Hi,
While checking whether I could reproduce the replication delay reported by Michael Paquier I found this very nice tidbit: In a pretty trivial replication setup of only streaming replication I can currently easily reproduce this: standby# BEGIN;SELECT * FROM foo; BEGIN id | data ----+------ standby=# SELECT relation::regclass, locktype, mode FROM pg_locks; relation | locktype | mode ----------+------------+----------------- pg_locks | relation | AccessShareLock foo_pkey | relation | AccessShareLock foo | relation | AccessShareLock | virtualxid | ExclusiveLock | virtualxid | ExclusiveLock (5 rows) primary# DROP TABLE foo; DROP TABLE standby# SELECT relation::regclass, pid, locktype, mode FROM pg_locks; relation | pid | locktype | mode ----------+-------+------------+--------------------- pg_locks | 28068 | relation | AccessShareLock foo_pkey | 28068 | relation | AccessShareLock foo | 28068 | relation | AccessShareLock | 28068 | virtualxid | ExclusiveLock | 28048 | virtualxid | ExclusiveLock foo | 28048 | relation | AccessExclusiveLock (6 rows) standby# SELECT * FROM foo; ERROR: relation "foo" does not exist LINE 1: select * from foo; ^ Note the conflicting locks held on relation foo by 28048 and 28068. I don't immediately know which patch to blame here? Looks a bit like broken fastpath locking, but I don't immediately see anything in c00dc337b87 that should cause this?
