Do you have hot_standby_feedback set to "on" ?
It was off. Will research that. Thank you!
What is the parameter max_standby_archive_delay configured to ? This will pause WAL archives from being applied when queries are executed on the standby database.
It's set to the default, which is 30 seconds. For some reason I thought setting "max_standby_streaming_delay" to -1 would be sufficient.
At a high level, what's the difference between the "archive_delay" and "streaming_delay"? I will read up on streaming replication in the mean time.

This will pause WAL archives from being applied when queries are executed on the standby database.Why might that happen?This is pg 9.3.12. When it happens I see:
pg_dump: Dumping the contents of table "TABLE" failed: PQgetResult() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: canceling statement due to conflict with recovery
DETAIL: User query might have needed to see row versions that must be removed.
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.TABLE (COLUMNS) TO stdout;I suspect this is due to the clean up by VACUUM on primary.Regards,Venkata B NFujitsu Australia
