = 7200s
So, the problem : I cannot do schema change until vacuum has finished, and there
seems to be no end in sight for vacuum to finish throwing off our software upgrade plans.
Anything can be done here?
Thanks,
Dmitry

It is a autocacuum to prevent wraparound, you can't stop or avoid that.
