Hello All,I am running 9.4 on Centos.I have three servers, one master and two slaves. The slaves have the following recovery.confstandby_mode = 'on'primary_conninfo = 'user=postgres host=mastervip port=5432'restore_command = 'scp -o BatchMode=yes postgres@backuphost:/archived_wals/%f %p'recovery_target_timeline= 'latest'Is there any way to combine following
- a master switch (ie: if node1 dies and node2 is promoted then node3 follows node2)
- using a WAL archive, such that if node2 goes down for two days it will get WALs from the archive if they are no longer on the master
At the moment the master switch works fine, but if I was to have a WAL archive with multiple timelines in it then I would end up in the newest timeline.
The timeline switch would happen whenever do a standby promotion (or PITR) in which case you want the 2nd standby to follow the newly promoted master i.e. it should be following the new timeline.
I suppose what I want is the following:If I am a streaming replica only follow streamed timeline switches, not archive timeline switches.
I am trying to guess when would these two be different (unless there are two different masters writing to the same archive which I suppose is wrong anyways).
Can you write down an example for clarity so that others can understand your scenario better?
Obviously if I am not a streaming replica I need to follow archive timeline switches so I don't break PIT recovery.Possible?
