[Postgres-xc-general] Discussion in PGCon 2014

[Koichi S. <koi...@gm...>]

As Josh Berkus announced, there were bunch of XC-related discussions
in PGCon 2014. Whole meeting was very supportive to XC.

Materials will be found at following pages:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgCon2014ClusterSummit
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Pgcon2014PostgresXCmeeting

Also, there are a couple of unconference discussions related to XC.

Hope these meeting notes are available soon.

Postgres-XC meeting was attended by several major PostgreSQL community
members as well as people interested in XC in their applications.

Through these discussions, I found the following are very important:

* XC has sufficient feature.   Stability is the crucial issue.
Priority of merge with PG9.4 is not high.  Missing features such as
WHERE CURRENT OF are not used.
* XC community should be more open.   For example, roadmap discussion
has not been done in public.
* Concentrate on simple benchmark, such as DBT-1, DBT-2 and pgbench.
* It is important to share evaluation and user experience.

I appreciate all the people in PGCon sessions/meetings for such
productive and fruitful discussions.

Give these suggestions, I'd like to begin open discussion of
Postgres-XC roadmap for release 1.3 and beyond, hopefully this
weekend.    Current core members are revising current roadmap to
reflect these discussions.   This will be published as a material for
discussions/proposals/comments/etc.

Any more input is very welcome.

Thank you very much.
