Issue/Introduction

When using partition tables in Greenplum 7.x the warning message "unrecognized work item found: type 1" is frequently reported.

Cause

This was caused by a race condition in the autovacuum code which was introduced by a code change in version 7.0.0. 

Resolution

Fix

The message is just a warning and can be ignored for now.

A code fix is being developed. Expected release of the fix is Nov 2024.
