I was looking at this code and found something in SyncRepWaitOnQueue
we declare a timeout variable that is a long and another that is a
boolean (this last one in the else part of the "if
(!IsOnSyncRepQueue())"), and then use the boolean one as if it were
the long one
+ else
+ {
+ bool release = false;
+ bool timeout = false;
+
+ SpinLockAcquire(&queue->qlock);
+
+ /*
+ * Check the LSN on our queue and if its moved far enough then
+ * remove us from the queue. First time through this is
+ * unlikely to be far enough, yet is possible. Next time we are
+ * woken we should be more lucky.
+ */
+ if (XLByteLE(XactCommitLSN, queue->lsn))
+ release = true;
+ else if (timeout > 0 &&
+ TimestampDifferenceExceeds(GetCurrentTransactionStopTimestamp(),
+ now,
+ timeout))
+ {
+ release = true;
+ timeout = true;
+ }
the other two things are on postgresql.conf.sample:
- we have two replication_timeout_client, obviously one of them should
be replication_timeout_server
- synchronous_replication_feedback is off by default, but docs says otherwise
i also have been testing this, until now the only issue i have found
is that if i set allow_standalone_primary to off and there isn't a
standby connected i need to stop the server with -m immediate which is
at least surprising
