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

This is correct.

This is correct.

> Now, I want to bring up the original Master (5432) as a new Standby. Hence, I create basebackup and pgpool_remote_start scripts in the cluster directory of new Master(5433). Before I run pcp_recovery_node, how about the following things?

I don't follow you.

> - recovery.done in cluster of new Master (5433). This needs to be removed Or?

It does not.  In fact, it should not be removed.

 If yes, who will remove it?
> - where will recovery.conf will reside now? in cluster directory of 5432 or 5433?

In the old master/new standby.
