In the case of repeatable read the standby will wait before applying

conflicts in this case.
Standby will receive but will not apply? Or master will not vacuum needed by
standby pages? It seems that the second one is happening because replication
lag on standby does not increase while issuing such repeatable read
transaction.
Standby will receive the record but not replay it until the
transaction doing REPEATABLE READ transactions that needs those rows
commits on the standby. The WAL flush position on the standby
continues to move on.
By replication lag on standby I mean exactly replay_location, not flush_location.
This depends of course on
max_standby_streaming_delay which may decide or not to force the
transaction to cancel if it takes too long. Someone feel free to
correct me if I am missing something here.
Well, the initial problem is that in read commited mode heavy SELECT-statement hits max_standby_streaming_delay but in repeatable read mode doesn’t. My question is if it is expected behavior? If yes, why is it so?
Thanks for your response!
