pg_rewind (https://github.com/vmware/pg_rewind) is what you need.

You can still solve hint bit problem by enabling new checksum feature, But
you have to face consequences such as performance overhead.
You can find the discussion about that on following link:

Exactly, using checksums is mandatory or you could finish with corrupted data after rewinding a data directory. Any help in testing or proposing patches for pg_rewind is welcome. It is still in early development.
