Bug reference:      13837
Logged by:          Alain Laporte
Email address:      alain.laporte12345@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.5
Operating system:   Linux
Description:

Hi,

I use PostgreSQL 9.4.5 and I have activated the parameter
track_commit_timestamp to use BDR (0.9.3) and to be able to replicate two
databases. A directory pg_committs was created (this directory is named
pg_commit_ts in PostgreSQL 9.5 =>
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/storage-file-layout.html), but,
his content is not periodically deleted (all files stays after 2 weeks of
running).

I'm not sure if it's a bug (in PostgreSQL or BDR) or if my configuration is
wrong. So, see bellow my configuration:
