Performace patch for ruby-1.9.3-p327

Changes:

  • this version includes backport of Greg Price's patch for speedup startup http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7158 .

    ruby-core prefers his way to do thing, so that I abandon cached-lp and sorted-lf patches of mine.

  • this version integrates 'array as queue' patch, which improves performance when push/shift pattern is heavily used on Array.

    This patch is accepted into trunk for Ruby 2.0 and last possible bug is found by Yui Naruse. It is used in production* for a couple of months without issues even with this bug.

Basic setup of WAL-E for continuous archiving and recovery

WAL-E needs to be installed on all machines, masters and slaves.

How to install WAL-E

Only one machine, the master, writes WAL segments via continuous archiving. The configuration for the master postgresql.conf is:

archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env wal-e wal-push %p'
archive_timeout = 60
