Jira "hangs" at startup when postgres (9.6) replication is turned on

Bill Almeda December 9, 2019

In preparation for upgrading to Jira version 8.4.1 we were required to upgrade postgres to version 9.6 from 9.3.  In our dev environments this went fine as we were running local instances of postgres.  In our production instance we were using streaming replication and the upgrade of the master went fine from a data perspective but when attempting to start Jira or Confluence for that matter it will not complete the startup process.  Essentially when enabling the following four lines in the postgresql.conf file:

wal_level = hot_standby

max_wal_senders = 3

synchronous_standby_names = 'postgresql2'

wal_keep_segments = 100

Jira will not complete the startup process.  I have since set this up in a dev enviornment and in the logs it gets stuck with the following in the log:

2019-12-06 08:48:02,710 plugin-transaction-0 INFO      [c.a.jira.plugin.PluginTransactionListener] [plugin-transaction] numberStartEvents:690, numberEndEvents:689, numberSendEvents:89, numberEventsInTransactions:0, numberOfPluginEnableEvents:89

This error will go forever and just repeats every 5 minutes.  It seems as though replication is actually working fine but we just cannot get the application(s) to startup with it enabled now.
