When certain parameters are changed on a physical replication primary, this is communicated to standbys using the XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE WAL record. The standby then checks whether its own settings are at least as big as the ones on the primary. If not, the standby shuts down with a fatal error. This patch changes this behavior for hot standbys to pause recovery at that point instead. That allows read traffic on the standby to continue while database administrators figure out next steps. When recovery is unpaused, the server shuts down (as before). The idea is to fix the parameters while recovery is paused and then restart when there is a maintenance window. Reviewed-by:
