> I raised this issue on github several months ago and there was even a PR but it never maid it into mainline. Basically, workers tend to hang onto DB connections in Postgres for recording heartbeat.
> I'm running a cluster with 115 workers, each with 8 slots. My Postgres DB is configured to allow 1000 simultaneous connections. I should effectively be able to run 920 tasks at the same time, but am actually limited to only about 450-480 because of idle transactions from workers hanging on to DB connections.
> If I run the following query
> select count(*),state, client_hostname from pg_stat_activity group by state, client_hostname
> These are the results:
> count state client_hostname
> 1	active	(null)
> 1	idle	localhost
> 451	idle in transaction	(null)
> 446	idle	(null)
> 1	active	localhost
> The idle connections are all trying to run COMMIT
> The "idle in transaction" connections are all trying to run 
> SELECT job.id AS job_id, job.dag_id AS job_dag_id, job.state AS job_state, job.job_type AS job_job_type, job.start_date AS job_start_date, job.end_date AS job_end_date, job.latest_heartbeat AS job_latest_heartbeat, job.executor_class AS job_executor_class, job.hostname AS job_hostname, job.unixname AS job_unixname 
> FROM job 
> WHERE job.id = 213823 
>  LIMIT 1
> with differing job.ids of course.
