pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: canceling statement due to conflict with recovery

I ran to this error the other day when I tried to export a dump file from a slave Postgres database.

cpg_dump: Dumping the contents of table "[table_name]" failed: PQgetResult() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR:  canceling statement due to conflict with recovery
DETAIL:  User query might have needed to see row versions that must be removed.
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.[table_name] ([comma-separated column names]) TO stdout;
I turns out that we can't execute long query on Hot Standby mode server. Right now, there's no perfect solution to this problem but there are some couples of workarounds.
