Put 9.4 on the new server. Replicate the db to it. When you're ready 
to switch, shut down the master, promote the new db, and then shut it 
down and pg_upgrade -k it to 9.6.


That does require the binaries from both versions to be on the new 
server for a while, but it'll give you the least downtime and it's a 
very simple replication setup.



This is the plan we're going to follow to migrate from 9.2 to 9.6, as 
this is the only way to achieve almost zero downtime. The cons are, 
despite what Alan has mentioned, that you need double space because you 
have to create a slave replica.

Choices:

1) Dump/restore.

2) Afore mentioned Slony.

3) The pglogical 
extension(https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/pglogical/pglogical-docs/). 
The forerunner to the built in logical replication in 10+.

Not clear if you want to add database to an existing 9.6 cluster or
create a new 9.6 cluster containing the 9.4 database?



Thank you!
