I have some questions regarding hot standby + streaming replication (PG
9.0) : what is master/primary server behavior if archive_command fails
due to archive directory off line/unavailable?
Unarchived WAL files continue to accumulate in pg_xlog directory while
the archive directory is unavailable. Then, if pg_xlog directory is
filled up, the PostgreSQL server causes the PANIC error.
How about standby server behavior if restore command fails due to
archive_master directory not available?
After restore_command fails, the standby tries to read WAL file from
its pg_xlog directory. And, if there is no WAL file to recover in pg_xlog,
the standby tries to connect to the master and read the streamed WAL files
from the master.
Regards,
Thank you for all details.
For the last question I ' m still a bit confused: if master_archive off
line ( no archived WAL's available) what will be state of standby server ?
Basically we are trying to design a solution where WAL archived
directory is not a "single point of failure" for whole system ( we are
planing to have WAL archived master directory on a separate machine and
both server primary and standby will have read/write here) if this
servers fails , we want to be able to continue normal user operation
on master while standby server will have some latency.
