In 8.4 and prior, WAL-logging could potentially be skipped whenever
archive_mode=off.  With streaming replication, this is now true only
if max_wal_senders=0.

rejection retains same message as before.

This prevents a rare, yet possible race condition at the exact moment
of transition from recovery to normal running.

libpq to send queries, making the waiting for responses interruptible on
platforms where PQexec() can't normally be interrupted by signals, such
as win32.

The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly
overhauled for 9.0.  In case there should be any doubt about whether
materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a
convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material
turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for
correctness.

Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.

Per Alex Hunsaker

Now doesn't report it is waiting until it actually is waiting,
plus message doesn't appear until at least 5 seconds wait, so
we avoid reporting the wait before we've given the archiver
a reasonable time to wake up and archive the file we just
created earlier in the function.
Also add new unconditional message to confirm safe completion.
Now a normal, healthy execution does not report waiting at
all, just safe completion.

through normal backends. Makes code clearer also, since we
avoid various Assert()s. Performance of snapshots taken
during recovery no longer depends upon number of read-only
backends.

reload and rotation signals, and a helper thread reads messages from the
pipe and writes them to the log file. However, server code isn't generally
thread-safe, so if both try to do e.g palloc()/pfree() at the same time,
bad things will happen. To fix that, use a critical section (which is like
a mutex) to enforce that only one the threads are active at a time.

which just indicates that we've reached the end of valid WAL found in
the standby.

identify the system time zone setting.  Per recent discussion.

it with the list we have in pgtz.c, showing any differences.

even when the expression is a query that returns no rows.

So far as I can tell, the only caller that actually fails when a garbage
OID is returned is exec_stmt_case(), which is new in 8.4 --- in all other
cases, we might make a useless trip through casting logic, but we won't
fail since the isnull flag will be set.  Hence, backpatch only to 8.4,
just in case there are apps out there that aren't expecting an error to
be thrown if the query returns more or less than one column.  (Which seems
unlikely, since the error would be thrown if the query ever did return a
row; but it's possible there's some never-exercised code out there.)

Per report from Mario Splivalo.

relcache reload works.  In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of
being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means
that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're
rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate,
resulting in crash or misbehavior.  Fix by ensuring that an entry being
rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal
if a cache flush occurs.  (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice
in such a scenario, but that's okay.)  It appears that the problem can only
arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of
a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation.  Per bug #5412
from Rusty Conover.

Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem.
I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the
rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later
branches anyway.

WAL archiving is lagging behind, we don't unnecessarily forbid streaming
the old not-yet-archived segments that are still perfectly valid. Per
suggestion from Fujii Masao.

doesn't take into account how far the WAL senders are. This way a hung
WAL sender doesn't prevent old WAL segments from being recycled/removed
in the primary, ultimately causing the disk to fill up. Instead add
standby_keep_segments setting to control how many old WAL segments are
kept in the primary. This also makes it more reliable to use streaming
replication without WAL archiving, assuming that you set
standby_keep_segments high enough.
