Dear Colleagues,
After a streaming standby has been down for a time, I know of two
options for it to catch up with the master:
1. The replica can fetch all the necessary WAL records via the
replication protocol from the master (unless max_slot_wal_keep_size is
not the default -1, all the required WAL archives should be available from
the master).
2. The replica can be provided with a restore_command and will fetch
all WAL files from the WAL archive before starting streaming WAL from
the master.
Which is the preferred way?
Of course if max_slot_wal_keep_size is limited, the second options seems
the only safe one.
OTOH, if the master does not write to a WAL archive, only the first
option is left to us.
