Both archive_command on master and restore_commands are set and working. Also wal_keep_segments is set. I see no point of failure - only delay in the case of high WAL traffic on master: - slave starts with restoring WALs from archive, - now, it connects to master and notices, that for last master's WAL it needs previous one ("the issue"), - slave asks master for previous WAL and gets it - job done, streaming replication set, exit - if unable to get it (WAL traffic is high, and after restoring last WAL from archive and asking master for next one more than wal_keep_segments were recycled) it returns to looking WALs in archive.
