Is it possible stop/disable streaming replication without stopping or restarting either master or slave servers?
Since stopping or restarting the postgres servers would involve complete invalidation of the connection pool [Java/JEE app server pool] that may take a few minutes before the application becomes usable, it would be great if there is a way we can disable replication [for maintenance reasons like applying patches or upgrades, etc].
Are per-chance looking for pg_xlog_replay_pause() and pg_xlog_replay_resume() ?
