Heikki Linnakangas cc2939f442 Don't archive bogus recycled or preallocated files after timeline switch.
After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that
are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they
become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have
a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them.
That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older
timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files.

This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or
when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery.

To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for
WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and
remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most
likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files
that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're
not needed to recover to the new timeline.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
