  Description     : write-scalable, synchronous multi-master, transparent PostgreSQL cluster
   It is a collection if tightly coupled database components which can be
   installed in more than one hardware or virtual machines.
   .
   Write-scalable means Postgres-XC can be configured with as many
   database servers as you want and handle many more writes (updating SQL
   statements) compared to what a single database server can not do.
   .
   Multi-master means you can have more than one database server that
   clients connect to which provide a single, consistent cluster-wide view
   of the database.
   .
   Synchronous means any database update from any database server is
   immediately visible to any other transactions running on different
   masters.
   .
   Transparent means you (and your applications) do not have to worry
   about how your data is stored in more than one database servers
   internally.
   .
   You can configure Postgres-XC to run on multiple servers. Your data is
   stored in a distributed way, that is, partitioned or replicated, as
   chosen by you for each table. When you issue queries, Postgres-XC
   determines where the target data is stored and issues corresponding
   queries to servers containing the target data.
