Currently indexes above 1 do not have dependencies checked, so this doesn't error.
In a future commit we will enable those checks and this will error if it is not fixed.
These constants don't scale well as the index total is increased for an option.
The core code rarely uses these options and they are easily replaced with cfgOptionName().
The tests had started to make use of the constants, so provide functions that build the option name from the optionId and, optionally, the optionKey.
WAL timeline history files were not being expired because they were small and generally not very plentiful.
However, in some cases large numbers of history files may be generated so it makes sense to remove useless history files to keep things tidy.
The history file for the oldest retained timeline is kept for debugging purposes even though it is not used for recovery.
Instead of using memmove() to manage the internal output buffer for every small read, track the current buffer position and only move data when the small read cannot be satisfied and more data is needed.
Group related options together so operations (e.g. valid, test, index total) can be performed on all options in the group.
Previously, options at the top of the hierarchy of the related options were used to do these tests. This was prone to error as option relationships changed and it was not always clear which option (or options) should be used.

* Move info command text to the reference and link to user guide. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang. Suggested by Christophe Courtois.)
* Update yum repository path for CentOS/RHEL user guide. (Contributed by Heath Lord. Reviewed by David Steele.)
Since links are not possible in the command line help just display the name of the linked section.
Also, during reference text rendering there is no out key so make sure it is defined before trying to use it.
This means the same text will appear in both places, which should make it easier to find.
Also update the link code to allow both page and section to be specified rather than only one or the other.
Update the documentation to explicitly state that versions must match across hosts when running remotely.
Add a hint to the protocol version mismatch error to help the user identify the problem.
Add older PostgreSQL versions to the u18 container that were not available before.
This also updates all minor versions for prior versions of PostgreSQL.
Scan the WAL archive for missing or invalid files and build up ranges of WAL that will be used to verify backup integrity. A number of errors and warnings are currently emitted but they should not be considered authoritative (yet).
The command is incomplete so is marked internal.
Previously, catalog versions were fixed for all versions which made maintaining the catalog versions during PostgreSQL beta and release candidate cycles very painful. A version of pgBackRest which was functionally compatible was rendered useless by a catalog version bump in PostgreSQL.
Instead use only the control version to identify a PostgreSQL version when possible. Some older versions require a catalog version to positively identify a PostgreSQL version, so include them when required.
Since the catalog number is required to work with tablespaces it will need to be stored. There's already a copy of it in backup.info so use that (even though we have been ignoring it in the C versions).
Apparently backtrace has not been used for debugging since it was broken in 7fba1f0b.
Even though this is test code it might be good to find a way to test it to prevent regressions.
These values are not used by the Perl integration tests so maybe it would be better to remove them, but for now just update since they should not be changing again for PG13.
This condition used to give a not-very-clear error which we have been intending to improve. But in the meantime the changes in fbff299 resulted in a segfault for this condition instead because the data_directory was assumed to be non-NULL.
Fix this by explicitly throwing an error with hints when any row in pg_settings cannot be selected.
This file is created by pg_basebackup so might be in the data directory if the cluster was restored from a pg_basebackup backup. Also exclude backup_manifest.tmp since it is possible to find that in the backup directory.
Improve the wording of the error message and add a hint to make it clearer what is wrong and how the user can fix it.
Also change the assert to a regular error since this is not an internal error.
If a stop command has been issued the check command fails due to archiving timing out.
Provide a hint to document this situation and point the user in the proper direction.
If the callback never returned any jobs then protocolParallelDone() would never be true. The reason is that the done state was being set in protocolParallelResult(), which never gets called if there are no results.
Calling protocolParallelResult() doesn't make much sense in this case so instead move the done logic to protocolParallelDone().
For current usage of ProtocolParallel we ensure there are jobs before processing so this is not a live issue, but the new behavior is required for future development.
Bug Fixes:
* Suppress errors when closing local/remote processes. Since the command has completed it is counterproductive to throw an error but still warn to indicate that something unusual happened. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by argdenis.)
* Fix issue with = character in file or database names. (Reviewed by Bastian Wegge, Cynthia Shang. Reported by Brad Nicholson, Bastian Wegge.)
Features:
* Automatically retrieve temporary S3 credentials on AWS instances. (Contributed by David Steele, Stephen Frost. Reviewed by Cynthia Shang, David Youatt, Aleš Zelený, Jeanette Bromage.)
* Add archive-mode option to disable archiving on restore. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost. Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
Improvements:
* PostgreSQL 13 beta3 support. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.
* Asynchronous list/remove for S3/Azure storage. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang, Stephen Frost.)
* Improve memory usage of unlogged relation detection in manifest build. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang, Stephen Frost, Brad Nicholson, Oscar. Suggested by Oscar, Brad Nicholson.)
* Proactively close file descriptors after forking async process. (Reviewed by Stephen Frost, Cynthia Shang.)
* Delay backup remote connection close until after archive check. (Contributed by Floris van Nee. Reviewed by David Steele.)
* Improve detailed error output. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Improve TLS error reporting. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang, Stephen Frost.)
Documentation Bug Fixes:
* Add none to compress-type option reference and fix example. (Reported by Ugo Bellavance, Don Seiler.)
* Add missing azure type in repo-type option reference. (Fixed by Don Seiler. Reviewed by David Steele.)
* Fix typo in repo-cipher-type option reference. (Fixed by Don Seiler. Reviewed by David Steele.)
Documentation Improvements:
* Clarify that expire must be run regularly when expire-auto is disabled. (Reviewed by Douglas J Hunley. Suggested by Douglas J Hunley.)
When restoring a cluster that will be promoted but is not intended to be the new primary, it is important to disable archiving to avoid polluting the repository with useless WAL. This option makes disabling archiving a bit easier.
Automatically retrieve the role and temporary credentials for S3 when the AWS instance is associated with an IAM role. Credentials are automatically updated when they are <= 5 minutes from expiring.
Basic configuration is to set repo1-s3-key-type=auto. repo1-s3-role can be used to set a specific role, otherwise it will be retrieved automatically.
