There is a table in the db, whose index_scan count from pg_stat_all_tables
for this table seems to be too high, there are not that many queries being
executed against this table. Wondering how this count can be too high.
1. The db is up since 80 days so I assume these are cumulative stats
since last startup?
2. Could it be possible that a query is using this table joining other
tables, and this table is being probed multiple times in loops. Below is a
googled part of the plan showing parallel index only scan happened 5 times
for the index. I am assuming something of this sort is happening making the
index scan count going too high. Please let me know if that might be the
case.
-> Parallel Index Only Scan using
us_geonames_type_idx on us_geonames (cost=0.43..24401.17 rows=559758
width=4) (actual time=0.036..90.309 rows=447806 loops=5)
1. Is there any other possible explanation for this high count. I see
updates do increase this count but there are not those many updates.
Inserts and deletes do not seem to touch this counter.
