I'd think client-side, we have an existing implementation with the parallel pg_restore option. Don't know (yet) how easy it is to reuse that code… > Oh, and this might be the use-case for integrating the streaming log > code as well :-) But if we plan to do that, perhaps we should pick a > different name for the binary?

Then yes, my idea about it is that it should become the default archive client we ship with PostgreSQL. And grow into offering a way to be the default restore command too. I'd see the current way that the standby can switch between restoring from archive and from a live stream as a first step into that direction.
