Well, I happen to have some pieces of such a framework: the parts which can automate spinning up arbitrarily complex groups of replicas and doing failover between them. What we'd still need is: a) a slightly better workload than pgbench b) a way to compare and test databases for data corruption of several kinds Can someone else kick in to help with this? I think this last issue shows that it's critical as a community to have such a testing framework in place, otherwise we really need to halt all work on replication until we have such a thing. I can't see how you expect to complete streaming logical replication without a replication testing framework. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
