Hi all!
I was wondering if there are any specific load balancing/failover functionality 
planned for client drivers connection to a BDR group. In my case the jdbc 
driver, but could be relevant for other drivers as well.

Or is the long term plan that we need we need to rely on middleware like pgpool 
or other third party frameworks for this?

The reason I’m asking is because I was reading up on BDR and started thinking 
about who important the client interfaces also are to be able to take full 
advantage of these features. 

Having client awareness of the nodes ip, port numbers, status and current load, 
could probably bring powerful features to this as a whole. That is some how 
other database vendors take care of client failover and load balancing and has 
in my experience proved to work very well.  

And not only for BDR, but also streaming replication setups, could use this to 
do automatic client failovers, in the case there is a server side failover.

Anyone who knows if there is anything in progress regarding this?

Kind regards, Martin
