Bug Description
It is difficult for charms to negotiate amongst each other to decide on a leader. (Unit A may see Units B and C but units B and C do not see eachother)
It should be easy to leverage the central nature of the Juju DB to provide a point of reference for them to collaborate.
The idea is outlined in this doc: https:/
Marking this as High because we would like to see it in this cycle.

Document the limitation in the PostgreSQL charm. Use the new facilities once they are provided by juju.

Not so much difficult, but impossible. The separate sets of units elect different leaders, and you have a split-brain. You can't resolve this without arbitrarily throwing away information from one of the leaders.
