+ This parameter is useful in configurations where a node in recovery
3059
+ needs to control the amount of time to wait for new WAL data to be
3060
+ available. For example, in archive recovery, it is possible to
3061
+ make the recovery more responsive in the detection of a new WAL
3062
+ log file by reducing the value of this parameter. On a system with
3063
+ low WAL activity, increasing it reduces the amount of requests necessary
3064
+ to access WAL archives, something useful for example in cloud
3065
+ environments where the amount of times an infrastructure is accessed
3066
+ is taken into account.
