Hi, I'm looking for a way to reliably detect if it's a promoting standby. This is neccessary for pgpool-II manage streaming replication clusters. When primary goes down, standby *could* start promoting to primary. The only way to find it is calling pg_is_in_recovery(). Problem is, it returns true even if standby is promoting. If pgpool-II waits for cetain period, it may finishes promotion, thus it returns false. But how long should we wait?
