Our fear is using open source tools for HA creates dependency and single point of failure(pgpool). Or say pacemaker which our enterprise do not recommend.
We are planning to use postgres to use for our hadoop metastore which is presently on Oracle.
Thanks mark.. That does help... Our db is not transactional ..it more of write few times read many times ..What HA do you recommend for us by not using any open source tools...and what could be the best backup startegy...
Wow - that 'not using any open source tools' restriction pretty much rules out any options I'd come up with (was that *really* what you meant to write - Postgres is after all open source too...)?
