Insert "connect_timeout=2" into the connection parameters, if not
explicitly set by the user. This will prevent excessive wait time
for the host operating system to report a connection timeout.
When parsing conninfo strings, ensure the error message pointer is
actually returned to the caller.
Not a criticial issue, just meant the contents of the error message
were not being displayed.
get_superuser_connection() was erroneously using the local node record
to connect to as a superuser, which works when registering the primary
but obviously not when cloning a standby.
Addresses GitHub #380.
This will generate "recovery.conf" for an existing standby.
Typical use-case is a standby cloned manually from an external data
source (e.g. Barman), where "recovery.conf" needs to be created
(and if required a replication slot).
The --dry-run option will check the pre-requisites but not actually
create "recovery.conf" or a replication slot.
This requires that the upstream node is running, a replication connection
can be made and if required a replication slot can be created.
Implements GitHub #382.
If repmgrd is running in degraded mode on a primary which has been stopped,
then manually been brought back online as a standby (e.g. by creating
recovery.conf and starting the server), ensure it not only detects the
change but automatically updates the node record so it can resume
monitoring the node as a standby.
Previously, repmgrd was looping waiting for the record to be updated
(as is done transparently when executing "repmgr node rejoin") but
if the record was not updated within the timeout period (e.g. by
"repmgr standby register) it would fail to resume monitoring as a
standby.
It seems reasonable to have repmgrd automatically update the node record,
as this will restore failover capability as quickly as possible. If this
is not desired, then the onus is on the user to shut down repmgrd while
making the desired changes.
Check that sufficient walsenders will be available on the promotion
candidate, and if replication slots are in use check if enough of
those will be available.
Note these checks can't guarantee that the walsenders/slots will
be available at the appropriate points during the switchover process,
but do ensure that existing configuration problems will be caught.
Implements GitHub #371.
In particular, if running "repmgr cluster show" against a database
without the repmgr metadata, showing the error (rather than just
"no records found" etc.) will provide some clues about the problem.
It's possible that a node was registered with "use_replication_slots=false"
but that was later changed to "use_replication_slots=true". If the node
was not subsequently re-registered, the node record will contain an empty
slot name, which will cause any slot creation operation during
"standby follow" or "node rejoin" to fail.
To prevent this happening, check for an empty slot name and automatically
set before proceeding.
Addresses GitHub #343.
Previously the assumption was that the "repmgr" replication set would be
set up when the nodes are created, however no checks were implemented
and this was not well-documented.
Addresses GitHub #347.
This previously happened in the extension SQL code, which could
potentially cause replay problems if installing on a BDR cluster.
As this table is only required for streaming replication failover,
move the initialisation to "repmgr primary register".
Addresses GitHub #344 .
This bug was not detected before because most users work with the repmgr
user. For that reason, the repmgr schema is already in the search_path
by default.
Add the repmgr schema to the nodes table in the LEFT JOIN used for
cluster show (and in other places)

The string in question will be generated internally by repmgr as a simple
one-line string with no control characters etc., so all that needs to be
escaped at the moment are any double quotes.
get_new_primary() returns NULL if no notification for the new primary has
been received, but the code was expecting it to return UNKNOWN_NODE_ID,
which was causing repmgrd to prematurely drop out of the new primary
detection loop if no notification had been received by the time the loop
started.
Also store the electoral term as a single row, single column table,
to ensure that all repmgrds see the same turn. It is then bumped
by the winning node after it gets promoted.
Various logging improvements.
