[Pgpool-general] Is pgpool_walrecrunning needed in Master/Slave mode?

[Tatsuo Ishii]

> I read the 3.0.3 docs and found that pgpool_walrecrunning() should be used only in replication mode, and that too when somebody is using the failure/online recovery feature of pgPoll-II.

pgpool_walrecrunning is only usefull for streaming replication
mode in 3.0.x.

Now, pgpool-II waits for completing of the promotion to primary node because it did not work as we intended. But we still have a problem that pgpool-II waits while recovery_timeout, when there is no primary node(Kitagawa)

In pgpool-II 3.1 the function is not used anymore even in streaming
replication mode.
