HashGrowBucketsElect

Short Description

Waiting to elect a Parallel Hash participant to allocate more buckets.

Additional Information​

In parallel hash queries, a number of hash tables are used and both sides of the join are split into batches. Within each batch, buckets are used to group tuples. This wait is seen while electing a parallel hash participant to allocate more buckets.

How to reduce this wait​

Parallel queries are excellent at scanning large amounts of data the quickly returning results. Run in isolation or in a considered manner they are a useful tool.

Do not allow concurrent parallel queries from many users to flood system CPU or IO resources.

Adjust max_worker_process , max_parallel_workers and max_parallel_workers_per_gather to control response of your query and overall impact to the system.
