Clustering is bunching more than host together to achieve a common goal. Thus multimaster replication may be a way to achieve clustering, but clustering is not a way to achieve multimaster replication. I don't actually see clustering defined in the documentation. Can someone explain the categorization? (FWIW, I think "Clustering For Parallel Query Execution" later in the list is an appropriate use of the term.) -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
