Hi,
I posted the questions below regarding Slony-I on their mailing list and
got the suggestion to look at pgpool-II + slony + heartbeat. I see that
a Pgpool-HA also exists that includes heartbeat. Given the requirements
that I have, would Pgpool-HA + Slony-I be a good solution for me? Can I
find some whitepapers or similar somewhere that outlines a solution like
that?

Hi,
I'm trying to wrap my head around Slony-I and how to use it from an
application server like JBoss with Hibernate. I'm not clear on the
relationship between actual connections established by a client and
nodes in the cluster.
Is it true that any connection that is established is either connected
to a slave or to the master (origin) for a specific replication set?
I.e. there's no node in between that will redirect updates to the master
for the replication set in question?
I'm trying to figure out how to do a controlled switchover and the
implications of doing that. My appservers can work with two different
connections if needed but it will be somewhat cumbersome if they need to
change their settings when I do a switchover. Is there a way to do
switchover and maintain the connection settings (i.e. host, database,
credentials)? Ideally, the connections should survive the switch.
I'm also looking into automatic switchover in case the master fails for
some reason. The Heartbeat product seems to be useful for this. Are you
aware of any examples on how to do this? Any pointer or hint would be
useful.
