Description:

If autovacuum is running a VACUUM to prevent wraparound on a certain table,
it looks like it blocks TRUNCATE of that table, which would obviate the need
for the VACUUM in the first place (and could happen much more quickly). This
seems like a usability wart at best--one has to instead kill the autovacuum
(e.g., via pg_cancel_backend) and then TRUNCATE. This is especially
inconvenient when the user trying to truncate does not have permission to
kill (or even see!) the wraparound VACUUM. Would it be possible to have
autovacuum yield to a TRUNCATE in this situation?
