Gilles,
Thank you, if we set wal_level in version <= 9.6 to "logical" what does it mean what does it do? do we still call it as logical replication? also how to tell if my replication is logical or physical. Please excuse me if i am asking stupid questions :) i am new to Postgres.

Hello,
yes, before postgres version 10, you must use an extension such as pg_logical
to build logical replication between master and slave.
For pg_logical, see the following links to help you start :

Objet: Re: Can master and slave on different PG versions?
Hi,
I was using pg_basebackup to rebuild slave, so pglogical is not in-built in postgres and I have to install?
Thanks

Hello,
How did you create the slave ? with pg_basebackup or via rsync ?
In any case, the slave MUST have been built with a backup/rsync made AFTER the master have been restarted when you changed
wal_level to logical.
Note, that you did so far, set wal_level=logical, is just a prerequisite to use logical replication.
After that, you need a tool which will extract the changes in the WALs from the master and will replay them on the slave.
Such tool is pg_logical : https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/pglogical/

Current wal_level setting: logical
Quite frankly i couldn't find proper document on how to set logical replication in 9.4, i think i am using pg_logical. All i did was set wal_level to logical and add primary_slot_name in recovery.conf. Do i need to install pglogical extension? i couldn't find one for amazon linux.
Thanks,

Hello again,
can you execute pg_controldata command on both Master and Slave
and check the following properties :
Database cluster state
wal_level setting
Also, if I understand correctly, you want to establish logical replication between your 9.4 master
and your 9.6 slave but you don't explain how ? using pg_logical ?

Any one tried this before?

David,
So initially i have physical replication configured, so to upgrade slave to 9.6 version i did converted master slave to logical replication and then try to upgrade the slave to 9.6. I am getting this error when i try to start the slave. Any idea?

Hi,
Is it possible to add 9.6 version Slave to 9.4 master?
Physical replication, no; Logical replication, yes - if the software you are using is compatible with both versions.
