From 4637a6ac0b40fef701ab850de1be547b927c3013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org> Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2023 10:53:44 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] Silence "missing contrecord" error. Commit dd38ff28ad added a new error message "missing contrecord" when we fail to reassemble a record. Unfortunately that caused noisy messages to be logged by pg_waldump at end of segment, and by walsender when asked to shut down on a segment boundary. Remove the new error message, so that this condition signals end-of- WAL without a message. It's arguably a reportable condition that should not be silenced while performing crash recovery, but fixing that without introducing noise in the other cases will require more research. Back-patch to 15.
