Thread: Is this a bug?
Today one of Pgpool-II users reported an interesting fatal error message from PostgreSQL: FATAL: terminating connection due to conflict with recovery DETAIL: User was holding shared buffer pin for too long. HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. "User was holding shared buffer pin for too long" sounds unusual to me. Is this a bug? PostgreSQL version is 10.1 according to the user. Best regards, -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan English: http://www.sraoss.co.jp/index_en.php Japanese:http://www.sraoss.co.jp

Is this a bug? PostgreSQL version is 10.1 according to the user. Sounds normal to me. Maybe the message could use some work, but this is how hot standby works: if max_standby_archive_delay or max_standby_streaming_delay expires, whatever is blocking recovery gets blasted out of the way. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Is this a bug? PostgreSQL version is 10.1 according to the user. Sorry to be the grumpy guy: This isn't the -general list. Nor -bugs. And a quick search for it in the source code and/or search engines will show some hits as well. Greetings, Andres Freund

I didn't know that recovery conflict could happen even with buffer pin. I should have examined the source code first. Sorry for noise. Best regards, -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.
