Promoting a cascading standby terminates the immediate downstream replication
connections which it serves. This is because the timeline becomes different
between standbys, and they can no longer continue replication. The

To use cascading replication, set up the cascading standby so that it can
- accept replication connections, i.e., set <varname>max_wal_senders</>,
- <varname>hot_standby</> and authentication option (see
