Hi,
problem still persists.
Is there any configuration (parameter?) to set the timeout of the
connection ? Because if the slave node is down, transaction to master
node waits forever until slave node comes back online.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anushka

Hi all,
I have a synchronous streaming replication environment which is
implemented using inbuilt replication mechanism in postgresql.
Replication is working fine except I need to fail the data
modification transactions when the slave node is not accessible.
Is it possible?
Please let me know whether there is a way to identify slave node
status and fail the transaction using any inbuilt mechanism or some
other technique.
Thanks,
Anushka
As far as I know, which is does not mean much, there is no timeout
setting.
And that's by design; a timeout can occur because the node is down,
but also because it's busy and cannot answer in time, or there is a
network hickup.
Adding a timeout would basically break the "syncronous" promise
because that guarantees that either all nodes are updated, or the
transaction fails.
And yes I googled this from:

In the case of a node going down you should probably but some failover
mechanism in place so you can safely remove the dead node from the setup
and rebuild it before making it part of the cluster again.
