Description:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/warm-standby.html#STREAMING-REPLICATION
25.2.6. Replication Slots
Replication slots provide an automated way to ensure that the master does
not remove WAL segments until they have been received by all standbys, and
that the master does not remove rows which could cause a recovery conflict
even when the standby is disconnected.
In my test, master will remove rows when standby disconnect.
standby:
postgres=# begin transaction isolation level repeatable read ;
BEGIN
postgres=# select * from test;
id
----
1

1
(5 rows)
master:
delete from test;
postgres=# vacuum verbose test;
INFO: vacuuming "public.test"
INFO: "test": found 0 removable, 5 nonremovable row versions in 1 out of 1
pages
DETAIL: 5 dead row versions cannot be removed yet.
There were 0 unused item pointers.
Skipped 0 pages due to buffer pins.
0 pages are entirely empty.
