Well, I want to know whether the problem I refered to
in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-12/msg01641.php
is must-fix or not.
This problem is a corollary of the deadlock problem. This is less catstrophic
but more likely to happen.
If you leave this problem, for example, any long-running transactions,
holding any cursors in whatever tables, have a possibility of freezing
whole recovery work in HotStandby node until the transaction commit.
