We struggled with our production settings on Postgres 9.3 today, only to realize, after a while, that the search_path change actually took effect via TCP/IP, but not unix socket, connections ever since the first reload.What Tom said...Alternatively maybe your Unix socket sessions are long lived but your TCP/IP ones are not - potentially going through a pooler that refreshes sessions. You need to describe more or provide repeatable evidence if we are to conclude that this is anything other than operator error.
Or not, since it does appear that the reload signal is propagated to active sessions and take effect after the most recent command finishes.
