"xlog" is not a particularly clear abbreviation for "write-ahead log", and it sometimes confuses users into believe that the contents of the "pg_xlog" directory are not critical data, leading to unpleasant consequences. So, rename the directory to "pg_wal". This patch modifies pg_upgrade and pg_basebackup to understand both the old and new directory layouts; the former is necessary given the purpose of the tool, while the latter merely avoids an unnecessary backward-compatibility break. We may wish to consider renaming other programs, switches, and functions which still use the old "xlog" naming to also refer to "wal". However, that's still under discussion, so let's do just this much for now. Discussion: CAB7nPqTeC-8+zux8_-4ZD46V7YPwooeFxgndfsq5Rg8ibLVm1A@mail.gmail.com Michael Paquier
