There was a discussion on support for N synchronous standby servers started by Michael. Refer http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/cab7npqr9c84ig0zuvhmqamq53vqsd4rc82vyci4dr27pvof...@mail.gmail.com . The use of hooks and dedicated language was suggested, however, it seemed to be an overkill for the scenario and there was no consensus on this. Exploring GUC-land was preferred.
Please find attached a patch, built on Michael's patch from above mentioned thread, which supports choosing different number of nodes from each set i.e. k nodes from set 1, l nodes from set 2, so on. The format of synchronous_standby_names has been updated to standby name followed by the required count separated by hyphen. Ex: 'aa-1, bb-3'. The transaction waits for all the specified number of standby in each group. Any extra nodes with the same name will be considered potential. The special entry * for the standby name is also supported. Thanks, Beena Emerson
