Subject: could recovery_target_timeline=latest be the default in standby mode?
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2018 10:53:10 +0100
Message-ID: <6dd2c23a-4162-8469-410f-bfe146e28c0c@2ndquadrant.com> (raw)
Is there ever a reason why you would *not* want
recovery_target_timeline=latest in standby mode?
pg_basebackup -R doesn't set it. That seems suboptimal.
Perhaps this could be the default in standby mode, or even the implicit
default, ignoring the recovery_target_timeline setting altogether.
How could we make things simpler here?
