I see that wal_level = 'logical', and that is a problem for us as we already
use wal_level = 'hot_standby' on this installation as it replicates to another
server.
 
Is it possible to use pglogical together with hot_standby
streaming-replication?
 
Well, the wal_level change is just a matter of database restart: you got to do
that once in a while anyway, e.g. for minor version updates.  I would expect
you only need this wal_level on the walsender side, thus for pglogical_output,
the logical decoding plugin.

 
My point is that we cannot not have streaming-replication, so we need to keep
wal_level = 'hot_standby' AFAIU. Is there a way to do both streaming-replication
and pglogical for just replicating one of may databases in the same cluster?
 
But logical is "greater than" hot_standby, so you can still have streaming
replication with wal_level = logical.

 
This answers my initial question, thanks.
