Thanks, will fix.

I will measure the performance effect of this code.
I'm expecting that performances are,
'first 1 (n1, n2)'  > 'any 1(n1, n2)' > 'first 2(n1, n2)'
'first 1 (n1, n2)' will be highest throughput.

I see. The parameter on client should effect for priority method as well.
And similar to synchronous_commit, the client can specify the how much
standbys the master waits to commit for according to synchronization
method, even if s_s_names is defined.
