一.部署说明
1.1 实施环境
本文档实验环境如下：
PGSQL主机: 192.168.1.45
PGSQL备机: 192.168.1.50
软件和系统版本
Pgsql 版本: pgsql 9.2.4
Linux 版本: Redhat 5.8
pgpool版本：pgpool-II version 3.3.4 (tokakiboshi)
1.2 文档说明
在postgresql 的stream replication配置一文我们实现了postgresql的stream replication，实现了postgresql的热备。而实际生产中集群的目的之一就是负载均衡。那我们系统为例，刚开始java程序需要修改数据源，将查询的压力分担给从机，对数据的修改设置为主机。但是这种方式不灵活，负载不能均衡，并且比较麻烦。所以如果此时有一个路由控制器多好，可以根据请求将请求分发给不同的数据库。刚好，pgpoool就是这么一个中间件，负责与数据库集群交互，对外提供统一的访问接口，使得程序对数据库的访问变得简单，提高整个系统的性能。本文主要配置pgpool的负载均衡，是在上篇博文：PostgreSQL的HA解决方案-1主从和备份（master/slave and backup） 的基础之上配置的。
为了试验减少不必要的麻烦，本系列试验中，各个主机之间的通信，都是设置为无密码访问，且关闭主从的防火墙，但对于实际生产，需要根据实际需要，配置密码，增强集群的安全性。
二.配置步骤
1.1 源码安装pgpool。参考中文手册：http://pgpool.projects.pgfoundry.org/pgpool-II/doc/pgpool-zh_cn.html#install。
1.2 安装pgpool中提供的工具。安装 pgpool_regclass。注意 pgpool_regclass是在你解压pgpool后的目录中的sql目录下，而不是你的安装目录。
pgpool_regclass主要作用是，方便在数据库查询中，查询关于pgpool的的配置参数，监控信息等，请仔细阅读中文手册。应在在每台通过 pgpool-II 访问的数据库中执行 pgpool-regclass.sql。你不需要在你执行“psql -f pgpool-regclass.sql template1”后建立的数据库中这么做，因为这个模板数据库将被克隆成新建的数据库。
cd pgpool-II-x.x.x/sql/pgpool-regclass make make install psql -f pgpool-regclass.sql template1
安装之后，再在/usr/local/pgsql/share/extension/目录下多出如下文件：
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152 Sep 10 09:29 pgpool_regclass.control -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283 Sep 10 09:29 pgpool_regclass--1.0.sql -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 142 Sep 10 09:29 pgpool-regclass.sql
1.3 配置pgpool的配置文件。
主要配置：
listen_addresses="*" port=5433 backend_hostname0="localhost" backend_port0="5432" backend_weight0=1 backend_hostname1="192.168.57.175" backend_port1="5432" backend_weight1=1 replication_mode=off load_balance_mode=on master_slave_mode=on master_save_sub_mode="stream" parallel_mode=off

1.4 启动pgpool：pgpool -dn 以非守护进程，调试模式运行pgpool，因为如果默认是守护进程，待会想停止就麻烦了。其他参数--help.
注意观察调试信息。如果有错误，请重新查看配置文件。如果没有法相错误，使用命令：psql -p 9999 ，通过pgpool进入数据库。如果可以进入就说明pgpool监听的9999正常，且成功连接数据库。
此时使用如下命令查看监听的数据库信息：当发现status为3时，使用ping、telnet、psql -h进行测试网络连通性。关闭防火墙。
postgres=# show pool_nodes; node_id | hostname | port | status | lb_weight | role ---------+--------------+------+--------+-----------+--------- 0 | 192.168.1.45 | 5432 | 2 | 0.500000 | primary 1 | 192.168.1.50 | 5432 | 2 | 0.500000 | standby
当然，可以启动主从数据库的日志级别为 all。那么对数据的一切操作，都可以查看到。此时可以使用脚本测试一下。就可以查看主从的日志。看看是否都有日志记录。
for i in {1..100}; do echo $i; psql -p 9999 -U postgres -h 192.168.1.45 -d postgres -c "select * from test"; done
1.5 查看pgpool的状态。参考手册：http://pgpool.projects.pgfoundry.org/pgpool-II/doc/pgpool-zh_cn.html#show-commands
之前安装的regclass就是通过psql查看pgpool状态的工具。可以运行下列命令查看：
pgpool-II 通过 SHOW 命令提供一些信息。SHOW 是一个真实的 SQL 语句, 但是如果该命令查询 pgpool-II 信息的话，pgpool-II 解释了该命令。可选项如下: pool_status, 获取配置 pool_nodes, 获取节点信息 pool_processes, 获取pgPool-II 进程信息 pool_pools, 获取pgPool-II 所有的连接池信息 pool_version, 获取pgPool_II 版本信息
比如：pool_processes。查看进程池的情况。可以根据需要修改pgpool中的设置。
