+--skip-heap-checksum-validation
+
+ During startup, the utility does not validate the consistency of the heap checksum setting
+ among the Greenplum Database coordinator and segment instances. The default is to ensure
+ that the heap checksum setting is the same on all instances, either enabled or disabled.
+ Warning: Starting Greenplum Database without this validation could lead to data loss.
+ Use this option to start Greenplum Database only when it is necessary to ignore the
+ heap checksum verification errors to recover data or to troubleshoot the errors.
