Hi,
I've been reviewing HS/SR and have a couple of thoughts/notes:
- The recovery_done_command is not documented (that I can find, at 
least) in the documentation.
- There is (presently) no way to have PostgreSQL's standby node "clean 
up" unneeded WAL files (the %r parameter for archive_command).  I saw 
some talk about adding a 'archive_cleanup_command' to recovery.conf, but 
that doesn't seem to work (yet).  I think this should be listed as a 
to-do item on the wiki for this application (or if it was added after 
the alpha4 release, noted as a completed item.)  Without a way to 
cleanup archives, the wal archive could end up getting very large, and 
even fill up the file system it is on...
