[Postgres-xc-developers] Configuration file for GTM

Hi,

In the same model as postgresql.conf, why not creating a configuration file
only for GTM/Proxy?
This advantage of that could be the reduction of call parameters for GTM and
proxy
Here is the list of parameters that could be used:
hostname, string, GTM server hostname/IP to listen.
port, string, GTM server port number to listen.
nodenum, integer, node number for GTM server.
start_xid, integer, start value of GXID feed
log_filename, name of log file in GTM data directory

Standby options
standby, boolean Start as a GTM standby server.
standby_conn_string, in the same model as what is done in recovery.conf for
standby nodes.

Proxy options:
gtm_conn_string, connection string to use when contacting GTM (This string
is completed with nodeID when registering)
worker_thread_num, integer, number of worker threads

Other options:
log_min_messages, minimum level of logs that are written.

The main purpose of this initiative is to have:
1) an easier configuration interface for GTM and proxy
2) have a control on the logs GTM write, now GTM writes a large quantity of
logs and log file can reach easily several GB after 1 hour of run.

For the implementation, it could be possible to use the guc interface but I
am not that much familiar with that.
Any thoughts? Complementary ideas?
