Set up 9 servers

Data nodes: pgxl1 pgxl2 pgxl3 pgxl4 pgxl5

GTM: pgxl-gtm-1 pgxl-gtm-2

Coordinators: pgxl-coord-1 pgxl-coord-2 pgxl-coord-3

Open Up firewall.

Set up SSH between hosts

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 set up root ssh between all nodes

/etc/hosts

set up /etc/hosts with all cluster name/IPs.

Set up /etc/hosts with all cluster name/IPs for Postgres interface, with pg- prefix

Get source

Binary: wget https://www.postgres-xl.org/downloads/postgres-xl-10r1.tar.gz

Git (better): git clone https://git.postgresql.org/git/postgres-xl.git

Install Dependencies

apt install build-essential bison flex libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev

Build

git checkout remotes/origin/XL_10_STABLE

mkdir build_dir cd build_dir ../configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin make -j8 sudo make install

System Startup

vim /etc/systemd/system/postgresql.service [Unit] Description=PostgreSQL database server Documentation=man:postgres(1)

[Service] Type=notify User=postgres ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=mixed KillSignal=SIGINT TimeoutSec=0

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Configure

adduser postgres

Run this as root: /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/pgsql/lib

XXX no? Add this to ~/.bashrc LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Set up user postgres to ssh to all nodes on database ethernet interface.

chown postgres:postgres /usr/local/pgsql

https://www.postgres-xl.org/documentation/pgxc-ctl.html

Log into pgxl1, run: sudo su - postgres pgxc_ctl At PGXC promt run: prepare config empty

GTM master, GTM slave, GTM proxy, Coordinator master/slave and Datanode master/slave need its own port to listen to. Coordinators and Datanodes also need a pooler port to pool connections to Datanodes.

While adding a Coordinator master and a Datanode master, extra server configuration and extra pg_hba configuration parameters can be specified in a file.

Create database

ssh pgxl-coord-1 sudo su - postgres psql -p 30001 create database foo;

Check it replicated:

ssh pgxl1 sudo su - postgres psql -p 40001 \l
