+ Resign the master watchdog node from master responsibilities if
+ the primary backend node gets into quarantine state on that. (Muhammd Usama)
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ By doing this, we could avoid the situation on which there's no
+ primary <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server exists. To
+ implement this, make the master/coordinator watchdog node resign
+ from its status if it fails to get the consensus for the
+ quarantined primary node failover, within
+ FAILOVER_COMMAND_FINISH_TIMEOUT(15) seconds.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When the watchdog master resigns, because of quarantined primary
+ node its wd_priority is decreased to (-1), so that it should get
+ the least preference in the next election for the
+ master/coordinator node selection. And once the election is
+ concluded the wd_priority for the node gets restored to the
+ original configured value.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In case of failed consensus for standby node failover no action
+ is taken.
