Missing timeline history file after execution of pg_upgrade - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi,

after execution of pg_upgrade is the timeline history file (i.e. 00000002.history) in the new database cluster missing.
Therefore,it is no longer possible to use this database cluster as the master for a streaming replication client. 

Test description:
-----------------
- Running postgres database (Version 9.3.4)

- Setting Up WAL Archiving for this database named "Database A"

- Making a base backup of "Database A"

- Crash of "Database A"

- Do a recovering using a "Continuous archive backup" of "Database A"
  (new timeline is created)

- Listing of data/pg_xlog (Database A) after recovering

- Install a new Postgres database (Version 9.3.4) named "Database B"

- Data transfer using pg_upgrade (Database A -> Database B)
  (pg_upgrade is not necessary, but it would be a standard procedure, that should work also with the same Postgres
version)

- Listing of data/pg_xlog (Database B)

- Setup a streaming replication client named "Database C" on "Database B"

- Error occurs:
  ... :  could not receive timeline history file from the primary server: ERROR:  could not open file
"pg_xlog/00000002.history":No such file or directory 


I have three questions:
1) Why pg_upgrade changed the timeline informations?
2) How do I get replication (Database B -> Database C) working?
3) Is this behavior intended. Is there a workaround for me?

Please help me to troubleshoot this problem. I will feedback any required information.


Thanks in advance
Christian
