Internal catalogs and views#

bdr.event_history#

Internal catalog table that tracks cluster membership events for a given PGD node. Specifically, it tracks:

  • Node joins (to the cluster)

  • Raft state changes (that is, whenever the node changes its role in the consensus protocol - leader, follower, or candidate to leader) - see Monitoring Raft consensus

  • Whenever a worker has errored out (see bdr.workers

and Monitoring PGD replication workers )
