Hi Laurenz, Thank you! What are reasons for conflicts? Based on documentation seems that the only reason can be that vacuum removed unused tuples that are in use at standby host and due to that standby host cannot apply modifications while blocking query either finishes or will be terminated. isnt it? Or there can be some other reasons? I just wondering what would be impact when I increase value for autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor in order force vacuuming process postpone the clean up process.
