I prefer that in the context of HS because the Startup process is waiting for things to die. Given that their death may not be handled sweetly, I would not wish to rely on that to wake Startup. In the other two cases you mention all processes are working together normally and we aren't expecting the other processes to die. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
