Re: Assembling "top features" list for beta announcement

Hi,

I think besides assembling the list, it is also important to come up
with clear, correct and catchy names for each feature.

Again, pglogical is a specific out-of-core extension, which is not in
V10. "Logical Replication" is the one we should promote.

I'd call it "Native Partitioning" or "Declarative Partitioning"

"Qurom-Based Syncronous Replication"

"Improved and Extended Parallel Query"

IMO the three headline features are Logical Replication, Partitioning
and Parallel Query - not sure Quorum Commit stands out compared to the
others below.

"Improved and Crash-Proof Hash Indexes", or "Improved and
Production-Ready Hash indexes" - there have been several performance
optimizations as well.

As the list is getting rather large, I am not sure this one merits
inclusion, but I don't how much it improves things, really.

I'm afraid this doesn't tell a lot of people what's going on, but I
haven't come up with a better 3-5 word explanation, yet.

There is also:

"Client-Side Connection-Failover"

"Improved and Easier Replication Setup" (Peter mentioned that as well)

Plus what else Peter mentioned.

From a marketing standpoint, I guess it is good that some features like
WARM did not make it or else we'd have even more trouble coming up with
a concise list.
