In order to have backward compatibility connection url of restapi is
passed as application_name parameter in connection url of database.
Value in etcd will look like:
postgres://user:passwd@host:5432/postgres?application_name=http://host:8080/governor
Sure, this is a hack, but I guess it worth it.
Server always returns json which contains some status of postgres:
* instance type: master/slave
* xlog location for master
* xlog received_location, replayed_location
This server could be used by haproxy
GET / returns 200 if there is postgres master behind governor.
GET /slave returns 200 is there is postgres slave behind governor
In all other cases it returns 503
Currently server always listening on 0.0.0.0:8080, but it should be
configurable. In the next versions this rest api could also report some
status of etcd and could be used by is_healthiest_node method
