[pgpool-general: 5613] Re: pgpool 3.6.4 does not always pass database exception to application and cause it to get stuck

[Jon]

Thanks so much for reporting this on the list!

I have experienced this bug too.... (i saw it as big lag on the first
call.... and then sometimes seems to just hang)

I tried 3.6.4 and 3.6.3 on ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 - tried from apt and also
from source... tbh i was almost ready to give up...

I can also confirm that if you just set the weight so it goes to Master
only it works fine (this is what i'm doing at the moment - and i was
wondering what the next move would be)

Good to hear that 3.6.1 works ok - i will move to that shortly...
