Thread: [GENERAL] vacuum on streaming replication

[GENERAL] vacuum on streaming replication

From

Hi

setup a cluster, with streaming replication and hot stand by

the idea is to use the stand by to do queries whilst the primary is doing inserts.

But I noticed the stats on the stand by server don't update, nor can I run vacuum against it as its in recovery mode.

So how do update the stats and how will it affect my queries ?

The standby is read only, vacuum runs on the master and replicated to the standby. Analyse as well.

Please note as well that if hot_standby_feedback is enabled, the
cleanup done by VACUUM on the primary is influenced as well so as
tuples that a standby may need to avoid conflicts for its transactions
are not removed. So VACUUM may result in less cleanup depending on the
read load on the standby.

Also that replication slots provide standby feedback and may further delay vacuuming when the standby is offline.
