One problem with the otherwise entirely wonderful HS/SR pairing is the
whole business of the config parameters. They feel too bottom-up.
Individually, each one makes sense but if you look at them on a page
they don't say master/slave replication to me.
What about something like:
# Primary
archive_mode = producer
archive_producer_command = 'cp "%p" .../"%f"'
max_consumers = 5
# Standby
archive_mode = producer, consumer
archive_producer_command = 'cp "%p" .../"%f"'
archive_consumer_command = 'cp "%p" .../"%f"'
consume_from = 'host=... user=...'
Three other points that struck me:
1. Why have a separate recovery.conf file rather than just put the
commands inline? We can use the include directive to have them in a
separate file if required.
2. Why have a finish.replication file, rather than "SELECT
pg_finish_replication()"?
