Hi all,
sorry for the trivial question, but I cannot find this in
documentation, so please indicate me where I can find (in case I
missed).
What is the difference between main and primary nodes?

For example, in my logs I've:

LOG:  failover: 2 follow backends have been degenerated
LOG:  failover: set new primary node: 1
LOG:  failover: set new main node: 2

in my scenario, the third host (so number 2) has been promoted. So
what is the "primary" node 1 doing?

Thanks,
Luca
