[pgpool-general: 6139] Re: PgPool in streaming replication mode without failover and primary down

I cannot get this to work neither, I tried various combination of parameters. Once the primary is stopped pgpool does not accept connections at all. 
In particular, if I set the failover_command to '' (empty string) then when the primary is stopped pgpool starts searching for a new primary (find_primary_node: checking backend no x repeated in the log) but in the meantime it does not accept connections.
Another solution to this problem is to not use pgpool but use a connection string of the form
postgresql://user:secret@host1:5432;host2:5432/somedb?target_session_attrs=any
https://paquier.xyz/postgresql-2/postgres-10-libpq-read-write/


but I am not sure all clients support this format (the nodejs pg-node does not).

 Wolf,Do you mind sharing relevant configuration and version of pgpool you are using? Do you have more than one slave?
I have tried the following combinations:
backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_MASTER|DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
backend_flag1 = 'DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'

backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_MASTER'
backend_flag1 = 'DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'

backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_MASTER' 
backend_flag1 = 'ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER' 
master_slave_mode = on
master_slave_sub_mode = 'stream'

sr_check_period = 0 and default sr_check_period = 10
health_check_period = 0
failover_command = ''
fail_over_on_backend_error = off and fail_over_on_backend_error = on

Yes it is possible I have all my Pgpool hosts setup that way. My setup is a streaming replica and I don't apply the failover.sh script. If the master goes down pgpool fails over to the standby in readonly mode.

    Which version of Pgpool-II do you use?
    It also happened by latest version of Pgpool-II 3.7.4?
