Hi!
It seems I ran into another problem.
I have pgpool 3.3.1 with 2 postgresql 9.3 backends with streaming replication. I'm trying to set the correct number of allowed connections.
These are settings from postgresl.conf on both postgresql backends:
max_connections = 30
superuser_reserved_connections = 3
These are settings from pgpool.conf:
num_init_children = 25
max_pool = 2
I set these values according to the following formula:
max_pool*num_init_children <= (max_connections - superuser_reserved_connections)
2 * 25 <= ( 30 - 3 )*2
When both backends are online everything goes without any problems. Both backends have equal number of connections and everything works well. But once one of the backends goes offline I instantly start getting the following error on the online backend:
FATAL: sorry, too many clients already
and then it goes offline as well. pgpool shows this error message:
Cannot accept() new connection. all backends are down
It seems pgpool tries to use the whole bunch of allowed connections (2*25) against only one backend (with 27 allowed connections).
Could you please tell how to avoid this error?
Thanks in advance.
