Subject: PG 9.5 2 tables same DDL with diff size

HI List

I am trying to understand the following :

have 2 identical PG cluster on diff hosts, same postgresql.conf, same db schema :

same tale DDL and row counts but different size ( 14GB diff ), I run reindex and full vacuum analyze, but I can not decrease the size of larger table(50GB) to match the size in second

PG cluster.

any tips what can make this 2 tables to have diff size except the host ( same OS and PG version 9.5.3)?

Thank you

Table is still bloated because of some long running transactions, which don't allow full vacuum to do its job?
