pgsql: Wake WALSender to reduce data loss at failover for async commit. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Wake WALSender to reduce data loss at failover for async commit.
WALSender now woken up after each background flush by WALwriter, avoiding
multi-second replication delay for an all-async commit workload.
Replication delay reduced from 7s with default settings to 200ms and often
much less, allowing significantly reduced data loss at failover.
