I'm not against HS being on-by-default. But if it is, and the WAL
it's consuming doesn't have the HS-records by default, then I want PG to
consider that a problem, make sure I absolutely know it's a problem...

I agree with Heikki that the action-at-a-distance of HS
trying-to-work-but-maybe-not-this-time-depending-on-the-master is an
undesirable state...

Like everything else in PG, I'ld like it to "work completely", or tell
me there is a problem.

That said, I'ld probalby be happy with PG 9 having a "default" config
of:

wal_mode = hot_standby
recovery_connections = on

Make it set to generate enough WAL and actually do recovery connections.

But also make the recover_connections boolean really mean what it s
called. It's not called try_recovery_connections

a.
