Hi, Currently the end-of-recovery checkpoint can be much slower, impacting the server availability, if there are many replication slot files XXXX.snap or map-XXXX to be enumerated and deleted. How about skipping the .snap and map- file handling during the end-of-recovery checkpoint? It makes the server available faster and the next regular checkpoint can deal with these files. If required, we can have a GUC (skip_replication_slot_file_handling or some other better name) to control this default being the existing behavior.
Thoughts? Regards, Bharath Rupireddy.
