Check it out and let me know what you think. Here is the Settings file with the YAML Config Settings:
https://github.com/zalando/patroni/blob/master/SETTINGS.rst
We still need to do a bit more work on the intro paragraph to make Patroni's advantages/benefits a bit more clear. I also might do a bit more magic with the headers/subheads, to stack things a bit more clearly.
where it is not necessary (test_ha, test_ctl, etc...)
It will simplyfy further refactoring and make it possible to install
implementations of AbstractDCS independant of each other.
Originally we were passing postgresql options as an argument of `pg_ctl
start`. It was nice and convenient because doesn't require to touch
configuration files but this method has one significant drawback: it
wasn't possible to change values of options which were passed as an
arguments without restart (event for the case when option reqires only
reload). Instead of doing that (passing options as arguments) we will:
1) rename original postgresql.conf to postgresql-base.conf
2) write options into postgresql.conf which has `include
'postgresql-base.conf'` on the the third line after comment that this
file is generated by Patroni and you should not change it manually
3) listen_addresses and port are still passed as an arguments to the
pg_ctl (just to be foolproof against ALTER SYSTEM set port to 'random')
In addition to that this commit makes some attributes of `Postgresql`
class private (prefixes them with _)
Somehow when you import only urllib3 it's not possible work with
urllib3.exceptions.HTTPError exception (it looks like it is imported
from some other place. from urllib3.exceptions import HTTPError solves
the problem.
A Patroni configuration should be enough for Patronictl
The previous dcs_api url style is still supported.
To remove duplicate magic variables a DCS_DEFAULTS was introduced.
Some behaviour has changed: If you do not specify a DCS at all
(not in configuration, not on commandline, not in environment), it will
not default to etcd://localhost:4001
More test coverage for patronictl
Previously we explicitly injected a replication record into pg_hba.conf.
This doesn't allow users to explicitly write their configurations.
This change will just write the lines specified by the user.
