I have observed that a commit on a replication master hangs if there are no
slaves to communicate with if synchronous replication is enabled. I believe I
have seen a posting that this behavior is deliberate.
In my environment I'd prefer to have the master continue processing
transactions if there is a failure at the slave. Questions:
* is there any way to allow the master proceed if the slave is
unavailable (perhaps a configuration parameter I'm missing)?
* if not, is there any ideological objection to allowing the master to
continue for users that would prefer that behavior?
Thanks.
