pg_async.rs

Asynchronous, HA (master-master) PostgreSQL driver on top of libpq.

Vision

• [x] Works with a master-master replicated database, such as BDR.
• [x] Uses libpq, leveraging it's asynchronous support.
• [x] Maintains an asynchronous connection to every node of the replicated cluster.
• [ ] Pings the nodes (with SELECT 1) to see who's closer/faster.
• [x] Every operation is a separate transaction.
• [ ] If a node fails, the operation is transparently retried on another node.
• [x] Operations are exposed as futures.
• [x] futures are backed by a thread or two and can be used without a tokio reactor (because KISS).
• [ ] Fast mode: send the operation to every node and return the first answer.
• [ ] Pin mode: send the operation to one of the nodes only (useful to avoid some of the master-master conflicts).
• [ ] There is a JSON helper converting table rows to serde_json objects.
