The replication method should have no_master flag set and
support getting the base backup from some external storage
(i.e. S3). At the moment we only support initialization of
replicas in the already existing cluster when no master is
present, since there is no 'one fits all' way to decide whether
to run initidb or wait for the replica data storage to become
available when dealing with the new cluster.
Rename the follow_the_leader to just follow, since the node to
be followed is not necessary a leader anymore. Extend the code
that manages replication slots to the non-master nodes if they
are mentioned in at least one replicatefrom tag.
Add the 3rd configuration in order to be able to run cascading
replicas.
Call normal follow the leader method from HA even during recovery.
This provides a single place that changes recovery.conf, making
it easier to plug in a cascading replica in the future.
Remove an obsolete demote function from PostreSQL module, modified
the tests.
PostgreSQL does not run a checkpoint during promition.
Since pg_rewind relies on the last checkpoint to get the timeline,
there is a short race condition right after the promotion, when
it can get the timeline wrong and fail. We work around this by
calling the checkpoint manually.
Make sure our test configuration does both archive and recovery.
For easier development using Docker the $HOSTNAME variable will be used to
name the running Patroni. Bumped some _segments postgresql settings to ensure
WAL files are not removed very quickly.
Increased the timeout for the post request for Patroni, as some operations
(failover) may take considerable time to complete.
The failover to a specific member was broken in patronictl as it used a wrong
key to specify the member to failover to.
Pretty printing fix for xlog lag, to prevent false negatives to show up and have
good alignment.
Replica creation methods are configured via the 'create_replica_method'
parameter in the patroni configuration file. The value should contain a list
of acceptable replica creation method names. Patroni attempts to call them one
by one, until it finds one that returns 0. If there is a configuration section
with the same name as the replica creation method, the values in this section
are converted to the command-line options and appended to the command name.
The command name is constructued either from the 'command' key in the method
name configuration section, or by taking the replica creation method name
verbatim.
The wal_e replica creation method is included with Patroni (wale_restore.py
script), in addition to the 'basebackup', which is a special method: it's taken
by default, if no create_replica_method parameter is specified, or if it is
empty. This merge also reverses the decision to move the basebackup repli
method ouside of the core patroni.
