Hi, it was a long time I have read this list or written to it. Now, I have a question. This blog post was written about 3 years ago: https://aphyr.com/posts/282-jepsen-postgres Basically, it talks about the client AND the server as a system and if the network is cut between sending COMMIT and receiving the answer for it, the client has no way to know whether the transaction was actually committed. The client connection may just timeout and a reconnect would give it a new connection but it cannot pick up its old connection where it left. So it cannot really know whether the old transaction was committed or not, possibly without doing expensive queries first. Has anything changed on that front? There is a 10.0 debate on -hackers. If this problem posed by the above article is not fixed yet and needs a new wire protocol to get it fixed, 10.0 would be justified.
