So to allow a standby to recover WAL files that are missing (using archives
or directly copying wall from the new master to the new standby) in order
to complete the timeline change, is a wrong approach, I mean is this not
safe in term of data not being corrupted? Because i tried this and this
seems to change the timeline on the new standby. For this i added following
to my recovery file:
restore_command = 'cp <pg_data_dir>/archivedir/%f %p'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
