Re: [PATCHES] [HACKERS] Function to kill backend

[Andreas Pflug]

Would you use a kill operation in the way you describe above 
if you knew
that it had, say, a 1% chance of causing a database-wide PANIC 
each time
you used it?
Seems there's the need for some connection killing functionality. If 
it's not present, the whole cluster needs to be shut down, which makes 
it unavailable with 100 % chance.

If there's a .00001 % chance it *corrupts* the cluster, the function is 
not acceptable. But iff it's a good chance to keep the cluster running, 
it's worth having it (and should be used sensibly).

Regards,
Andreas
