I'm working with a 9.4-bdr cluster and want to move away from BDR tech all together. So my idea was to follow instructions on http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/ to first strip the node from BDR making it into "regular" node and then moving the data from this node to official 9.4 instance.
Environment:
BDR_Node_1
BDR_Node_2
Regular_Node_1
Steps done on BDR_Node_2
1. Part node from BDR cluster http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/node-management-removing.html
2. Remove BDR from node http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/node-management-disabling.html
3. Create SR slot select pg_create_physical_replication_slot('new_cluster_node');
After this. Steps done on Regular_Node_1, which is 9.4.22
1. Init the new node with pg_basebackup with source being BDR_Node_1
2. Update recovery.conf and postgres.conf
3. Start it with pg_ctl
All seems to be working well, but for this:
select * from information_schema.sequences;
produces "[XX000] ERROR: cache lookup failed for index 899807" for all of the DBs that were configured with BDR with various OID.
I can not reproduce this error, when running query on any of the DBs on 9.4-bdr node.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this ?
Due to this I'm also unable to run pg_dump on new_cluster_node - it also results in the same error.
That said. For more context - If it worked, next steps would have been to
1. Deactivate virtual IP on BDR_Node_2
2. Check for no replication lag on BDR_Node_2 slot "new_cluster_node"
3. Promote Regular_Node_1
4. Activate virtual IP on BDR_Node_2
Build the new 9.4 cluster from there on.
Any ideas / comments will be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Janis Puris
