Hi, hackers,
I was recently reviewing the KeepFileRestoredFromArchive() function and came
across a section that raised a question for me:
/*
* Create .done file forcibly to prevent the restored segment from being
* archived again later.
*/
if (XLogArchiveMode != ARCHIVE_MODE_ALWAYS)
XLogArchiveForceDone(xlogfname);
else
XLogArchiveNotify(xlogfname);
My understanding is that the WAL segment in this context has just been
restored from the archive.
However, for archive_mode=always, the code calls XLogArchiveNotify(xlogfname),
which, if I understand correctly, signals the archiver to re-archive this
already-archived WAL segment.
Is there a specific scenario or benefit I'm overlooking?
