Re: AW: What do you do with a long running rollback

Thanks for the support.  It looks like the transaction cleared off over the weekend.

Really?  Rollback is O(1) in Postgres.

I could possibly believe that it's blocked on a lock, but even that would be a bug, because transaction abort should never try to take any new locks.

A perhaps-more-plausible theory is that you've enabled synchronous commit but your replica is failing to ack the transmission of the abort's WAL record.

What are you looking at exactly?
