Poking this. Looking back through the discussion, this issue has been reproduced by multiple people. The patch still applies to HEAD without issues. I have no experience with PostgreSQL replication, so I'm not qualified to really review this. From what I can see with the patch, it's just a small block of code added to /src/backend/replication/walreceiver.c to handle some edge case where the WAL file no longer exists or something.
I think one thing that would help move this forward is if we edited the patch to include a comment explaining why this new code is necessary. There's lots of great discussion on this issue in the email list, so if a summary of that gets into the code I think it would make the patch easier to understand and make the new walreceiver.c less confusing. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
