;) that is my same problem and the only way I have now is by restarting apache ( in your case mongrel I guess) which then closes the connections which sucks cause it kicks out all clients even the ones not doing anything with pgpool. Apache reload won't work.

I have also tried setting client_idle_limit but the problem with that is that will kill not only just idle but also idle in transaction at any time.

it would be nice if there was a variable like that is just picked up during online recovery, so that if online recovery is occurring and there are idle connections or idle in transactions get ready of them.

I tried the patch below on the CVS head but that will take care of other connection issues I guess.

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue in the beginning of the 2nd recovery stage. If I have open connections (in this case ActiveRecord connections) that never disconnect by themselves, the recovery will timeout. Is there anyway to force pgpool-II to close those connections?

At the moment my client_idle_limit is 0 in order for pgpool and rails to get along well but I don't think tweaking that value would actually help if the connection isn't idle.

I'm not familiar with the pgpool source so I'm not sure what this patch achieves, does it do what I need and kill the client connection?

Thanks,
Tiago Macedo

pgpool does not send RESET request to the client, but to the
backend. So your problem seems to be caused by pgpool calling close(2)
the connection to client.

Can you try included patches which try to avoid the problem by using
shutdown(2)?
