We do talk about 'warm standby' in the docs:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/warm-standby.html
...altho we do not precisely say how to setup this up as opposed to the
'hot' variant. In fact it is pretty easy to (accidentally) get a warm
standby by forgetting to set :
standby_mode = 'on'
in recovery.conf
