Обсуждение: missing documentation for partial WAL files
The commit message for de76884 contains some important information about the purpose and use of the new .partial WAL files. But I don't see anything about this in the documentation or another user-visible place.We should probably add something.

Uh, some documentation around .ready files would be nice too. -- Peter Geoghegan

This makes sense, those files are exposed in the user's archives when the end of a timeline is reached at promotion. I think that this should be added in "Continuous archiving in standby" with a new paragraph, as the first paragraph argues about archive_mode = 'always' and the second about 'on'. What about the attached? > Uh, some documentation around .ready files would be nice too. Why? Users normally need to have no knowledge of that, those status files are managed only by the backend. -- Michael

Heikki talked about this at his PGCon presentation, and I thought that was pretty helpful stuff, but not everyone was there (or will remember what he said when the time comes that they need to know). -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Hopefully the audio or video of it will be posted eventually.. I was hoping to review it myself and to discuss the points he made in depth with David, to make sure we cover all of them (pretty sure we do, but good to verify). The link to the slides, at least, is here: http://www.pgcon.org/2015/schedule/attachments/379_PGCon2015-Warm-standby-done-right.pdf Thanks! Stephen
