- PostgreSQL Automatic Failover - User Documentation
-====================================================
-
-Automatic Failover
-==================
-
-repmgr allows for automatic failover when it detects the failure of the master node.
-Following is a quick setup for this.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-For convenience, we define:
-
-**node1**
-    is the fully qualified domain name of the Master server, IP 192.168.1.10
-**node2**
-    is the fully qualified domain name of the Standby server, IP 192.168.1.11
-**witness**
-    is the fully qualified domain name of the server used as a witness, IP 192.168.1.12
-
-**Note:** We don't recommend using names with the status of a server like «masterserver»,
-because it would be confusing once a failover takes place and the Master is
-now on the «standbyserver».
-
-Summary
--------
-
-2 PostgreSQL servers are involved in the replication.  Automatic failover needs
-a vote to decide what server it should promote, so an odd number is required.
-A witness-repmgrd is installed in a third server where it uses a PostgreSQL
-cluster to communicate with other repmgrd daemons.
-
-1. Install PostgreSQL in all the servers involved (including the witness server)
-
-2. Install repmgr in all the servers involved (including the witness server)
-
-3. Configure the Master PostreSQL
-
-4. Clone the Master to the Standby using "repmgr standby clone" command
-
-5. Configure repmgr in all the servers involved (including the witness server)
-
-6. Register Master and Standby nodes
-
-7. Initiate witness server
-
-8. Start the repmgrd daemons in all nodes
-
-**Note** A complete High-Availability design needs at least 3 servers to still have
-a backup node after a first failure.
-
-Install PostgreSQL
-------------------
-
-You can install PostgreSQL using any of the recommended methods. You should ensure
-it's 9.0 or later.
-
-Install repmgr
---------------
-
-Install repmgr following the steps in the README file.
-
-Configure PostreSQL
--------------------
-
-Log in to node1.
-
-Edit the file postgresql.conf and modify the parameters::
-
-  listen_addresses='*'
-  wal_level = 'hot_standby'
-  archive_mode = on
-  archive_command = 'cd .'   # we can also use exit 0, anything that
-                             # just does nothing
-  max_wal_senders = 10
-  wal_keep_segments = 5000   # 80 GB required on pg_xlog
-  hot_standby = on
-  shared_preload_libraries = 'repmgr_funcs'
-
-Edit the file pg_hba.conf and add lines for the replication::
-
-  host     repmgr           repmgr      127.0.0.1/32            trust
-  host     repmgr           repmgr      192.168.1.10/30         trust
-  host     replication      all         192.168.1.10/30         trust
-
-**Note:** It is also possible to use a password authentication (md5), .pgpass file
-should be edited to allow connection between each node.
-
-Create the user and database to manage replication::
-
-  su - postgres
-  createuser -s repmgr
-  createdb -O repmgr repmgr
-  psql -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.0/contrib/repmgr_funcs.sql repmgr
-
-Restart the PostgreSQL server::
-
-  pg_ctl -D $PGDATA restart
-
-And check everything is fine in the server log.
-
-Create the ssh-key for the postgres user and copy it to other servers::
-
-  su - postgres
-  ssh-keygen             # /!\ do not use a passphrase /!\
-  cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-  chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-  exit
-  rsync -avz ~postgres/.ssh/authorized_keys node2:~postgres/.ssh/
-  rsync -avz ~postgres/.ssh/authorized_keys witness:~postgres/.ssh/
-  rsync -avz ~postgres/.ssh/id_rsa* node2:~postgres/.ssh/
-  rsync -avz ~postgres/.ssh/id_rsa* witness:~postgres/.ssh/
-
-Clone Master
-------------
-
-Log in to node2.
-
-Clone node1 (the current Master)::
-
-  su - postgres
-  repmgr -d repmgr -U repmgr -h node1 standby clone 
-
-Start the PostgreSQL server::
-
-  pg_ctl -D $PGDATA start
-
-And check everything is fine in the server log.
-
-Configure repmgr
-----------------
-
-Log in to each server and configure repmgr by editing the file
-/etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf::
-
-  cluster=my_cluster
-  node=1
-  node_name=earth
-  conninfo='host=192.168.1.10 dbname=repmgr user=repmgr'
-  master_response_timeout=60
-  reconnect_attempts=6
-  reconnect_interval=10
-  failover=automatic
-  promote_command='promote_command.sh'
-  follow_command='repmgr standby follow -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf'
-
-**cluster**
-    is the name of the current replication.
-**node**
-    is the number of the current node (1, 2 or 3 in the current example).
-**node_name**
-    is an identifier for every node.
-**conninfo**
-    is used to connect to the local PostgreSQL server (where the configuration file is) from any node. In the witness server configuration you need to add a 'port=5499' to the conninfo.
-**master_response_timeout**
-    is the maximum amount of time we are going to wait before deciding the master has died and start the failover procedure.
-**reconnect_attempts**
-    is the number of times we will try to reconnect to master after a failure has been detected and before start the failover procedure.
-**reconnect_interval**
-    is the amount of time between retries to reconnect to master after a failure has been detected and before start the failover procedure.
-**failover**
-    configure behavior: *manual* or *automatic*.
-**promote_command**
-    the command executed to do the failover (including the PostgreSQL failover itself). The command must return 0 on success.
-**follow_command**
-    the command executed to address the current standby to another Master. The command must return 0 on success.
-
-Register Master and Standby
----------------------------
-
-Log in to node1.
-
-Register the node as Master::
-
-  su - postgres
-  repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf master register
-
-Log in to node2. Register it as a standby::
-
-  su - postgres
-  repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf standby register
-
-Initialize witness server
--------------------------
-
-Log in to witness.
-
-Initialize the witness server::
-
-  su - postgres
-  repmgr -d repmgr -U repmgr -h 192.168.1.10 -D $WITNESS_PGDATA -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf witness create
-
-The witness server needs the following information from the command
-line:
-
-* Connection details for the current master, to copy the cluster
-  configuration.
-* A location for initializing its own $PGDATA.
-
-repmgr will also ask for the superuser password on the witness database so
-it can reconnect when needed (the command line option --initdb-no-pwprompt
-will set up a password-less superuser).
-
-By default the witness server will listen on port 5499; this value can be
-overridden by explicitly providing the port number in the conninfo string
-in repmgr.conf. (Note that it is also possible to specify the port number
-with the -l/--local-port option, however this option is now deprecated and
-will be overridden by a port setting in the conninfo string).
-
-Start the repmgrd daemons
--------------------------
-
-Log in to node2 and witness::
-
-  su - postgres
-  repmgrd -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --daemonize -> /var/log/postgresql/repmgr.log 2>&1
-
-**Note:** The Master does not need a repmgrd daemon.
-
-Suspend Automatic behavior
-==========================
-
-Edit the repmgr.conf of the node to remove from automatic processing and change::
-
-  failover=manual
-
-Then, signal repmgrd daemon::
-
-  su - postgres
-  kill -HUP $(pidof repmgrd)
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-The repmgr documentation is in the README file (how to build, options, etc.)

+
+  `repmgr`/`repmgrd` need to be able to connect to the repmgr database

+- When cloning a standby, why do I need to provide the connection parameters

+
+  Cloning a standby is a one-time action; the role of the server being cloned

+  confusion. If `repmgr` needs to establish a connection to the primary
+  server, it can retrieve this from the `repl_nodes` table or if necessary

+- Why is there no foreign key on the `node_id` column in the `repl_events`

-repmgr quickstart guide
+The contents of this file have been incorporated into the main README.md document.
-=======================
-
-This quickstart guide provides some annotated examples on basic
-`repmgr` setup. It assumes you are familiar with PostgreSQL replication
-concepts setup and Linux/UNIX system administration.
-
-For the purposes of this guide, we'll assume the database user will be
-`repmgr_usr` and the database will be `repmgr_db`.
-
-
-Master setup
-------------
-
-1. Configure PostgreSQL
-
-  - create user and database:
-
-	```
-	CREATE ROLE repmgr_usr LOGIN SUPERUSER;
-	CREATE DATABASE repmgr_db OWNER repmgr_usr;
-	```
-
-  - configure `postgresql.conf` for replication (see README.md for sample
-    settings)
-
-  - update `pg_hba.conf`, e.g.:
-
-	```
-	host    repmgr_db       repmgr_usr  192.168.1.0/24         trust
-	host    replication     repmgr_usr  192.168.1.0/24         trust
-	```
-
-  Restart the PostgreSQL server after making these changes.
-
-2. Create the `repmgr` configuration file:
-
-        $ cat /path/to/repmgr/node1/repmgr.conf
-        cluster=test
-        node=1
-        node_name=node1
-        conninfo='host=repmgr_node1 user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db'
-        pg_bindir=/path/to/postgres/bin
-
-   (For an annotated `repmgr.conf` file, see `repmgr.conf.sample` in the
-   repository's root directory).
-
-3. Register the master node with `repmgr`:
-
-        $ repmgr -f /path/to/repmgr/node1/repmgr.conf --verbose master register
-        [2015-03-03 17:45:53] [INFO] repmgr connecting to master database

-
-Standby setup
--------------
-
-1. Use `repmgr standby clone` to clone a standby from the master:
-
-        repmgr -D /path/to/standby/data -d repmgr_db -U repmgr_usr --verbose standby clone 192.168.1.2

-        [2015-03-03 18:18:23] [NOTICE] for example : pg_ctl -D  /path/to/standby/data start
-
-  Note that the `repmgr.conf` file is not required when cloning a standby.
-  However we recommend providing a valid `repmgr.conf` if you wish to use
-  replication slots, or want `repmgr` to log the clone event to the
-  `repl_events` table.
-
-  This will clone the PostgreSQL database files from the master, including its
-  `postgresql.conf` and `pg_hba.conf` files, and additionally automatically create
-  the `recovery.conf` file containing the correct parameters to start streaming
-  from the primary node.
-
-2. Start the PostgreSQL server
-
-3. Create the `repmgr` configuration file:
-
-        $ cat /path/node2/repmgr/repmgr.conf
-        cluster=test
-        node=2
-        node_name=node2

-        pg_bindir=/path/to/postgres/bin
-

+* possibility to transform a failed master into a new standby with pg_rewind
+
+* "repmgr standby switchover" to promote a standby in a controlled manner
+   and convert the existing primary into a standby
+
+* make repmgrd more robust
+
+* repmgr: when cloning a standby using pg_basebackup and replication slots are
+  requested, activate the replication slot using pg_receivexlog to negate the
+  need to set `wal_keep_segments` just for the initial clone (9.4 and 9.5).
+
+* Take into account the fact that a standby can obtain WAL from an archive,
+  so even if direct streaming replication is interrupted, it may be up-to-date
+
+Usability improvements
+======================
+
+* repmgr: add interrupt handler, so that if the program is interrupted
+  while running a backup, an attempt can be made to execute pg_stop_backup()
+  on the primary, to prevent an orphaned backup state existing.
+
+* repmgr: when unregistering a node, delete any entries in the repl_monitoring
+  table.
+
+* repmgr: for "standby unregister", accept connection parameters for the
+  primary and perform metadata updates (and slot removal) directly on
+  the primary, to allow a shutdown standby to be unregistered
+  (currently the standby must still be running, which means the replication
+  slot can't be dropped).
