Joe Conway pointed out to me recently that people have been taking heed of some pretty ancient documentation in the Slony doc tree that indicates "initial node ID MUST be 1".
This was true, in a very precise context, back in the 1.2 version and earlier. It misses the extra caveat that "it MUST be 1, because we are simplifying configuration by omitting EVENT NODE everywhere that we can, and *that* would require having a node with ID 1 that, by default, gets events first." In version 2, we changed slonik to require event nodes in pretty well all cases, so that "MUST" is now pretty well untrue. I took a peek back at the documentation that said that, and am finding that it would require a pretty broad rewrite in order to validate that it is anywhere near accurate. I think we have more recent and better material, so I'll drop this old doc out. _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slony.info/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
