Pgpool-II has been around to complement PostgreSQL over a decade and provides many features like connection pooling, failover, query caching, load balancing, and HA. High Availability (HA) is very critical to most enterprise application, the clients needs the ability to automatically reconnect with a secondary node when the master nodes goes down.
This is where Pgpool-II watchdog feature comes in, the core feature of Pgpool-II provides HA by eliminating the SPOF is the Watchdog. This watchdog feature has been around for a while but it went through major overhauling and enhancements in recent releases.
