Re: replay pause vs. standby promotion

Thank you!

Honestly, I forgot that the promotion is documented in high-availability.sgml as:

> Before failover, any WAL immediately available in the archive or in pg_wal will be
> restored, but no attempt is made to connect to the master.

I mistakenly thought that promote should be "immediately"...

> If a promotion is triggered while recovery is paused, the paused state ends and a promotion continues.

Could we add a few words in func.sgml to clarify the behavior? Especially for users from my example above. Something like:

> If a promotion is triggered while recovery is paused, the paused state ends, replay of any WAL immediately available in the archive or in pg_wal will be continued and then a promotion will be completed.
