vacuumlazy.c contains a hint "Consider compacting this relation" but AFAICT,
there is no indication anywhere how "compacting" is supposed to be achieved.
I guess this means VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, but I don't think the hint can be
processed effectively by a user.

I once had an online/concurrent/non-locking compacting script, which did
for each const_pk_col_with_largest_ctid staring starting from end of
relation
UPDATE rel
SET pk_col=pk_col
WHERE pk_col = const_pk_col_with_largest_ctid
until the tuple moved to another page as determined by
SELECT ctid FROM rel where pk_col=const_pk_col_with_largest_ctid
if the tuple moved to a larger page number then it was time for another
lazy vacuum.
this compacted the live data in the table and if done enough times, the
lazy vacuum did actually shorten the file.

Larger or smaller?
There's a TODO about allowing control over what pages in a relation
you get back from FSM that would make this a lot easier. In the case
of a bloated table, you'd want to have the FSM favor handing out
pages at the beginning of the heap. If you combined that with a
special mode where new tuples would not be created on any page in the
last X percent of the heap, it would be trivial to clean up a bloated
table. Theoretically, you might be able to apply the same kind of
technique to cleaning up a bloated index.
BTW, the other reason to allow selecting where the FSM hands out data
is for keeping a table clustered. You might also be able to keep
indexes in a more optimal order on-disk (as I understand it, over
time the physical order of an index can become very different from
the index order).

Larger, smaller is the expected behaviour without vacuum.

FSM is consulted only in case the new tuple does not fit on the same
page as old. for clustering putposes, this should also be optional.

New message is:
errhint("Consider using VACUUM FULL on this relation or increasing the configuration parameter \"max_fsm_pages\".")));

The change of wording may be appropriate, but it is triggered when
if (vacrelstats->tot_free_pages > MaxFSMPages)
So if you VACUUM a 15+GB table and it has only 1% freespace then it will
still generate this message. Hopefully you'd agree that the message
would be inappropriate in that case.
It's also inappropriate because this message is generated *prior* to
doing lazy_truncate_heap(), which could easily remove lots of empty
pages anyhow. That might reduce it to less than MaxFSMPages anyhow, so
it can currently be triggered in wholly inappropriate situations.
So I suggest that we move this wording after lazy_truncate_heap() in
lazy_vacuum_rel() *and* we alter the hint so that it only suggests
VACUUM FULL if the table has 20% fragmentation, whatever its size.
Happy to drop a patch for this, if people agree.

Interesting. So if you have 1% free on a 15GB table, and that doesn't
fit into the free space, we emit the message. I would think the hint
is accurate, though. Are you saying they should increase FSM and not do
VACUUM FULL in those cases? Should we recommend the fsm increase before
the VACUUM FULL?

Yes, we should move the test if there is a better place.

Interesting. OK, so we have two message, one recommends both, and the
other just FSM increase.
