I'm not aware of any plans by the Yum RPM maintainers (Devrim et al) to
package BDR (9.4) in yum.postgresql.org.
If all of the requirements for BDR to run make it into PostgreSQL 9.5,
then hopefully BDR can be packaged for the PostgreSQL 9.5 release and
added to the PGDG yum repositories then.
In the mean time you need a customised PostgreSQL, which isn't something
that I really want to have in the main repositories so as to avoid any
possible user confusion.
The latest BDR packages can be found at:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/BDR_Packages
However, the BDR team has done a lot of work since then, and there'll be
a major new release in the next month or so with plenty of significant
improvements.
There are already people running BDR in production - but that said, it's
0.x for a reason. They're doing so with input from the development team
and with close support.
The next release will put us on track to making things more user
friendly, with a clear path to easy dynamic node addition, improved
support for removing nodes, etc.
I guess the short answer is "somewhere between right now and 18 months
from now, depending on what exactly you mean by 'production ready'".
