Robert Haas 9ce346eabf Report progress of startup operations that take a long time.
Users sometimes get concerned whe they start the server and it
emits a few messages and then doesn't emit any more messages for
a long time. Generally, what's happening is either that the
system is taking a long time to apply WAL, or it's taking a
long time to reset unlogged relations, or it's taking a long
time to fsync the data directory, but it's not easy to tell
which is the case.

To fix that, add a new 'log_startup_progress_interval' setting,
by default 10s. When an operation that is known to be potentially
long-running takes more than this amount of time, we'll log a
status update each time this interval elapses.

To avoid undesirable log chatter, don't log anything about WAL
replay when in standby mode.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
