From 2c8a4e9be2730342cbca85150a2a9d876aa77ff6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Riggs Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 19:22:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Wake WALSender to reduce data loss at failover for async commit. WALSender now woken up after each background flush by WALwriter, avoiding multi-second replication delay for an all-async commit workload. Replication delay reduced from 7s with default settings to 200ms and often much less, allowing significantly reduced data loss at failover.
