postgres-xc-general Mailing List for Postgres-XC (Page 5)

If pgxc could distribute the shards in a redundant fashion across the
storage nodes I think it would go a very long way to make pgxc a very good
HA solution.  If a storage node goes down then other nodes can serve the
same shards and when a node is brought back up shards could be distributed
to it.

Elasticsearch and other data stores use a similar strategy.

It is just like PostgreSQL slave does not work as a master without explicit promote operation.

XC provides features for HA configuration but it does not provide HA feature by itself.   It is also similar to PG.   HA feature cannot be configured only within XC.   It needs much more, for example, hardware, network, and storage monitoring, failover and virtual IP.

At present this is why XC (and I believe PG as well) provides fundamental feature but not total HA solution.

This can be changed in the future though.

Pgxc_ctl provides simple way to start everything and monitor if everything is working, as well as simple manual failover mechanism.
