Okay, in that case, I guess it is better to run Analyze on master
after the upgrade is complete (including an upgrade for replicas).  If
you are worried about the performance of read-only replicas till the
time Analyze on the master in completed, you might want to use
--analyze-in-stages of vaccumdb and or use (-j njobs) along with it to
parallelize the operation.
