I agree. That is something Patroni should do, not the database. Maybe
Patroni could be extended to invoke a script after taking some action.
I know of one program (vip_manager) which monitors patroni state and
takes action (enable/disable virtual ip addresses) - that one checks the
distributed database (etcd or whatever) periodically, AFAIK.
