    stack/erp5: Add failover script · 590bc924
    Xavier Thompson authored
    Add a script in bin directory that can be called manually to turn a
    replica into a primary. Being able to turn a replica into a primary
    is an absolutely necessary feature of replication. It's a necessary
    step of a takoever procedure.
    
    Questions remain for automatisation. One option is to provide a url
    the user may simply interact with (clickable button ...) to trigger
    the script, that may also be used automatically as part of a larger
    takoever procedure.
    
    Triggering the change to primary by editing the instance parameters
    - such as by removing the replication-related parameters - does not
    seem best: one immediate drawback is the uncertain propagation time
    of instance parameters; another is the reliance on the availability
    of the SlapOS master to trigger a usually time-sensitive operation.
