I wonder why someone can't just add etcd to postgres and create self-sufficient distributed postgres nodes (I am oversimplifying, surely)

- hardwaresofton 12y agoRight, but generally, why not just integrate that functionality with the actual data nodes? In the diagram they have 2, but where you have two, you can add more for more reliability, right? following that thinking down the rabbit hole, and you've got distributed transaction monitoring across the data nodes(paxos/raft)... Just wondering why that wasn't the goal
