Tom Lane 5fc78efcec Avoid throwing ERROR during WAL replay of DROP TABLESPACE. ... Although we will not even issue an XLOG_TBLSPC_DROP WAL record unless removal of the tablespace's directories succeeds, that does not guarantee that the same operation will succeed during WAL replay. Foreseeable reasons for it to fail include temp files created in the tablespace by Hot Standby backends, wrong directory permissions on a standby server, etc etc. The original coding threw ERROR if replay failed to remove the directories, but that is a serious overreaction. Throwing an error aborts recovery, and worse means that manual intervention will be needed to get the database to start again, since otherwise the same error will recur on subsequent attempts to replay the same WAL record. And the consequence of failing to remove the directories is only that some probably-small amount of disk space is wasted, so it hardly seems justified to throw an error. Accordingly, arrange to report such failures as LOG messages and keep going when a failure occurs during replay. Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was introduced. In principle such problems can occur in earlier releases, but Hot Standby increases the odds of trouble significantly. Given the lack of field reports of such issues, I'm satisfied with patching back as far as the patch applies easily.		2012-02-06 14:44:41 -05:00
