 def process_sync_replication(self):
 """Process synchronous standby beahvior. Synchronous standbys are registered in two places postgresql.conf and DCS. The order of updating them must be right. The invariant that should be kept is that if a node is master and sync_standby is set in DCS, then that node must have synchronous_standby set to that value. Or more simple, first set in postgresql.conf and then in DCS. When removing, first remove in DCS, then in postgresql.conf. This is so we only consider promoting standbys that were guaranteed to be replicating synchronously. """
