FATAL: requested timeline 3 is not a child of this server's history


When we perform a switch-over, the replica fails to start with below errors.



Switchover - master server and warm standby (with streaming replication) in PostgreSQL


Switch-over of a master database to replica is pretty easy. Lets see how we do it.. 

 I have 2 servers : 5522(data_replica2) and 5432(data), and at this time, 5522 is the master server and 5432 is a warm standby with streaming replication.
