Are the values for the log locations really relevant for backup connections? And if they are, we need to document it :) ISTM we are just more or less leaking random data out there?
I'm talking about the actual state=backup connection - not the connection if we're using -x with pg_basebackup. Where we have output like:
state | backup
sent_location | 0/0
write_location | 2/76CE0000
flush_location | 2/76CC0000
replay_location | 2/76CBF938
I'm thinking those fields should probably all be NULL for state=backup?
In particular, it seems that in InitWalSenderSlot, we only initialize the sent location. Perhaps this is needed?
