Hi,
I'm looking for a way to reliably detect if it's a promoting
standby. This is neccessary for pgpool-II manage streaming replication
clusters. When primary goes down, standby *could* start promoting to
primary. The only way to find it is calling
pg_is_in_recovery(). Problem is, it returns true even if standby is
promoting. If pgpool-II waits for cetain period, it may finishes
promotion, thus it returns false. But how long should we wait?
Any idea?
