[pgpool-general: 3778] Re: Pgpool Load Balancing

[Alex Toth]

Hi Fahad,

I'm going to have to be general because you've provided very little 
information, but I've used pgpool load balancing in AWS so I'm sure it 
works there.

Load balancing is connection based, not query based.  If you only have, 
say, one client then all the connections will go to one node, especially 
if your client does its own connection pooling.

Make sure you have "load_balance_mode = on" to make sure load balancing 
is enabled.  You can try changing the weights of the read-only slaves to 
push more read queries to them --higher numbers get more queries.

Make sure pgpool thinks all the backends are healthy.  It won't send 
queries to nodes that are not passing the health check or that have 
fallen behind in replication.  Check the pgpool logs or pcp_pool_status 
to find out (status "2" means "healthy").

Hope that helps.
