Using 9.3 as a slave to 9.1 for upgrade purposes

От

As a way of upgrading, I'd like to setup a 9.3 cluster as a slave to a 9.1 master so that I can then promote that 9.3 instance to master, using streaming replication.

Curious if this is a possible/advisable route.

Streaming replication has to use the same major PG version. You can do
that with Slony.

Not possible with streaming replication. It is a binary format so the
version and system architecture have to be the same on both sides of the
equation. You would need to use another replication method, say
something like Slony. For more information see here:
