Sorry, I don't known why it showed in wrong format, and try to correct it.

When I do PITR in a strange step, I get this FATAL:

2021-01-15 15:02:52.364 CST [14958] FATAL:  hot standby is not possible because wal_level was not set to "replica" or higher on the primary server
2021-01-15 15:02:52.364 CST [14958] HINT:  Either set wal_level to "replica" on the primary, or turn off hot_standby here.

The strange step is that I change wal_level to minimal after basebackup.

My question is that what's the mean of  [set wal_level to "replica" on the primary] in
HINT describe, I can't think over a case to solve this FATAL by set wal_level, I can
solve it by turn off hot_standby only.

Do you think we can do this code change?
