That's something on the server: a parallel worker process is waiting to send data to the parallel leader process. Look for the "leader_pid" column in the "pg_stat_activity" line above and see what that process is doing. I wouldn't worry about a parellel worker in that state, as long as there is no problem with the parallel leader. Yours, Laurenz Albe
