# Test recovering to a point-in-time using WAL archive, such that the # target point is physically in a WAL segment with a higher TLI than # the target point's TLI. For example, imagine that the following WAL # segments exist in the WAL archive: # # 000000010000000000000001 # 000000010000000000000002 # 000000020000000000000003 # # The timeline switch happened in the middle of WAL segment 3, but it # was never archived on timeline 1. The first half of # 000000020000000000000003 contains the WAL from timeline 1 up to the # point where the timeline switch happened. If you now perform # archive recovery with recovery target point in that first half of # segment 3, archive recovery will find the WAL up to that point in # segment 000000020000000000000003, but it will not follow the # timeline switch to timeline 2, and creates a timeline switching # end-of-recovery record with TLI 1 -> 3. That's what this test case # tests. # # The comments below contain lists of WAL segments at different points # in the tests, to make it easier to follow along. They are correct # as of this writing, but the exact WAL segment numbers could change # if the backend logic for when it switches to a new segment changes. # The actual checks are not sensitive to that.
