RE: BDR 1.0: background worker wants to start that should not be there

Hi Alvaro,

Sorry for the late reply. Your mail was in the spam folder.
I used the commands you suggested already.
But I found another issue.
I had two databases running BDR replication. I did not know that they have
separate bdr.nodes tables.
After I called bdr.bdr_part_by_node_names again, it removed the failing
workers.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Daniel

Hi.

You have deleted the node from BDR setup, but you still have to delete it
from the postgres logical replication:

SELECT * FROM pg_replication_slots;
SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot('YOURSLOT');

As a remark, based on my BDR experience, when your cluster has been damaged,
your best option is to rebuild it.

Hi all,



After I used bdr.bdr_part_by_node_names(*p_nodes text[]*) and removed the
nodes from bdr.bdr_nodes table I still get log errors about the nonexistent
pg_replication_slot:



< 2019-02-12 06:26:21.166 PST >LOG:  starting background worker process "bdr
(6208877715678412212,1,22576474,)->bdr (6449651545875285115"



How does postgresql deduce which workers need starting?

Is there a table I am missing?
