There have been discussions about being able to do that and there are
really use cases where that would be useful. As lately quorum commit
has been committed, we have a better idea of the grammar to use
(yeah!), though there are a couple of things remaining regarding the
design of node subsets:
- How to define group names? Making them mandatory would likely be the
way to go.
- How to represent that intuitively in pg_stat_replication? Perhaps
the answer here is an extra column in this system view.
