<filename>referee</filename> is a <productname>&productname;</productname>
5+
extension for managing quorum settings in clusters with an even number
6+
of nodes configured with <link linkend="multimaster">multimaster</link>.
7+
Installed on a separate system, the <filename>referee</filename>
8+
extension provides a voting node to assign the quorum status to a subset
9+
of nodes if only half of the cluster nodes remain connected to each other.

<para>
12+
If a multi-master cluster is split into equal parts, or half of the
13+
cluster nodes fail, each subset of nodes that equals half of the
14+
cluster tries to access the referee.
15+
The first subset that gets connected to the referee wins the voting
16+
and continues working, while all the other nodes are excluded from
17+
the cluster to avoid split-brain problems.

<para>
21+
The referee node does not store any cluster data, so it is very lightweight
22+
and can be located on systems with limited resources. For details on how
23+
to set up and use a referee node with <filename>multimaster</filename>,
24+
see <xref linkend="setting-up-a-referee">.
