* [PATCH 8/9] Define multi-minmax oclasses for types without distance

The existing multi-minmax opclasses rely on "distance" function when
deciding how to build the ranges, covering all the values. In principle,
those opclasses try to minimize the lengths of ranges, i.e. maximize the
lengths of "gaps" between them.

For some data types it's hard to construct a distance function - types
like "text" or "name" generally serve as labels, and may have ordering
only. So this uses a different approach, based on the observation that
it's the outliers that "break" BRIN minmax indexes, i.e. the lowest and
highest values. So simply sort the values, keep the (K-2) extreme values
on either tail, and build a single range representing the values in the
middle. Of course, the question is whether this is actually useful, but
that's hard to judge, and it's the best we can do.

Raft is not for "commodity hardware". It is for reliability.
Yes, it needs 3 servers instead of 2. It costs more than simple replication
with "manual" failover.

But if business needs high availability, it wouldn't rely on "manual"
failover. And if business relies on correctness, it would rely on any
solution which "automatically switches between two replicas". Because there
is no way to guarantee correctness with just two replicas. And many stories
of lost transactions with Patroni/Stolon already confirms this thesis.

CockroachDB/Neon - they are good solutions for distributed systems. But, as
you've said, many clients don't need distributed systems. They just need
reliable replication.

I've been working in a company which uses MongoDB (3.6 and up) as their
primary storage. And it seemed to me as "God Send". Everything just worked.
Replication was as reliable as one could imagine. It outlives several
hardware incidents without manual intervention. It allowed cluster
maintenance (software and hardware upgrades) without application downtime.
I really dream PostgreSQL will be as reliable as MongoDB without need of
external services.

I completely understand. I had exactly the same experience with
Stolon. Everything just worked. And the setup took like 5 minutes.

It's a pity this project doesn't seem to get as much attention as
Patroni. Probably because attention requires traveling and presenting
the project at conferences which costs money. Or perhaps people are
just happy with Patroni. I'm not sure in which state Stolon is today.

But the key point: if PostgreSQL will be improved a bit, there will be no
need neither in Patroni, nor in Stolon. Isn't it great?

thanks for pointing out mongodb, so built-in raft would help
ferretdb as well.
