PostgreSQL数据中`pg_logical`目录的用途是什么？

我在测试我设置的Postgresql 9.4集群的故障转移时偶然发现了这个错误.在这里,我正在努力推动奴隶成为新的主人：

$repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --verbose standby promote

pg_logical / snapshots dir实际上存在于主节点上,它是空的.

UPD：我只是手动创建了空目录pg_logical / snapshots和pg_logical / mappings,服务器已经启动而没有抱怨. repmgr待机克隆似乎在同步时省略了这个目录.但问题仍然存在,因为我只是好奇这个目录是什么,也许我在设置中遗漏了一些东西.简单谷歌搜索它没有产生任何有意义的结果.

这是 new logical changeset extraction / logical replication feature in 9.4.

这不应该发生,但是……它暗示了一个重要的错误,可能是repmgr.我会等待细节(repmgr版本等).

更新：已确认,it’s a repmgr bug.它已在git master中修复(并且在此报告之前)并将在下一个版本中修复.考虑到这个问题的重要性,哪个最好很快.
