Promoting a cascading standby terminates the immediate downstream replication
connections which it serves. This is because the timeline becomes different
between standbys, and they can no longer continue replication. The
- effected standby(s) may reconnect to reestablish streaming replication.
+ affected standby(s) may reconnect to reestablish streaming replication.
To use cascading replication, set up the cascading standby so that it can
- accept replication connections, i.e., set max_wal_senders>,
- hot_standby> and authentication option (see
- and ).
- Also set primary_conninfo> in the downstream standby to point
- to the cascading standby.
