Re: pg_basebackup from 9.4-bdr to 9.4 results in corrupt index

body{font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px}Hello,

I'm working with a 9.4-bdr cluster and want to move away from BDR tech all together. So my idea was to follow instructions on http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/ to first strip the node from BDR making it into "regular" node and then moving the data from this node to official 9.4 instance.

Environment:

BDR_Node_1

BDR_Node_2

Regular_Node_1

Steps done on BDR_Node_2

1. Part node from BDR cluster http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/node-management-removing.html

2. Remove BDR from node http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/node-management-disabling.html

3. Create SR slot select pg_create_physical_replication_slot('new_cluster_node');

After this. Steps done on Regular_Node_1, which is 9.4.22

1. Init the new node with pg_basebackup with source being BDR_Node_1

2. Update recovery.conf and postgres.conf

3. Start it with pg_ctl

All seems to be working well, but for this:

select * from information_schema.sequences;

produces "[XX000] ERROR: cache lookup failed for index 899807" for all of the DBs that were configured with BDR with various OID.

I can not reproduce this error, when running query on any of the DBs on 9.4-bdr node.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this ?

Due to this I'm also unable to run pg_dump on new_cluster_node - it also results in the same error.

That said. For more context - If it worked, next steps would have been to

1. Deactivate virtual IP on BDR_Node_2

2. Check for no replication lag on BDR_Node_2 slot "new_cluster_node"

3. Promote Regular_Node_1

4. Activate virtual IP on BDR_Node_2

Build the new 9.4 cluster from there on.

Any ideas / comments will be much appreciated!
