pgpool Connections Distributions Among Nodes

Hi Gurus,

 

We have 4-node cluster (1 master and 3 hot standby).  We are using pgpool as load balancer. We have an observation where if application requests for 3 connections, pgpool connects to all 4 servers and I see 3 connections on each of them. I was expecting it have a total of 3 connections from either of 4 servers but I can easily see 12 connections in all.

 

Can somebody shed some light on it.

 

Please let me know if you need more information.

 

Regards,

Virendra

I would say the contents of your config file at the least.

Hello,

Which version pgpool you are using?

How did you balance the reading by pgpool? Should all readings go to the replicas? or reading goes to all nodes?

Attached is config file.

 

 

[pgpool@usdf23v0550 ~]$ pgpool -v

pgpool-II version 3.7.1 (amefuriboshi)

 

Reading should go to all nodes.

Yes, that's an expected behavior.

Why?

When client A connects to pgpool, it connects to all PostgreSQL (a, b,
c, d). But actually pgpool sends query to one of them (in case load
balance node is primary) or two of them (in case load balance node is
not primary). Suppose it sends to a and b. Client A logs off, but
connections to a and b remain because of connection pooling. Client B
comes in. B uses c and d. The connections to c and d remain.

So eventually pgpool needs to connect to all backend anyway.
