Hello All,
I would like to announce that the Master/Slave approach to postgres is
almost finished. I have presently a working system. I am presently testing
the system and adding some "syntactic suger", i.e. making it nice and
sweet.I am testing the new system on two solaris machines (one Master and one
Slave). I will provide the new system for the general community for
testing on a hopefully much larger cluster as soon as I wrap it up and
have it approved by Dr. Bettina Kemme.There are many changes that I integrated into postgres. The main part of
these changes are in the replication module, i.e. the replication manager
process, the group communication process and the remote backends. This
e-mail will be quite large if I have to describe all the changes. However,
I have a suggestion: the replicationManager.c file have been dramatically
reduced and simplified, to the point that I suggest renaming the new file
to something like "MasterSlaveRMgr.c" or something alike. The reasons
behind this is avoid confusion with the old update-everywhere file, and to
make easier for developers to follow the changes to the system, and to
make improvements to it if need be.The general direction of my near-future work will be the following:
1. failure over integration of both the Mater and any slave: the system
has to be robust enough to handle failure of any host.2. user transparent recovery mechanisms for both the Master and any Slave.
I will be posting design suggestions on how I intend to pursue these two
goals. As usual, any comments/suggestions that might help me design a
better algorithm are very welcome.Cheers,
Mabrouk

I agree, a hearty "Good Job!".
Now for the question we're all dieing to know, umm, will this be
included in the 7.3 release?

I can't speak for the core developers, but IMHO the chances of this
being included in 7.3 are basically zero.
Cheers,

It might be nice to point out this has more to do with beta being about
3 days away rather than any quality of code issues... (For the record
I'm not a core developer either, but I think this is a fair assumption)

Yes, zero chance for 7.3. However, we have point-in-time recovery and a
Win32 port all almost ready for application, so if we can get those
three in, we can shoot for a 7.4 fairly quickly.

Boy, that's starting to sound like an 8.0 ;-)

Yes. We are resisting a delay to get those all in, but I think a quick
release after 7.3 is very possible.

I note that, if you're right, the old six-months-and-release plan
would be back on track. So we even get meta-level good news here :)

This is correct ... will have to wait for v7.4 ...
