RE: [DOC] Fix for the missing pg_stat_progress_cluster view phase column value

Thank you for your response.

The 'writing new heap' phase seems to appear only when the CLUSTER statement is executed. When I read the table_relation_copy_for_cluster function, it seems to be a phase that is executed only during sorting.

Good catch!

By the way the table mentions the phases common to CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL. I wonder why some of them are described as "CLUSTER is" and others are "The command is"..
