When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v7] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v14] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is happening.
Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL".

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v9] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v10] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v11] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v16] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v13] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v5] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v17] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v11] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-02-28 06:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v8] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2020-02-28 06:52 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is happening.
Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL".

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v19] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-07-07 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-07-07 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-07-07 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-07-07 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-07-07 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-07-07 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v21] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-07-07 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-07-07 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v22] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-15 04:41 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-15 04:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v22] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-15 04:41 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-15 04:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-15 04:41 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-15 04:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-15 04:41 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-15 04:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v23] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-30 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-30 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v23] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-30 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-30 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.

* [PATCH v24] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2022-11-30 02:51 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2022-11-30 02:51 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v28] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v28] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v25] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v27] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v28] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v29] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH v29] Make End-Of-Recovery error less scary
@ 2023-03-07 05:55 Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 39+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2023-03-07 05:55 UTC (permalink / raw)

When recovery in any type ends, we see a bit scary error message like
"invalid record length" that suggests something serious is
happening. Actually if recovery meets a record with length = 0, that
usually means it finished applying all available WAL records.

Make this message less scary as "reached end of WAL". Instead, raise
the error level for other kind of WAL failure to WARNING.  To make
sure that the detection is correct, this patch checks if all trailing
bytes in the same page are zeroed in that case.

* [PATCH] Introduce an option to make logical replication database specific.
@ 2026-04-04 15:16 Antonin Houska <ah@cybertec.at>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-04-04 15:16 UTC (permalink / raw)

By default, the logical decoding assumes access to shared catalogs, so the
snapshot builder needs to consider cluster-wide XIDs during startup. That in
turn means that, if any transaction is already running (and has XID assigned),
the snapshot builder needs to wait for its completion, as it does not know if
that transaction performed catalog changes earlier.

Possible problem with this concept is that if REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is running
in some database, backends running the same command in other databases get
stuck until the first one has committed. Thus only as single backend in the
cluster can run REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) at any time. Likewise, REPACK
(CONCURRENTLY) can block walsenders starting on behalf of subscriptions
throughout the cluster.

This patch adds a new option to logical replication output plugin, to declare
that it does not use shared catalogs (i.e. catalogs that can be changed by
transactions running in other databases in the cluster). In that case, no
snapshot the backend will use during the decoding needs to contain information
about transactions running in other databases. Thus the snapshot builder only
needs to wait for completion of transactions in the current database.

Currently we only use this option in the REPACK background worker. It could
possibly be used in the plugin for logical replication too, however that would
need thorough analysis of that plugin.

The patch bumps WAL version number, due to a new field in xl_running_xacts.
